This entry is loaded down with unsourced trivia, directory listings, municipal building listings, and other issues pretty much at odds with WP:NOT. There are very little actual sources, and even less meets WP:V. My attempts at adding cleanup templates where needed, and removing the non-encyclopedic content have been reverted for the second time in as many tries to help. This article should be gold-starred as an example of how not to write up Wikipedia entries for cities. -> Btl ( talk) 04:21, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Just an FYI John Mayer didn't grow up in Bridgeport; he grew up in Fairfield. He attended Fairfield High School (now known as Fairfield Warde High School) and worked at a Mobil Station in Fairfield. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.253.5 ( talk) 07:50, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

I would not consider the judicial marshals as county law enforcement for several reasons: They are not POST certified and their main responsibilities are the courts (not enforcing laws).
Thoughts?

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 Bridgeport, Connecticut'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.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 21:41, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
This looks like it could provide some more details on the 20th century, which many people reading up on Bridgeport's history are probably interested in:
Some of the images may be out of copyright as well. — LlywelynII 04:46, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Lima16 ( talk · contribs) has been temporarily blocked from editing this article, for persistent disruption, including addition of unsourced and promotional content, poorly formatted images and messing up the infobox. It appears that a lot of their edits going back to early July are constructive, so I don't recommend wholesale reversion, but the article could use more eyes, and hopefully Lima16 will feel free to engage here, rather than edit war.
See [3] for the thread at ANI. This is the conversation there to date, which gives further context:
As the admin who carried out the administrative actions related to this, I'm happy to help out with any discussion. I don't actually want to block anyone, but I have already and I will as needed.

For context : https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Bridgeport,_Connecticut&diff=prev&oldid=1139672420 User:Magnolia677 claims I am being disruptive with my persistent editing in making the Bridgeport, CT infobox more like New York City and claims we "must come to a consensus to make such a change". I disagree with this as New York City's infobox was changed by User:Xeror (please see https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=New_York_City&oldid=1111507444 | This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Xeror (talk | contribs) at 09:48, 21 September 2022 (Better way to caption photo montage; Keep only shape in maplink for simplicity). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.).
My interactive map was also removed without any good reason. Let's use this talk page to discuss if we want to revert to my edits that appear similar to NYC's infobox captions and interactive map, but I do not agree with User:Magnolia677's over-exertion of his/her power here.
I apologize, it seems there was some slight discussion on the topic for new york city's stylistic choices on their infobox captions :
Regardless, I do not agree with the removal of my interactive maps. They did not appear to be disruptive in any way. I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on this though.

You wrote in your reversion: "Removed non-notable list of churches; there is nothing at WP:USCITIES that supports the addition. Please discuss before adding back"
I just looked over WP:USCITIES, both visually and in a text editor using a search function for keywords. I see no mention of places of worship at all. Religion is mentioned only as a demographic. There is nothing - that I can see - that prohibits the addition and therefore there is nothing that supports the removal. Notability or non-notability with regards to places of worship is not defined anywhere in WP:USCITIES. Furthermore, I would submit that a synagogue and a church sharing the same building - one of the largest places of worship in the city - is notable.
