[edit] No problem
I saw your comment on the project talk page so I thought I'd do it since there weren't that many. I completely understand your perspective about assessing articles you've worked on, I am the same way. IvoShandor (talk) 23:49, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Lutesville, Missouri
Hello. I see that you added Lutesville, Missouri to the Ghost town project a few months ago; as that term is defined in that article, Lutesville doesn't qualify, although there are many small towns and named places nearby that do. Lutesville is very much still a populated place, and its population is probably higher now than ever before; it is "defunct" only in the sense that it no longer exists as a political entity; it is now part of Marble Hill, Missouri. It certainly doesn't qualify as a "ghost town" in the classical sense of the phrase. I'm going to remove the project banner from Lutesville's talk page. If you feel that this action is an error or otherwise wish to discuss this with me, a response either here or on my talk page will work. Thanks and happy editing!

- I understand what you did and why. Certainly Lutesville isn't a ghost town per se, but the article does fit within the scope of Wikipedia:WikiProject Ghost towns. I quote, "The project covers all articles about ghost towns and defunct settlements. This is to include any towns or municipalities which were absorbed by another entity." Sorry about the confusion.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Boris Aronov
A tag has been placed on Boris Aronov requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. LegoTech·(t)·(c) 07:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Forest City, Utah DYK nom
Hi Ntsimp - there is a question over this DYK nom's hook which I request you to answer. The hook source doesn't specifically say it was "4 miles short." And the wording is a bit awkward - connecting what to the smelter at Forest City? Please respond at the nomination statement at T:TDYK. Vishnava talk

[edit] Home of Truth
I am always interested when someone discovers the Home of Truth. I am just beginning a masters thesis project on Marie Ogden and the Home of Truth. How did you come across the topic? (if you don't mind my asking.) Are you from San Juan County? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.187.0.164 (talk) 00:10, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- I was just looking for interesting ghost towns to write articles on, and I found the short piece (just over a column) on Home of Truth in Some Dreams Die. So I started hunting for more information. If you can contribute more to the article, or suggest more good sources, please do. And no, I'm from the Wasatch Front. Ntsimp (talk) 02:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

The photo request was for an image of the town, not the rock...~ WikiDon (talk) 21:15, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
