Talk:Hagerstown, Maryland

Pics
Does anyone have any pictures of Hagerstown to put on the article page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vpuliva (talk • contribs) 05:18, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Image removed; media added
Sorry to the person who put the link to an image of Potomac Towers. I removed it. I rearranged some stuff and added some new sections too. I added a bit about Herald-Mail and radio stations including WAYZ. Hope it looks okay.

Origin of name of Indiana town
Hey folks, I am from your smaller namesake Hagerstown, Indiana and I am trying to verify for certain if our town is named after the much larger and important Hagerstown, Maryland. It would make sense, but I have found no verification of this. Thanks, Chris4682

Little Heiskell bullet?
_____ I don't see a bullet hole in "Little Heiskell"... -MaxJ

Bad pic
Bad picture, but the clearest I could find. The original and the reproduction both display the bullet hole, but the silhouette on the Hagerstown website does not seem to include it.--Rosicrucian 01:18, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

WAYZ Revert
I've removed this. WAYZ isn't even the only Verstandig station, let alone the only Hagerstown radio station. --Rosicrucian 00:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Herald-Mail
Shouldn't there be some mention of, if not an article about, the H-M? -- Orange Mike 14:26, 6 April 2007 (UTC) Bold text

Keep or leave 'Metropolitan area' section?
I was wondering if possibly we should remove the Metropolitan area section. There is some information about it in the intro and fairly recently (after the section was created), I made a separate and full info. article for the metro area. Does anyone have any suggestions/comments regarding this? Vpuliva (talk) 23:38, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I am now thinking maybe we could substitute the section with a See also section referring to the article page for Hagerstown Metro. What do you think? Vpuliva (talk) 23:42, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Hattie Carroll and William Zantzinger
There was a message box saying that the Carroll/Zantzinger section had too few references. I added Los Angeles Times, Welcome to Baltimore, Washington Post and Baltimore Sun. That *should* take care of any issues. Jrosenberry1 (talk) 02:12, 30 August 2013 (UTC)jrosenberry1


 * Bear in mind that this is a topic about Hagerstown, and that large digressions should be in specific topics, such as is already done in The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll. The material added so far is redundant and the reader would be better served by finding the point in this topic where it is relevant (this has not been done), and extending that point.  Alternatively, a see-also is useful TEDickey (talk) 08:09, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
