Talk:Tampa, Florida/to do
Some sections of the Tampa article are a mess and need to be cleaned up and improved. Here are some of the things that need to be done:
- Education section needs improvements:
the whole section on Education (Institutions of Higher Learning, High schools, and Middle schools) is in list form and should be moved to a separate articlethe school section needs to be expanded
- There are other sections of the article that are in list form and need to be converted into sentence format (prose)
The History of Tampa, Florida needs to be expanded along with pictures of Tampa in the early days and today.- Improve History section on the main Tampa article, kinda like Seattle's History section on its main article with Founding, Major events, and Economic history
For help, go to Seattle or Ann Arbor to check out their articles or History sections. Seattle, Washington and Ann Arbor, Michigan are Featured articles, and we can do the same on Tampa, Florida's article as well.
- Both the History of Tampa, Florida and the history section of this article need info about the last 50 years or so, as there's almost nothing written about that time period in either entry.
- Notwithstanding some of the comments above, the History section needs to be trimmed drastically. Check out FA status city articles (e.g. Cleveland, Houston, Boston, etc.). The deleted information should be on the History of Tampa article.
- Info in the Geology Section, needs to be expanded.
- Since their is an entire section on McDill AFB, I would delete the paragraph in the Economy section.
- The Government section needs to be much more substantial.
- There is a brief mention of the park system in the Culture section, but you might want to create a separate level II "Parks & Recreation section per Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline.
- You also might want to expand the level III Tourism section. This is a major tourist destination.
