Talk:Elkhorn, Omaha, Nebraska

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think that mention should be made, here, or on Omaha's page about their unique ability to unilaterally annex municipalites under 10,000 persons. This is a Nebraska law that has enabled them to avoid the fates of such other midwestern cities such as Des Moines or St Louis where they get "boxed in" and can no longer grow while their tax base moves to the suburbs.

Inflammatory Anti-Omaha Section[edit]

Somebody has placed uncited, inflammatory material on this page. It has been deleted by users several times but then reverted by bots. Indeed it should be deleted as it doesn't meet sourcing requirements or NPOV. The only thing I saw there which could be improved that was not already in the article was a mention of an opinion poll from the residents of Elkhorn. If this can be cited and neutrally presented it would be ok, but I have no idea where the info came from. Alienmercy 17:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photo[edit]

I've again removed an 1867 photo of Elkhorn from this article. This is how the article appeared before I removed it. Note that text was sandwiched between the photo and the infobox, which is contrary to MOS:IMAGELOCATION. Since the photo was placed in a one-sentence section, it also forced the title of the next section to the right of the photo, which is also contrary to the principles of page layout and composition.

The editor who added the photo described it in an edit summary as "unique and necessary". Unique it may be, but "necessary" is overstating things. It wouldn't be at all inappropriate to include the photo in the article, were there a place to put it. Unfortunately, there isn't: the infobox takes up most of the article's right side, and a map of Omaha post-annexation occupies the rest. Since annexation takes up considerably more of the article than 19th-century history, it wouldn't be appropriate to delete the map and put the 1867 photo there. — Ammodramus (talk) 16:21, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Map attribute issue[edit]

I have come across this page from listing of this page under the category Pages using infobox settlement with unknown parameters. I would like to know whether the attribute |image_map be edited by someone. It is that parameter which causes the problem. I will be able to resolve the problem by replacing the dot with an equal to sign. But when that is done, it will show that the image does not exist. So my request is to just try if such an image can be found out or not. If it cannot be found out, just replace the full stop with an equal to sign.Adithyak1997 (talk) 15:01, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
