Talk:Tuscaloosa, Alabama

message: Notre Dame only recognizes 11 National Championships, not 12 as stated in this article. Changed the sentence, rewording in the spirit of the change is encouraged. Kchambers (talk) 12:13, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I see a stray bracket at the top of the article... couldn't fix it myself after looking at it for a while. Can anyone else take a look?

replies: text: Most likely, the problem arose when somebody edited the citybox template and messed something up.  It's fixed now. --Ttownfeen 03:06, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It kinda bothers me though. I looked on a couple other pages and none of them had any problems, but at least it's fixed. --OEP 03:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I suggest you look at the GIS site for the City of Tuscaloosa at . Or you can look at the screenshot I took of the GIS site: .The roads around MB are in the city limits but the plant itself is actually in Tuscaloosa County. I was incorrect in stating that it was in Vance, but it is also not in Tuscaloosa. Jasgrider 18:09, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I stand corrected.  My apologies. --Ttownfeen 02:12, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

text: That bit about "part of Germany" is quite an overstatement. The FTZ status allows deferment of some customs duties to facilitate the manufacturing process, but, as the Board's FAQ states, "FTZ sites and facilities remain within the jurisdiction of local, state or federal governments or agencies." --Dystopos (talk) 22:29, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mercedes Benz is not in the city limits 

message: After noticing a suspicious change to the population (increased by just 5), I looked up the cited pop data. The lead paragraph says, "population of 83,052 (2006 U.S. Census Bureau Estimate)." But the cited Estimate is not for 2006; it's for 2005. And the CSV file referred to lists the pop. as 81,358, not 83,052.
So, what's going on here? What's the real number? --Jeremy Butler 11:23, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Population discrepancy 

message: I see "capstone" every where in Tuscaloosa, but no one can tell me anything aboutit, or what it means??  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.178.238.252 (talk) 01:29, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  A question about "capstone" 

message: It may be worthwhile to look at addressing the "In popular culture" section with reference to Wikipedia:"In popular culture" articles. Sooner or later someone will slap a big ugly banner template up there. --Dystopos (talk) 03:05, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: * OK, I moved the songs to List_of_songs_about_Alabama#Songs_about_Tuscaloosa and nixed the other mentions, which don't seem to be important to an article about the city. If someone disagrees we can look for consensus on what to add back in, and how. --Dystopos (talk) 01:09, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Popular culture

message: RollTide13 added this section to the article.  I don't know about you, but it seems a bit redundant, not to mention unencyclopedic, to me.  What are you thoughts?  RollTide13? --Ttownfeen (talk) 21:25, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  General Information 

message: Present tense changed to past, as if the city has ceased to exist after destructive tornado. This user has been banned, but the vandalism remains. I tried to revert it, but could only revert back one step. Could someone with Reversion powers complete the task? Thank you. Furfish (talk) 20:52, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately too many intervening changes had taken place, so I did my best with manually fixing the article.  If you see anything I missed, please feel free to go ahead and tweak. --Elonka 23:44, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please fix vandalism (post-tornado) 

message: This section is bare bones and needs contributions. 
There should also be external links added to (legit and carefully checked out) emergency aid sites. 
Perhaps there should also be a new Wikipedia article on the relief efforts.

thread_title: Help Needed with Tornado Section

message: This article is very long and reads more like an eager press release than an encyclopedia article. Among the excess of information, I was not able to find an explanation of the origin of Tuscaloosa's name - which I, and possibly most of the world, have heard for the first time after the April 2011 tornadoes. You have my best wishes for the recovery.
The history section boasts a flattering nickname from last year, scenery shots for a film of no significance, and recent regulations about bicycle taxis. The economy section lists about 20 shopping centres, none of which are explained to be notable. "Cornerstone" and "anchoring" sound like promotional language to me. Tuscaloosa's universities have their own articles, and could be adequately described in one paragraph (or sentence) each, as on the more encyclopaedic articles for the cities of Adelaide, Calgary, and Leeds. Why, I'll find the Strip pulsating with night life, and I now know where to find professors mingling with students, and which bar is smoke free. Is this is a travel guide? 
I look forward to seeing a more graceful and informative article serving Tuscaloosa. --203.213.232.176 (talk) 13:42, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Ann Arbor, Michigan looks like a good example article to look to. --Ttownfeen (talk) 02:05, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

text: I too think it's a great article.  However we should always strive for improvement. --Ttownfeen (talk) 05:39, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Issues with language and content 

message: Can someone experienced in Wikipedia images help? There should be some pictures taken from the air. I have seen some that are incredible but don't know enough about Wikipedia image guidelines.

thread_title: Arial Pictures of Devastation Needed

message: I hate to sound nitpicky, but should Northport be mentioned in the cityscape section? I understand that everyone considers Northport to be apart of Tuscaloosa, including myself, but I don't believe its population or total area size is factored into the city of Tuscaloosa's numbers...
Can anyone clarify this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by RhYno12 (talk • contribs) 00:15, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it should not in my opinion. --Ttownfeen (talk) 01:25, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

text: Northport is certainly part of the metro area or micropolitan area but it is distinct in every possible 
respect. JodyB talk 13:30, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Concerning Northport in the cityscape listing

message: I'd like to revise the whole climate section.  I like the current information that is presented, and I would like to include all of it's information.  However, I feel that there is additional information (especially flooding, drought, heat, fog, mild winter, etc...) that should be explained.  The entire climate section looks like a blob; the temperature/precip figure looks awful, and I hope anyone who is capable will pursue fixing it.  
If anyone has objections, please comment. AlaGuy (talk) 06:13, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

message: If it was changed in 1901 (or 1900), you can say it was changed at the start of the century (depending on when you count centuries as starting). If it changed kinda gradually, then say that. And perhaps mention a couple of significant stages in the process,  or at least hint at the order of magnitude of the change-process’s length. I don’t remember what vague wording I replaced it with, but it was better than pretending to have conveyed some verifiable info, when we don’t have anything with a WP:RS.
