[edit] List of Mayors

The List of Mayors is in need of some work. I am sure that Charles B. Magnuson was not Mayor from 1967 - 1997. Also Sam Teresi was listed as mayor from 1997 to present. He first took office in 2000. There does not seem to be a lot of information regarding this subject available online. I may have some other info that will make this more accurate, but would appreciate any help in getting this right. Wheasley 12:51, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Found some information for Steven Carlson. The Ahlstrom entry is based on the second Carlson ref, which shows him as mayor elect. Wheasley 13:49, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Found some further information regarding Carolyn Seymour. The date listed in the ref was the election date, I believe she would have been sworn in early the following year.

Speaking about election dates/date of swearing in, I am guessing that many of the dates are based on election dates, not date of swearing in. More research to be done. Wheasley 14:07, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Can someone unlink the Mayor Kimball entry; He was an English teacher at Jamestown High at the time and unlikely to be the same person in the other article. 172.135.104.32 10:56, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedians

I am from Jamestown and would like to do my best to edit this page. Are there any other Wikipedians with registered accounts that are from Jamestown or are knowledgeable about it? My pride in my home town is strong, but I'm short on free time to research and improve this article. Garvin Talk 06:54, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm also from Jamestown, and I make the occasional small edit when I notice something that needs changed. SKG —Preceding comment was added at 13:39, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
