 * Hi, Abearfellow. DYK requires every paragraph to be sourced. You've left an entire section unsourced. Maile66 (talk) 23:03, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I just saw your note regarding sourcing every section within the article. I'm making a guess, but I assume you are referring to the Brow Monument Trail information. I can cite the National Register nomination paperwork for this but, in total honesty, there is only the briefest mention of the location there. I guess, to some extent, the description of the trail, the pictures of the information signs, the pictures of the waymark posts and the pictures of the monument plaque itself are original to me. The manager of the National Forest Service office at Jacob Lake and the people at the National Park office in Grand Canyon (north) told me that i was the first person to ever go out there (that they knew of) and the first person to document it. Like I said, I could cite the Nomination because there is a little bit of information about it there. if you have any thoughts, i'm more than glad to work with them. bill polkAbearfellow (talk) 00:05, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Pictogram voting keep.svg New enough at time of nomination, long enough, adequate coverage of topic, neutral language. Referencing in the section on the monument and its history checks out&mdash;although if there is a URL for that NRHP application pdf, adding it would be good&mdash;hook is referenced, assuming good faith on map references, no overly close paraphrasing found. I added an external link on the trail and a published ref on the monument and fixed the image display here to what I assume was the intended image. Image is used in the article, is public domain, and shows up adequately at this size. After searching online for additional references, I have combined the paragraphs in the section on the trail to meet the DYK requirement for at least one reference per paragraph, and removed the one detail that is unlikely to be supported by the map sources cited: the lack of shade. That makes that section minimally sourced with assumption of good faith that the information about access to the trail appears on maps and other ranger-supplied or posted materials.
