the history section is copied verbatim from the brecksville website, except for the end. Someone from the Historical Society should sit down and add some true Brecksville history.
This is unecessary:
Brecksville is a city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and is a suburb of Cleveland in the Northeast Ohio Region, the 15th largest Combined Statistical Area in the United States. The city's population was 13,656 at the 2010 census
It is more than sufficient to say that Brecksville is in Cuyahoga County, Ohio and it is a suburb of the Greater Cleveland area. Besides the various redundancies, mentioning the rank of the CMA and/or NEO (as the article is not about the GC Area or Cleveland, and as Ohio has already been mentioned in the first sentence) are both totally unnecessary and make for poor composition. And whatever credentials you want to cite, it is still bad writing. Please refrain from reversing the edits. And assuming that there is an agenda. The only 'agenda' I have as a WP editor is to see articles that are both coherently and cohesively written. Ryecatcher773 ( talk) 18:35, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
This also reads like a marketing page, not an encyclopedia article. Sections in the transportation section should be rewritten —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.222.236.25 ( talk) 18:53, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
I took a large axe to the "Parks and recreation" section because, at the very least, WP:PROMO. There is much more promotional language still in the article though, for example "Along with academic excellence" and "Abundant entertainment is just a short distance away for residents of Brecksville."

I'm starting this new section as a place to discuss the restoration of material removed (mostly by) @ Gråbergs Gråa Sång: and by me. I think the excisions were sound, but of course one or both of us might've gone too far, so if that may be the case let's discuss it. Thanks. JohnInDC ( talk) 20:48, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Sfo1980 How does this [1] source support "Brecksville has a solid, diversified economy"? I´m refering to this [2] edit. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 09:39, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Further to the point: 'Diversified' is just that: diverse. The list you've cited illustrates an almost exclusively service-based economy. Economic diversity includes a broader balance of services, technology and manfacturing. Diversified economies are more typically found in large cities, not suburbs or cities with a population of less than 15,000 people. Ryecatcher773 ( talk) 17:19, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Can we remove the census results section for 2010 since there is an identical and updated section for 2020? Any results a user might want in depth before the most recent cycle they can find by following the citations. What is the SOP for census results on most population center pages? -- CLEhobbit ( talk) 19:56, 20 February 2024 (UTC)CLEhobbit
Is there a real need to have the year 2000 census results? There already is a chart that shows historical population.

Maybe a useful source. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 15:27, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
Gråbergs Gråa Sång, with whom I am this morning pleasantly tag-teaming whipping the sources to this section into shape, rightly removed John O'Brien (novelist) from the list of notables. But I found this May 2010 article in Crain's Cleveland Business, which I would generally regard as a WP:RS, and reinstated it with that source.
But soft! The line in that article (Mr. O'Brien grew up in Brecksville and Lakewood, and he graduated from Lakewood High School in 1978) reads suspiciously like the line in O'Brien's Wikipedia article as it existed in May 2010 when the Crain's article was published (He grew up in Brecksville and Lakewood Ohio and graduated from Lakewood High School in 1978). The assertion in the Wikipedia article was itself unsourced in May 2010, and remains so today, although it's now flagged with a {{ fact}} tag.
I suspect this might be an example of citogenesis. The Crain's article is not the usual business-oriented journalism that is the publication's normal fare. It could very well be that, for a fluff piece like this, its author relied on Wikipedia.
I'll leave it in for the moment as I mull it over, but my feelings won't be hurt if anyone yanks it. Any other thoughts? TJRC ( talk) 17:28, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
TJRC and anyone interested, shouldn't it be just "Brecksville"? Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 07:05, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
