Talk:Knox County, Tennessee

message: If no one has any objections, I'll be getting rid of the entire government controversies section.  It clearly violates WP:UNDUE, and appears to be more of a journalistic endeavor than material suitable for an encyclopedia article.  Bms4880 (talk) 21:55, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No issues here.  Maybe it'd be useful to have a brief synopsis of the controversy? nf utvol (talk) 02:58, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not on this particular article, but a separate Wikipedia article covering Knox County government might be a good topic for discussion. Sidatio (talk) 14:01, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Violation of WP:UNDUE

message: Why isn't there anything on the antebellum years? Reconstruction, or 20th century changes to economy?  I've noticed this in other places. At the state levels, too, there is a tendency to jump from founding to the Civil War, where many people like to write about the battles. There was much else going on in society that influenced the aftermath of the war. Since people in EAst TN did subsistence farming, how long were they able to support themselves on that?  When did industry start?  These are elements that should be included. --Parkwells 18:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm wondering if we should use a photograph of the City-County building instead of the Knox County Courthouse.  The City-County building is now technically the courthouse.  Bms4880 (talk) 16:13, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Should there be page protection for this article? There are at least five times recently where incorrect info was added about who the current mayor is. David O. Johnson (talk) 04:53, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page protection? 

message: I'm reinstating my edits to the KSCO Killings section since the section is NOT news as the activities in question are 1 and 3 years old and the tone I used is factual and neutral. All my assertions are backed by reliable local sources and the same sort of information about historical police killings is recorded elsewhere on Wikipedia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by EastTNPoliceStories (talk • contribs) 15:56, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , first off, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. please stop, read more on the wikipedia polices like WP:NEWS. and WP:NPOV. and if you have any further questions, ask on the WP:TEAHOUSE. LakesideMinersCome Talk To Me!  17:13, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  First off, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS explicitly states "This essay is not a standard reply that can be hurled against anyone you disagree with who has made a reference to how something is done somewhere else." You can't just post a link to justify your reasoning against mine. The "Other Stuff" I'm referring to is a hundred+ page series of notable killings for multiple countries with individual pages by year and month for the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers This is not some one-off article I'm referring to. It's a curated format. Also, here's another important note from right on the top of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. "This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints." Your reference to a Wikipedia guidance page, WP:NEWS, is just as lazy. You meant to link WP:NOTNEWS. And again, I see nothing in that guidance page that says listing the details of the history of a government organization is a violation of policy. I am not posting original reporting, or breaking updates, or extensive biographical details, or excessive details about the events. Thirdly, WP:NPOV is policy page with over a dozen subheadings. One line of bad POV was pointed out, and thank you for that, but the remaining satisfies all requirements for neutral tone as I read them. If you have a specific qualm, please point that out.

replies: text:  What you are adding IS news. and other stuff exists fits,because just because its on one page for a county, dosnt mean it is ment to be placed on EVERY page. what you are putting on the page here. should be on the list of police killings. NOT here. STOP your editing, and ask for help at the teahouse. Oshwah should be here to help you, as I have left a note on his talk page. STOP editing, I do not want either of us to get into an edit war. LakesideMinersCome Talk To Me!  17:36, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  You seemd to be getting angry and losing your edge on grammar, syntax, and formatting. Your opinions are yours to hold, but I maintain this information is not news. It's history and it's germane to the article in question. Also, I did not link another county, but a disambiguation page for multiple countries, which will eventually lead you to the page for the US by month. Are you suggestion I should simply link from this page to the list of killings page for relevant entries? I could make a list or table here and link to there. I find that an acceptable compromise.
