Doesn't the comment that the schools "are greatly underfunded" lack NPOV? emw 16:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Someone needs to completely overhaul the initial paragraph in this article. As a Chattanooga resident, I think it's highly unrepresentative the city we Chattanoogans know and love. I hardly ever hear a train, let alone see one, and that's not why people live in and visit Chattanooga and its surrounding mountains and river. Our downtown is vibrant and fun without obliterating the scenic and environmentally-minded aspects of our city. I moved to Chattanooga for college, but the longer I live here, the more I don't want to leave. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.182.182.198 ( talk • contribs)

I'm also a Chattanoogan, and I don't have a problem at all with the article. I think it's fine and informative, and whether you like it or not, the city is well known for it's history with trains. It sounds like you'd prefer if there was a lavishly written essay on the beauty of the city.--[[User:]] 00:44, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Chattanooga also remains one of the largest freight rail hubs in the South. If you don't hear trains, you likely live on the eastern or northern part of the city, the rest is covered by rail. TKE 01:25, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
The first paragraph is kinda crappy because there's no mention of any distances from any major cities, such as Nashville, Atlanta or Birmingham. I've lived in Chattanooga all my life and when people from out of town ask me where do I live, they are confused to where Chattanooga is. I feel it's important for people to be able to know roughly where Chattanooga is. Also, some of the information have grammatical errors. Jay ( talk) 20:24, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
I have modified the first paragraph slightly to tell the distances from Chattanooga to major cities, such as Atlanta, Nashville and Birmingham. I have also modified the grammar slightly. Please do not edit this or remove this from the article. Thanks. Jay ( talk) 20:39, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
I'm repeating my warning to not modify any information I have added to the first paragraph because I feel the information clarifies things for people who are not natives of Chattanooga or people who do not know of Chattanooga very well.

The last half of the last paragraph under History is badly mangled with long sentences and fragmented delivery. For example:
"in addition to winning various national and regional awards, Chattanooga was the profile city of the August 2007 edition of US Airways Magazine, Volkswagen announced the construction of its first U.S. auto plant in over three decades, the Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly Plant, in July 2008, Chattanooga was ranked 8th out of America's 100 largest metro areas for the best "Bang For Your Buck" city, according to Forbes magazine, which measured overall affordability, housing rates, and more, in December 2009, and got the first one gigabit a second Internet service in the United States in September 2010 through the city-owned utility of EPB, among other major events."

This section's statistics need to be verified. The latest I can find is 2004 with 23 murders. The part about gangs needs a reference or it should be removed. Besides, it's doubtful Chattanooga didn't have gangs until the summer of 2003. Also I found this quote from a local news website; Mayor Bob Corker, Chattanooga: "Crime has been reduced by 26% in this community in three years...maybe even more importantly, violent crime has been reduced by over 50%."

The link is chattanooga.tennessee.com and I believe it contains useful information about Chattanooga. Yes, there are commercial links contained within - but when visiting a new location, whether as a tourist or relocating, it's important to know what hotels are in the area, what restaurants are there, etc. The site also contains a lot of highly interesting (and useful) information such as a map pointing out places of interest, some text on the town, government contacts and demographics information, as well as a yellow pages directory. At this time, also, a lot of work is being done to improve this site, to make it more informative and user friendly and I believe as a link it would be beneficial to wikipedia viewers. -- Lspitz 19 Jun 2006

The second sentence reads "It is the state's second oldest major city behind Knoxville." -- but I'm not sure what this means exactly. The history section gives quite a few dates. If we're talking about the date of incorporation/charter as Chattanooga, wouldn't that be after the Trail of Tears, making both Kingsport and Memphis older. If the date is of Cherokee occupation, shouldn't the comparison be to Chickasaw occupation of Memphis (Chickasaw Bluffs), Kingsport as the Cherokee Long Island of the Holston, etc etc. If it is settlement by European-Americans, then Nashville's "French Lick" settlement dates back to 1769 ( History of Nashville, Tennessee). Just wondering. Pfly 03:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
The Chattanooga Steam is an AAU elite traveling Basketball program. This organization started in the late 80's.

