Talk:Dakota Territory

Oldest town
An editor left a comment about Pembina, ND being older than Medary, SD. Although the comment didn't really belong in the article as it sought to refute another statement made in the article, it appears to be correct, so I've removed both the Pembina comment and the sentence about Medary being the oldest 'town site'. Not really sure what counts as the 'oldest town', so I'll leave that to other editors if they have better knowledge/sources on the matter. AlexiusHoratius (talk) 18:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

main map is terrible!
Is that map even to scale or correct aspect ratio? It's not at all easy to see what part came from Idaho rather than Minnesota, and which part became Idaho and which part became Montana. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.36.162 (talk) 02:09, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Richardson source
Why have you removed all reference to the Richardson source? It was verifying quite a large chunk of the article which you have now left unsourced. SpinningSpark 13:29, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I removed Richardson as it failed verification and am replacing it with references supporting individual items. Please review my references and add to them or replace them as you see fit. Cheers!  Sandcherry (talk) 15:52, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hang on. You removed it from one item because it failed verification, but then removed it from everwhere else because the ref was "undefined", a problem you caused by deleting the ref in the first place. Even the failed verification one is only a problem with the wrong page number being cited.  Your action here is a bit extreme for the problem at hand. SpinningSpark 15:58, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Good point. Feel free to add back the citation as appropriate. Sandcherry (talk) 22:01, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to just put back my original text and references. There was nothing wrong there (aside from the wrong pae number in the cite)> SpinningSpark 14:51, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
