History
Why does it start with the liquor rules? Is that the most important or encyclopedic thing to know about a small town? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sajita (talk • contribs) 00:40, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Why does "history" begin with the Civil War? Shouldn't it begin with the founding of the town? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sajita (talk • contribs) 00:42, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

"Zoning controversy"
The above two points seem to have been addressed.

This section oscillates unpredictably between a "place of worship" and a mosque. Surely, if (as the quoted resident implies) the fact that a mosque was proposed, then it should start and stick with that point?

Murder news
A recent BBC news article seems likely to raise the profile of this town, with dark hints of a drug-dealing underculture, murders, rape and (at best) police incompetence. Controversy seems a safe prediction. Aidan Karley (talk) 12:57, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Statement in the article: "The state completed the suppression of competition by disenfranchising blacks at the turn of the 20th century."
Neither Kentucky nor any of the other border states disenfranchised African Americans as the article contends. There were other forms of oppression, but disenfranchisement was not one of them.

Source: Wikipedia article: "Disenfranchisement after the Reconstruction Era."

This article begins: "Disenfranchisement after the Reconstruction Era[1] in the United States of America was based on a series of laws, new constitutions, and practices in the South that were deliberately used to prevent black citizens from registering to vote and voting. These measures were enacted by the former Confederate states at the turn of the 20th century, and by Oklahoma when it gained statehood in 1907,[2] although not by the former border slave states."

Use of term " union sympathizer"
This term is biased, derogatory and inflammatory. Should use clear and neutral term "union loyalist" or "pro unionist". 24.113.145.157 (talk) 18:38, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
