Population Estimates

There were no official census numbers for 2012 census according to census.gov, so I reverted to the 2011 official estimates. It is the most reliable source— Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.117.56.84 (talk • contribs) 02:44, 9 May 2013‎ (UTC)[reply]

Bad Source

Source 29 doesn't say anything relevant about the beginning population of the town or how quickly it grew in seven years. It's often quoted That in seven years (from 1833) the population grew to 7,000. The article says 4,000 and the source doesn't back anything whatsover up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.206.141.210 (talk) 14:53, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Busiest airport in the world"?

A sentence in the second paragraph of the lead claims O'Hare is the world's busiest airport, which, while true if the measure is aircraft movements, is nonetheless misleading in that the world's busiest airport according to most passengers annually is, and has been since 1998, Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport. In the wake of O'Hare's leaping over Hartsfield-Jackson by aircraft movements in March 2015, most major media outlets reported that ATL is still the "world's busiest passenger airport" (CNN) and "likely gets the overall nod [over ORD because] ... [m]any industry observers consider passenger counts—not flights—to be the best barometer in saying which airport is the world's 'busiest.'" USA Today. The New York Times reported that only "some news reports, mainly in Chicago, declared O'Hare as the world's busiest." Should we not clarify that it is the world's busiest airport by aircraft movements or by one measure? —GEORGIAN ^{Go Dogs} 09:05, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the word "busiest" used here is a bit volatile. Can be valid once, not valid after.--65.220.39.79 (talk) 11:43, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
