Charlotte is the 6th Largest Metro in the Southeast, not the 5th. Orlando is the 5th, someone needs to change that —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikeef74 (talk • contribs) 00:12, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Page needs some clean-up; I'll work on it some if others can participate. As always, some clarity must be made between "official," "popular" and "promotional" definitions of the area.

I've attempted to stick with official formats here, and the Triangle, Triad, Upstate SC and Atlanta pages have been good referents. The Atlanta metro page has sections on weather, natural history & storms (I have some research on this that would pertain to the Charlotte area; I've done tornado research for NC/SC; have begun winter storm research, and other people have covered the hurricanes), geography and landscape and a handful of other features that would fit well here.

I want to break the lists into columns to keep them from running too long as well at some point.

If any other contributors can find some public domain or user-created pics to accompany sections, that would be excellent - a stadium pic, a skyline pic, a Crowder's Mountain, Lowes Speedway, one of the big lakes, a historical site like Latta Plantation, one of the campuses, the African-American Cultural Center could all be candidates.

I'll try to reserach the demographics and diversity - it would be nice to flesh that out a little more; ditto for the business and corporate side of the city.

Strange redirect
How can the name of a small city in Minas Gerais, Brazil, be re-directed to the Charlotte Metropolitan area?Vogensen (talk) 08:42, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Since no one even bothered replying to the comment and its nearing being three years old i have now corrected the redirect.If anyone has a problem with that just post it in here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.114.54.101 (talk) 20:00, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Primary cities
What defines "primary cities?" The list seems to be decided arbitrarily based on a formula that eludes me, and indeed may be editorial in nature. Would it not be better to do away with this designation and simply place all but the anchor city in the "over 10,000" category instead? The alternative would be to place all of the micropolitan cities in the list, which would seem to be the intent behind the "primary" designation. Go2dell (talk) 06:22, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Location
Just a friendly note: The coordinates are incorrect and point to somewhere in south america — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.188.152 (talk) 17:14, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the input. The coordinates were already corrected over a week ago on Nov. 23, 2011. It must have been still showing the old page at a mirror copy from some other site that hadn't updated their page, yet. Else, clear your browser cache and revisit the page. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 19:24, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Economy
Why can Charlotte not have it's own "Economy of Charlotte" page? I'm aware Charlotte's economy is discussed on the Charlotte metropolitan area page, but the criteria can be expanded as other cities (Atlanta, Cincinnati, ect) have done. Do you have a problem with Charlotte? Gaknowitall (talk) 22:22, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
