[edit] Changes 5/19/2007
1. I greatly expanded the History section and sub-divided it, adding hard-copy source material.
2. I moved some of the photos around in an attempt to have them match their section heading to some extent. Also, most of the photos were at the top, and were choking the flow of the text. I added one photo of Ogle's grave.
3. I expanded the Geography section to include paragraphs regarding topography and roads, and placed the Geography section before the History section, since the town's geographical situation was largely responsible for its history.
4. I removed the Unrefenced Sources tag. If there is anything else in the article that is unreferenced, please point it out rather than simply placing a tag at the top.

[edit] Radford Gatlin and Richard Gatling
Carlos Campbell, who is normally accurate, claims that Radford Gatlin was the brother of Gatling gun inventor Richard Gatling (Birth of a National Park, p. 88). I searched various genealogy sites on the web and can find no connection between the two, although they are both from North Carolina. Campbell doesn't give a citation, so I'll assume he's wrong unless we find a more definite source.

[edit] Gatlinburg Fire Department
This section needs some editing. There are some inconsistencies in the number of employees and in the breakdown between, paid, part-time, and volunteer employees. Also the sentance about the department geting 8 call in a year seems to be sitting out there on its own. I'm assuming it refers to how many calls they got the first year, but that is not clear from how it is currently written. If anyone knows for sure the facts for this section please edit.
[edit] Police & Fire Dept.
Any opposition to removing these two sections? There's no real notability and the information is very unencyclopedic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.78.174.27 (talk) 01:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
