Adlai Stevenson
His name is linked to Adlai Stevenson, but that article is for AES II, who is only the most notable of 3, and there are 5 known to WP. Without a citation, Adlai E. Stevenson I seems somewhat more likely than Adlai Stevenson II (bcz owning distant vacation property was likelier for a politician of his age, and AES II's liberal intellectualism may have made such a thing feel to him like conspicuous consumption). Also note that of the other three who are not entertainers, all died about an generation or two ahead of him. I'm putting a cn tag on his name; if we can't come up with a source, perhaps the lk should go to Adlai Stevenson (disambiguation). --Jerzy•t 21:29, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've chgd the lk & left a note for the original editor, a 2-contrib IP from 2005. (See summary of my article edit today.) --Jerzy•t 17:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Communities
I do think the Communities section should resemble one at the Robeson page for the same reasons with regards to the meaningless legal distinction between "city", "town", and "village" in NC, the last of which is a uniquely popular term in this area of the state due to Moore County's and its communities' attempt to brand themselves as a quiet spa haven for retired people and professional golfers. "Largest village" as a label also seems somewhat paradoxical, since "village" in American English connotes a rather small settlement, not 17,000 people. It also sets a poor precedent; in a strictly literal sense, the "largest town" AKA the largest community which calls itself a "town" in Wake County would be the Town of Cary, while the largest community overall is the City of Raleigh by a wide margin (which we call "largest city", which makes some linguistic sense since people typically envision cities as larger communities). I think labeling the largest community in Moore County the "largest village" creates potential for confusion. -Indy beetle (talk) 06:58, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

 * @Indy beetle While I disagree, I respect your decision and "community" should stay. You have a good point about the word "village" and since you've done the most work on this article, you have the final say here.
 * On another note, I've noticed you have edited a lot of county articles in NC and was wondering if you were thinking of GA nominating them. If so, I could nominate one or two of them as my nomination(s) would be top of the category (I have no GA articles) and could reduce the wait time. I have no intention of taking credit for your work and I would make sure you were fully credited, but I understand why you would decline this idea. Keep me posted about what you decide; have a great day! DiscoA340 (talk) 14:31, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, there's no major rush as far as that is concerned, and right now I'm just moving around to try and get a solid baseline for some of these. Moore I certainly imagine could one day be GA due to the media attention it gets for golf resorts and retirees (and occasional power substation sabotage attacks, apparently), while Hoke may never get there. If you want to nominate one, I'll certainly stick around for the review process. It's worth familiarizing yourself with the GA process if you haven't already. Collaboration on GA noms is perfectly normal but I wouldn't want reviewers to think that this was some kind of proxy workaround, so it would be good for you to also be confident in handling som aspects of the nom as well. If you were to nominate one, I think Scotland County, North Carolina is in the best shape. -Indy beetle (talk) 08:55, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Indy beetle I have had some (unsuccessful) efforts with the GA process with Caswell County and Yanceyville, North Carolina. I'm not a complete outsider on the Scotland County article, so I don't believe people will make those accusations (though certainly something to keep in mind). Ultimately, it comes down to you, I'm happy to nominate and fix issues brought up in the review (same with the Robeson County GA review) but I don't want to inconvenience you in any way. But if you're good with it, I'll nominate Scotland County for review. Have a good day! DiscoA340 (talk) 13:00, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Need education content
There's next to nothing in this article about education — not just UNC, but also the local school systems. It's worth noting that Orange is unusual among NC counties for still having separate county and city school systems (Orange County Schools, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools). I don't think I'm up to it right now, having spent hours on the community-college articles, but I wanted to "put it out there." Lawikitejana 09:52, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Notable People
Do people whose only connection to Orange County is having attended UNC-CH belong in the County's "Notable People" section? It seems more appropriate for people who lived here outside that context; the link seems tenuous at best given the purpose of the article. A link to the list of UNC alumni page should be sufficient IMO. The Onondaga County, New York page, for example, doesn't list a bunch of famous people who attended Syracuse. Brad E.

Settlement type name
@ACase0000: I hope all is well. I think the word "municipality" is a good compromise here. Though in some cases, "community" might be a better word to use because there are counties where an unincorporated community (census-designated place) is the largest place in the county. As well as that, many counties have unincorporated communities which have official census counts (designated as census-designated places) and aren't just named areas, so using the word "community" might do better at showing that fact.

Archdale removal
Stop removing Archdale from the list of towns, Curps. If something is done by a sockpuppet of a persistent vandal that does not mean it is vandalism.Look at the edits first.

Well, at least that is resolved. Now reamke the pages for subdivisions and make the Piedmont Triad information up-to-date.

 * Don't mix vandalism edits with legitimate ones. If 95% of your edits are vandalism, they'll all get rolled back and people won't bother to individually research each one (although in this case I did bother to research Archdale, go figure).

