Double Coodinates

I cannot figure out how to get rid of the double coordinates at the top of the page without also getting rid of the info box. Any ideas? Illinois2011 02:42, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fix bud. It was the map it down at the bottom that overlays when we create the geobox in the article. I would rather have the geobox than the map it.--Kranar drogin 02:55, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Malicious Editing

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The first section reads "Bunch of Douchbags." Douchbags is spelled incorrectly. This should be fixed and the page should be locked to avoid future editing by people from surrounding areas like Belleville, Granite City, Collinsville or any other bottom feeder cesspool that happens to take offense to the ambrosia sipping residents of the distinguished town of Edwardsville. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.21.16.149 (talk) 19:35, 18 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hmm. I wonder where they get that attitude Mr. Ambrosia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.252.233.244 (talk) 16:54, 7 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

It appears that the Comprehensive Weather Site link is broken. I received 403 errors from every computer I tried on the SIUE Campus Network. I have replaced the link with Weather Underground's Edwardsville page, which reports weather from a similar weather station in the area.

Edwardsville Not Third Oldest City

edit
Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I have removed the inaccurate claim that Edwardsville is the third oldest city in Illinois. Despite some sources claiming as such (many of which originate in Edwardsville itself), any sort of list of towns in Illinois organized by the year they were first established has Edwardsville far lower than third. Here is such a list of known towns:

  1. Cahokia mound civilization: circa 900 AD (some may argue that town requires it to be a European settlement, but I would be remiss to not mention it)[1]
  2. Peoria: 1680 [2]
  3. Cahokia: 1699 (here I’m referring to the French settlement)[3]
  4. Kaskaskia: 1703[4]
  5. Prairie du Rocher: 1722[5]
  6. Prairie du Pont: 1760 (today Dupo)[6]
  7. Bellefontaine: 1782 (today Waterloo)[7]
  8. New Design: 1786 (today part of Waterloo)[8]
  9. Eagle: 1780s (today Columbia)[9]
  10. Turkey Hill: 1795 (today part of Belleville)[10]

This list may not even be exhaustive. Most of them are in the Metro East region, since that is the history I am most familiar with. In addition, Belleville, Alton, and Illinoistown (today East St. Louis) were all established around the same time as Edwardsville, and it depends on what you count as its starting date (when it was first settled, when the town plan was drawn, when it was incorporated).

Regardless though, there are clearly more than two towns that are older than Edwardsville.Bosterm (talk) 17:46, 25 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
