[edit] Merger with Tampa Bay
Someone with more Wikipedia experience than I have should merge this article with Tampa Bay. Art LaPella 18:17, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)
- Not any more. That was then, this is now. Art LaPella 19:51, September 4, 2005 (UTC)

- Just the same, I'm moving sections from the Tampa Bay article that would be a better fit here. A good rule of thumb I'm using is if it has to do with water, it should be at Tampa Bay. If it deals primarily (or exclusively) with land, this is the article for it. Someone should address the naval history of Tampa Bay at the bay article. There's not much there now that won't be merged over here in time, and yet I think a decent article about Tampa Bay (the estuary, that is) can still be written. -- JeffBillman (talk) 04:26, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Counties
Are Citrus, Hardee and Highlands officially part of the MSA? I'd seriously wonder about the last of those especially... - Aerobird
Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando counties comprise the MSA.Blaze33541 (talk) 01:42, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Populations
Where did those figures come from for city populations. Many of them are not correct Right off the bat I noticed some that were significantly smaller than the last census data.. Nolesrule 02:29, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- What are you referring to? The source for the populations of inhabited places should be the U.S. Census Bureau, and the cities I checked do indeed cite the Centsus Bureau, although they vary on which year's figures they use. -- Donald Albury 09:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Someone had put in population figures for individual cities. It has since been removed. Myu point that they were off was that for the city of Seminole in Pinellas County, the person put in a population of 2k, while it is in reality over 10k. There were other such errors, but all those figures were removed last week. Nolesrule 20:07, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- I reverted the edits of the anon due to the fact that the numbers were unsourced and mostly incorrect. --Moreau36 20:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Demographics
I merged this and other sections here from Tampa Bay, but these desperately need citations & other cleanup. Also, I'm not wild about the wikitables in the Demographics section, at least not as they are now. Would someone like to clean them up a bit, or remove them entirely, so they don't stick out like a sore thumb in the article? -- JeffBillman (talk) 04:26, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Created subpages
I created two new, temporary subpages for this article to contain info that I removed from the article at Tampa Bay. These are Tampa Bay Area/Industry and Tampa Bay Area/Education. Please help me in reviewing these subpages, adding sources, etc. so that we may include them in this article. Thank you. -- JeffBillman (talk) 16:01, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