North Carolina has 100 counties, and the state has a lot of large counties (including Wake County where the capital is). Robeson isn't that much larger than the rest of the state's larger counties. Elle Bee 14:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Notable people
I feel like most of these "Notable people of X place" lists are meandering cruft with an ill-defined scope and of little utility to the reader and do not enhance the understanding of a place. I see here you seem to have limited the list to people born in the county. Many other lists don't limit themselves to that. Lawrence McNeill and Margaret Modlin were born here, but did most of their notable work elsewhere. Richard M. Norment and Malcolm Buie Seawell were born elsewhere but much of their careers took place in Robeson. Why do we favor some over the other for inclusion? (I appreciate the simple criteria of place of birth for inclusion, but it makes for an odd balance of relevance) And at some point, if the county is large enough, a comprehensive list would be dealing with hundreds of people if not thousands of people, which I presume is why Los Angeles County, California does not have such a list. How does knowing that Modlin and McNeill popped out of a womb here enhance the reader's understanding of Robeson County? Why is it not good enough to simply keep that information on their own respective articles? The notable people who's stories are immediately relevant to the history of the county are mentioned in the History section (like Henry Berry Lowry). I know its standard practice for many of these county articles to have such list, but I find them utterly misguided and magnets for promotion of marginal characters (just look at the notable people list at Lumberton, North Carolina). -Indy beetle (talk) 08:39, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

 * @Indy beetle I understand and I'll remove most of the non-historical figures from the list. I don't want to inconvenience you and your work to get this article GA Listed. Also, how close do you think you are to reaching that goal for this article? Thanks and have a good day! DiscoA340 (talk) 22:50, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

 * I don't mean to cause too much a fuss about it, it's probably something which will have to be decided upon in a larger discussion. As for this article, I'm making good progress I think. I think the History, Law and Government, Healthcare, Economy, and Culture sections are mostly complete. I might update some of the stats in the Education section and have considered adding a little about crime and law enforcement, probably in the Government section. The main things now are rewriting the Demographics section and rounding out the Geography part. I might split off the highways into a sperate Transportation section and rewrite it in prose, such as at Cape May County, New Jersey. -Indy beetle (talk) 18:25, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Unincorporated communities
Does anyone else think that Price should be added onto the list of unincorporated communities? Cause I tried adding it and it was taken out. I still think it should be included since it has a Wikipedia page of its own and it says it is in Rockingham County.

With regards to Charles Watson-Wentworth
The sentence "People in North Carolina were still fond of [Wentworth] in the years following the independence of the United States" is indeed an odd one. I can consult the Heritage of Rockingham County book in the future to see if it offers some clarity on the issue. In my recollection, this statement is broadly true to historical fact. NCPedia states that Wentworth was "the British prime minister at the time of the repeal of the Stamp Act and a supporter of American Independence". I'm not sure the all the gritty details on his persuasion of the House of Commons to repeal the Stamp Act is really needed, but I'll look into it, though I doubt a blanket statement to the effect of the people of North Carolina broadly admired Charles of Wentworth is really warranted without some tweaking. -Indy beetle (talk) 10:05, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Per WP:EL the articles shouldn't have so many inline external links. Most are not really needed as they are not directly about the subject of the article. I have corrected, updated and deleted many here, but article still needs more work. Thank you in advance for any of your help. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 20:04, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Law and government section
In case some were wondering, I took out the ELs in section that related to the NC Constitution and NC Statutes when I expanded the section. These aren't really necessary since we already know that the county is within North Carolina. I'd only include something like that if, for some reason, the county didn't fall under that jurisdiction.

Secondly, I just wonder if the listing of law enforcement officials is really needed or notable. I could see including the Sheriff in the article since it is about the county, but do we need all the municipality LE listings? I'm going ahead and taking out the Livingstone College Campus Police listing. It's really not notable. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 20:04, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

The per capita income of Stokes County is not $55,200. It is $18,130. See the census page for the county: http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/37/37169.html

I made several changes in the Stokes page today. The per capita income figure of $23,581 is the latest figure available from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. By the way I've brought property for a retirement home in Stokes County, so I'm very familiar with the country.

I checked the website.You're wrong about the town per capitas.

Checked what web site? According the the Bureau or Economic Analysis (www.bea.gov), the per capital personal income for Stokes County in 2003 (the latest year for which the BEA has figures) is $23,581. --Daltoni 02:59, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I checked the Stokes County wensite. I am not sure about King and Walnut Cove but you are incredibly idioticly stupidly jerk-wrong about Danbury. You also are a jerk who gtes rid of the real per capitas. Danbury is not rich, jerks.

