Talk:Perry County, Tennessee/Archive 1

Overhaul
Did a major overhaul of the page yesterday and today, adding lots of content and sourcing to get it hopefully to a higher class, and reorgnaizing it in line with the WikiProject US Counties template. Please update as needed! Still want to add a bit more about the pre-European settlement history of the county, a mention of the not insignificant fossil finds in the area, and expand on the county history of the mid 20th century. nf utvol (talk) 01:13, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it's safe to bump this to B at this point. Will continue working towards GA standards.nf utvol (talk) 16:32, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree with a "B" rating. The largest county article I know of is at 90 kB; the largest non-urbanized county I know of is at 54kB. Perry County is currently at 18 kB "readable prose size", which means there is lots of room to add more things. The rules are explained at Article_size.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 20:37, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think we're about where we need to be for a GA review. I'm starting to run out of places to find good information...still wish I had more history from 1930-1990, but there just is not a lot out there on such a rural county.nf utvol (talk) 00:21, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Perry County, Tennessee
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Perry County, Tennessee's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "census": From United States Census Bureau:  From Nashville, Tennessee:  From Lawrence County, Tennessee: 2020 Population and Housing State Data | Tennessee From West Tennessee:  From North Carolina:  From List of regions of the United States:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:17, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Arithmetic
The lede says "As of the 2020 census, the population was 8,366, with an average population density of 18.6 persons per square mile". The infobox says:

"Area • Total 423 sq mi (1,100 km2) • Land 415 sq mi (1,070 km2)"

8,366 population/423 sq mi = 19.8 people per square mile. 8,366/415 (land only) is 20.2. The 18.6 figure is from reference 3, which is based on a population of 7,851 (7,851/423=18.6). According to the table at Perry County, Tennessee, 7,851 is between the census figure for 2000 and 2010. So should we use population 8,366, 7,851, or both?
