Talk:Palm Coast, Florida

Garfield character used in marketing Palm Coast

In 1985, ITT Community Development Corporation made the decision and agreement to utilize Garfield, the cartoon cat in massive marketing campaign across Florida.

More than 130 billboards were splashed across the state with Garfield wearing a variety of shirts & saying "Live the Good Life in Palm Coast." In addition to the billboards, print ads were distributed and sent in key areas across the nation. Along with billboards, printed ads, & tee shirts, ITT proudly gave a Garfield telephone whose eyes would open when the phone was answered, to every customer that purchased property in Palm Coast, Florida.

Unreferenced article

What is the procedure when an article is almost completely without references to support its claims? This seems to be the case here. I tried finding a source for the first City Manager but everything seemed to lead back to this very text. Gustav Benedictis (talk) 10:46, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

In this specific case, you can add Template:More citations needed to the top of the article. If an article has no sources referenced at all, you can add Template:Unsourced. There are versions of those templates for sections, as well. Wikipedia:Template index will lead you (eventually) to all kinds of useful templates. (The two templates mentioned above can be found in Wikipedia:Template index/Sources of articles.) More generally, if you have the time and energy, search for sources that can be used to improve the article. Those templates have a line at the bottom suggesting places to search on-line. In many cases, books published by established, reputable publishers are good sources. If you have access to a decent library, they may have such books, or can get them for you through inter-library loans. I suspect there are few useful books covering Palm Coast, however, as it is a relatively new community. If you do not have the time for an extensive search for sources about the city, don't worry about it. We are all volunteers, and do what we can. And, thank you for taking the time to try improve this article. - Donald Albury 17:27, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the invitation! I did find a few references for the background and founding and am sorting through them to add over the next few days. Gustav Benedictis (talk) 10:01, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Have fun! - Donald Albury 22:57, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Here's one which looks promising [1] Gustav Benedictis (talk) 14:31, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

it's kind of marginal as a reliable source, but I would use it if nothing better is available. Such publications are often just one step away from someone's reminiscences, and I've often found that such local sources may disagree on details, but then, they often are all we have. If such sources cite other sources, then all the better. - Donald Albury 19:37, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

I agree that it's not an academic source (though journalists often don't cite their sources either) but it was difficult to easily, meaning google a.k.a. lazily, find sources for the history of Palm Coast. It's signed and dated at least which is more than can be said for a great many references on Wikipedia. I'll keep poking around. Gustav Benedictis (talk) 04:07, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Culture

Is there any culture in Palm Coast, Florida? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 03:25, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

No lmao. I've lived here since 2011 and it's completely dead in every way imaginable, full of old people waiting to die getting in the way of the youth. Smartful2014 (talk) 07:16, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
