Notre Dame only recognizes 11 National Championships, not 12 as stated in this article. Changed the sentence, rewording in the spirit of the change is encouraged. Kchambers (talk) 12:13, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Why is the Tuskalusa spelling used. The only other place I've seen that spelling is his Wikipedia article. I think this should be amended. Kchambers (talk) 12:05, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Why doesn't this page mention the area's history of KKK being headquartered there? Talmudscholar 23:28, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that's relevant unless is a source that states there was a solid KKK headquarters in the city limits that existed beyond the period where the KKK maintained membership in every area throughout the region. Kchambers (talk) 12:05, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

[edit] Stray bracket

I see a stray bracket at the top of the article... couldn't fix it myself after looking at it for a while. Can anyone else take a look?

--OEP 22:32, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Looking at it again, I can see it's attributed to the citybox markup somehow... IE if you take out the skyline image it's not there anymore.

Most likely, the problem arose when somebody edited the citybox template and messed something up. It's fixed now. --Ttownfeen 03:06, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
It kinda bothers me though. I looked on a couple other pages and none of them had any problems, but at least it's fixed. --OEP 03:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Location of Tuscaloosa, Alabama

[edit] Mercedes Benz is not in the city limits

I suggest you look at the GIS site for the City of Tuscaloosa at [1]. Or you can look at the screenshot I took of the GIS site: [2].The roads around MB are in the city limits but the plant itself is actually in Tuscaloosa County. I was incorrect in stating that it was in Vance, but it is also not in Tuscaloosa. Jasgrider 18:09, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I stand corrected. My apologies. --Ttownfeen 02:12, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Population discrepancy

After noticing a suspicious change to the population (increased by just 5), I looked up the cited pop data. The lead paragraph says, "population of 83,052 (2006 U.S. Census Bureau Estimate)." But the cited Estimate is not for 2006; it's for 2005. And the CSV file referred to lists the pop. as 81,358, not 83,052.

So, what's going on here? What's the real number? --Jeremy Butler 11:23, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
