[edit] Definition of Karns
This article has puzzled me. Karns is a single unincorporated community in western Knox County, not an unincorporated community that includes four other unincorporated communities (which is what the current version of the article says it is). After studying article histories, I suddenly realized what is going on: as written, this article discusses the current attendance zone for Karns High School. The contributor who wrote the article apparently is a Karns High School student with an understandable interest in describing the school's attendance zone. However, a school attendance zone (particularly one that is subject to change as this one is, when the new Hardin Valley High School is completed) is not a valid basis for an encyclopedia article about a community. I propose that the article should be refocused on Karns itself. Some elements of the description of the attendance zone can be moved to the Karns High School article, although information about churches, radio stations, etc., does not belong in a high school article. If I am wrong in my interpretation of the scope of the article as written, please comment here. --orlady 02:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Seeing no response to my request for comments on where this definition of "Karns" came from, I am likely to make some changes to the article without your input.--orlady 02:20, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article lacks sources
Am encyclopedia article needs sources. For example, what is the source of the population and income data given here?--orlady 01:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
