Just wanted to let you know a couple of things: first of all, when you've written an article, if you add it to categories then it makes it easier to sort. Have a look at the categories I've added to some of your articles for an example. Also, when writing an article like the one you just did on Wilson, the title is generally given as "Wilson, Pushmataha County, Oklahoma" as opposed to "Wilson, Oklahoma (Pushnamataha County)". Otherwise, your articles look great - keep up the good work! --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:42, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LOC images

I have revised the image info for some of your Library of Congress uploads because none of the links worked, and there was neither a LOC template {{LOC-image}} nor the proper copyright tag which is a requirement for all images. Please try to complete this information in any future or other uploads from the LOC. Incidentally because many LOC images being in the public domain, should be uploaded to the commons where all wikis can use them. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 03:35, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

Hi Oklahombre, and thanks for your additions here. I know nothing of Oklahoma (never been West of Chicago), so this was all new to me. The idea of having to rearrange the county boundaries before statehood was a particularly interesting read and I've learned a lot already.

I saw your comments re Jenson Tunnel too. Some of the problem here is WP's insistence on sourcing: see WP:RS, WP:V. Whilst this stuff is certainly important, and an over-insistence on it with bulk reversions of the most geographically self-evident facts is most annoying, it's still how we're set up here. WP:RS is one of the most rigorously enforced policies here (even though it isn't even a policy) and nothing is likely to shift that. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:56, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can't place Jenson Tunnel into Sans Bois County though. Wouldn't this require the tunnel to be north west of Skullyville? It seems to be to the south east instead. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:21, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Same?

Is Owl, Oklahoma the same as Centrahoma? The history of Centrahoma states that it was previously named Owl. 115.188.140.167 (talk) 09:44, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for asking! I checked the Coal County Register, a newspaper founded in Owl, and see in the issue of August 16, 1907 (three months prior to statehood) several references to the change from Owl to Centrahoma. However, the newspaper's account of the reason why conflicts with the account published in the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, so I am removing the page, as I can't reconcile the two accounts. (The former says it was a change of names to account for the U.S. government townsite by the same name 2.5 miles away. The latter says the town shifted location when the MK&T railroad changed its local route. My article was relying on the Encyclopedia, and it may be incorrect.)
