Little League World Series teams
Wasn't there a team in the late 90s from Morristown who advanced to the Little League World Series, but was eliminated pretty early? I think it was around the 1997-1998. I remember the game airing on EPSN2, and seeing Matthew Spencer, who now plays MLB baseball, pitching. The left fielder and center fielder collided during the game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:5:B80:79:751F:15FD:3359:4974 (talk) 12:44, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Collage
I'm not sure this article needs a photo collage in the infobox, as the standard practice has been to include these only for major cities (at least for US articles). Some of these photos might better serve their purposes if included in the relevant sections in the article. Bneu2013 (talk) 14:25, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree. One photo in the infobox.  If others don't fit or are duplicates, they can be viewed in the Commons. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:12, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Intro - Daytime population
I am pretty sure the daytime population stat in the intro is incredibly inaccurate. It swells by 18k from what the Mayor has said, not 118k. I believe the Forbes source is a typo. 170.142.177.236 (talk) 11:31, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Photo of a tombstone
User:AppalachianCentrist has been edit warring to insert this photo of a tombstone into this article about a city. A consensus of editors have agreed that "Images must be significant and relevant in the topic's context, not primarily decorative", per MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE. This article isn't about cemetary, or about Gideon Morris (where this image is also located). The input of others would be appreciated. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:33, 26 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Gideon Morris is the founder of Morristown, and this is the only free-use picture regarding him. I would imagine having some picture regarding the founder of Morristown would significant given the context of the person.
 * I suppose you woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning, so kindly take your disruptive behavior and attitude elsewhere before I decide to report you to administrative personnel.
 * Thanks, AppalachianCentrist (talk) 22:43, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The image is decorative and unnecessary. It also violates MOS:TEXTASIMAGES. --Magnolia677 (talk) 23:35, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * , Personal attacks are disruptive. Personal attacks are contrary to the spirit and damaging to the work of building an encyclopedia. Please discuss the issue at hand and avoid this kind of language against another editor. No image in an article is better than inserting one because it is the only one available. Readers can click through to his article to see the tombstone. Carry on and please continue to work to improve the encyclopedia. 〜 Adflatuss  •  talk  02:53, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Adflatuss
 * No need to worry about me anymore, as I am permanently retiring from editing Wikipedia effective as of today.
 * I have asked a peer of mine to finish some of my work on articles that I was working on making to GA status.
 * Have a good day and a Happy New Year, AppalachianCentrist (talk) 03:04, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I would omit it, since it is not illustrative of Morristown, nor of its founder. It may be appropriate for the Gideon Morris article, but even that is contestable. It is rare for us to have gravesite images, unless there is something noteworthy about it in and of itself – an interesting work of art or extravagance, a site of "pilgrimage" by fans, etc. E.g., we have them at both Elvis Presley and Jim Morrison for the latter reason, and at Jules Verne for the former. The one at Robert Falcon Scott is worth including for being both unusual and pertinent to his (and Edward Adrian Wilson's and Henry Robertson Bowers's) Antarctic expeditionary demise. We don't need one at, say, Rosalynn Carter or Silvio Berlusconi, at which such considerations are not likely to apply. Does lack of an actual portrait of Morris produce any greater utility for including a picture of a very normal gravestone? I remain skeptical. Anyway, it's certainly not pertinent at the town article.  As for all the dramatics above, see WP:HIGHMAINT, especially the section on threats to quit.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  12:26, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

National Weather Service
If it isn't mentioned in the article yet, should it be added that there is a National Weather Service office in Morristown? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 16:42, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
