Talk:Iron Mountain, Michigan

Iron Mountain, Michigan newspaper
Barek, Greetings. I noticed you got rid of * Iron Mountain Daily News - newspaper Web site. To be sure, I think that it would be preferable if we had a separate article on the Newspaper, a la Alpena News or Traverse City Record-Eagle. Then thre would be wiki link to the newspaper in this article. But this is just a link to the local news, and I respectfully think that you should reconsider. I think it has utility to our readers, and is not anything like a random collection of links. That's my 2 cents. Best to you. 7&amp;6=thirteen (talk) 15:59, 23 January 2009 (UTC) Stan
 * The problem is the guidelines in WP:USCITY, which is pretty clear that in the External Links section "a link to some of the official websites should be provided here, such as the official city government, the chamber of commerce, and the convention & visitors bureau. Providing links to every commercial, educational, or other entity within the city is not appropriate for this section. Information about such entities should actually be written into the article, with links to Wikipedia articles on notable entities." Technically, I should've cleaned up other links as well, but was in a hurry so only reverted the most recently added one.
 * One option would be to add this link:  which displays as:
 * The dmoz website is better suited to store directories of external links, is expressly suggested by WP:EL as useful in these types of situations, and already contains a link to the newspaper in its "news and media" subpage. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:13, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Largest Steam Engine in the World
Some clarification of this fact is needed. There are other steam engines claiming to be the world's largest, biggest etc. The adjective(s), if any used, are obviously quite important. Some of the other contenders to this, or similar thrones (depending on the operative adjectives) are, , , , , to touch upon a few.

Perhaps this steam engine is "the largest steam-driven pumping engine in the United States," as claimed at. I would change the article to reflect this specific claim except that I have a memory of the claim being like it is stated in the article, without the limiting adjectives, and applicable to the world, not just the U.S..--Drew Napili (talk) 03:46, 16 March 2010 (UTC).

In looking at this further, I am going to change it for now to the more "verifiable" claim of "the largest steam-driven pumping engine in the United States" until better authority and/or clarification can be found.--Drew Napili (talk) 04:07, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
