That section needed some cleanup.

I totally agree. There are more notable people in Bowling Green than a porn queen. I think you need to look deeper into the history of Bowling Green. What about the famous Pauline Tabor and her "brothel"......Do your homework
Removed Jefferson Davis from the Bowling Green residents list. He never lived in BG or Warren County--or any surrounding county. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amonkeyandagiraffeinaskilift ( talk • contribs) 18:06, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
In Famous residents, It shows John F Kennedy. I don't think he was ever a resident here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.118.20.251 ( talk) 22:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
He only visited here and shook hands with people at the old courthouse on 10th street. he never lived here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.19.139.112 ( talk) 16:14, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Anyone object to removing the word "most" from the last sentence in the introduction paragraph so it would read "The city is famous for the eponymous 1967 song, "Bowling Green", by The Everly Brothers." Thutch 08:32, 28 March 2012
Does anyone have more particulars on the history of Bowling Green we could add to the article? I was born and raised in the area and actually think I recall some bits and pieces of history from the "historical signs" around town including some involving BG's relevance during the Civil War. I really cannot remember a lot of the history, but I know some is there. - J M 21 Dec. 05
What about the history of US31 and I65, i think that would really jumpstart the nonexistant transportation sections.....
The listed population is radically off-- BG qualified for US metro status in '04 (which requires over 50K), but only by overcounting the WKU student population by statistical averaging. The WKU student population is approximately 18K for counting purposes, 16K actual bodies in town 8-9 months/yr (and a 'suitcase college' for many). Another 4K faculty/staff mean that BG is actually about 35K... KenThomas 04:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
BG/Warren county has 73 active languages (according to the School Board), a fact that makes it the forefront of the "global center" of the US, and reflecting this in the main article would be ... KenThomas 04:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
The section below on the city's history is important as is shows the economic and transportation importance that the town formerly had. An editor deleted with no good faith reason. ==Rail transport== Bowling Green formerly served as a railroad transportation hub. In particular, the city's station served as the junction transfer fro several trains of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. [1] The Historic Railpark and Train Museum in the city commemorates this role.
You have not explained why you have deleted rail from the section on transportation. You are allowing roads, but not rail. Other towns' articles have rail sections in articles. Why not Bowling Green? Dogru144 ( talk) 06:06, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Image:Bowling Green Seal.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:13, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

I moved the description of the fictional "Bowling Green Massacre" to its own section. My edit was reverted, but I reinstated it.
I moved the Massacre text to its own section because, while it seems noteworthy right now, less than a day after it was invented, it can't reasonably be represented as one of the most significant events in Bowling Green's history. For that reason, it doesn't belong in the article's introductory paragraphs.
The justification given for reverting my edit was that it was "massively POV, as it implies that they were terrorists first, then accepted as refugees under a non-Trump government." The only POV here is the factual truth, so when I reinserted the text, I did so with a citation. I did change "terrorist" to "insurgent" since there's arguably a difference between the two, and the cited article uses the latter term rather than the former.
Please don't re-revert my edits without addressing the two points above. Stephen Hui ( talk) 16:52, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
Exactly. And that has nothing whatsoever to do with Bowling Green. John from Idegon ( talk) 01:41, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
For what it's worth, I think that leaving it as a link in the "See also" section is the appropriate amount of coverage of this non-event. Kendall-K1 ( talk) 05:28, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

The first sentence is incoherent, because it calls Bowling Green a "home-rule class city" but links to an article that doesn't even mention the term.
So the meaning of "home-rule class city" is left completely unexplained. 50.205.142.50 ( talk) 02:31, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
