[edit] Nickname

"Satan's Foyer" 'is' an actual Louisville nickname in some circles. Evn ashe 01:35, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, that's really just hearsay and we could generate an infinite number of supposed actual nicknames that way. See our policy on verifiability, you'll need to cite a reliably published source saying that nickname is of some meaningful level of usage. --W.marsh 04:21, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tallest buildings

Why doesn't Louisville's aritcle have a tallest buildings section like other similar sized cities.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.128.200.135 (talk • contribs).

• Well, we do, it's just located on Downtown Louisville (I think it was originally here?) I didn't do the move but maybe it should be mentioned here, in abbreviated form. I have added a link to the downtown article in the sentence about tallest buildings, for the time being. Thanks for the comment. --W.marsh 21:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
