List of cities and towns in Utah

 * Nominator(s): Bgwhite (talk) 17:56, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list. The only other FL city lists are Tennesse and  Arizona. I've added the etymology column used in county lists such as  Utah's. Bgwhite (talk) 17:56, 2 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment—no dab links, no dead external links. Does "concentrated along" (last paragraph of lead) mean "concentrated in"? Ucucha 18:19, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Added wikilink to Wasatch Front. The use of "along" or "in" depends on what is your definition of Wasatch Front.  It can mean the western side of the Wasatch mountains, so "along" would be correct.  It can also mean the general area including the valleys and mountains, so "in" would be correct.  Common verbiage in Utah is to say "along" no matter what definition of Wasatch Front you use. Bgwhite (talk) 20:04, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * But it doesn't say concentrated along the Wasatch Front... it says concentrated along four counties, in which case the proper phrase should be 'concentrated in'. --Golbez (talk) 20:08, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You are correct and I'm wrong. Changed to "in". Bgwhite (talk) 20:23, 2 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Support Looks good.  Jujutacular  talk 21:43, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Note. Page moved from "List of cities in Utah" to "List of cities and towns in Utah" per discussion above and request here. Rambo's Revenge (talk)  21:16, 3 August 2010 (UTC)


 * As other city pages used incorporated, I was originally going to use it. However, it was slow going to find info.  I was getting information on about 1/4 of the cities.  I called three cities to find info and they said they had the year settled on their letterhead, but they would have to ask somebody on when the city was incorporated... I gave up and just used settled.  BTW... Utah is not high :)  BYU was just named the most stone-cold sober school for 13th year running.  However, Utah leads the nation in per capita use of prescription drugs, especially anti-depression drugs. (Insert jokes here).  Bgwhite (talk) 23:57, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, my school (GWU) was named, I think, the #2 party school in the country by Playboy when I was there in the 90s. It thoroughly confused us. ;) Hrm. The incorporated thing nags at me, but if there is no easy sourcing for that then I'm fine with letting that slide... for now. ;) Keep up and you might find some source at some point, but as the list is it's good enough. :) Support. Though, one last comment: Dabomb suggested ^, #, and *, and I personally think * is a much better 'first indicator' than the others, and suggest you replace # with * in the article. --Golbez (talk) 15:39, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support Comments A few comments:

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:58, 17 August 2010 (UTC)


 * On a side note, I've noticed I only get about 1/2 of the updates in my watchlist from the towns in Utah article and other FLC articles I've nominated. I didn't get yours or Ruslik0's latest comments in my watchlist. Is this just me or a common problem? Bgwhite (talk) 22:17, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I experienced the same problem. Granted, my watchlist is very busy right now, but I just double-checked and did not see your response at all. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:23, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Egads, I'd hate to see your watchlist. You probably have it set up like a stock ticker, updated pages just scrolling by... flc cities up 50 bytes   leeds fc down 674 bytes.... Bgwhite (talk) 00:48, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, I use Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:Featured lists/Candidate list as my "FLC watchlist". If I didn't, I probably would give up on my watchlist altogether :) Dabomb87 (talk) 00:58, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Good job - the list is comprehensive from Springdale and Hurricane to Moab and Salt Lake City...Modernist (talk) 21:47, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - It appears to meet all FL criteria. --Dan Dassow (talk) 23:49, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
