I question the addition of Fort Campbell as a Tennessee town. As the Wiki article on it makes clear, the official and populated areas are in Kentucky. I don't think mere acreage on the south side of the line qualifies. RivGuySC 03:14, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Agreed. Likewise, Fort Benning has a dropzone in Alabama, but everone knows Fort Benning is in Georgia. Rklawton 07:14, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Former capitals

Jonesborough was the first capital, not Knoxville. I think Knoxville may have been the first state capital. --ZekeMacNeil 16:28, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Jonesborough was the capital of the "Lost State of Franklin," and is Tennessee's oldest city, chartered in 1779. As of statehood in 1796, Knoxville was made the first state capital of Tennessee. Drsowell 03:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

• There is a town, which is now in Montgomery County, TN, that lacked two single votes being the State Capital. This town is Palmyra, TN between Clarksville and Cumberland City, which is in Stewart County, TN. Tennessee was called Tennessee County of North Carolina until becoming a state in 1796 or so I've read. --Bookofsecrets 04:27, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Memphis Pic

Y'all need a Memphis pic to add to the city pics on the page.--Zereshk 30 June 2005 20:13 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the last Memphis picture that was on here was copyrighted so it had to be removed. Kaldari 30 June 2005 20:28 (UTC)

Too many lists

This article has way too many lists, not enough narrative. Kaldari 23:38, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

I agree, which is why I have added a cleanup tag to the top of the article. This article has very little information, and is mostly just a bunch of wikilink and lists; not very encyclopedic...Civil Engineer III 20:38, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• I moved a list to the bottom that was in the middle, but that's very true. Now it reads as a brief narrative into a mass of links. I'm not sure how to clean it up. TKE 03:37, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Department of Energy/Oak Ridge reference

Under History, the statement:

During World War II, Oak Ridge was selected as a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory, one of the principal sites for the Manhattan Project's production and isolation of weapons-grade fissile material.

is factually inaccurate. The U.S. Department of Energy was not established until 1977 by the Carter Administration. Recommend striking or correcting the statement. --Kcarlin 16:53, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Ancestry

"The five largest ancestry groups in Tennessee are: African American (17.5%), American (16.4%), Irish (9.3%), English (9.1%), German (8.3%)."

American? As in Native-American? Did I miss the memo on dropping the native?

That information was originally added by BSveen back in October 2004 without any infomation as to sources or rationale. The orginal version that he added actually said:

"The 5 largest ancestry groups in Tennessee are American (21.2%), African American (16.4%), Irish (11.3%), English (11.0%), German (10.1%)."

If he can't give an explanation of where the data comes from, I would suggest just removing it from the article. Kaldari 00:48, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

2000 Census data:[1] page 6

"The five largest ancestry groups in Tennessee are: American, (17.3); African American (13.0), Irish (9.3%), English (9.1%), German (8.3%)." American does NOT mean Indian. Rjensen 01:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I have edited the wording of the statement to more accurately reflect what was shown in the Census report. Kaldari 02:27, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Taxes

The suggestion that the overall tax burden is low in Tennessee due to the lack an income tax is clearly NPOV: that's what anti-income tax advocates claim, but it's not a factual statement. With our incredibly high sales tax, the majority of Tennesseeans pay more in taxes than we would with an income tax and a reduced sales tax. 68.47.234.131 22:28, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

fixed. Kaldari 08:43, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

What's Left for Cleanup

I'd like to see the educational and sports information moved to separate lists, but that's discretionary. I think the main thing is if the list of books is whittled down; there's plenty of books on the state but they don't all need to be listed. Other than that the mainspace is good now. TKE 01:01, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

• We have a deal. T K E 05:43, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Political section

I'm not sure that a detailed statement about where each party is strong belongs in the encylopedia, at all, but if so it needs cleaned up, this statement is somewhat misleading. "Democrats are very strong in metropolitan Memphis, Nashville, and Chattanooga. The Democratic Party is also relatively strong in most of Middle Tennessee and West Tennessee north of Memphis."

• I think the word "very" should be striken. (Non-enclopedic)
• The Memphis metropolian area is politicaly heavily polarized along racial lines. Consquently, the suburbs & exburbs are strongly Republican and most of the city is strongly Democratic.
• Yes, Democrats are strong in Metro Nashville with the exception of Williamson and Sumner counties compared to other cities suburbs.
• In Chattanooga's case, the city and inner suburbs tend Democratic while the remainer of the metro tends Republican.
• The West Tennessee north of Memphis should probably be changed to Northwest Tennesee. Jackson, TN tends to vote Republican.
• The following section on Republican strength should specificly mention Knoxville.

