message: I can't find anything that shows a connection between him and Monroe.  He was born in New Orleans, a lot of sites say he was born in Monroe but they got their information from...an old(incorrect) wiki edit.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.107.51.219 (talk) 03:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Nobody finds the fact that the city has a major university located in it of any note? I realize University of Louisiana Monroe has its own entry, but couldn't you say ULM is there, was founded on such and such date, and has so many students?98.19.144.219 (talk) 14:45, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello,
The image sub-titled "Location of Monroe in Louisiana, within United States" shows Monroe on the lower-west side of the state, which is incorrect. Monroe is located roughly 200 miles northeast of that location. 
Thanks,

message: The infobox claims the "native name" of Monroe is Monroe de Louisiane.  How can that be?  James Monroe died 19 years after Louisiana joined the Union, and French was not an official language of the US.  Magnolia677 (talk) 10:01, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
