Talk:Waverly, Alabama

message: If you haven't dined at the Yellowhammer it's most likely due to the fact you have no idea it exists. That's not uncommon. Having travelled 280E for the last thirty years and following the progress, imagine my surprise to find out that someone had placed a 5 star resturant in of all places, Waverly Alabama. What a treat. If you live in Alexander City, Dadeville, Auburn or Opelika or on planet earth you simply must arrange to visit and eat . Yellowhammer is in the fouth ever Ford dealership and is the most unique place I've ever eaten. Thanks to all and we will be back.

---
I can't find anything to back up the statement that a "real" city is 50,000 people or more.  In the United States, city vs. town is up to the State.  The US Census Bureau lists Arab as a city (http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/GCTTable?_bm=y&-context=gct&-ds_name=DEC_2000_SF1_U&-mt_name=DEC_2000_SF1_U_GCTPH1_ST2&-tree_id=4001&-redoLog=false&-_caller=geoselect&-geo_id=04000US01&-format=ST-7) so one can reasonably assume that it falls under the definition of a city in the state of Alabama.  Claiming it's "just a town" seems to border on NPOV.  The comments about it being "merely a vagarity of the Alabama constitution" is irrelevant to the article.  The section on Government covers the description of why Arab is a city.  As such I am removing the portion of the text that refers to this city as being "just a town".

text: The history of this article and many other "Fort" articles is that they began from an import of census place information which included the forts as a designated census place within each fort's respective state. If you look at the category :Category:United States Army posts you'll see many other still listed with states just as Fort Rucker. Because the Census Bureau believes they are places as well as military installations, the current title is certainly correct from that viewpoint. However, you might bring up the discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history for a consistent representation of US military base titles. AUTiger ʃ talk/work 23:58, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

The section also assumes that the Creek town of Talisi is identical with the city of Tallassee. This is almost certainly not true, and must be proved, not just asserted. As with Tuskegee, Sylacauga, and other Alabama towns, the name of a destroyed Creek town was usually assigned to a new town established on a different site by white settlers — usually many miles from the Creek namesake. — ℜob C. alias ÀLAROB 20:31, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
