Parma's safety

The article says, "See the history section of this article for possible reasons for this decline," but I don't really see any relevant information in the history section, unless the reason for the decline is political scandals and sagging power lines. --Birdhombre 14:46, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

The city blowed away thousands of dollars on the Witch Hunt. The police cancelled DARE, have not replaced the police dog, and have less than 100 officers, even thoug the FBI said that Parma should have 165 officers to adequately protect a city of its size. The city has lost more officers, including ranking officers, than it has replaced. Thus, the facts are that the services and abilities and number of officers have decreased over the past few years and one would have to think that these things collectively do not help. Best, --24.154.173.243 01:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

recent changes

I've recently deleted much of the unsourced information per WP:ATT, though I left some of the stuff that is seemingly verifiable. I also removed the more non-notable sections, especially the sections on police chiefs, and the section on the police investigations, neither of which is sourced reliably, nor encyclopedic or notable. I also removed the current events tag at the top: a city cannot be a current event.

My advice is if you want to include the section on the police investigations, with reliable sources, that should be it's own article, which you COULD have a current event tag on. At this point however, it doesn't have enough reliable sources to be includable. ⇒ SWATJester 22:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I'll move the current event tag to the right place. Best, --Wikipedian, Historian, and Friend? 23:05, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

semiprotection

Due to IP address vandalism in this article, I have semiprotected the article for 1 week. After 1 week this protection will automatically expire. If for some reason it does not, or if you are an IP address user or otherwise prevented from constructively editing this page, please leave a message on my talk page and I will temporarily remove the protection to allow you to edit. ⇒ SWATJester 22:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Probably not necessary as in just a few moments, I was able to find all kinds of references to pretty much everything under dispute online. You and the anonymous people seemed to quick to revert when some quick web searches seems to resolve everything and even uncovers some interesting new information. Heck, I had all but forgotten about that water crisis that accompanied the black out and was surprised it wasn't included, because I recall the TV news calling it the "worst water crisis" in Cuyahoga County's history! Cheers! --Wikipedian, Historian, and Friend? 23:27, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Please finish the following and restore to this article as I found this to be very useful. Thank you. --172.163.239.44 02:06, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Proposed addition to education section

It might be worth mentioning that John Muir Elementary School, a very old school in Parma, caught on fire at one point within the past 20 years and has since agressively remodelled the school and its grounds. I'm not aware of any other school fires in the city and its remodelling is consistent with other major remodelling projects, such as the ongoing Greening of Padua. I don't remember the exact dates and what all has been done, but were someone willing to contact the school or local newspapers, I'm sure the information is out there and again this was a noteworthy event for the city and its educational history. --164.107.223.217 00:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Possible big news about city government sitting on investigation until after yet another tax passes?

Hello! There’s fairly widespread media attention this week to the possibility that the mayor’s administration may have tried covering up or keeping hush about some internal police investigation until after the police levy passed in an election. Maybe, 164, Wizardman, Swatjester, or Wikipedian, can do something with the below links. I don’t think the sex allegations is the real news, because if you look at the forums and stuff where actual residents react, they seem far more incensed about the crap being known well in advance of the levy, but kept secret, especially because as Americans who believe in innocent until proven guilty, I don’t think we should assume the allegations are true when indictments haven’t even happened yet, but it does seem pretty well factual that higher ups were aware of this for like a month and it is conveniently made news after the election? --172.162.183.107 16:10, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure of the encyclopedic value of this, as you seemed shaky, too other than perhaps the whole city hall tension continuing. What do others think? --164.107.223.217 22:10, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Hm, this is probably abotu the same notability as that whole witch hunt thingy.--Wizardman 14:53, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I say wait and see how it plays out. I think in indictments with a grand jury are planned for some time this week, so we'll see if it becomes a bigger news story or if just fades away. I agree though, to avoid another edit dispute on this page, it would probably be best that if anyone decides to do anything with this it be one of the administrators like Wizardman or SwatJster. Happy Memorial Day! --164.107.223.217 18:37, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
