Changes to article 4/21/2007

I rewrote the intro, with a better description of Tuckaleechee Cove and its relation to the city of Townsend. Other changes:

1. Removed the statement regarding Cartwright's. I couldn't find a source, and without a published source, the statement could be considered libelous.

2. Added a more extensive history section detailing the town's Cherokee history and its history as a logging camp.

3. Added a more detailed description of US-321 as it passes through Townsend.

The article also needs a better source for the two THC marker citations.

Geology

The text gives "These windows form when erosional forces carry away the older rocks (mostly sandstone), exposing the younger rock below (i.e., limestone)." This is counter-intuitive. There's probably a need to explain why the older layers are on top of the younger layers. Bill 01:34, 9 February 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bill Willis (talk • contribs)

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Townsend, Tennessee/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

==Importance==

Low importance. As a smaller town the topic of this article is of mostly local interest.

==Quality== Start class. Sub headers are used to structure the information, the article has an introduction, images are present and references are used.

==Comments==

This article could be a candidate for a B-class article if the geography section was expanded and all facts were sourced. (e.g. "Dubbing itself ..." in paragraph 3 of the introduction does not have a reference)
