[edit] Opinion

Go Vienna! I always feel safe and comfortable here, it's great. Forth of July Fireworks were amazing! And there's a lot of interesting history behind our city. Cool!

[edit] Investigation

Anyone want to write something about the CIA investigation going on right now?

Mm, I dunno much about it. But I did take a look at the filming of the upcoming film about the whole debacle Sean 00:56, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accolades

It's looking great, guys! Sean 23:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wolf trap

And then there's Wolftrap. The performing place. YA know?

Hey, does anyone know what's with lots of things being named w/ wolf in the name: wolftrails park, wolftrap elementary, wolftrap, wolftrap road...

Yes, Wolf Trap has its own page: Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, which is linked to from this article. Is there something else you wanted added? As for the "wolf" history, it's actually "Wolf Trap" that is the historical element. A stream called "Wolf Trap Creek" appeared on a 1739 map of the area, and that's where the modern usage comes from. Wolftrap Elementary, the Wolf Trap Motel, Wolf Trap itself, Trap Road (not Wolf Trap Road), etc. are all based on this...and any other Wolf names are too. -Etoile 02:50, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV dispute

Many statements including "James Madison High School is Vienna's greatest pride for school sports, along with the Vienna Youth Inc" seem to be made without any factual documentation. They are purely the author’s bias.

The phraseology of the article does not follow that of an encyclopedia, it sounds more like a travel brochure.

I removed the NPOV tag because the article seems to have been re-written since then. All of the accolades accorded to Vienna have been backed up: FCPS is "perennially rated one of the best," the James Madison band program is "outstanding" because it is "award-winning," etc. I don't find a single NPOV or travel brochure-like statement here. Full disclosure, I'm a resident of Vienna. -Etoile 02:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Temperature chart

This is a request: could someone please make an annual (avg) temperature chart a part of this page? Would help a lot. Thanks. 221.134.24.132 17:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] population

the population of this town is listed as a decimal. this makes me unsure of factuality of everything else in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.30.212.173 (talk) 21:10, 7 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Phil Chenier

Does Phil Chenier also live in Vienna? I never knew that and his own wikipedia article says he currently resides in Maryland. I know Buckhantz actually does live in Vienna. Also aren't there a few famous politicians who reside in town? (Orrin Hatch?) I won't change the article, but I'm pretty sure I would have know if Phil Chenier lived in Vienna. 75.75.12.89 22:38, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
