Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
TheWikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.— Precedingunsigned comment added byRambot (talk •contribs) 22:17, 26 July 2003
The County Commisioner, in July 2005, banned recognition of gay pride events by county government with minimal discussion (seventy two second to be pricise). The commissioners voted 5-to-1 to abstain from acknowledging, promoting or participating in gay pride recognition and events.
The Florida Library Association announced July 21 that its executive board had passed a resolution by electronic vote not to hold any official meetings in Hillsborough County until commissioners rescind the policy.
The County government has also been a subject to various racial discrimination suits.
Is there any reason for the picture on the bottom of the page showing the "entering hillsborough county" sign on the Skyway bridge? It seems an odd choice because the only part of the county you can get in to that way is over the water. That bridge goes to/from Pinellas and Manatee county. You only enter Hillsborough because there's a shipping lane under the bridge which is part of the county.
I note on the county map that the 30 CDPs are all outlined there. I think it would be a big plus for the article if we could get the image to note each CDP--just a simple number in each block, tied in to a number on the list of CDPs. I could do the changes in photoshop and repost the image, but I'd be guessing at about half of the CDPs. Anybody know which CDP goes where?Thehappysmith22:46, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
File:Hillsborough County Fl Seal.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used underfair use but there is noexplanation or rationale as to why its use inthis Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to theboilerplate 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 withfair use.
Please go tothe image description page and edit it to include afair use rationale. Using one of the templates atWikipedia: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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described oncriteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at theMedia copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot22:35, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I just removed a batch of unincorporated areas that had a notation "part of _________", which referenced a CDP listed in the previous section. There is absolutely no reason to have them listed twice, especially since most of the names of the communities appeared in the CDP.Horologium(talk)20:37, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The article states that Hilsborough County is names after the the Earl of Hillsborough in England. The Earl of Hillsborough was a peerage in Ireland, as opposed to Hillsborough (Sheffield) in England. Therefore i assume the article is incorrect... any thoughts?Bucktrout23:59, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I added the voter registration section as it was missing. For anyone who is unfamiliar with it, it is seen on almost every page about a county. I would like that someone could calculate the percentages and do the party colors. It would be good too to also add third parties if anyone could find them.— Precedingunsigned comment added bySkim127 (talk •contribs)21:15, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I check pages listed inCategory:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content fororphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some ofHillsborough County, Florida's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct forthis article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Census":
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not.AnomieBOT⚡15:24, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
