Article Improvement

edit

Is there any way we can improve this article? I'm going to try to look up some more facts and statistics about this Tampa suburb. --CanesOL79 04:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

RIP Removed

edit

I'm sorry, but I removed a useless R.I.P. to some person I assume to have lived in Spring Hill, Florida. --CanesOL79 00:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

It's ok. I once put a little inside joke on this page with my friend Kurt Moclaire. He was amazed that it was on Wikipedia. I explained you could edit any page as you please. A few weeks later he was killed in a motorcycle accident. So I just thought it appropriate to change it. I knew it would be taken off as vandalism sometime, though. We both grew up in this town. Rest in peace. - Bryan

I don't know if you still live here, but a lot has changed in the past few years. It's bigger, more developed. One of the fastest growing places in the whole country.--CanesOL79 15:04, 23 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

How is an RIP useless? Thats pretty cold. -K-

A RIP is useless because this is an encyclopedia, not a message board or personal website. RIPs can go on a website or something like that, not an encyclopedia. The guy who posted it and I have already talked and we understand each other, so it's all good. The thing is, though, you CAN'T do that on this website, it's uncalled for. Oh, and sign your comments using four tildes. --CanesOL79 17:18, 22 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Saw a new website- [1]

A couple problems with this statement

edit

The Mackle Brothers sold many of the properties and land in the area though intense advertising though the 1980s till the late 1990s to people in the New York and New Jersey areas. Which is why even today a large portion of people living in Spring Hill are from those areas.

There are two problems with this statement. One, it lacks citation. Two, the word through was misspelled. Now I'm not going necessarily deny the Mackle Brothers were/are a big real estate company. The problem is there is nothing proving that people from NY/NJ were exclusively buying it. There are plenty of people from everywhere in Spring Hill. They shouldn't be ignored. So the places people are from shouldn't be mentioned. I'll cut the statement off at intense advertising. And I'll fix the spelling error. Tom65.32.185.72 (talk) 17:36, 9 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

There are many dead links in the Reference List on this page that need cleaning up; I would do it myself but I haven't figured out yet how/where to edit the Reference List; still new to this and I don't want to F anything up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sequence Helio (talkcontribs) 03:30, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

Empty Homes??

edit

Seems like there is more to this town that is not being said. Article says 32% of homes ae empty. That is a LARGE number. Why is that the case?147.0.222.71 (talk) 04:51, 18 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for pointing that out. The article has the correct number of housing units (mistakenly called "households"), but the vacancy rate is wrong - it was actually 12.1% in 2010. I don't have time to clean this section up at the moment but will come back to it soon. --Ken Gallager (talk) 20:00, 29 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
All set. --Ken Gallager (talk) 14:35, 1 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