Recent edits to the table in this section had replaced the Chattanooga Steamers, allegedly a basketball team, with the Chattanooga Steam, which seems to be a men's semi-pro basketball team. I don't know if the Chattanooga Steamers still exist. If they do, they should not have been overwritten. The Steam have a website at http://www.steamfootball.com/ which says they are affiliated with the North American Football League, but I cannot find them on that league's website. The earlier addition indicated (as does the team website) that they are part of the Southeastern American Football League, which has a website at http://www.seafl.net/, but it is not apparent that this league is active or that this team is part of it. This is making me think that semi-pro sports teams such as this one are too ephemeral to deserve Wikipedia articles. -- orlady 17:14, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Move withdrawn in face of concerted opposition from non-editors of this page, who game the system to ensure their will is followed, and efforts to leave regular editors unaware of the process. - BillCJ 23:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
I totally understand that no one OWNS a page. I was referring solely to the fact that no regular editors participated, nor is there any way to let them know on the article page. By "gaming the system", I am also referrign to such attitudes as if anything there is a conflict of interest by editors of this page because they maybe attached to the subject matter in some way! Thanks but no thanks to you offer to participate in the discussion, as my "biased" opinion would render my efforts fruitless, as I am "attached" to the city I was born in. - BillCJ 00:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Where I come from, "settlements" means its been settled, but you're telling to read it b/c it isn't settled? Hmm. Had I read that page beforehand? No, because it's not listed to any of the Move pages, which is where one goes to move a page. That's the problem with Wikipedia, some little group somewhere decides something, and they expect people to search out their ruling, and condem them if they don't know about it. Sorry, but it's just plain silly that Chattanooga is a redirect. And naming conventions are guidelines, not policies; they don't HAVE to be followed, especially if it's stupid. - BillCJ 04:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
For the record, Toronto, Ontario is at ... Toronto. - BillCJ 05:57, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
In summary, I DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING TREATED AS IF I HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG in making the move request. I am not a vandal, nor do I purposely ignore conventions or consensus on a regular basis.
As for the naming conventions on cities, I think the genie is out of the bottle. I see no signs of returning to the existing status quo. "Requesting" no such moves be made until a new consensus is reached, with all likely hood of that not happening in the near future, is a backhanded way of trying to enforce your will without a consensus.
As stated above, I will not participate in discussions on this matter in general, as some of the participants do not respect the opinions of those who actually edit the pages subject to the conventions being discussed. I have said my piece on this issue, and would like to be done with it. - BillCJ 01:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

http://www.nationalmocktrial.org/results2002.cfm http://www.nationalmocktrial.org/results2003.cfm —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Silverhand ( talk • contribs).
Thanks, Silverhand. I think there are two claims here:
1. The community is home to a prominent homeschooling community. 2. The homeschool community won the above-listed national mock trial competitions.
The second has been ably sourced by Silverhand. The first is more difficult, though. I'm not sure if the second point is enough to make the homeschool community "prominent" (though it obviously helps). But the second point is also dependent on the first - if the homeschool community isn't notable, then the wins are probably not either. So I think what we need here is some source for why the Chattanooga homeschool community is notable / prominent. Anyone have anything like that? I'd be willing to bet there's something out there that we could use. (Alternatively, we could just say that the second point proves the first - I'd certainly be open to that if that's what people think.) -- TheOther Bob 23:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
I think TheOtherBob's analysis is pretty much on target. I'm aware that the mock trial teams won those back-to-back national titles, which is neat, but I guess I'm on the side saying that it doesn't make the homeschool community prominent. I looked on their website and couldn't any find info about the size of their organization, though it does mention their scope (parts of SE Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama). This tells me that their organization (CSTHEA) encompasses much more than Chattanooga, which could be another argument against including it (since we don't really know how prominent the Chattanooga portion of it is). Aside from that, there are other other area schools with vibrant support in the community, some of which are not listed (David Brainerd, Tennessee Temple, Grace Baptist, among others). If the goal is to list all the schools and their notable accomplishments, that would be fine, and we could have a very long section, but it might not be pertinent information about Chattanooga. It seems like that type of information might be best left to the Wikipedia pages for the individual schools. Jfwiii 18:21, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

