The proper spelling for this town is Mannfield. Can somebody please change?

NOTE: the name (Mansfield) does seem to be incorrect (ghost town is/was "Mannfield")

edit

It looks like the name of the ghost town was originally specified correctly, but later changed (perhaps to match non-ghost town?). I am currently surveying the situation, :) Proofreader77 (talk) 21:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

SOME RAW REFS:

  • COMMENT: Don't base spelling on a normal Google search for this one. Ghost towns are not necessarily much in the internet public record at the surface level.
  • COMMENT: Conflicting spelling. Hermosa Springs Wildlife Park history (No references for how this was written)

But before moving ... What of "Mansfield, Florida"?

edit

Now comparing with hits for Mansfield, Florida. (Confusion is understandable) Proofreader77 (talk) 23:34, 25 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

"Mannfield" appears correct (OK to move)

edit

Based on the above survey of records, I am satisfied the title of the article should be Mannfield, Florida. Proofreader77 (talk) 23:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
