 * Yup, not saying that it is WP:RS, just that it is not a particularly new insight. tgeorgescu (talk) 12:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

New Flag
Utah has adopted a new flag recently. Please change it. 78.191.62.233 (talk) 14:40, 26 January 2024 (UTC)


 * It will be updated when it becomes the new state flag in March 2024. Jwilli39 (talk) 20:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The new flag is currently being appealed, and the old flag is still an official state symbol. Please put the picture of the old flag back on the page somewhere. 2601:681:8A00:E6C0:5C79:49FC:EDA9:7195 (talk) 16:12, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Is there any evidence of this being the case? I haven't been able to find anything relating to the new beehive flag being appealed. Jwilli39 (talk) 04:19, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * New Utah flag sees mix of public opinion in Deseret News poll – Deseret News (https://www.deseret.com/utah/2023/11/1/23938587/new-utah-flag-sees-mix-of-public-opinion-in-deseret-news-poll/) - It has not gained sufficient support yet, nor is it clear that it will in the future, but there is an effort. I at least think that there should be a section, possibly on State History or State Symbols (such as state flower, state bird, etc.) where the flag can have its picture. 2601:681:8A00:E6C0:800A:22F0:C167:AFC3 (talk) 19:04, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * There were attempts to repeal the new flag, but the bill that would have done so failed to advance out of committee. In regards to the referendum attempt, only 99,125 signatures were gathered (of the approx. 134,000 required), and of that only around 81K were verified. Unless a referendum or bill passes to officially change it, then the beehive flag should stay put until then. Please see Flag of Utah for more information on what went down. Jwilli39 (talk) 21:14, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The old flag remains a State symbol under Utah Code as the "historical flag" and requires it be flown by State offices during holidays and above the Capitol when the Legislature is in session. An executive order places it's precedence as being above the present State flag when flown together. In the state symbols section it should still be displayed because of it's legal status and public use. ReminderCG56 (talk) 04:21, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Manti tornado no longer most recent >(E)F0 tornado
At the end of the climate section in geography/geology, the article says that the last tornado stronger than (E)F0 intensity was the 2002 Manti F2, but the most recent was on June 19, 2022, when an EF2 occurred in rural Duchesne County. Some stupid nerd (talk) 05:08, 6 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Whether or not it is the most recent (and I see that it is not), these "most recent" claims should be avoided where they are unlikely to be updated. I'll be deleting the claim. Uness232 (talk) 12:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Navajo name inclusion in summary box seems odd due to an inconsistent formating and absent clear reasoning when accessing most U.S. State pages.
The choice for which languages are appended to the offical names of the U.S. States are scatagorical and inconsistently applied. What is the reason for the Navajo name being used when the State's name comes from the Ute people? Secondly, Spanish is the second most widly spoken language in the state, why does the page not have the Spanish name for Utah broadly mentioned? Wikipedia editors ought to strive for consistincy by establishing needed criteria for a specified format accross sister pages.

Considering 11 of the 50 states have secondary language names applied to them in a manner with no clear system this practice needs review. These states are (Utah, Alaska, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota & Tennesee) This seems to confuses readers. It should be moved to another location within the summery box, perhapes as one of the other names if well known or in common usage. ReminderCG56 (talk) 23:16, 12 June 2024 (UTC)


 * There is no indication that the Navajo name is in common usage. The name was added in an edit in March 2024 without discussion. There have been previous attempts to add other Indian names to the article, but those have long since been removed and I was unable to find the diffs offhand.
 * Apart from WP:DUE concerns (as there were historically five tribes in the area now known as Utah), adding uncommon alternative American Indian names is against MOS:BOLDSYN which states that only significant alternative names should be added to the article. Mfko (talk) 20:18, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