Joncnunn 20:27, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I think something should be written about the suburbs of Nashville. I don't know how Memphis is but Willamson is something like 80% Republican. Then again, people who work for their money and don't want it stolen usually are. Volksgeist 20:20, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Please don't be offensive

• As a Tennessean I can honestly say that I am insulted an offended at the lead paragraph. All in the historians in Western Middle Tennessee know that Governor Isham G. Harris of Paris, Tennessee nicknamed Tennessee the Volunteer State. Additionally, Tennessee is in the Southeastern United States of America. Simply saying it is a Southern State is offensive. I am deeply sincere in saying this. Please don't be offensive. --Bookofsecrets 01:35, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

• I'm also from Tennessee, but I am not offended by the opening paragraph in the least. I believe I would be hard pressed to find many people who would be. Most Tennesseeans do think of themselves as Southerners. Also, in school I was tought that the state does get its nickname from the War of 1812 and that seems to be what other sources indicate as well (although my search was brief.) --JNAllen 19:18, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

• I suggest you study your Tennessee history a bit more carefully. Governor Isham G. Harris, positively, did nickname Tennessee the Volunteer State. That came a long time after the War of 1812. It does not concern me that you are not offended. I attempted to smooth it out to say Southeastern United States which is geographical and not cultural. This article should only have geographical bearing as far as locale in the United States of America is concerned. Presently it is strictly cultural and as far as I'm concerned totally unacceptable. --Bookofsecrets 23:42, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Geographical and not Cultural

• The lead paragraph is not NPOV. Southern is cultural. Southeastern is geographical. The latter would be much more appropriate and acceptable. --Bookofsecrets 00:40, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

This article concerns the state of Tennessee - a geopolitical entity with a defined geographic location. Hence, Southeastern in the lead paragraph is not only acceptable; it is the only logical choice. Rklawton 07:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

I have edited the lead paragraph for NPOV purposes. It is currently more appropriate. Thanks, --Bookofsecrets 06:12, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

yes but the state has been Southern since 1796 and will probably remain that way for a spell. Rjensen 06:18, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• It is a Southeastern State. In today's society Southern is cultural and not geographical. Please keep this article NPOV.--Bookofsecrets 06:29, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

You need sources for that assertion. The state is included in every listing of the southern states. Rjensen 06:36, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

It is also included in every listing of Southeasterns states, thereby making the designation Southeastern significantly more accurate. Rklawton 07:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• It is not appropriate. Today Southern is used for cultural destinction and has racist overtones. This article is becoming controversial. --Bookofsecrets 06:38, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

If Bookofsecrets wants to be taken seriously he must have some sources. otherwise his own opinions count as "original research" and are not allowed in Wiki. Start with this: ONE serious reference book that says Tenn is not southern. Rjensen 06:43, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

AAA lists TN as a Southeastern state. Rklawton 07:26, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

POV

• I have placed POV on this article because certain editors are attempting to promote inappropriate and biased views.--Bookofsecrets 06:47, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Southern state?

here's a citation from liberal magazine "New Republic": "Congressman Harold Ford suddenly has a real chance of winning--and becoming the first black senator from the South to be elected since 1874." [12.16.2005] Proof that the blacks consider Tennessee to be South. [www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=w051212&s=risen121605] Foxnews: " Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala., who with Ford is a member of the CBC and among the House’s southern black representatives... Ford has “positioned himself as a centrist,” Davis said. “I think it will enable him to break out of the pack that black Democrats are pushed to in the South.”[2] Newsweek March 27, 2006 issue - "Ford wants to be the first black senator from the South since Reconstruction." [www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11903425/site/newsweek/] --the point is that whites and blacks alike call tenn South--no racism there. Rjensen 07:07, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• What Harold Ford wants is not the issue here. Keeping this and other article NPOV in the only issue here. --Bookofsecrets 07:14, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Southeastern is not only more geographically specific, but it also has less POV baggage than Southern. Therefore, it becomes incombant upon Rjensen to explain how Southern is somehow a more suitable choice. A couple of usage citations are mere anecdote and doesn't stack up against the logic already presented. Rklawton 07:19, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• I agree with you User:Rklawton. Citing Harold Ford, if anything, damages his argument. I won't go into that, but all articles need to be as NPOV as humanly possible. --Bookofsecrets 07:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

