I think that's the general rule of thumb in Ohio. Municipalities continue to operate under their charters, whether village or city, unless revoked by a Court of Common Pleas in Ohio (as it was for New Rome, Ohio in 2004). -- SwissCelt 17:28, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
By the way, the introductory paragraph suffers from POV issues, besides being rather unencyclopedic in tone. I'll be editing it along with the information of Gallipolis' remaining a city. -- SwissCelt 17:28, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
I grew up there and, as described below, the actual usage was po-liss (as disgruntled youngsters our hometown was referred to as "Gallon-o-p*ss" as a rhyming insult) but the official adult types always used the 'police' ending. Yes, it made referring to the local law enforcement sound rather awkward ("The Gallia-police police department.") They are both right and no one there would bother to correct you for either one, but Galla-po-liss is most used by the locals even if, as illustrated below, they know what the official pronounciation should be. camsterSD 21:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
The correct pronounciation of Gallipolis is not "gal li po LEES". It is "gal li po LIS", like Metropolis. Many people do pronounce it incorrectly and I just wanted to make that clear. Try saying this aloud: "gal li po LEES" Police, or "gal li po LIS" Police? Chayalalovegirl 21:50, 03 May 2006

The first sentence in the section, « Gallipolis was settled in 1790 by French aristocrats escaping the guillotine in post- Bastille Day, pre-revolutionary France. » seems to be bizarre.
The guillotine was built much later, during the year 1791, and first adopted as the new execution mode on March 20, 1792 and first used on a prisoner on next April 25... Hégésippe | ±Θ± 08:12, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Three paragraphs in quotes seem too many for what is basically factual information that could be paraphrased and cited to the same sources. The extensive quotation from an early source makes the language awkward. Parkwells ( talk) 16:33, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
I suppose they're thinking about Marietta. Actually, Losantiville, North Bend and Columbia preceded Gallipolis as well. And then there were Kaskaskia, Cahokia, Vincennes, Clarksville, Fort Finney/Jeffersonville, just to be 100% accurate. Sbalfour ( talk) 02:54, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
"The fear mongering creature known as Mothman was responsible for the [Silver Bridge collapse] although this has been covered up by the government."
What?!
In West Virginia, he is only "a harbinger of imminent disaster." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:183:4400:3600:5505:FC50:D1FC:5459 ( talk) 01:37, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
