Talk:Shamrock, Texas

Merger of City and District Articles

Oppose. Under Texas law, school district boundaries do not necessarily coincide with city or county boundaries. Also, the two are separate legal entities with separately elected officials. 160.147.240.6 (talk) 19:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Being separate legal entities with separately elected officials isn't a reason not to merge. The merge was proposed as this is a very small town with a very small school district. The district article will likely remain a stub and if AfDed would end up being merged anyway. AnmaFinotera (talk) 20:23, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Many McLean students go to school in the Shamrock school district. Oppose. 70.253.74.91 (talk) 19:25, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

What's your point there? It is still the Shamrock school district. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 20:49, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Nice Job!

I'd like to say that you guys did a nice job on the Shamrock page. Keep up the good work! 76.113.99.153 (talk) 02:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks :) Hoping to add more history and stuff when I can look in some of our local sources since there isn't much online about the city. AnmaFinotera (talk) 02:46, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Radio Station

I agree with AnmaFinotera on her removal of the radio station website, while it may be appropriate to mention the radio station, that linked site looks like a conspiracy site. Dayewalker (talk) 18:34, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

There is no evidence it is even legally licensed station, which is another reason it doesn't get mentioned at all. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 18:51, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Copied from the vandalizing IP's talk page[1] (since he immediately removed it):

This document confirms that the equipment formerly transmitting as KBKH is no longer authorized by the FCC to do so as of October 25, 2007, as convicted felon Terry Keith Hammond is no longer licensed to operate it.   — Jeff G. ツ 19:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

After looking this over and seeing the IPs other contributions, I'll agree with AnmaFinotera whole-heartedly. If the station isn't notable enough to have a Wikipedia page, don't list it here. If it is, only link to that page, not the conspiracy site. Dayewalker (talk) 04:34, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

The Shamrock police are highway robbers

Shamrock police stake out that section of old highway 66 looking for people to shake down for money. If you have car trouble and pull over or look like someone they don’t like, they will haul you in and extort money from you. Or, they may simply take your things, tell you to shut up and send you on your way. It’s legendary and interesting until it happens to you. It’s interesting to note how that particular corrupt police force isn’t getting defunded. 69.247.66.110 (talk) 03:36, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