In fact the AAA Auto Club South was established as a Florida corporation in 1938 and now covers the areas of Florida, Georgia, the western two-thirds of Tennessee with hq in Nashville (check Google). Rjensen 07:30, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• Where AAA is based has nothing whatsoever to do with this article complying with Wikipedia NPOV policy. --Bookofsecrets 07:36, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• User:Rklawton and I are merely trying to keep negative bias from this article. Negative bias has no place in any article on Wikipedia. Please be NPOV. Thanks, --Bookofsecrets 07:46, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

You base your theory on a road map that says nothing about POV or racism. That's fraud. Rjensen 07:56, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

You asked for a source, and I provided one, it just happened to be one I had on hand by my desk. If you don't think TN is in the southeast, please say so. Lastly, since you don't disagree that Southeastern is more accurate, and since you don't disagree that Southeastern is less POV than Southern, I think you should drop your objections. Rklawton 14:03, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• You need to remember the N in NPOV is neutral, not NO. Neutrality is maintained by giving a range of points of view proportionate to their prevelance. --pgk^(talk) 16:05, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't have time to throw myself into an argument right now, as I'm busy studying for finals, but FWIW, I agree with Rjensen. There's nothing offensive or inappropriate about calling either Alabama or Tennessee "Southern" states. Bookofsecrets's argument does not hold water. "The South" is not a solely cultural term, but is also a recognizable geographic entity, and has been for well over two centuries. While "southeastern" may be technically correct in strictly geographic terms, I think it's important not to remove these states from their historical and cultural context without good reason. And what reason is there? What is there that's not neutral about calling the region what it is? It's no different than saying that Massachusetts is in New England or that Kansas is in the Midwest. New England, the Midwest, and the South are all widely recognized geographic regions and are more descriptive than a strictly technical definition. That's my one cent; you can expect the other when I have more time. —LonelyPilgrim 01:09, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

You raise some really good points, and it's great to hear from a new voice. I agree with your logic but not your conclusion. Specifically, I find your logic about not dissociating Tennessee (and other former Confederate States by extension) from its historical roots very compelling. We mustn't rewrite history! However, consider this. This is an article about TN, a modern entity. And I'd like to see the main section of the article focus on TN as it is and not as it was. The South is indeed "history" as you put it. Therefore, I propose keeping the "southern" references in related parts of this article's history section. It also remains part of Tennessee's culture, and so references to that aspect of Tennessee belong there as well. However, to put "southern" in the top of the article would simply be creating an unfortunately anachronism. And that's really all this discussion has been about.

I also understand your point about not finding the term "southern" offensive. There was a time when I flew the Confederate flag – for no other reason than I thought it was a really cool looking flag. Little did I appreciate at the time how other people felt about that flag, what it had grown to symbolize for them. For me, it was just a neat design and nothing more. And that, I think is one of the points I'd like to make here. It's not whether some folks don’t find the term "southern" problematical. It's true, some don't. But it's a hard cold fact that some people really do find it problematical. Some may wonder why, but why isn't the issue. The issue is that it is indeed a problem for some. And in the case of the main body of this article, it's an entirely avoidable problem – and that's what matters. There's nothing offensive about stating that TN is in the Southeastern part of the United States, yet it's that very statement to which RJensen objects. Rklawton 01:28, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. I don't think "the South" or "Southern" are anachronistic terms at all; they are not "history." The South existed as an identifiable region well before the Civil War, and continues to exist as such to this day. When I hear that term, I don't think immediately of the sectional conflict or the war. The South is my home, and even detached from its history, it's a unique geographic and cultural entity in the present. We have Southern literature, Southern cuisine, and many other cultural items associated with the South as a modern region. I think you missed my major point that the South is no different as a region than the Midwest or New England. The fact that the South is associated in history with the Confederacy is only incidental to its definition as a modern region. I don't know if you've noticed, but Bookofsecrets seems to have a personal agenda against any mention of "the South" or "Southerner," calling them "negative" and "insulting," and has attempted to remove them from the articles of every Southern state, not just Tennessee and Alabama. If anybody here has a point of view, I'd say it's him. —LonelyPilgrim 01:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Since it's troublesome to some folks, and since the recommended replacement (in the main body of the article) is technically more accurate, then there should be no problems. All the references you bring up are fully appropriate - and belong in the various sections under but not within the main body. The "personal agenda" you describe is called "consistency" and that's certainly a positive goal for Wikipedia's articles. Rklawton 02:45, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