The metro population estimate currently on the page (658,201) is for the Combined Statistical Area, which includes Cleveland, TN and Athens, TN. The Metropolitan Statistical Area population (496,704 est. 2006) is typically more commonly used to represent the metro population.
In addition, both the city population and the metro population are 2006 estimates by the Census Bureau. The City of Chattanooga is disputing the 2006 estimate, at least informally.
Is it more appropriate to use 2000 figures, and which metro population measure is more appropriate? Jstein4716 20:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I did not state that the schools removed were non-notable, but rather that there was no proof of notability. Wikipedia is not collection of indiscriminate lists. We must use reliable sources in article to prove the notability of items int he text. I removed the schools without any articles or sources because they do not meet these policy requirements. The text in question is not simply a list of schools (such a list would be far too long for this article). The text states: the city is home to several well-known private and parochial secondary schools (emphasis added). What defines well-known? I have heard of each of these schools, but for me to decide they are "well known" is original research. If the list stayed simply as it is, I could live with that, but anyone who watches this page knows that schools are added and removed from the list several times a month. As such, it's basically a "spitting contest" over whose school should be listed and whose shouldn't. That is partly why WIkipedia has the soucing policies that it does, to prevent these kinds of silliness, and to allow editors to cut backs lists that grow like this. I won't revert Orlady's good faith restoration of the unlinked schools, as she is an editor witha good reputation here. If she has a policy to cite which exuses schools/cities from thes notability requirements, or some other reason why policy should not be applied here, then she is welcome to present her case.

I don't think that Bill Curry ever lived in Chattanooga. He was for a short time associated with Baylor School but he was not a full-time employee and was more of a consultant.

It was my impression during his association with Baylor that he lived in Atlanta or in Western North Carolina, possibly Culowhee, or both, but I don't think he ever resided in Chattanooga.

Just putting my latest 2 cents for the page. The article has gotten really well-written over the last few years. However, one small addition would make it even better: a map of Chattanooga in Hamilton County, i.e. similar to Cumberland, Maryland in Allegany County or Memphis in Shelby County. The map would help delineate the exact location of Chattanooga in Hamilton County; as I understand it, Chattanooga has some unique boundaries.

Should the title be just "Chattanooga?" I realize that this has been discussed more than ten years ago, but what about taking into consideration that all other populated places by the name of "Chattanooga" show no significance? 146.229.240.200 ( talk) 01:04, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Doesn't the comment that the schools "are greatly underfunded" lack NPOV? emw 16:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Someone needs to completely overhaul the initial paragraph in this article. As a Chattanooga resident, I think it's highly unrepresentative the city we Chattanoogans know and love. I hardly ever hear a train, let alone see one, and that's not why people live in and visit Chattanooga and its surrounding mountains and river. Our downtown is vibrant and fun without obliterating the scenic and environmentally-minded aspects of our city. I moved to Chattanooga for college, but the longer I live here, the more I don't want to leave. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.182.182.198 ( talk • contribs)
It would have been nice if you had left your name and possibly some concrete suggestions on how to improve the article other than just saying "it sucks and I hate it". -- ZekeMacNeil 19:34, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'm also a Chattanoogan, and I don't have a problem at all with the article. I think it's fine and informative, and whether you like it or not, the city is well known for it's history with trains. It sounds like you'd prefer if there was a lavishly written essay on the beauty of the city.--[[User:]] 00:44, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Chattanooga also remains one of the largest freight rail hubs in the South. If you don't hear trains, you likely live on the eastern or northern part of the city, the rest is covered by rail. TKE 01:25, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
The first paragraph is kinda crappy because there's no mention of any distances from any major cities, such as Nashville, Atlanta or Birmingham. I've lived in Chattanooga all my life and when people from out of town ask me where do I live, they are confused to where Chattanooga is. I feel it's important for people to be able to know roughly where Chattanooga is. Also, some of the information have grammatical errors. Jay ( talk) 20:24, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
I have modified the first paragraph slightly to tell the distances from Chattanooga to major cities, such as Atlanta, Nashville and Birmingham. I have also modified the grammar slightly. Please do not edit this or remove this from the article. Thanks. Jay ( talk) 20:39, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
I'm repeating my warning to not modify any information I have added to the first paragraph because I feel the information clarifies things for people who are not natives of Chattanooga or people who do not know of Chattanooga very well. Again, please do not remove the word "near", as in near the state border with Georgia. Thanks! Jay ( talk) 03:14, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey. Could someone add a map of Chattanooga within Hamilton County? That would be cool and also make the article similar to other articles about cities and would be even more informative about Chattanooga for non-residents and residents alike. Jay ( talk) 05:02, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
The last half of the last paragraph under History is badly mangled with long sentences and fragmented delivery. For example:
"in addition to winning various national and regional awards, Chattanooga was the profile city of the August 2007 edition of US Airways Magazine, Volkswagen announced the construction of its first U.S. auto plant in over three decades, the Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly Plant, in July 2008, Chattanooga was ranked 8th out of America's 100 largest metro areas for the best "Bang For Your Buck" city, according to Forbes magazine, which measured overall affordability, housing rates, and more, in December 2009, and got the first one gigabit a second Internet service in the United States in September 2010 through the city-owned utility of EPB, among other major events."

