New info on Lafayette

I added some new information to the Lafayette article, including a section for media, and a section for points of interest. -Cardozo 15:47, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Lists and a link farm

This article is becoming too list-oriented and full of external links.

  • "Wikipedia articles are not lists," except when the page starts off "List of..."
  • "Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links"

Beware sources

07-July-2007: In June 2007, there had been 1 source footnote in the article "

Louisiana census statistical areas" listing a table of the population counts. Such population articles in Wikipedia have the advantage of stabilizing data format, when population-demographic websites seem to change all the time; however, the formal population websites have the benefit of containing a vast amount of demographic data by household, race, origin, etc. Anyway, having source footnotes is good, but footnotes should be checked to spot out-of-date claims.

Lafayette and fiber optics

Would anyone like to pull from this and add to the article? The Advocate-Viridis 21:02, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I think it is relevant and should be added because the city is a notable participant in the municipal broadband debate. 99.175.87.54 (talk) 06:34, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Media

I suggest removing the Lafayette Grapevine item in the Media section. This site appears to produce no original content. If Lafayette Grapevine is worthy of listing on Wikipedia, why not every LiveJournal page or Facebook feed from Lafayette? This section should be for either professional media, or amateur media that has clearly demonstrated its ability to create content and draw an audience. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ThePhantomCopyEditor (talk • contribs) 16:17, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Media, lists, Fiber to the Home

I'm working on taking the sections with lists and making them into more of a paragraph form. I also agree that Lafayette Grapevine be removed, for the same reasons you cite. I've also added an article

FTTH project, and the struggles Lafayette had in getting it started. I'm not great, but if anybody would like to add more info, clean it up better, anything like that I'd really appreciate it. The FTTH project is a big deal, and it's made a buzz across the nation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcarriere (talk • contribs