To whom is the term "Southern" troublesome? Can you please cite examples? In all my years, I've never heard of this. I've also never heard the term "Southeastern United States" used as a defined geographic region. And please don't cite the AAA map; if that's the only source you have, you're standing on pretty flimsy ground. Technically more accurate isn't necessarily more accurate overall, and isn't necessarily better. I'm of the opinion that "Southern" is more descriptive of the region in which the state resides — a region, as I've previously stated, which defines Tennessee culturally as well as geographically. In this sense, "Southern" is the superior term. In the present revision, there's not even a link to this region, which severs the state from its cultural context and makes the entry significantly less useful. As for Bookofsecrets's personal agenda, I was refering to his unreasonably hostile attitude toward these terms. And as for consistency, I think you'll find across the board that "the South" and "Southern" are by far the most prevalent terms used in refering to this region of the country. They are used in the introductions of every other Southern state, in numerous other articles here, elsewhere on the Internet, in scholarly writings, in the news media, in popular usage; among people of all races, backgrounds, and political persuasions — essentially everywhere. To suggest otherwise is without foundation, and to seek to remove these terms in the name of neutrality or consistency is absurd. —LonelyPilgrim 03:18, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

The NPOV dispute

Regarding the 1st issue: Both "Southern" and "Southeastern" are correct and I see no POV issue here. Yes, "Southern" has definite cultural connotations, however, NPOV does not mean "remove anything that has cultural connotations". Seeing as how "Southeastern" is equally appropriate, I have substituted "Southeastern" to address your concern (however exagerrated it may be). I do not understand why you did not make this change yourself, rather than trying to stir up such a bruhaha.

Regarding the 2nd issue: You may be correct that Governor Isham G. Harris officially proclaimed Tennessee the "Volunteer State", however, that is not the reason Tennessee is known by this nickname. Tennessee is known as the Volunteer State primarily due to its role in the War of 1812. I can cite dozens of sources for this if you wish, but I think the citation from the State Archives that I have added to the article should be sufficient.

Unless you have any further POV concerns, I will remove the NPOV tag tomorrow. Kaldari 16:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Reverted Again

I have reverted back to my last edit of the lead paragraph. The other one, true or not, was not the main issue. The use of "Southern" in place of Southeastern was the main issue. An example would be, "Tennessee is a Celtic state in the United States or an American Indian state in the United States". "Southern" in this context is totally cultural and totally inappropriate. --Bookofsecrets 19:10, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

My change was to "Southeastern", just as you suggested. I am reverting back, as not only is your reason for reverting completely bogus, but you also reverted over several other edits besides the one you are concerned with. If you continue to troll on this issue, you will be blocked. I am not interested in playing games here. Kaldari 19:18, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• Then if you are not interested in playing games leave the game. My reasons are not "Bogus" as you say. "Southern" in cultural, period, in the 21st Century. I wrote the lead paragraph to sound modern and positive. Please refrain from further disruption here. --Bookofsecrets 19:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• • Your reason is completely bogus. MY VERSION USES "SOUTHEASTERN"!!! Why don't you look at the edit before you revert it. Kaldari 19:28, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• I will leave it as you have edited it. But nothing about what I've been presenting is "Bogus" and I desire that you refrain from the tone with me. It is insulting and inappropriate. --Bookofsecrets 19:32, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Insulting! Why of all the gall! I've been editing and improving this article for years (look at my barnstars if you have any doubts). You could have just come in here and made a simple edit from "Southern" to "Southeastern", but instead you apparently have some kind of chip on your shoulder and came in here looking to pick a fight instead. And even though I didn't agree with your argument, I decided to accept your point and use "Southeastern" instead of "Southern". And for this act of civility and compromise I get not only the intro reverted, but all the other work I did on the article today. I understand if this debate has left you anxious and short-tempered, but do not let that interfere with your ability to constructively work with other editors, especially editors who have put a lot more work into this article than you have. As we both apparently feel insulted now, I suggest we call a truce, and try to work calmly towards any future improvement of this article. Kaldari 19:50, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• Point well taken and accepted. I apologize. --Bookofsecrets 19:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• • This is a strange dispute indeed. The word "southern" has a primarily geographical meaning. The cultural associations tied up with that word are, of course, vivid and complex - both positive and negative, and an abundance of things too complicated to be so polarized. To presume that the connotation of "southern" is negative, or that the connotations of "southern" exist independently from the connotations of "Tennessee" or "Alabama", such that "neutrality" can be improved by removing the term seems to constitute a very particular, perhaps singly-held point of view. I do not agree with it and I empathize with Kaldari on this matter. --Dystopos 04:21, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• I see it has been changed from Southeastern to Southern once again. All of you can look foolish if you so desire. I reside in the Southeastern United States of America. The "OLD SOUTH" is deceased and I'm very happy that it is. --Bookofsecrets 12:36, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• • The word "Southern" is accurate and the idea that it carries only long-gone and negative connotations is unfounded. You are free to have your own opinion, but it is not proper to cite Wikipedia's policy to support it; nor is it proper (and for this, I can appeal to policy) to revert the work of editors acting in good faith in order to push your own point of view. --Dystopos 13:05, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Negative Connotations Valid

