Hiawatha, Utah edit

Your last edit to Hiawatha, Utah removed essentially two statements. Do you dispute that ANR Inc. is owned by the Latter Day Church of Christ, that the town is under reconstruction, or both? Ntsimp (talk) 23:36, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

This is Mark Reynolds, yes I do dispute that. The reference given was the UDOGM permit #. Nothing in that permit # or the permit says that. If you can find a reference proving it is owned by the church then I will leave the statements in there.

As far as my edits on the reconstruction. I am the engineer overseeing it. No reconstruction is going on. Some remodeling of 4 house took place, also no stores are being used as houses. We are constructing a new subdivision in the area. In the near future I would like to restore some of the historic mining area (The stores boarding houses, and church) However I have not secured funds for that so can not guarantee anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.111.124.62 (talk) 23:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the information. The stuff about reconstruction and stores was added by an anonymous user in October 2007, back when the article was a tiny stub, and before I had worked on it at all. No source was ever given, and it's really no problem to remove it. But it's important to explain in your edit summaries why you're making the changes that you're making. If you have more information to add from published reliable sources, feel free. Ntsimp (talk) 00:33, 1 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I know nothing of the disputes involved, legal or otherwise. The web page I linked is already cited as a source in the Latter Day Church of Christ article. I'm not making any claims here. I like to edit ghost town articles, but I haven't been to most of the places I write about. Everything I know about Hiawatha I read somewhere else; I've never even been in the ghost town. It looks to me like this edit solves the problem nicely.

This really would have worked out a lot better if you had started by posting to Talk:Hiawatha, Utah. I know y'all are new to Wikipedia, but you acted a bit hastily. Anyway, no harm done. That's one of the great things about this encyclopedia; it's easy to correct errors. No hard feelings? Ntsimp (talk) 01:45, 1 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
