Move Baconsfield Park section?

Beaconsfield Park is listed as an example of Macon in popular culture. I am not sure if that classification makes sense; I'm not sure it should be included in the entry on Macon (although I am not opposed to it if other's think it should be(.. I have tried to remove it; however, this change was reversed. If people think it is important for the Wikipedia entry on Macon, please create an entry for it. I personally think it would make the most sense as its own entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.109.35.76 (talk) 15:12, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why a Supreme Court case would be defined as Popular Culture. I definitely don't agree that the section should be removed from the page entirely, as it is supported with numerous sources, but not enough for it's own article. I could support it being moved to the History section or the Parks and Rec section of this page though. Light-jet pilot (talk) 00:05, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's been almost a year with no other input, so I went ahead and moved the section. Light-jet pilot (talk) 21:51, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Map error?

I think the map on the top right (below the seal) shows the position of the county within the state of Georgia, but the caption for that map says "Location within Bibb County" Adamruben (talk) 19:21, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-Is Macon really a major hub of inland trade of shipping? The Ocmulgee River is too shallow, narrow, and has too much sediment-buildup for such activities, and there are no shipping ports that i know of, nor have i seen any ships. --[[User:Matrixboy84|Matrixboy84]] 14:54, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

-Has Macon had any? Could someone add it?
-:What about old history. Where is the mention of the city name derived from the French city? [[User:Migdejong|Migdejong]] 01:08, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
-::Actually, the name of the city comes from Senator Nathaniel Macon, as the article explains. Several other cities and counties in the US are also named for Macon, who was quite a big deal in the early republic. The name of the French city Mâcon is coincidence. Hope this helps! --[[User:SuperNova|SuperNova]] |[[User_talk:SuperNova|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/SuperNova|C]]| 08:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

-We can upgrade this article by inserting references/citations for new info. This may be particularly important for phrases using the words "black" or "white" which may be potentially inflammatory. I don't doubt the truth of the phrase regarding migration, but we need solid evidence, outside our own observations, to support this.[[User:Student7|Student7]] 18:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

-:I removed all that. It was poorly written, and just not really accurate. I appreciate your effort in asking for a citation, but it sounded to me like someone wanted to make a "Here's how I see it..." post using Wikipedia, so I wouldn't hold my breath on a reference. I'm sure one could find reliable sources to attest to some form of white flight, but until said source is produced -- as part of an encyclopedia-style piece of writing -- that block of text should just stay out. --[[User:SuperNova|SuperNova]] |[[User_talk:SuperNova|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/SuperNova|C]]| 09:08, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

-We currently have articles on various cities and towns. Also on counties. If this new list is either for "metropolitan area" or "cities abutting Macon", I don't understand it's purpose. Let those cities/towns describe '''themselves'''. I agree that usually MSP articles start taking credit for outlying suburbs, but maybe then, the section should be renamed.
