This whole article reads like it was written by someone at the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. I am not disputing the facts but it should be written more like an encylopedia. For instance you just need to state the Texas Rangers play in Arlington, not that they are a valuable asset. If they are an asset then why? Why would you say the teams play with much success. Just state the names of the teams, IF you must state them at all. 99.53.171.95 ( talk) 05:34, 22 February 2009 (UTC)eric
And why does the name of the town state "Home of Chris"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.164.41.130 ( talk) 16:15, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The comment about voters finding funding for sports stadia instead of public transportation is not appropriate here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.13.218.133 ( talk) 03:14, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
When was it named? It was founded in 1875, which is 45 years before Alexandria County, Virginia adopted the name Arlington County. Did it go by a different name at some point? - VJ 05:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't want to be a bad guy here, but the article looks a little ridiculous with an entire section devoted to a local gem and mineral club. No sources are given for the information on the club, or for the club's notability. If we start adding sections to this article for every club in Arlington, we're gonna have a real big article real quick. I'm not going to risk a 3RR, but I will revert this unless solid sources are provided to show that this club is notable for some reason. Casey Abell 12:33, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Image:CowboysNS-Day.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"While Butler Elementry stands proud because it has had exemplry peformence and the best staff and faculty."
Is a "shout out" to your elementary school really appropriate? And if it is, wouldn't your school look better if you used proper spelling and grammar? 67.79.195.201 ( talk) 22:30, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
I think more images of skyline are needed for 50th largest city of US. -- Extra999 ( talk) 13:44, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Do we have to refer to the city as a "Suburb of Fort Worth"? Not to slight Fort Worth in any way (it's a beautiful, clean city with a wonderful rich history), but Arlington is a completely separate entity with it's own history dating back to the 1840's when Fort Worth was still an army post. Referring to us as a suburb makes us sound like an afterthought bedroom community for Fort Worth.
We're not just a suburb, folks.

The article states that Arlington, Texas is the largest city in the world without public transportation. This is not true anymore, now that Arlington has the Metro ArlingtonXpress.
The back and forth over the public transportation language left this portion of the article disjointed and failed to discuss what is probably the most known fact about Arlington on the national stage, which is its lack of public transportation. My edits are an attempt to correct certain inaccuracies in the previous section and give a nod to this part of the city's history in a NPOV manner. Chad.newsome ( talk) 09:53, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi. I'm going through all the US Cities (as per List of United States cities by population) in an effort to provide some uniformity in structure. Anyone have an issue with me restructuring this article as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline. I won't be changing any content, merely the order. Occasionally, I will also move a picture just to clean up spacing issues. I've already gone through the top 20 or so on the above list, if you'd like to see how they turned out. Thoughts?

Was just passing through this page and moticed this. There are more exterior shots of the statium on this page then on the actual wiki page for AT&T Stadium. Where are the skyline shots of Arlington...Goodle shows me a beatiful city, yet this page does not. Is Arlington really only known for having that stadium? Compared to other cities that have notable buildinsg say Toronto, the CN Tower only appears 3 times (usually as part of the skyline)... but the Toronto page itself has 3 times as many pictures to balance it out. Same with Sydney, the Opera House only appears twice (one in skyline). What's the deal with this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.194.127.36 ( talk) 15:24, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
Updated "GM Credit" to " GM Financial.' "GM Credit" is an incorrect title, and not a DBA of General Motors Financial Company, Inc. The cited reference, Arlington's 2013 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report," lists the tenth largest employer in the city as "AmeriCredit." "Founded in 1992 as AmeriCredit Corp., the company was acquired by GM in October 2010 and renamed General Motors Financial Company, Inc. Following the approval of the deal by AmeriCredit shareholders, GM renamed the company "GM Financial" on Oct. 1, 2010." The corrected title auto-linked the appropriate wiki page.
