Untitled[edit]

I am removing "This town did not get a Walmart Supercenter until 2005" because I do not think it is relevant. Please let me know if you feel otherwise. 03:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdk2k11 (talk • contribs)

I just fixed some typos in the education section, moved the info on UMHB into the education section as it is a university and I changed the wording in the intro to the BISD list to accommodate this. Finally, I removed "Ben Fulcher" from the list of notables as there is no listed evidence of his significance.-- 04:25, 30 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdk2k11 (talk • contribs)

One last thing for now, I think that something about the 4th of July parade should be included since it is in its 85th year and was previously named by USA Today as one of the top 10 places to "Fly your patriotic colors"-- 04:33, 30 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdk2k11 (talk • contribs)

The Woman's Commonwealth and Martha McWhirter[edit]

I think The Woman's Commonwealth deserves its own section. It is a very significant part of Belton history. Additionally, Martha McWhirter, the founder of The Woman's Commonwealth, should be listed in the Notable people section. Unless anyone objects, I will work on this and will also work on creating a Wikipedia article about McWhirter and about The Woman's Commonwealth that can be linked to the Belton article.AnaSoc (talk) 19:37, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fake Flag[edit]

The city flag displayed in the infobox seems to be merely a product of someone's imagination. The image Beltonflag.jpg was uploaded to Wikicommons in 2017 without any documentation other than a link to another image of the flag. I can find no mention of a flag on the city's official website (beltontexas.gov), but I do see a photograph of a large wall decoration in the city council chamber, which is probably what somebody mistook for the "city flag": see it here.

The image should be deleted from the infobox, and deleted from Wikicommons, too. But I'm pleasantly retired and it's not worth my time on a sunny fall day to spend several hours getting such things discussed, reviewed, and removed - just posting this information here in case somebody else wants to have a go at removing this visual lie from Wikipedia.
