Talk:Bossier City, Louisiana

Comment
This article is poorly organized.
 * Comment needs a lot of references... Wikiwikikid (talk) 20:54, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I propose the below reorganization for this article. Loosely based on the Milwaukee city article and others. Placed it here so that others working on this article may concur or disagree, and we will all have some kind of plan to work from. vernajast&#124;is super serial 21:28, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Pictures
This article has entirely too many pictures. Their abundance, and placement, screws up the page formatting. ---  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive' 02:44, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I've hidden the images via HTML and suggest adding only the relevant ones back in as editing on this article progresses. I agree, they were unneccesary. vernajast&#124;is super serial 16:53, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Major Flood Events
Two major flooding events, one caused by the Red River and the other caused by excessive localized rain occurred in 2015 and 2016 respectively. They caused millions of dollars in property damage. A section on either these or natural disasters in general would help flesh the article out. BGoldwater (talk) 03:49, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
