[edit] He built...
Comparing versions as far back as it will let me there appears to be a fragment of a sentence. At one point in the History section it just says "He built" and has nothing after it until the next paragraph where it appears to pick back up with a new set of sentences about the man. I have no idea what's attempting to be conveyed, but perhaps that should be deleted or filled in. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.244.130.126 (talk) 09:01, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
- I fixed the sentence fragment you noted and did some minor edits to remove the promotional tourist-bureau tone of some of the text. Also broke long history into two headings, shifted prominent residents to a single section, and shifted demographic narrative out of history down to the demographic section. The article still lacks an explanation of why the Muskogee name was chosen (part of the heritage of the transplanted Creek nation, but I don't have the resources on hand to do a good, well-cited explanation). -- Lisasmall 11:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Greatest Place
Re: first paragraph. The "greatest place in God's green country?" This is hardly a fact. If it's the city motto, or appears on bumper stickers, or some such, it should be put in quotations and attributed.Cwoodw1 18:52, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pee Wee Russell
"Birthplace of actor Pee Wee Russell" - but the link goes to jazz musician Pee Wee Russell, which says, "Russell was born in Maplewood, Missouri and grew up in Muskogee, Oklahoma."

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Seal of muskogee.JPG
Image:Seal of muskogee.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.

[edit] New mayor, 19 yrs old
I added ap google reference, 19 yr old student, 70% vote and replaced Stratton: The current Mayor of Muskogee is the young visionary John Tyler Hammons, 19-year-old University of Oklahoma freshman. Mayor Hammons was first elected (70% of the vote) on May 13, 2008, in an election against former Muskogee Mayor Hershel McBride. Hammons replaces Wren Stratton, who decided not to seek re-election after one term.ap.google.com, U. of Okla. freshman, 19, elected mayor of Muskogee --Florentino floro (talk) 09:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
