I removed this section as it seems to not have an NPOV. If you put it back, please site sources to back your claim. --Zizzybaluba 18:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC) History timeline: re install the history timeline, with revisions if you choose as some of the information is inaccurate and frivolous. Why take out the entire timeline instead of editing out the useless info? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.221.46.150 (talk) 17:58, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
The I-480 freeway did not open until 1974. The Police Officer who was killed was Sargeant Dennis Glivar, it was not a hostage situation but a shootout where Glivar was shot in the hallway of an apartment building. Eight people -not nine-died on august 8th 1976 when a tractor trailer ran into and over seven cars on Granger Rd hill. randazzo56 02:29, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Where as in 1960 they were: Polish American/common D.P.: 89% Slavs: 4% Italian/Spanish Islands: 5% Black/South American-Less than one per-cent
I did some edits to the history section, working with an anonymous editor. I removed the potentially damaging/libelous statements. The whole section needs a good deal more citations. Cephyr 02:40, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
More comments were removed, along with some corrections to the terrible spelling. I believe a citation is needed for the article references in the history section (regarding the toxicity of the materials in the landfill site). I did read it myself recently, but I don't have specifics. I believe it was the January 10th issue of Scene, but can't back that up. Regardless, much of the 'venom' was edited out of the statements. I have indicated which comments require citation. anonymous 9:41, 5 February 2007—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.9.5.134 (talk • contribs) 2007-02-05T16:01:12.

I removed the above two sections because they don't seem very encycleopedic ("Screams and body parts fly as the tractor trailor rolls over and crushes the flaming cars") sounds more like a Haunted Ohio book. And there's no citations. One of the dates are even followed by a question mark. I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm just saying I don't believe its something that belongs in an article on Garfield Heights the city. - A.J. (talk) 17:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Define "encyclopedic". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.241.145.76 (talk) 21:38, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Just becouse you dont feel something is "encycleopedic" doesnt mean those events dont have a place in history. Since when should only favorable or "nice" events be included in the history of the city? While these additions may seem harsh they did in fact take place. Since you take such an interest in Garfield Hts why not site these events and put them back in the article?Kaltenborn (talk) 23:08, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
To the timeline were scourced from various articles taken from the Cleveland Press and Garfield Hts Leader by the literary giant formerly known as "Kaltenborn" 66.72.192.85 (talk) 23:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Removed the section on fallen officers, why? next time try signing in Meanfrank (talk) 00:03, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
I did. It's not encyclopedic, cited to any independent sources, relevant, or appropriate for such an article. FYI, I removed it again, for the above reasons. Go and look at any big city's wiki page, (Cleveland, Detroit, take your pick) and you're not going to see a "fallen officers" section.192.5.109.49 (talk) 14:08, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Who are you, why not sign in? define "encyclopedic". Its a part of Garfield Hts history which makes it relevant. Its all a mater of public record. We are not concerned with other citys and their wikipages. Meanfrank (talk) 22:57, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Every Officer who lost his life deserves at least national fame, media attention and a statewide memorial as has been the case in all such tragedies. The circumstances surounding the deaths of the Officers is indicitive of the state of society at the time, no matter how static. Each death tells an intricate story and is an important part of the history of any city. To catagorize the deaths as common is to show ones self as a fool. How can you say a fact hasnt been cited when it was published in contemporary major and local newspapers? Fatalities are not a routine part of law enforcment. Busceda (talk) 02:09, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Although three Officers died you choose to recognize two, what does that tell us as to the state of your mind? Define "boosterish". These events are reported on regardless of the citys population. The heat comes from fools deleting known facts. These facts that you find questionable can be scourced through the Clevlena Plain Dealer and the defunct Garfield Hts Leader as well as the Garfield Hts Nieghborhood News. How can any article be "well documented" when capricious edits can be made based on the opinion of fools? Busceda (talk) 17:28, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
The information on Jeffry Lawrence walking away from the scene of the double homocide can be scourced through the Cleveland Plain Dealer as well as the Garfield Heights Leader. I put it back as some asshole calling himself "overthinker" chose to remove it previously Meanfrank (talk) 17:05, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
The older more explicite version can be scourced by those scources listed, I.E. The Garfield Hts Leader and the Cleveland Press. Busceda (talk) 03:42, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
The purchase of the ambulance can be cited through the Garfield Hts Historical Society, where proof of these events is for all to see.Busceda (talk) 00:17, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
The overwhelming majority of wiki city/ town pages have a demographics section -- income, race, age, percentage living below the poverty level, etc. It's pretty standard and VERY encyclopedic. Why is it missing from this wiki page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Norlns22 (talk • contribs) 11:15, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
I write a newsletter (it has not ads, I make no $ from it, it is paid for by me) for my Ward. I am a City Councilwoman. Can I cut and paste or reprint articles from Wikipedia into my newsletter? Do I need your permission to do so, and if I do, how do I get it. I think Wikipedia is a treasure trove of information regarding my community. Some of which will really interest my readers! Thank you - Nancy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.76.120.209 (talk) 16:14, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
You may not reprint articles. You do NOT have our permission. Now go find somethinge else to do.99.128.19.129 (talk) 01:14, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
No more Timeline:
I took out your timeline as it was grossly inaccurate and a total farce. The fact that it was left standing as long as it was speaks volumes as to wikipedias reputation as a joke. Your pseudo "editors" claim all statements must be cited, except, apparently, those statements and opinions you agree with or favor... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.28.136.253 (talk) 04:37, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