This section's statistics need to be verified. The latest I can find is 2004 with 23 murders. The part about gangs needs a reference or it should be removed. Besides, it's doubtful Chattanooga didn't have gangs until the summer of 2003. Also I found this quote from a local news website; Mayor Bob Corker, Chattanooga: "Crime has been reduced by 26% in this community in three years...maybe even more importantly, violent crime has been reduced by over 50%." Jan. 5, 2005. http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_60621.asp Upon further review, all edits (including demographics) by 68.59.202.190 seem to be vandalism and need to be reverted.

A few days ago I added an external link that was removed (for reasons I can understand - previous removal is not being questioned) but I would like to propose replacing it. The link is chattanooga.tennessee.com and I believe it contains useful information about Chattanooga. Yes, there are commercial links contained within - but when visiting a new location, whether as a tourist or relocating, it's important to know what hotels are in the area, what restaurants are there, etc. The site also contains a lot of highly interesting (and useful) information such as a map pointing out places of interest, some text on the town, government contacts and demographics information, as well as a yellow pages directory. At this time, also, a lot of work is being done to improve this site, to make it more informative and user friendly and I believe as a link it would be beneficial to wikipedia viewers. -- Lspitz 19 Jun 2006

The second sentence reads "It is the state's second oldest major city behind Knoxville." -- but I'm not sure what this means exactly. The history section gives quite a few dates. If we're talking about the date of incorporation/charter as Chattanooga, wouldn't that be after the Trail of Tears, making both Kingsport and Memphis older. If the date is of Cherokee occupation, shouldn't the comparison be to Chickasaw occupation of Memphis (Chickasaw Bluffs), Kingsport as the Cherokee Long Island of the Holston, etc etc. If it is settlement by European-Americans, then Nashville's "French Lick" settlement dates back to 1769 ( History of Nashville, Tennessee). Just wondering. Pfly 03:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
The Chattanooga Steam is an AAU elite traveling Basketball program. This organization started in the late 80's. To date the steam has won 12 national championships and sent over 20 kids to division 1 college programs.

