I am thinking that several sections of theElizabethton, Tennessee Wiki article first needs to be "more fleshed" out pertaining to several history sections (railroad history, rayon mill-textile workers/union historty history, etc.) before GA status --- I would also like to see content pertaining to the Elizabethton city government and the city parks and rec department.
The red link for a non-existing North American Rayon Corporation should be eliminated with the addition of more detail and perhaps image files about the rayon mills section under history (be sure to follow the Tennessee Encyclopedia external links for detailed material references).4.129.71.18515:05, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
