I am interested in adding some material to Altus's page. What kind of information need to be added and I will see what I can do. Thanks Justbulldog (talk) 15:57, 15 July 2009 (UTC)\[reply]

Although fascinating that Altus is an anagram of Tulsa, the name comes from the latin for "high or elevated". This relates to the resettlement of the original community from the flood waters of the Red River to a location on higher ground. - James T. Ottman, Altus Native

I'm curious why all 4 notable people listed are all football players. I know at least one former Mrs. Oklahoma, and one Olympian are from the town. In fact, Mrs. Garrison-Thunderbird USED to be listed. 69.8.50.17 (talk) 00:06, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that a big chunk of the "History" section was copied and pasted out of library materials. Anyone with sufficient local knowledge to clean it up? 66.85.173.7 (talk) 07:35, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

History section says: "The city has seen relatively steady growth since the beginning. "

Demographics section shows population decline in every census since 1980.

This is clearly a contradiction. Would anyone object to removing the "steady growth" sentence based on the census data? Vultur~enwiki (talk) 21:59, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

After 3 months with no comments, I have removed the clearly incorrect "relatively steady growth" sentence. It was not true even before 1980; the census data in the article shows a small decline 1910-1920 and very dramatic growth around 100% 1920-1930 and 1950-1960.
