Complete revamping

My goal is to clearly define North Carolina's regions. Western NC is synonymous with the "Mountain" region of the state, so I'm going to try to incorporate that into this article. Also, I plan to include a map of the region and mention and/or merge similar region terms like Land of the Sky into this article and explain their etymology. Adding sections, cities listing, and basically making it like the other region articles: Piedmont Triad, Inner Banks, Outer Banks, The Triangle (North Carolina), Charlotte metropolitan area, Hampton Roads, etc etc. This may take a week or so at minimum for a small editor like me, so if you have additional info to add and/or suggestions, feel free to edit in. --TinMan 06:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

--I included Waynesville, NC into the "towns with 10,000+" list. As of January, the town lists it's official population as 10,087 residents. --outinthered

Wrong Cities Listed?

The article lists cities such as Hickory, Taylorsville, and Shelby as being a part of Western North Carolina, yet both maps of the region included in the article do not include any of these cities as a part of the region. It looks as if some of the cities and towns included as a part of Western North Carolina go outside the boundaries listed in the maps, and this problem should be addressed.