Recent edits to the table in this section had replaced the Chattanooga Steamers, allegedly a basketball team, with the Chattanooga Steam, which seems to be a men's semi-pro basketball team. I don't know if the Chattanooga Steamers still exist. If they do, they should not have been overwritten. The Steam have a website at http://www.steamfootball.com/ which says they are affiliated with the North American Football League, but I cannot find them on that league's website. The earlier addition indicated (as does the team website) that they are part of the Southeastern American Football League, which has a website at http://www.seafl.net/, but it is not apparent that this league is active or that this team is part of it. This is making me think that semi-pro sports teams such as this one are too ephemeral to deserve Wikipedia articles. -- orlady 17:14, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Move withdrawn in face of concerted opposition from non-editors of this page, who game the system to ensure their will is followed, and efforts to leave regular editors unaware of the process. - BillCJ 23:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
I totally understand that no one OWNS a page. I was referring solely to the fact that no regular editors participated, nor is there any way to let them know on the article page. By "gaming the system", I am also referrign to such attitudes as if anything there is a conflict of interest by editors of this page because they maybe attached to the subject matter in some way! Thanks but no thanks to you offer to participate in the discussion, as my "biased" opinion would render my efforts fruitless, as I am "attached" to the city I was born in. - BillCJ 00:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Where I come from, "settlements" means its been settled, but you're telling to read it b/c it isn't settled? Hmm. Had I read that page beforehand? No, because it's not listed to any of the Move pages, which is where one goes to move a page. That's the problem with Wikipedia, some little group somewhere decides something, and they expect people to search out their ruling, and condem them if they don't know about it. Sorry, but it's just plain silly that Chattanooga is a redirect. And naming conventions are guidelines, not policies; they don't HAVE to be followed, especially if it's stupid. - BillCJ 04:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
For the record, Toronto, Ontario is at ... Toronto. - BillCJ 05:57, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
In summary, I DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING TREATED AS IF I HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG in making the move request. I am not a vandal, nor do I purposely ignore conventions or consensus on a regular basis.
As for the naming conventions on cities, I think the genie is out of the bottle. I see no signs of returning to the existing status quo. "Requesting" no such moves be made until a new consensus is reached, with all likely hood of that not happening in the near future, is a backhanded way of trying to enforce your will without a consensus.
As stated above, I will not participate in discussions on this matter in general, as some of the participants do not respect the opinions of those who actually edit the pages subject to the conventions being discussed. I have said my piece on this issue, and would like to be done with it. - BillCJ 01:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
And thank you. - BillCJ 00:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
http://www.nationalmocktrial.org/results2002.cfm http://www.nationalmocktrial.org/results2003.cfm —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Silverhand ( talk • contribs).
Thanks, Silverhand. I think there are two claims here:
1. The community is home to a prominent homeschooling community. 2. The homeschool community won the above-listed national mock trial competitions.
The second has been ably sourced by Silverhand. The first is more difficult, though. I'm not sure if the second point is enough to make the homeschool community "prominent" (though it obviously helps). But the second point is also dependent on the first - if the homeschool community isn't notable, then the wins are probably not either. So I think what we need here is some source for why the Chattanooga homeschool community is notable / prominent. Anyone have anything like that? I'd be willing to bet there's something out there that we could use. (Alternatively, we could just say that the second point proves the first - I'd certainly be open to that if that's what people think.) -- TheOther Bob 23:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
I think TheOtherBob's analysis is pretty much on target. I'm aware that the mock trial teams won those back-to-back national titles, which is neat, but I guess I'm on the side saying that it doesn't make the homeschool community prominent. I looked on their website and couldn't any find info about the size of their organization, though it does mention their scope (parts of SE Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama). This tells me that their organization (CSTHEA) encompasses much more than Chattanooga, which could be another argument against including it (since we don't really know how prominent the Chattanooga portion of it is). Aside from that, there are other other area schools with vibrant support in the community, some of which are not listed (David Brainerd, Tennessee Temple, Grace Baptist, among others). If the goal is to list all the schools and their notable accomplishments, that would be fine, and we could have a very long section, but it might not be pertinent information about Chattanooga. It seems like that type of information might be best left to the Wikipedia pages for the individual schools. Jfwiii 18:21, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

