Talk:Rice Lake, Minnesota

Move
Should this be moved to City of Rice Lake, Minnesota or just Rice Lake, Minnesota? And should the move wait until the City is formally organized? DES (talk) 00:17, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hard to say until someone provides some reliable secondary sources reporting the change... — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 15:10, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I cited two secondary sources and one primary source for the approval of incorporation. Or do you mean sources reporting the completion of the formal transition? There is a source online reporting the vote counts in the recent election, but it doesn't say if these have been officially certified, so I didn't cite it. DES (talk) 16:33, 17 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry, DES, I completely missed that sources had been added to the article itself. I remain uncertain what the best way to handle naming both this article and the census-designated place with the similar name would be. — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 17:14, 17 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Incorporation is now an established fact. Rice Lake is no longer a township. Article page name should be changed. Page should be moved and updated with city status. The former Rice Lake Township incorporated as the city of Rice Lake on October 22, 2015. In an order dated August 20, 2015, Minnesota Administrative Law Judge Barbara Case ruled that the township "has established the relevant factors by a preponderance of the evidence, and therefore Rice Lake Township's petition for incorporation is granted." The incorporation effort began in June 2014. On October 13, 2015, residents of Rice Lake turned out to elect their first city mayor, and their city councilors. The first city council meeting of Rice Lake was held on October 22, 2015. The name of this article page for the now former township should be changed to simply "Rice Lake, Minnesota". There is currently another article with the page name "Rice Lake, Minnesota", but that is a Census-designated place in Clearwater County, Minnesota. That page name also needs to be changed to "Rice Lake (CDP), Minnesota" in order to disambiguate between the two different pages. This should happen to acknowledge the legal change that has recently commenced as a result of the incorporation of Minnesota's newest city. Changes should happen to both of these existing pages. They both need to be moved and updated, the Rice Lake in Saint Louis County, and the Rice Lake in Clearwater County.—AlphaTaxonomy (talk) 01:09, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
