Talk:Eagle Mountain, Utah

POV edits
To the revisionist historian at city hall:

You are being watched. There is nothing in this article that is factually untrue. Stop changing the history to remove the stuff that makes you and your heroes look bad. If you have something constructive to add, put it in. Otherwise get off it. -- Dnaguy, 10:37, 15 June 2006


 * The current info in the article IS factual. I suggest that those who keep attempting to cover up the truth would do better to make decisions that they aren't embarrassed about later.


 * Councilman Blackburn suggests that more positive things could be ADDED without removing the true, negative things. I agree with him. Here are his ideas if anyone can take the time to write them up:


 * 1) Living on the Pony Express route


 * 2) One of the fastest growing communities in Utah


 * 3) New and growing city


 * 4) Conveniently located/situated for work or play in both UT and SLC counties


 * 5) Bedroom community with a wide range of housing options


 * etc….


 * EM has some great qualities...even if the idiotic politics aren't one of them. -- 204.228.142.17, 19:03, 15 June 2006

Cleanup
This article need to be wikified. It also needs to be organised. For example, the history section has a lot of information that does not seem to be history. For that matter, I am not sure a history section is even needed for a community that is less than 10 years old. As well, there are a lot of claims here that should be cited. --Kmsiever 02:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the added photos of Eagle Mountain Homes.

To All Editors of this Page
To all editors of this page: Please remember that Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a publisher of original thought (original research), or a place for propoganda or advocacy of any kind. All information must be neutral and notable. Lately many editors have been adding more and more details to the bizarre history of Eagle Mountain in order to justify events or cast better light on certain individuals. This is not the place to do that. Only brief summaries should be allowed, and if something is found to be not neutral, please just remove it instead of adding unverified or uncited information. Events should be reflected accurately, even if it may appear negative to people close to the event. Please do not remove, change, or add information on this basis. Your cooperation with the Wikipedia guidelines is appreciated. -- Renesis (talk) 04:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Copyedited
I came across this article while monitoring WP:AIV and I immediately saw it needed attention. The 'politics' section was not only twice the size of similar sections in articles about much larger cities, it was larger than _entire articles_ about those cities. A closer examination revealed duplicate and sometimes triplicate information, along with some unsourced statements that raised BLP concerns. I do not believe any editor intentionally added duplicate material or intended to cause BLP problems, but the article needed some tough love. Put another way, the article was larger than a talk page archive is supposed to be – by 12 kilobytes. It was enormous.

The article is smaller now by almost two-thirds, and most of the text I removed was from that 'politics' section. You can see how much smaller it is by looking in the revision history at the last edit before mine (47.6 KB) and the current version (13.6 KB).

I felt the 'climate' section belongs in an article about a larger area, so I redacted it. I also removed the 'economy' section along with its photos, because it contained only one pretty disparaging sentence about the only businesses being a pizza parlor and a gas station. It didn't do the town any service by staying in the article. The 'education' photos threw the whole look of the article off, so the photos are resting in the revision history also. I then cited a few more sources about the politics and controversies, and tidied up the sections and headings. There were way, way too many subheadings for an article that size.

If anyone is offended because "I trashed your work" or "it's not my town", I'm sorry – but the article is better now and will attract more readers. Long blocks of uninterrupted text turn off the attention of people who just want a brief overview. If I hadn't done it, someone else would have, so it's better to do it now. It's a better article after this copyedit; like the sign under the editing box says, don't write it if you don't want it edited mercilessly by others. It really needed merciless editing. However, if I missed any facts that can be sourced, please add them back. It is not my intent to choose one side or another – I'm just a copyeditor with the admin tools. ;-)

Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks. Krakatoa Katie  07:03, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Eagle Mountain, Utah
Section removed for violations of WP:SOAPBOX and WP:SPA. Plutonium27 (talk) 15:54, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Clean Up Mark II
The Law and Government section (except for the names of the incumbent and pro tempore) has been excised for being entirely uncited and for not adhering to several key policies including WP:NPOV (neutrality), WP:BLP (living persons), WP:SOAPBOX (self-explanatory) and WP:OR (original research).

Please do not replace any of the removed text without discussion to ensure that these policies are adhered to.

Wikipedia is not a platform for warring accounts of the minutae of municipal strife. A warning template has been placed on the page regarding the insertion and reverting of uncited text that contravene the above policies. Admin help and oversight has been sought for this page as these issues appear to be long-standing and unresolved. Plutonium27 (talk) 19:53, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
