List of counties in Utah

 * Nominator(s): Bgwhite (talk) 20:48, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list. Information about U.S. county lists can be found at WP:COUNTYLISTS. I've been using the western states as guides. Bgwhite (talk) 20:48, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Support Looks very good now.  Jujutacular  T · C 00:50, 30 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Support I'm happy now. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:38, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) All counties were established by the Utah Territorial Legislature under territorial law except for the last two counties formed, Daggett and Duchesne. This is a slightly confusing sentence. It should probably read "all other counties" meaning all counties except those 10 already mentioned in the previous sentence.
 * 2) Please, also specify the time frame when they were created. (1851-1896?)
 * 3) They were created by popular vote and by gubernatorial proclamation. Please, specify years. It is also worth mentioning that at the time of their creation Utah was a state.
 * 4) I am also interested why the last two were created out of process? The article should probably clarify this.
 * 5) The image in the leading section should have a caption.
 * I think I've addressed items 1-4. Thank you, I've always wondered about Daggett County and now I know why it was created.
 * I'm not sure how to add a caption to the image. It's not an image/file.  Do you know how? Bgwhite (talk) 00:54, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Done.  Jujutacular  T · C 01:20, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * You added alt text, not caption. Ruslik_ Zero 12:58, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I added both, please check again.  Jujutacular  T · C 19:47, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, you added but it is not displayed. Ruslik_ Zero 11:36, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the problem is that the lead image is not an image map or thumbnail; it uses the template image label, so the caption does not appear. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:45, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I see. Actually that caption parameter determines the rollover text for the image (which worked). Not sure about the "caption" though.  Jujutacular  T · C 14:26, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Support. I think currently the list satisfies FL criteria. (I fixed caption problem myself.) Ruslik_ Zero 17:56, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The added caption has displaced all of the county labels... at least on my browser (Firefox).  Jujutacular  T · C 19:07, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I temp disabled my fix, but in this case the labels should be shifted down to match new position of the map. Ruslik_ Zero 19:40, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've created a different template with shifted labels and added it. Check it out to see if it looks good to you. Feel free to play with the positions: Template:Utah County Labelled Map2.  Jujutacular  T · C 21:47, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks good. Ruslik_ Zero 10:01, 4 May 2010 (UTC)


 * This is something not really in your control, but the map is out of date; a sizeable enough change to be visible was made in 2003 when Green River was transferred to Emery County from Grand County. --Golbez (talk) 17:30, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Green River was in both couties. Residential in Emery and commercial in Grand, but most of the land was in Grand.  A guesstimate from an outline of Utah shows the county transfer looks to be a 20 mile (east/west) by 5 mile (north/south) area into Grand County.  I have GIS data for utah.  If you show me some information on how to update the map, I'll do it. Bgwhite (talk) 21:29, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I figured things out. I updated the map to show the new boundaries between Emery and Grand counties.  I did a pixel by pixel change from the latest census maps Bgwhite (talk) 00:41, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Support. Very good list. --Carioca (talk) 19:45, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
