Memphis city nickname citation

Hello, I noticed that the under the nickname section of the article does not have a citation. I'm pretty sure Bluff City and the Home of the Blues should have a citation. HabeshaKid (talk) 17:49, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sister Cities International

The Sister Cities International page doesn't work. Should I remove the section? ElToAn123 (talk) 18:29, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ElToAn123: The source probably worked when the editor added it, and probably supported the cities listed when it was added. If you look around the Sister Cities website you will quickly find this source from 2019, which shows that Memphis no longer belonged to that organization. I have also been unable to locate any reliable source to support that Memphis currently has any sister cities. I'd support deleting the section. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:48, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tennessee and North Carolina are depicted on map as single state.

Noticed this error on several Wikipedia pages using this map. Don’t know where to report this map error properly. 64.67.120.195 (talk) 12:50, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Culture section

I feel as though Memphis deserves a culture section, it is a very unique city in America, including sites like Elvis’ Graceland. The Egyptian connection is somewhat unique as well: the massive bass pro shop pyramid, the University of Memphis’s renowned Egyptology department, and even the facade to their zoo is an Egyptian homage. Let me know what you think and how this section could potentially be filled out Utopiayouser (talk) 07:27, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
