Education

I'm nost sure why Nowimnthing is uninterested in including all of the schools in W. Lafayette. Clearly they are alocated within the city limits. http://www.city.west-lafayette.in.us/community/education.html

Also, I I've editted the text about the W.Lafayette schools for clarity. It seem unimportant the distinction between those schools. --Ricardisimo 13:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Because the county schools are outside the city limits. They have WL addresses, but so does everything on the North West Side of the County. The taxpayers in that area pay taxes to Tippecanoe County, not WL. The schools are owned and operated by the county not the city of WL. All the county schools are already listed at Tippecanoe County, Indiana, no need to duplicate that list here. What makes the most sense is organizing the schools the same way they are organized by taxes. We would be greatly misleading someone is they saw our article and thought they could move to West Lafayette and have their choice of schools from our list. City and tax boundaries are much more rigid than postal addresses.

From your own link Below are other public schools and colleges in the West Lafayette area

In that section they even list Ivy Tech which is 10 miles away on the other side of Lafayette. The first section is the important one, the second and third section are for surrounding areas as it says.

Here is a map of the WL city limits (in green.) The county schools are not shown, but if you mapquest them you will see that they are all to the West of Purdue University (gold on the map.)

Notable Residents and Natives

I don't agree with the recent inclusion of Purdue Alumni on here. A better list already exists at List of Purdue University people. Their inclusion here might confuse people into thinking they are natives when in fact they spent 4 years or less here. For example Drew Brees is from Texas and Neil Armstrong is from Ohio. If no one objects I will remove them and maybe we can just post a link to the notable Purdue people list from here. Nowimnthing 14:51, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
