Talk:Niles, Illinois

Slight reformat
I went ahead and shifted a few things around after looking at some other pages for other towns (aiming for some uniformity). I put the current events and famous places suff more towards the bottom so that the geography, demographics, and education areas would stay near the top.TeganX7 23:05, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Current Events in Niles
Will there be an edit of this entry to comment on the recent scandal involving fraud and the case of the long-time mayor of this city?
 * I added a section, but I don't have much time to work on it. If someone wants to add more information to it, that'd be nice. Cosmos 21:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Inaccurate Information
Baby Face Nelson was dumped in a Niles Center, Illinois cementary. Niles Center is now known as Skokie. I do not have a reference for this so someone may want to research it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.134.250.23 (talk) 02:40, 22 December 2006 (UTC).

I removed the fifth sister city from Michigan for two reasons: 1. The link led to a city on the Baltic with a similar name. It leads me to believe whoever put this in was nto sure about what they were putting up. 2. The Town's website lists only four sister cities (those listed) 3. The citation stated "as of 2005". This is now 2007, and the city website still only lists four.

It is opssible this is in error, but the best current information seems to support deletion. TeganX7 22:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Election of a felon
I recently deleted this entry for two reasons:
 * This appears to be in violation of WP:NOT. When local papers gave out endorsements, it was noted that he had a felon background.  The article cited noted that he is free to take office unless there is a complaint.  This will likely occur the moment he votes/doesn't vote in favor of something that someone wanted/didn't want.  If the story develops, then it is something beyond the news.
 * The wording of the statement appeared to be in violation of WP:NPOV. The candidate had a name, but was referred to as "felon".  It may be true, but did not hold up to standards of WP:NPOV. LonelyBeacon (talk) 03:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Added Content
I added a 'Government and Services' section, both to give information on the structure of the governing organization, and to introduce notable initiatives undertaken. Citations are needed, either from Village website or local newspapers.

Other additions to this article could include: Single-year build of new water pipeline to bypass Chicago, Niles Cycling Classic pro bike race, Holly Jolly Market tree lighting festival with fireworks, increase in TIF usage, conceptual plans for a Rosemont-style entertainment district and a park modeled after Millennium and Maggie Daley parks.
