[edit] city images
Why did edits with public photos of the city get erased?
- Because you cannot simply take photos off the 'net and upload them to Wikipedia, see WP:IUP. We cannot use "non-commercial use only" photos. Thanks/wangi 17:21, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jimi Hendrix
Jimi was listed as both the lead off Clarksvillian and as a person who called Clarksville home. I've dropped him from the first mention as he is from Seattle not Clarksville. He did live in Clarksvile for a couple of years so he belongs in the second list. s-slaytor
- He was in a list of those who resided here, mainly due to his stay at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. He had frequented a guitar store downtown while in the Army. -- Riffsyphon1024 (talk) 23:01, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Crime
Clarksville has had a pretty severe (and worsening) crime problem for years, and is known throughout the region as having a serious ongoing corruption problem; should we add a section concerning this?Paganize (talk) 06:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] F&M Bank
I removed the link to F&M Bank. The link redirected to F&M Bank Los Angeles which has no association with the F&M Bank in Clarksville. The website for F&M Bank in Clarksville is http://www.myfmbank.com . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.144.66.157 (talk) 19:51, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
