Florida Atlantic

[edit]

I believe the satellite (north) campus for Florida Atlantic University is also located there.

The campus is located in Jupiter, which is north of Palm Beach Gardens. TheWanderingMind (talk) 17:12, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is located in Abacoa, which is a planned community in Jupiter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.48.190.131 (talk) 19:31, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!

Suggestion

[edit]

Just a suggestion. As someone who has lived in the southwest my entire life and only passed through Florida it would be helpful to have info on where Palm Beach Gardens is to major airports. I have to fly there and being unfamiliar with the locale it took me a while to figure out that Ft. Lauderdale is the place to fly into from the west coast. Under transportation there was just info about stuff that someone from the area might find useful, but for someone unfamiliar with the area it would be usefull to know where Palm Beach Gardens is near.--User:76.211.114.81

Suggestion taken, information added.Tom M. 12:17, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The closest airport is Palm Beach International (PBI) in West Palm Beach. The best way to get to Gardens is to take I-95 North. If traffic is good, it should take about 15 minutes to get there. TheWanderingMind (talk) 17:29, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CityHost411.com

[edit]

I removed all information related to CityHost411.com from this article. This article is currently featured as part of the promo video on CityHost411.com.

The information was originally inserted as part of a spam campaign by users 71.57.144.200, Claireuser, and Cityhost411. The articles they've created have all been speedily deleted per WP:CSD#G11, including: Cityhost411, CityHost411 Project, and Claire environment.

The references provided were links to this article which is "Powered by CityHost411.com" and features a prominent CityHost411.com ad at the top of the page.

If CityHost411.com is worth mentioning in this article, please reinsert it in a neutral manner consistent with its relevance to the city. Otherwise, watch to ensure that this article does not become an advertisement again.

Update: after my deletion was reverted, I've moved the CityHost411 info to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida#City services and removed multiple external links to CityHost411.com. This is a temporary compromise per discussion at User talk:Jkeene#CityHost411. I encourage other editors to review the circumstances and evaluate CityHost411's place on Wikipedia.

Geography

[edit]

Removed the coordinate from this section, in accordance with the WikiProject Cities guideline, because it is already in the infobox. Standardized on 1 decimal for the area numbers, see MoS (Decimal points). Brought the units in line with the infobox and MoS (Unit symbols). What's left is still repetitive of the infobox, so we need more content for this section (and references, of course). See WikiProject Cities for ideas.

Ameribank

[edit]

The article states that Ameribank has its headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens. I am proposing to remove all mention of this, as I am unable to find a verifiable source to confirm that it has ever been true. (The statement appears on many web sites, but this just seems to be where content has been copied from Wikipedia without attribution.) It does seem that West Virginia-based Ameribank considered relocating its headquarters about the time it was planning to open a Palm Beach Gardens branch in 2003.[1] But this office remained a branch until it closed in 2008.[2] Then Ameribank as a whole was shut down.[3] This leaves us with nothing notable to say about the economic impact of Ameribank on Palm Beach Gardens.

Economy / Sports and Recreation

[edit]

I am proposing to create two new sections, 'Economy' and 'Sports and Recreation', as described in the WikiProject Cities guideline. I would take the content currently in the last paragraph of 'History' and split it between these new sections. I suggest that this would be a more logical home than 'History'. Although the new sections would be very short, my hope is that this would encourage editors to write more content for them, with references. Wdchk (talk) 00:25, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wackenhut

[edit]

Wackenhut is now known as G4S, and the company's North American headquarters has relocated to Jupiter.[4] I therefore plan to remove Wackenhut when I write the 'Economy' section proposed above. Wdchk (talk) 23:09, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

[edit]

The city has a very interesting history. The article does a great job of recounting a great deal of it.

I think there may be some Florida historians out there who could add a little more info though... Maybe a bit more about commercial development along PGA Blvd. and the transformation from a rural area into a retail hub/upscale commercial district.  :)

Thanks! - Melsis Sarai Lopez — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melsis.sarai.lopez (talk • contribs) 14:15, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 3 external links on Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

References needed

[edit]

I've again reverted an incomplete population update in this article. An unreferenced population figure was added to the history table without any reference; and the referenced 2019 estimate figure removed. This left the article with a visible referencing error. Further, the remaining population numbers in the prose were left as-is, as were density and population numbers in the infobox.

Changes to wikipedia need to be referenced to be verifiable. -- Mikeblas (talk) 14:37, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed! I'm seeing a lot of incomplete attempts to update population figures. Most of those attempts are in good faith, but, it is not as simple as many assume. - Donald Albury 16:12, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
