[edit] Barrels of Hay?

I would like to see a new picture. I, being from Ames, feel that it doesn't represent Ames at all. flockofpidgeons 24:24 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

What do you think represents Ames well? I can go take a picture of it. —Ben Brockert (42) UE News 00:32, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)

Some picture of downtown, or the University

[edit] Corresponding Articles

This article in Spanish, Galician, Dutch, and Portugese are Ames, Spain, not Ames, Iowa.

The "th" article I wasn't able to determine. But all the other current articles are about Ames, Iowa. Guess someone removed the others... --Tim4christ17 01:41, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photos

Since this is a community project, what photos would the other contributing users like to see on the page? I like the one of Main Street, and I think one taken from the Skybox at Legends would be a great addition. Wingman1331 21:39, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] People

Should the people list contain fictional characters (e.g., Kate Austen)? - PsyberS (talk) 06:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

My guess would be no. If there's a fictional character who has Ames relevance sufficient to be mentioned in the article - and I can't think of how that would be the case - it should be mentioned in the text of the article, not the people list. --Tim4christ17 ^talk 08:26, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
