Thank you for your feedback. Can we move the milling sentence (that is already written) to the top. Seems like a major part of Minneapolis. Trying to come to a comprise here. I appreciate your help making productive edits. Thank you ~~ [[User:Gooob|Gooob]] ([[User talk:Gooob|talk]]) 16:37, 7 November 2021 (UTC) |

Hey, I usually edit political articles but got a notification about this and read through this convo and the editor’s edits and it seems like most of that editor’s edits look like undue weight to me so I would not add what they wrote at all. but I feel like there are two things they mentioned that could be worth to add based on reading this convo and edits so I added them to the article. I feel like this is a done convo. |

I have left a note on the editor’s talk page to tell him about his unconstructive edits. |

George Floyd
Should the comments on George Floyd be in its own section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anastacio21 (talk • contribs) 19:56, 21 April 2021 (UTC) Anastacio21 (talk) 20:06, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- We now have content related to George Floyd in three sections. It is undeniably important, but there is no need for three separate (and to some degree repetitious) discussions. Kablammo (talk) 12:59, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
- Kablammo, I undid the most recent addition. If you had something else in mind please holler. Thanks. -SusanLesch (talk) 20:12, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- Maybe you would edit the even more recent addition to the lead. I have no objection to its being there, only to innaccurate wording. -SusanLesch (talk) 13:33, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

We should not have George Floyd on the top of the page. It does not define the city the same way 9/11 doesn’t define New York City so much so that it’s on the top of the page Themightytouch (talk) 22:36, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Themightytouch, I disagree. There's nothing wrong with it. Also I just noticed that the assassination of Medgar Evers is at the top of Mississippi. -SusanLesch (talk) 02:23, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
Help fixing old refs
Hi. We have a request to clean up old links to the Internet Archive per WP:LINKROT. Your help would be great. -SusanLesch (talk) 15:34, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
Why has the article's lead section been made so short?
Ever since this page has started being redesigned, I guess because of some featured article review, it has BY FAR the smallest lead section of any major American city's Wikipedia article. Look at New York City, Chicago, Cleveland, Nashville. Even Worcester, Massachusetts has a larger one now. Why??? Is this somehow considered ideal? The article now looks woefully sparse compared to basically any other American city Wikipedia article, and it makes the edit about George Floyd (which seems to me to be highlighted only as a result of recency bias) stick out like a sore thumb. Please, can someone explain the decisions to make the article look the way it does now? 67.220.6.236 (talk) 03:06, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- Greetings, IP. Right now the lead is longer than when the article was promoted to FA. I think SandyGeorgia asked us to expand the lead during her recent review. A paragraph I wrote was vetted before adding but it didn't last. So why don't you write a paragraph? -SusanLesch (talk) 15:56, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
Additions
Hi, a few things missing from this article. Maybe someone will pitch in?
- Owamni is open Done
- Herbivorous Butcher, vegan butchershop Done
- tunnel collapse at St. Anthony Falls in 1869
Thank you. -SusanLesch (talk) 14:32, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
Flags
Greetings, Ealdgyth. Thank you for removing flags for sister cities. They did seem to be decorative. Could you please explain though why you made this edit? MOS:INFOBOXFLAG says: Human geographic articles – for example settlements and administrative subdivisions – may have flags of the country and first-level administrative subdivision in infoboxes.
This article is a human geographic article. What harm do the flag of the country and state do? -SusanLesch (talk) 03:17, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
Introduction
Hello fellow Wikipedians. There has been consensus between some editors about editing the introduction to this article. The slight addition would read as follows:
Minneapolis (/ˌmɪniˈæpəlɪs/ (About this soundlisten)) is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Minnesota and the seat of Hennepin County.[6] Minneapolis is located around Saint Anthony Falls on the Mississippi River. The city, once dubbed the "flour milling capital of the world", was the industrial center of the Upper Midwest from the 1880s until about the 1930s.[7] Despite a significant shift away from industrial activity, Minneapolis still remains Minnesota’s major economic and cultural center. The city has one of the nation's best park systems,[8] with thirteen lakes, wetlands, woodlands, creeks and waterfalls, many connected by parkways in the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway.
It has been sourced and approved by several other editors, but to come to a larger consensus please state any changes to the following statement. There has also been a strong consensus in the past about expanding the introduction and this is proposal to do so.
Thank you ~~Gooob
- User:Gooob, you wrote here six seconds before I did. There is no consensus for your version. -SusanLesch (talk) 15:32, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Hello user: SusanLesch! Any changes you have? I have talked with other editors to write this. Trying to get consensus here! ~~ Gooob (talk) 15:39, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- No. I much prefer the version we have. "Other editors" have not commented here. Please stop your disruptive editing. -SusanLesch (talk) 16:31, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Sudden interest
Greetings. We have three new editors with a sudden interest in Minneapolis: User:JesseeV3, User:Gooob, User:Marshens. Frankly, this city has been through enough already. None of these editors even tried to reach consensus here on the talk page to make their changes. Inaccurate rewording of this long-standing article will be reverted. -SusanLesch (talk) 15:27, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Hello user:SusanLesch! I agree with your statements. I can not speak for the other editors you mentioned, but I have a place in the talk page consensus about an edit I have been think of! Please add changes if you have some! Thank you! ~~Gooob Gooob (talk) 15:30, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
