message: Why is this prominent part of Tacoma's history and ongoing troubles not mentioned at all?  Just because the little enclave in Tacoma where the smelter sat was separately incorporated?  Dicklyon (talk) 05:07, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. WP:SNOW closure, as with any proposed move that goes against WP:USPLACE. (closed by non-admin page mover) feminist (talk) 16:29, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Tacoma, Washington →  – The page  already redirects here, so the present title seems like unnecessary disambiguation. The city seems a likely primary topic based on both long-term significance and usage in published sources: according to William Bright, the name comes from a Native American word for Mount Rainier, of which the city in Washington is the namesake; other U.S. places derive their name from this original usage. The first few pages of GBooks search results for "Tacoma" are predominantly about the city. Similar titles in Wikipedia include , , , etc. Sangdeboeuf (talk) 05:02, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

The ACP is a reliable source so why is it being removed? It is currently more accurate than the 2010 census numbers.Patapsco913 (talk) 22:18, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

text: The captions need to specify that these are ACS estimates, separate from the decennial census, and should be prose-only to match the rest of the section. SounderBruce 19:15, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

to read:
* "A  port city, it is situated along Washington's Puget Sound..."
If it's a city, it's probably urban.  Also, how big is "mid-sized"?  Kind of unencyclopedic..."mid-sized". The input of others would be appreciated. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:10, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: has been the language on the page since as early as April 2006. The change, with the edit summary , was clearly made in error. Size, of course, is not objective. 15 feet is 15 feet. One block is one block. A city with 200,000 residents is not a city of 1,000,000 residents. KidAd • SPEAK 23:32, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mid-sized urban port city 

message: Hello everybody, I am requesting that Tacoma should not redirect to this city, but to Toyota Tacoma. See here the page view stats in the past 30 days: the city received 36,610 views, while the car received 50,352 views! Additionally, I would like to prove my point with a search browser. If you may, please search up “Tacoma” and see if you get results about the car or the city; it is clear that Tacoma has gained more attention than the city. Now this isn’t a move to change Toyota Tacoma into Tacoma, this is just a friendly redirect change. Thanks for your attention, and have a great rest of your day.