The metro population estimate currently on the page (658,201) is for the Combined Statistical Area, which includes Cleveland, TN and Athens, TN. The Metropolitan Statistical Area population (496,704 est. 2006) is typically more commonly used to represent the metro population.
In addition, both the city population and the metro population are 2006 estimates by the Census Bureau. The City of Chattanooga is disputing the 2006 estimate, at least informally.
Is it more appropriate to use 2000 figures, and which metro population measure is more appropriate? Jstein4716 20:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I did not state that the schools removed were non-notable, but rather that there was no proof of notability. Wikipedia is not collection of indiscriminate lists. We must use reliable sources in article to prove the notability of items int he text. I removed the schools without any articles or sources because they do not meet these policy requirements. The text in question is not simply a list of schools (such a list would be far too long for this article). The text states: the city is home to several well-known private and parochial secondary schools (emphasis added). What defines well-known? I have heard of each of these schools, but for me to decide they are "well known" is original research. If the list stayed simply as it is, I could live with that, but anyone who watches this page knows that schools are added and removed from the list several times a month. As such, it's basically a "spitting contest" over whose school should be listed and whose shouldn't. That is partly why WIkipedia has the soucing policies that it does, to prevent these kinds of silliness, and to allow editors to cut backs lists that grow like this. I won't revert Orlady's good faith restoration of the unlinked schools, as she is an editor witha good reputation here. If she has a policy to cite which exuses schools/cities from thes notability requirements, or some other reason why policy should not be applied here, then she is welcome to present her case.

I don't think that Bill Curry ever lived in Chattanooga. He was for a short time associated with Baylor School but he was not a full-time employee and was more of a consultant. He did speak at the school several times. He severed his role with Baylor when he took the head coaching job at Georgia State. It was my impression during his association with Baylor that he lived in Atlanta or in Western North Carolina, possibly Culowhee, or both, but I don't think he ever resided in Chattanooga.

I have found this site by mistake however I want to experience Chattanooga offerings. Sounds and looks GREAT! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.162.54.226 ( talk) 04:39, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Since I am not active with this article, I noticed only recently of
this edit that was a reversion of the edit I made only 18 minutes earlier. BilCat, I ask you to withdraw the edit summary, which I take offensively and view as dishonesty inaccurate.
Err like this once more, and suffer my displeasure; Repeat this, and I will not be willing to collaborate with you, seeing as by then you would have lost trust and faith twice already. --

Just putting my latest 2 cents for the page. The article has gotten really well-written over the last few years. However, one small addition would make it even better: a map of Chattanooga in Hamilton County, i.e. similar to Cumberland, Maryland in Allegany County or Memphis in Shelby County. The map would help delineate the exact location of Chattanooga in Hamilton County; as I understand it, Chattanooga has some unique boundaries. Let's keep making this article the best city-related article! Cheers, Jay ( talk) 06:21, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
I was wondering if someone could update the city's flag. Apparently the city flag was changed in 2011-12 and the article should reflect that change. Jay ( talk) 06:14, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
Both the flag and the svg seal were deleted today for nor being correctly licensed, and the png seal was deleted yesterday as an orhan. - BilCat ( talk) 19:22, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
I've said it before and now I'll say it again: See the /doc subpage for the guidelines for template:infobox settlement. The highways do not belong there, and the title should be "Chattanooga, Tennessee," not "City of Chattanooga." We wouldn't put "City of New York City," so we don't do that here, either. God...

Golf legend from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Ed won no less than 22 Chattanooga District golf events, 3 Tennessee State Amateurs, 3 Tennessee State Senior Amateurs, a Southern Amateur Championship in 1957 and also won the German Amateur while in the military.
What is missing from the somewhat recently created city timeline article? Please add relevant content! Contributions welcome. Thank you. -- M2545 ( talk) 12:30, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Chattanooga, Tennessee/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
==Importance==
Top importance. Chattanooga is one of the major cities in Tennessee. The topic is of interest beyond the local scope. ==Quality== B-Class. The article is well structured and comprehensive. History and Tourism section could be subdevided further to make the content easier to asses for someone who does not want to read it all. Photos relevant to the topic are present. A reference section is present but not used as supposed. It is encouraged to verify the facts and state sources in the references section. |

Should the title be just "Chattanooga?" I realize that this has been discussed more than ten years ago, but what about taking into consideration that all other populated places by the name of "Chattanooga" show no significance? 146.229.240.200 ( talk) 01:04, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
There have been a lot of IP edits adding random outsourced information to the demographics section, i don't think i caught all of them, either way the demographics section needs to be updated based on the 2020 census. [1]
