"non-voting"

The spelling "nonvoting" as the adjective is greatly preferred in English to "non-voting". See the authoritative dictionary https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nonvoting. I'm reverting only this one change you made 21:36, 23 April 2022‎. Milkunderwood (talk) 00:33, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I left the text in the article exactly as-is. I made that change to correct a broken link, not to correct text in the article. Regardless of how the word is spelled, the article to which the link directs is located at "Non-voting members of the United States House of Representatives" and therefore the link needed to direct there, rather than directing to a redlink for which an article already exists. Issues with the spelling of the target article should be taken up on the talk page for that respective article. 🚫 Lɪᴠᴇs ⬅️ 〈^Nᴇᴡ _Tᴀʟᴋ〉 06:18, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. That page is also misspelled, but I'm too tired to get into a Move fight over it. Milkunderwood (talk) 21:27, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of ghost towns in Rhode Island moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of ghost towns in Rhode Island, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. scope_creep^Talk 14:11, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The content lacked sources before I moved it from the page at list of ghost towns in the United States to list of ghost towns in Rhode Island. I've now added sources to each ghost town on the list; however, as I am not the one who originally added these ghost towns to the list (I only moved the section to a new article), the sources may be inadequate as they may not be (and likely aren't) the original sources used. 🚫 Lɪᴠᴇs ⬅️ 〈^Nᴇᴡ _Tᴀʟᴋ〉 05:11, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of Ghost Towns in Indiana (Brayton)

I only found one source of Brayton existing (http://www.hendcogen.org/photos/corinth_church.html), besides that, there isnt much about it. You were wondering about it and I wanted to let you know! DannonCool (talk) 00:32, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@DannonCool: How goes it. Yes, I figured. I know how your getting on. It is very difficult to find this kind of stuff. I started on a list of highland clearence villages (in Scotland) that had been cleared during the clearences about 10-15 year ago, or more. I took a ton of time to just to make a wee list and eventually came up with a idea to raise some money and employee a professional historian. I left a note on my user but not looked at it since. Archives are your best bet, like the internet archive or google books. If there is nothing there, then visits to real libraries, churches, guilds, all these folk that keep records. The local university is another good place to ask for help. They will put onto the local historian group, or a local group and so on. Hope that helps. scope_creep^Talk 11:44, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
