I don't see these important historical events discussed at all in the article
What constitutes "many" newspapers? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.218.51.95 ( talk • contribs) 21:59, 26 April 2006.
After some thought I decide to reverted the format JaMikePA made to the Sports paragraph. No offense but, the previous format was cleaner looking and the addition of established date and championships can be debated. The Cottonmouths organization was established in 1996 has fielded teams in three different leagues. Some people may say the established should only be for their current SPHL franchise, which would be 2004. Similar for the Catfish, some might argue their established date should be when they relocated to Columbus from Albany in 2003. Two of the Cottonmouths' four championships were regular season titles. Only two were playoff championships. Any championship title is nice but all are not equal to a playoff championship. I believe it's better for the reader to click on the article link to see any club history. StrayKat99 ( talk) 04:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Image:ColumbusCottonmouths headonly.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 ensure 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.

The image Image:ColumbusLions.PNG is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

The discussion on crime seems overly rosy to say the least. In 2007, Columbus set a new record for murders in one year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthteller234 ( talk • contribs) 20:18, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Since when did East Columbus become a "rich" area of town?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthteller234 ( talk • contribs) 20:20, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
There really should be an article about the Columbus Stockade and the folk-blues song that has been covered by so many famous artists. - Parsa ( talk) 22:42, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Having two images in the Public transit section clutters the section and, IAW WP:MOS, one of the images should be removed. I suggest the image of the Greyhound bus, so as to keep municipal-transit integrity of the section. Bullmoosebell ( talk) 02:58, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
The main photo and one other image ("Downtown Columbus at sunset") are horrible. If Columbus isn't as pretty as Savannah, it's still more attractive than this! The wonderful collage of photos included last year had copyright issues and had to be removed, but must they be replaced by these homely pics?
It seems that Columbus is trying to reshape itself, what with its artistic reformation downtown and other such things. I think there should be a section about the opera house, the factory-turned-convention-center, the Coca-Cola Space and Science Center, NerdaCon, and other tourist-oriented attractions. — Supuhstar * § 20:54, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
Does Wayne Brady fit this? "closely associated with the city of Columbus"? His article says he was born there but left as a young child. Is that a close association? I doubt it, but would like to know what others think. Thanks and best wishes DBaK ( talk) 06:59, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Dwight D. Eisenhower was stationed at Fort Benning and coached football there in 1926. I added sourced information pertaining to this and it was removed. The Notable People Guidelines for cities make it clear that his residency in Columbus at that time qualify him inclusion on this list. If there is an issue, please bring it up there, but there is no reason to remove sourced information. Laundrybox ( talk) 21:04, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
In line with WP:BRD this now needs discussing. 198.23.103.88 added Eisenhower on the grounds that he was at Fort Benning. I removed him on the grounds that that does not make him a notable Columbus person, and out of a further concern that if we list here every notable person who was ever at Benning, the list could overbalance the article quite severely. Since then Laundrybox has added it back in, on the grounds that "This change is well within the notable people|city guidelines." I find this difficult ... firstly I'm far from sure that he should be in the Columbus article at all, as it is about Columbus and not Benning; secondly, there is perhaps a second debate to be had about whether Fort Benning needs a notable people section, and then what its inclusion criteria should be. Perhaps fortunately this second bit's not my concern as I'm not interested in the FB article, only Columbus! Finally, I see that Laundrybox has been greatly involved in debate on this topic at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline so it's hardly new for them, but I'm not sure this will help! Anyway, I am off WP for a short while now so good luck with it; I'll try to look in and see what has happened here. Best wishes to all DBaK ( talk) 21:08, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
I moved the list to its own stand alone list at List of people from Columbus, Georgia. I'm almost done turning it into an easily viewable table format. Kudos to whomever did the citation work on this list. I don't see many of these lists with such great citation work. If you want to know what else can be added, check out List of people from Park Ridge, Illinois. It is probably the best example of what a "Notable people from..." list should look like.
