[edit] New Mayor

Paul Hurley didn't ask the council to re-ppoint him, so former mayor and councilman Douglas Weberling has been selected. Hurley will likely be appointed Vice Mayor.

[edit] Incorporated

Bristol, Virginia was incorporated 1891 as the city of Goodson.

[edit] Tri Cities

Are both Bristols part of the Tri Cities? Why isn't it the Quad Cities? --Gbleem 04:14, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

They kind of "count" it is One city, for some odd reason...

I brought that up to the mayor once, and he said he had never thought of it.

[edit] "Bristol, Virginia ranks near the bottom of Virginia localities in education, healthcare, and income."

I hate removed this sentence from the article:

"Bristol, Virginia ranks near the bottom of Virginia localities in education, healthcare, and income."

It would be nice if this assertion could be backed up with a citation or two. --Takeel 02:41, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Population

Given the extreme influx of illegal immigrants, the figures regarding the Hispanic population of that area are comically erroneous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.151.35 (talk) 04:40, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Location

If Bristol is on the VA-TN border, then it certainly isn't where the red dot on the accompanying map is. 12.76.144.235 15:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bristolvaseal.gif

Image:Bristolvaseal.gif 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