• The word "Southern" is accurate and the idea that it carries only long-gone and negative connotations is unfounded. This is simply your opinion of the situation. I've grown way beyond those narrow-minded concepts long ago. I reside in the Southeastern United States of America and in the great state of Tennessee. "Southern" does have serious negative connotations whether you agree or not. In my line of employment I meet people from numerous walks of life and from around the globe. I've learned that their are sincerely honest and good people from everywhere on Earth. I've further learned that their are unsavory individuals from everywhere on Earth. The unsavory ones give the sincere and honest ones a bad name and this is most unfortunate. "Southern", in the 21st Century, is almost totally a cultural concept. Say you live in Louisiana, you live in the Gulf-Coast Region. Say you live in Washington, you live in the Northwest Region. These other regions do not carry the negative connotations that "Southern" and "The South" do. Why? Because certain Pro-Southern organizations, Pro-White Supremists' organizations, etc are pushing their sick agenda's. They promote cultural genocide and I have seen this first hand. It is insulting to me and a great many others. I have no desire to be compared or included amongst these organizations and/or individuals. It is not who I am. I was attempting to edit in order to make those articles less negative and less racial in tone. Since there are people on wikipedia from all over the globe we should strive to create articles that are very neutral. "Southern" is not neutral, "Southeastern" is. --Bookofsecrets 14:23, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• Bookofsecrets, this is getting utterly ridiculous. To be as neutral and correct as possible, look to the U.S. Census Bureau. According to their map [[3]], Tennessee is in the "South" Region and the "East South Central" Division. If you really want it correct, use this terminology. Otherwise you are pushing an agenda, here and at other state's articles, which is not appreciated or necessary. Alternatively, go take on the Bureau! Civil Engineer III 15:38, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• Civil Engineer III, I will not take on the Bureau of Census. Frankly, I would not throw a bucket of water on them if they were blazing. In other words, how they determine where I live is a moot point with me. There are many things the government does that is moot with me. Those are other issues that I'm not at liberty to voice on wikipedia. My employment has everything to do with tourism. In the tourism trade it is "Southeastern" not "Southern". It is that way to keep down negativity. --Bookofsecrets 17:13, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• • I also reside in the Southeastern United States of America, in the great state of Alabama. "Southern" does have all kinds of connotations -- serious and silly, negative and positive, founded and unfounded -- whether you agree or not. In my line of employment I also meet people from numerous walks of life and from around the globe. There are certainly honest and good people as well as unsavory individuals everywhere on earth. People with common sense can see that the Southern region of the United States is capable of a rich and diverse culture, not limited to or defined by certain hate groups that have latched onto symbols of the old south. In the end, your campaign to eliminate the word "Southern" is without merit. Palermo is still in Sicily regardless of the popular perception of Sicilians. Antwerp is in Flanders regardless of popular perception of the Flemish, and Tennessee is still in the South regardless of the popular perception of Southerners. --Dystopos 16:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• As long as "Southern" is used in a geographical manner I can somewhat be satisfied. If it is used in the manner of "Old South", racists', etc etc. Then I find it detestable, insulting, and degrading. Those who view "Southern" in the latter I deem as foolish in their ideals. They are free to look as foolish as they choose. However, I will not go any further with this as I see I'm spinning my wheels in the mud. I have a goal to bring Tennessee and other Southeastern states into the 21st Century regardless of what certain individuals think. --Bookofsecrets 17:07, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• • What is it about the following sentence "Tennessee is a Southern state of the United States, and the sixteenth state to join the union." that makes you think the word "southern" is being used in the manner of "'Old South', racists', etc etc."? That's the sentence you keep changing, and have labeled as a violation of NPOV. I could understand the need for change if the opening was "Tennessee was a state in the Confederate States of America and the 10th to secede from the United States in 1861". Although factual, it has nothing to do with Tennessee today. Being in the south, even in the 21st century, has everything to do with Tennessee today. If all you see in "the South" is racism, then I suggest opening your eyes. --Dystopos 18:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
