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

[edit] Sources

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)

Elvis was born in East Tupelo according to his biography "Last train to Mempis"

Believe Memphis is spelled with an "h"...

Removing uncited, slanderous material: "* All Tupelo High School cross country runners use blood doping tactics."

My grandfather was wounded in the battle here. He never mentioned in his letters the name "Tupelo" It was known to him as the "Battle of Harrisburg". The monument in the park recognizes this in parentheses under "Battle of Tupelo". Apparently my grandfather had never heard of Tupelo because it did not exist. Oh--And he got his revenge. Tupelo was hit by a terrible tornado the day I was born on April 5, 1936.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:2006-homeagain.jpg

Image:2006-homeagain.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.
