Graham87, I have explained why the crime statistics are relevant and have tried to edit the content of the section to satisfy your complaints. Why don't you explain why identifying a city as having a crime problem is an issue for you instead of continually removing the section? The section does not compare the city to others (your semi-valid initial point), other than a reference to that fact that the rate of some crimes is the highest. Florence has a crime problem and noting this via authoritative statistics seems worthwhile. I conceded your point regarding using Wiki articles as a metric for measuring someone of local importance (though I disagree). Perhaps you might concede that crime statistics for an area with a crime problem are relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.133.104 ( talk) 22:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

You're probably correct w.r.t. the notable folks, though I think a Wiki article is not a good measure for measuring someone of local importance. The crime statistics are very important to describing contemporary Florence. These statistics are readily easily verified on the FBI site and should remain. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.126.130.50 ( talk) 01:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC).
Considering that they've begun to attract a fair amount of attention, shouldn't the band Sequoyah Prep School be included somewhere in this article? I go to school in another part of the state, and I know several people who have not only heard of them, but they're fans. Just a suggestion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.211.92.241 ( talk) 23:00, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

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 insure 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.

What is with all of the opinions of "billing systems rife with errors..." and "a cafeteria where you can hear doctors conversing about their patients." Let's keep this fair and rational people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.219.133.241 ( talk) 19:25, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

==== City Logo ====
The logo on this page is incorrect and needs to be changed the official City of Florence logo does not have the accent leaf on it, and most do not use the City Seal in the logo. I have a copy of the logo, if some one is interested in helping me get this corrected. Thanks — Preceding

City of Florence Logo is incorrect please see City of Florence website above.
I have a copy of the correct logo if someone is interested in helping change it.
Thought editors here would be interested to know that this article has been mentioned (somewhat unfavorably) in a news story on scnow.com. Matthew (WMF) 01:13, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
I've looked into the "10th nationally" claim in this scnow.com article. Here is what the Wikipedia article said:
The sentence in question did not have a reference. But if you look at the FBI figures for 2010 cited earlier in the paragraph, the claim actually seems to check out – the property crime figure (as measured per 100,000 inhabitants) is indeed very high, and may well be the tenth-highest in that list (I would welcome someone double-checking, or perhaps there is a numbered list somewhere on the website I overlooked). Violent crime is high too, but the rate per 100,000 for violent crime is not in the top ten.
Of course, the Wikipedia paragraph had major errors, apart from the missing citation.
So there were some serious errors, but the city officials' core claim, that there is no conceivable measure by which Florence would place 10th nationally, seems to be wrong too. Neighborhoodscout.com gives Florence a 1% rating (meaning only 1% of US cities are less safe) and says, "With a crime rate of 98 per one thousand residents, Florence has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 10. Within South Carolina, more than 94% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Florence."
