PROBLEM WITH METRO POPULATION.

SORRY, I'M NOT A WIKI EDITOR, SO EXCUSE MY BAD DISCUSSION EDDICT. BUT I WANT TO BRING THE FOLLOWING TO THE ATTENTION OF YOU EXPERTS. THANK YOU.

As of 2008, the Charlotte Metropolitan Area had a population of 2,491,650.[1] OKAY, THIS FIGURE NEEDS TO BE RECONCILED WITH THE OFFICAL METRO DESIGNATION BY THE U.S. CENSUS. THAT FIGURE SHOWS A POPULATION OF ---- #37 Charlotte–Gastonia–Concord NC–SC 1,583,016 ------. THIS COMES FROM WIKIPEDIA PAGE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_metropolitan_areas A resident of Charlotte is referred to as a Charlottean (/ˌʃarləˈtiːən/). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.63.179.196 (talk) 02:38, 9 January 2008‎ (UTC)[reply]

No reference for some of Roads and Highways Section

I am going to remoce the following quote from the actaul page soon:

"Charlotte area road conditions are not rated well. In a recent October 2006 study by tripnet.org, an organization that monitors road conditions nationwide, only 58% of Charlotte area roads were rated "good." In contrast, 88% of Atlanta area roads are rated "good." [42] Charlotte's share of good roads has fallen dramatically in recent years. Deteriorating road conditions cost Charlotte area drivers almost $200 per year in additional operating costs. [43]"

The same person who wrote this negative fact is the same person who wrote extreamly positive facts about Atlanta's highways. Surprised? However, that aside, it is not referenced properly either. So I will set it up for speedy deleation soon if the right source refernce is not placed there. With much respect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daritto7117 (talk • contribs) 18:10, 19 April 2008

Mass Transit connotations

Assuming I have no disagreements on this, I plan to modify the section describing CATS service. The wording used currently seems to try to put transit systems in an overly positive light. I think that the wording here is not neutral. Intelqual (talk) 23:12, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hitlerstadt??

Ok saw this on Simpsons(s15e21) Just wanna confirm it...Charlotte was never named Hitler-Stadt/Town? Lasse Miranda (talk) 19:16, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

City of Trees

I've removed this as a bona fide nickname as it does not appear to be such. The source given was a plug for the urban forest, common to many cities, and e.g. this suggests that it is not a real nickname. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 04:52, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You did the right thing. The editor that added it obviously ignored the note that says needing consensus for all nicknames, which would include any new ones. --WashuOtaku (talk) 06:01, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
