Talk:Tupelo, Mississippi

message: This article needs to be organized. Right now it reads like a list of random facts. --Liface 23:36, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Although most of the information here is useful and should be retained, I don't like the format.  It looks too much like a list of miscellany.  
I've made some edits and added a little more info about the 1936 tornado, including new sources.  I'm not sure this bit shouldn't be moved to the "History" section of the article, but I'll leave it where it is for now since it certainly did have an impact on the city's culture, much like Katrina had on New Orleans.  Anyone else have thoughts about this?  
Should this entire section be re-written, at least slightly, to conform to a more text-book like discussion of the city's culture and attractions instead of a "fun facts" format?  Berberry (talk) 14:48, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I waited a few days and nobody raised any objections, so I moved the paragraph about the tornado to the history section.  I still think the 'Culture & Attractions' section needs a bit of work, including a complete re-formatting, but I'll leave that for later. Berberry (talk) 16:11, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

message: This article reads like it was written by the Tupelo Chamber of Commerce.
:12-September-2006:  The text includes much more than either the City of Tupelo or the Visitor's Bureau webpages, but there are a lot of events needing sources with citations.  I have added about 10 citation footnote references, but there are many more needed.  Overall, it is a remarkable amount of information, just needs many sources.  I haven't found anything not true, yet.  -Wikid77 03:57, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: This article is formatted as a list, and clearly is intended to promote the city. As stated by a user above, "it reads like it was written by the Tupelo Chamber of Commerce." Geogene (talk) 23:55, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV

message: Tupelo is the location of the AFA headquarters. It's an organization that promotes conservative Christian values and works against the "homosexual agenda" and what it perceives as a liberal bias in the main stream media. They're known for boycotting major corporations such as McDonald's, Pepsi and Coca-Cola for advancing the "gay agenda". Is this something that should be included in the article? 24.150.38.210 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 17:05, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There are numerous small and non-notable businesses mentioned in the article, I think AFA would fit in since their WP article says they have 200 radio affiliates. I'd rather not stir that pot but I think it would make it less of a peacock page. Geogene (talk) 00:08, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The strongest tornado to hit the Tupelo area since 1950 was an F4 in Shannon on April 29, 1963. I don't see how this would be relevant however, so I won't include it in the article.--Kevjgav (talk) 04:03, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

message: I am currently working on a better version to include information on Tupelo Christian Preparatory School. I think it is notable to mention TCPS since it is located nearly in Tupelo and has Tupelo in the school name. ConnorOD33 (talk) 16:39, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
