Wanship, UtahI wrote an article for Wanship, Utah, so you can remove it from your "Articles to create" list. By the way, I really enjoy your Utah ghost town articles. Please keep up the great work, and I'll do my part when I can. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GreenGlass1972 (talk • contribs) 03:51, 7 November 2008 (UTC) Sewer Cover Barnstar

I just added another image to the article. --Wpwatchdog (talk) 15:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC) DYK for Shelldrake, Michigan--Dravecky (talk) 22:55, 13 January 2009 (UTC) Thanks for finishing the articleThanks for finishing the Silver City, Utah page.

A ghost town doesn't have to be somewhere with only ghosts in it.Skookum1 (talk) 16:14, 14 February 2009 (UTC) BC naming conventionsLOL saw your conversion of Barkley Valley, British Columbia and could only chuckle; there's an ongoing WP;Canstyle naming convention "thing" where one guideline is being enforced across the board; i.e. in the case of unique placenames, or placenames like Dawson Creek where there are no rival possibilities for an undisambiguated title, there is no comma-province. In fact, the U.S. guideline is specifically discounted in the Canadian naming convention; I've often defended the comma-province convention and was at first assured it would apply only to cities; now it's anywhere, though not applied across the board as yet. Another consideration is that only places that were postal addresses should be addressed as if they were. And Barkley Valley was not one of those; it was a community/mining camp, but it was not a town, and had no post office. Also in the case of indigenous villages which pre-existed the existence of British Columbia, e.g. Esla7an, it's improper/bad etiquette. I'm not going to revert Barkley Valley, but just noting that, curiously enough, your invocation of Wikipedia naming guidelines - apparently the guideline that, yes, is a convention for US placenames - is contrary to the Canadian naming guidelines; this was more of a locality than any kind of "address". If there's a Barkley Valley somewhere in the US or elsewhere, there is a point to the disambiguation; otherwise there is not. Why it's called Barkley Valley, as none of the creeks there are named that, I don't know; perhaps one of the original prospectors/miners.....Skookum1 (talk) 16:14, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Emil GrosswaldThanks! I was surprised to find that David Bressoud had made it all the way to being President of the MAA without anyone writing an article on him, so I wrote one. In the process I was further surprised to find that there was no article on his teacher Emil Grosswald, so I wrote that one too. I had read Grosswald's Topics from the Theory of Numbers many years ago and liked it, so I was somewhat familiar with him. --Uncia (talk) 02:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC) DYK for Hebron, UtahGatoclass (talk) 14:12, 27 February 2009 (UTC) Sinus-ShapedAsinara- clarified.

I see that the page becomes slightly longer, but that's all. Nyttend (talk) 03:55, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
OdgenThanks, by the way, for fixing the "Odgen" listings in Weber County; I'd reported them, but apparently forgot to fix them.

Alansohn (talk) 05:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC) West LaytonThanks for realising that "West Layton" was an error. This type of location pops up occasionally; I guess that the general meaning is something like "Western side of Layton". By the way, is West Bountiful also a real place? You may notice that two properties are listed in West Bountiful, and if they're just located on the western side of Bountiful, it would be good to know that. Nyttend (talk) 03:41, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
