Talk:Daphne, Alabama

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry? The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

Recreation
If anyone has additional info on the parks and recreations section please jump in. I got it started. Probably need a cultural section too. If I don't get it soon, maybe you guys can start it. JBEvans 01:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * For Daphne, Fairhope and Spanish Fort, would it not be wise to notate in a cultural section that they all celebrate Mardi Gras? --Mnemnoch 17:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Move to Bay Minette as County Seat
I thought that the original story was that the records were stored in Daphne and stolen. During the process, they were taken to Bay Minette. I need to drive up to the historic Methodist Church near Bayside and check the signage as I believe this is a fact. --Mnemnoch 17:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you are correct, at least that's what I have heard. In those days, the county seat was wherever the records were. I think the legislature later validated the location of the county seat but the theft is also the story I have heard. We should be able to verify it somewhere.

 * This is listed on http://www.daphneal.com/history.asp and I've edited the article accordingly until I can find further research on it.--Mnemnoch 00:37, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Commuter town
I fail to see how Daphne is a commuter town as it has no public carpooling services, major public transportation, or likewise. Even though US Highway 98 meets I-10 and goes through Daphne, this doesn't mean that it's a thoroughfare for a "bedroom town". Much like other cities around it, Daphne has supported other cities around it throughout the 19th Century and have all been cities have been independently successful. --Mnemnoch 04:35, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Mayor's Business??
Is it necessary to name the business owned by the mayor? It has no particular standing of its own and seems a little like a commercial nod. Any thoughts? JodyBtalk 22:06, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I concur and have made a revision to this. Mnemnoch (talk) 02:53, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Education section revision
I don't think the education section looks very good. What would you think of removing the sub-sections and bringing everything into one or two paragraphs? JodyBtalk 03:50, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and made some changes to clean it up so it wouldn't look so fractured. I hope it meets your standards. 13:04, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Good Article Review
I am nominating this article for review as a Good Article. I am at the point where I think a review would help figure out where to go from here. My goal is to one day take this to Featured Article status but that is a long way away. Any thoughts or edits from anyone is helpful. Thanks! JodyBtalk 19:30, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Abu Mansoor Al-Amriki
Abu Mansoor Al-Amriki has been listed as a notable person in the Daphne, Alabama article for a very long time. Recently, a user has decided to remove him stating that he was not really notable and wasn't really from Daphne. I disagree. The Washington Post reports that he was a commander in a particularly brutal terrorist group and that he had earned "a spot on the FBI's list of most-wanted terrorists and a $5 million bounty on his head." (September 13, 2013). I would suggest that makes him notable in any discussion. The same Washington Post report says "Amriki was raised in Daphne, Ala." In addition, the subject has a page on Wikipedia which shows him as coming from Daphne. In addition, he was the Class President at Daphne High School. I suggest he should be returned to the article.