You clearly did not check the Stokes County web site. The Stokes County Web site gives the same 2003 BEA figure of $23,581 that you keep editing out. Please provide your source for what you call "the real per capitas," and if you are going to call someone a jerk would you please be kind enough to sign and date your comments? --Daltoni 20:23, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

No way it beat Davie County.

The BEA's figure for Davie County for the same year is $29,174. What are you trying to achieve? The BEA income figures are as authoritative and up to date as can be found. The $18,130 figure makes Stokes County look way poorer than it actually is. I believe the $18,130 figure must be from the early '90s. --Daltoni 29 June 2005 02:50 (UTC)

well what's the real per capita income for Surry County or Rockingham County or Caswell County or anything.

Unincorporated communities
We have expanded the list of unincorporated communities beyond the CDPs and a couple of other previously existing entries to include all of the PPLs in the USGS Geographic Names Information System. To my knowledge, Hollyview Forest-Highland Park, Elkin Valley, and North Elkin are the only PPLs not included, as these areas are either totally or almost totally within the corporate limits of Mount Airy or Elkin. These entries should be continuous projects as more users from the Surry area comb the books on local history and geography to provide more in depth descriptions. All contributions to expanding these entries would be most helpful. The information is out there, although it may be difficult to track down. --Naytchrboy 20:47, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Blevins Store & Jenkinstown
Blevins Store and Jenkinstown are not USGS ppls. Blevins Store is a "locale" and Jenkinstown is not listed at all. However, both of these appear on several local maps and their given placements have been stored in the geographic coordinates. --Naytchrboy 20:47, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Geographic Features
A list of the four major rivers is now on the Surry site. What about peaks/summits/mountains? Is there a standard form for listing and describing these features (elevation, location, etc)?

Any suggestions on what types of information should be included for a list of mountains on this page? --Naytchrboy 20:50, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You may want to correspond the peaks with the Sauratown Mountains article. I doubt there's any standard.

Orphaned references in Vance County, North Carolina
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Vance County, North Carolina's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "books.google.com": From African American:  From History of North Carolina: Albert Shaw, The American Monthly Review of Reviews, Vol.XXII, Jul-Dec 1900, p.274 From U.S. state: Aleksandar Pavković, Peter Radan, Creating New States: Theory and Practice of Secession, p. 222, Ashgate Publishing, 2007.

That is why I leave the explanation "Note: the US Census treats Hispanic/Latino as an ethnic category. This table excludes Latinos from the racial categories and assigns them to a separate category. Hispanics/Latinos may be of any race." in the heading. I am seeing a lot of editors who are assuming it means race and are making edits as such messing up the data i.e. racial data would include Latinos in each of the categories). It is best to keep it unhidden so as to avoid such unintentional but incorrect edits. cheers Patapsco913 (talk) 23:05, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I added a chart showing the true racial composition (which some well-meaning people will adjust the racial and ethnic chart as such). Patapsco913 (talk) 23:21, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I reverted your edit for failure to engage. You are the first person in my 11 years of editing to archive a comment on their talk page rather than respond? Patapsco913 (talk) 01:21, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I didn't think there was anything left to discuss but I can see it was an oversight on my behalf.
 * If you think the two charts are necessary, then they should stay, but I'm concerned about two things. In a section for the 2020 census, why is the 2010 column visible first? 2020 is the most recent count, so it should be first in the column. Lastly, I don't understand why the note can't be a hidden one? It is unsightly and takes up a lot of space in the chart. I can't comment on editor behavior but they shouldn't be editing official data from the 2020 census, but, even if they still did, they should also be able to see a hidden efn note (in source mode at least).
 * I also noticed that there is a slight typo in the note you've written. Usually, "US" is usually written as "U.S." and the word "Census" isn't capitalized unless it is written as the full name (United States Census Bureau).
 * Again, sorry for the issue. Thanks and have a great day! DiscoA340 (talk) 01:42, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Topographical map as a reference
Very puzzled. A topographical map is an excellent reference tool to understand terrain. What is wrong if added to a Geography section?

Is there any reason why the article has two separate sections about the county's climate? They both say basically the same thing. I would recommend deleting the second "Climate" section, as it simply repeats the information contained in the first Climate section earlier in the article, and is thus redundant. Just a thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.229.162 (talk) 04:31, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

removed section on ski sloes including ski sugar and ski beech. These two slopes are surrounding the town of Banner Elk in Avery County. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.82.209.33 (talk) 21:07, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Photos
No offense, but couldn't a better photo of the Kerr Scott Dam be used? The one in the article looks pretty "trashy". I would also think that some photos of Stone Mountain or other sites would be good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.229.162 (talk) 02:27, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Agree. I know I'm replying to an old comment, but I just changed the picture to another one that shows more of the lake and dam. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 03:50, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
