Talk:Tiffin, Ohio

reversion
Why is the same link repeated over and over for the racial make-up section? This is clearly a case of overlinking. One link to the article should be sufficient --- all of the links that were restored are redirects to the Race and ethnicity in the United States Census article.

The Manual of Style says:
 * An article may be overlinked if any of the following is true:
 * A link for any single term is excessively repeated in the same article, as in the example of overlinking that follows: "Excessive" is more than once for the same term, in a line or a paragraph, because in this case one or more duplicate links will almost certainly appear needlessly on the viewer's screen.
 * However, note that duplicating an important link distant from a previous occurrence in an article may well be appropriate (but see the exception about dates, below).

And WP:CONTEXT sys:
 * What generally should not be linked: The same link multiple times, because redundant links clutter up the page and make future maintenance harder. It is not uncommon to repeat a link that had last appeared much earlier in the article, but there is hardly ever a reason to link the same term twice in the same section.

As far as linking "marriage", WP:CONTEXT says that it is generally incorrect to link plain English words. There is no likely source for confusion here, and all readers can reasonably be expected to understand what marriage means.

Finally, I do not accept that this overlinking should remain just because it is "standard". If the standard does not make sense and does not conform to the Manual of Style, then it should be changed. Ground Zero | t 17:54, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Since your complaint is about a bot generated section of the article, you should probably take it up on the bots talk page where User:Ram-Man has a chance of seeing it. Otherwise your changes are just going to get reverted the next time the bot comes through anyway. Personally I don't have a problem with it as is, currently those links are all redirects, but that doesn't mean they'll always stay that way.    Kmusser 18:37, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Or, as is also possible, if you change the section it will cause problems the next time the bot goes through, as it likely won't be programmed to look for modified versions such as the result of your changes. Nyttend 18:54, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Spanish Translation?
Hi! I am new! I visited Tiffin, Ohio as an exchange student in 1991. Right now I was just navigating on the Internet and found the Wikipedia info on Tiffin, Ohio. I see it is not in Spanish and, since I am a translator now, I would like to know how to contribute with the Spanish translation. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Population and ethnic distribution of Tiffin
Several recent edits have changed the population figure. The population figure is now not consistent throughout the article, varying from around 18,000 to 95,000 to over 195,000. Also the ethnic distributions have been edited to show significant changes. I don't have the local knowledge to post correct data. Is there anybody from Tiffin with the accurate figures?Everiverever (talk) 15:40, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I just noticed this problem myself. I am from Tiffin, OH, and the more accurate figure would be around 18k, certainly not 95k or 195k.  According to the United States Census Bureau, the figure is 18,135. - Justin Fuhrer (talk) 17:30, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Justin is correct. I was born and raised in Tiffin. Twice on the page the population is listed as >90,000. This is an error. (Possibly this is the entire population of Seneca County, but certainly not the city of Tiffin.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.30.140.103 (talk) 18:35, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Natives?
Some of the "Notable Natives" don't fit the Wiktionary definition of a "native", but in fact lived in Tiffin for only brief periods, such as Nate Washington (who was, according to his Wikipedia biography, only living in Tiffin to attend Tiffin University - he was born in Toledo, OH). Any thoughts? - Justin Fuhrer (talk) 17:32, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Picture
Is that picture even of Tiffin?? No way a city of 25,000 inhabitants has a skyline like that....
 * No wonder that you were suspicious: (1) 25,000 was vandalism; the population is really 18,000. (2) The image was a hoax.  See its deletion request on Commons — the photo is really the skyline of Melbourne, Victoria!  Nyttend (talk) 04:41, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

The picture needs to be changed. This is totally inappropriate for the Tiffin, Ohio article. This is supposed to be an unbiased article about Tiffin not bashing on the city and county and making snarky remarks about tearing down the former 1884 courthouse.

Jolly's
A point of interest in the city is Jolly's Drive-In, at 1630 West Market Street. This is their website. Does anyone think they can scrounge up enough information to include this on the content page? 18:43, 5 May 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.160.60 (talk)
