Edits

• I did some general cleanup of the article to make it a little easier to read. I also updated the stats from the current Fact Sheet.

EMS section is completed. I still need to go back and correct some dates, and clean up the formatting a little bit. Firerescuelieut 03:35, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Removals

• I removed the previous "fire station" photo of the trucks at Station 28 because it didn't actually show a fire station, just the trucks (which were already shown in the three photos above it). I replaced them with two photos that were representative of typical PBCFR fire stations.

Photos

Let's try to limit the number of pictures in this article. Wikipedia is not a photo gallery and this page has a lot of unnecessary ones. Cheers, Mazeau (talk) 15:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Harassment topic

would a copy of the Court submitted complaint suffice to include the allegations of sexual harassment? Fjaeger1313 (talk) 18:50, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Probably not, since the issue is not the verifiability of the existence of the allegation, but rather that it doesn't meet our inclusion criteria for negative events involving a non-notable living person. There are several policies that this runs afoul of.

• Subjects notable only for one event are typically not covered, especially when the subject is not a high-profile individual (local public servants do not meet that bar) nor when the event is not significant.
• Subjects accused of a crime are presumed innocent until convicted by a court of law. Accusations, investigations, arrests and charges do not amount to a conviction. For individuals who are not public figures (which this is not) editors must "seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed or is accused of having committed a crime, unless a conviction has been secured for that crime."
• Persons who are relatively unknown -- many Wikipedia articles contain material on people who are not well known, regardless of whether they are notable enough for their own article. In such cases, we are expected to exercise restraint and include only material relevant to the person's notability, focusing on high-quality secondary sources.

Here, we have no evidence of any notability or public notoriety for the subject, who is accused but not convicted of a crime, which has received insufficient coverage from secondary sources of quality, and who would not be otherwise notable outside of the event in question. For all these reasons, we should not include this material. It's appropriate for a newspaper, but Wikipedia is not the news. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 23:45, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
