[edit] Clean up

The grammar and punctuation on here was a mess, but I have cleaned it up a bit. There were also some POV issues, so I removed those. However, it seems to me that what's left is not as well developed or researched as it should be (for instance, the children's museum and the Parks Dept. or whoever runs the skating rinks probably have websites that could be linked to). Is there a monrovian around here who has knowledge of such things? Mwillia9 07:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

  • I'm a local. Currently, I'm looking for links and confirmation of some of this stuff. hobbie 15:22, 17 March 2007 (UTC)


A nearby paper mill pollutes the air with a pungent foul odor.

The paper mill is quite a long distance from Monroe, and in fact it is in West Monroe, Louisiana. You can very rarely smell the paper mill unless you are close to it. Removed.


Hey, I am trying to travel from Lutcher, Louisiana to Monroe, Louisiana. Do you have good advice how I can get there? How many hours will it take if i am driving 55 mph an hour?

'bout 4:20

I believe Monroe has a connection with Coco Cola.


I didn't know that there was going to be a knew speedway here! 216.79.211.188 03:06, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

The public & political corruption is so bad in Monroe and the entire Ouachita Parish area! 216.79.211.188 03:06, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] economy

I added information with high schools as well as changed the business section to economy and added major players in the Monroe economy. This article needs work! There is so much in Monroe! Also, a picture of the skyline should be added to the box--i dunno how-- it should be easy to find

OK--i did all of that and changed wording

Come on, there's more links to be added and more info to be found. Feature this article on some type of group work thing!

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Library3 ulm.jpg

Image:Library3 ulm.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
