Internet meme "Crazy Lady" happened in Canton, Ohio
Hi! I'm not certain which exact neighborhood the "Crazy Lady" incident occured, but, I am 100% certain that it happened somewhere in Canton, Ohio. One of the photographers is Andrew Cleary. He said "What do you want? What in the fuck is the problem?" to "Crazy Lady", though I have no idea what her name is. However, maybe there should be an article on the "Crazy Lady" incident. If there is one, already, please let me know as a reply to me on this page. Thank you very much. --205.211.16.254 (talk) 15:33, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Canton Classic Car Museum
I added among attractions the Canton Classic Car Museum (unfortunately a red link), and two days later it was deleted. Why? Would it be permitted with no link? J S Ayer (talk) 02:45, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Apparently not; I tried it again, bold-faced this time instead of red-linked, and 17 minutes later it was deleted, no comment, by a user who is merely a number. I do wish someone else would comment. J S Ayer (talk) 01:05, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure why because there is currently no written article on the Canton Classic Car Museum here on Wikipedia yet. If there were an written article on the museum, then it would make sense to have it in the intro of the main article. OHWiki (talk) 21:04, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Does it need to have its own article to be mentioned, or can it just be worth mentioning? J S Ayer (talk) 14:59, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Republic Steel Canton Ohio 2013
Here is the text about LTV and Republic Steel from the Article: 'Canton, Ohio' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canton,_Ohio As in many industrial areas of the United States, employment in the manufacturing sector is in a state of long-term decline. LTV Steel (formerly Republic Steel) had been a large employer before its bankruptcy in 2000.

I will soon update this article about Republic Steel (tm), which is the current name of the same steel mill facilities located at 2633 8th Street NE; Canton, Ohio for about 125 years. Republic has recently rebuilt one furnace into a modern bottom-pour furnace. Republic produces special bar quality steel including steel with lead. I will also cite this page: http://www.republicsteel.com/

I will also update the Republic Steel page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_Steel. Sponsion (talk) 22:26, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Untitled
I changed the part about Timken plants closing because they only proposed closing some of their plants. There are still no plans to actually close any plants.

If someone else wants to research this, they should look into the Hoover Company plant closing. Maytag (the owner of Hoover) already announced they intend to fully close their North Canton factory. Hoover is currently (26 Jul 2005) being courted for an acquisition by Whirlpool in addition to a Chinese manufacturer, so that's still up in the air as well.
 * Hoover doesn't have any plants in Canton. I don't think they ever did.. They have a plant in Jackson Township. and in North Canton

Republic Steel is being bought by a Mexican steel company. That's probably a bigger blow to local pride. LTV is in the hands of Mittal Steel
 * Industrias CH out of Mexico City is the curent owner. Jaime Vigil is the Current President and CEO of Republic. He's 25 years old. Apparently it's a family business..

Park Farms and Sugardale Meats are also major contributors to the economy..
 * Since you mention food processing, I remember a candy manufacturer, perhaps located in the Belden Village area. Don't remember their name, and couldn't say whether they're still in business or whether or not they really were that significant. RadioKAOS  –&#32; Talk to me, Billy  14:48, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Canton Repository controversy?
I take it there's some controversy in the local newspaper concerning this article? How can we help resolve this? -- SwissCelt 12:31, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * What controversy? Anonymous 04:07, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * There was either an article or online blog in the Canton Repository last year criticizing this Wikipedia article. The resulting controversy may have been resolved since then; I posted the above last April to solicit contributions from Repository readers. -- SwissCelt 04:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The only thing close to a "Canton Repository controversy" I would deem to be notable would be the murder of Don Mellett and the circumstances surrounding it. While Mellett didn't work for the Repository, competing against them evidently led to many of those events occurring.  I didn't pay any notice to this aforementioned "controversy" when it occurred, but in retrospect, it sounds like more grasping at straws to me.

famouse people
Marilyn Manson Maycie Graye Jim Thorpe —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Purplepurplepurple (talk • contribs) 03:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
 * Typos aside, you should be referring to "notable people", as too many Wikipedians make a bad habit as it is of confusing celebrity with notability. I had thoughts regarding several names.  First, I know I read something years ago to the effect of "Marilyn Manson isn't from Canton, he's from Perry Township".  I'm not sure that distinction is important enough for Wikipedia purposes.  What is important, however: several sources have referred to Ernie Roth as being from Canton.  Since these sources don't appear to include the fanboy websites favored by the WP:PW regulars, there's been no mention of this so far that I can tell.  Also, while Phil Lesh is not from Canton, his family has deep roots there.  The road running past the Stark County Jail might serve as your first clue.  More on Lesh at a later time, as I've spent too long with this post. RadioKAOS  –&#32; Talk to me, Billy  14:48, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Newton Zone
Having grown up in Canton in the Summit neighborhood area, I take offence to the "Newton Zone" being considered a "neighborhood". It is not! It is the moniker given to a "red light district" that overshadows the Summit and West Park neighborhoods. The “Newton Zone” started off as nothing but a minor street, practically an alley, named Newton Court where drugs were bought and sold. The “Newton Zone” used to be contained in a small area west of Fulton Road. This area has now spread its tendrils into much of the Summit area neighborhoods. This inner-city "blight" -- overrun with drug dealers and prostitutes -- is an embarrassment to the city and has consumed many fine working-class neighborhoods. What is now coined as the “Newton Zone” runs from West Tuscarawas Street north to 12 Street NW and from McKinley Avenue NW west to Monument Road NW. If you feel you must note “the Newton Zone”, then call it what it is, urban blight, NOT a “neighborhood”.69.221.164.53 20:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Neighborhoods are neighborhoods because people Decide they are? enough people think that it is. So the Newton zone is a neighborhood. What about around Belden School, or around CHIPS?
 * There is drugs all over Canton. The question isn't the area they are in. It should be what are you going to do about it? The Canton police just drive by these people everyday and all day long with out doing anything. So what are you going to do if you want the drugs off your streets? Demand that the police do there jobs and demand that these people be removed off the streets. One person can't do anything, but a group of people can. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank23834 (talk • contribs) 01:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Speaking as a white boy who spent a good enough portion of his early childhood around 12th and Fulton, the area looks totally ghetto now. Just my opinion, but I doubt I'm the only one who has expressed this. RadioKAOS  –&#32; Talk to me, Billy  14:48, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

I use to live in the "newton zone" as a very young teen back in the early 80's for many years. We looked out for one another like a family. We, as family and friends tried to police our area the best we could to ensure the peace and justice. The real police would not do anything, except drive by and wave. We did not allow black people in our neighborhood. There were occasionial gun fights with black people but Eventually as each black family moved into the area the area became even worse off than it was before. Like a bunch of coach roaches and rats infesting the area. What you see is what you get. LOL. Now you can have it because we have since moved on.

Don Mellett
Let's not start an edit war over something silly. To determine whether the assassination should be included in the descriptor, we should answer these questions:
 * Was the assassination particularly notable itself?
 * Would Mellett have been notable if here were not killed?
 * Is he even notable enough to include in the entry?
