Incorrect 2020 Demographics

The 2020 column of the "Demographic profile" table shows a source from 2012 that has no mention of 2020. The percentages are also considerably off. For example, a quick search of Census Bureau data shows Jacksonville's 2020 non-hispanic white population as a plurality (47.8%), not a majority as in the table (51.2%). On a related note, is there any site-wide project in the works to update all of the 2010 and 2000 info that dominates demographics sections of US city, county, etc. pages to 2020? 2600:1700:1608:12B0:9C5B:2F09:C8F0:E85A (talk) 21:49, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Second largest city by area in the lower 48

Article claims this is the largest as of 2009 when in fact, as of Jan 1, 2009 the city of Tribune Kansas is larger. 73.231.99.19 (talk) 06:14, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The area of Tribune, Kansas, is less than one square mile. Largoplazo (talk) 11:25, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should I add "Da Bangem" or "Bangem" on the nicknames list?

Even though there isn't any news sources that uses it, it has been used several times like Reddit and Urban Dictionary to refer to Jacksonville. Should I throw it in the list anyways? Majonezeman (talk) 00:01, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No. Those aren't reliable sources. Largoplazo (talk) 00:18, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neglected

Much of the Jacksonville article has become neglected with old photos, information that is no longer relevant, information that is unnecessary and information with zero citations. We have to do better. With that said, I will be reworking the entire article overtime. --Excel23 (talk) 21:24, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Party membership of city council members

I noticed that all of the city council members have a D or R after their names in the infobox, but no sources are cited, and at least some of the members do not have party affiliation listed on their pages on the city's website. Do we really need to have the party affiliations of these people who do not have an article in Wikipedia listed in the infobox? Donald Albury 17:43, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
