Talk:Winter Quarters Mine disaster

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Proposed Renaming

It seems that this article should be renamed Winter Quarters Mine disaster since that was the name of the mine near Scofield, Utah in which the explosion occurred on May 1, 1900. The naming convention for other mine disasters seems to always name the event after the mine or the coal field where the event took place. (See Category:Mining_disasters_in_the_United_States) I'll make the change soon if there are no objections. - Authalic 18:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it's kind of misleading in this case, since all of the sources I've seen refer to it as the Scofield mine disaster. 72.8.99.158 (talk) 18:29, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree. This article should not have been renamed. In all the references I've seen it is commonly known as the Scofield Mine Disaster. --TrustTruth (talk) 17:15, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
