message: "artificial catfish"???  Well, duh....  If there are no complaints, (and I remember), I'll remove the word 'artificial'.  If I don't get to it, anyone else is free to do it.  Thanks.  Bunthorne 05:10, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

message: If someone wants to update the Industry section, the Paris- Henry County Chamber of Commerce is a good source of information.  http://www.paristnchamber.com/industry.htm  The previous source looked to be a web site that copies information from another source and never updates it.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by C Parish (talk • contribs) 21:47, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I have removed a few of the entries on the list of notable people. Those that have been removed, did also not establish a link to a Wikipedia article about the person or a group they played in. I left Vernon Jarret, he seems to achieve some notability, although he is not linked in the list. 
Please do not undo the changes. If you disagree please discuss the issue here.
What is notable is a difficult question in general but there is a good guideline if you are not sure. If they are not mentioned in a Wikipedia article they are probably not notable. In any case you can start an article about the subject.
If you think you, yourself, are notable ... well, you might be. In that case the best idea to avoid a conflict of interest is to wait until someone else unrelated to you adds you to the list. 
And: Please add references for your claims, otherwise the entries are virtually useless.
Thank you! doxTxob \ talk 00:19, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Why is this settlement called a city. It is small (<10,000 inhabitants), seems to have no special historical (e.g. city rights), administrative, or other (e.g. Cathedral) claims to the title city. Agreed it is county seat to Henrcy county, but that county with little over 30,000 inhabitants would in itself not be sufficient to lay claim to a single city. The bottomline is: Why isn't this settlement called town? Arnoutf (talk) 14:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Simply because it was incorporated under the name "City of Paris." See the official website. City of Paris, Tennessee website.  Frog47 (talk) 14:23, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I moved the following out of the article because it is not the kind of material that belongs in an encyclopedia article. More significantly, it appears to be copied from a newspaper, which would be a copyright violation. Some of the content belongs in the article, though, after rewriting. --Orlady (talk) 17:16, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

message: What do we think about adding a small section under Culture about the Helping Hand radio charity auction? From what I can gather it's an unusual practice, and it raises quite a lot of money for local charitable causes each year and involves the participation of a large portion of the town. I'm sure some background information about it could be found on the PI's website with a little searching. Wantsarevolution (talk) 16:56, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
