None of these strike me as spam. I propose restoring them.

Misunderstanding, I shouldn't have removed them, so I've restored them. My apologies.

No problem; thanks for putting them back. I'll probably retitle the Sharlot Hall article, since it's actuallly about (ims) the old Douglas mansion, that became a State Park.
Sharlot Hall, incidentally, was Arizona's first State Historian, just after statehood. She was a person, not a building. Cheers,

United Verde?
I'm confused by the many variety of uses of the term "United Verde", and am wondering if someone can please clarify this either here or in the various articles that mention these. Varieties I've seen include:
United Verde
United Verde Mine
United Verde refers to the bigger of the two mines at Jerome; it also is shorthand for the company that owned the mine and for infrastructure associated with that particular mine; for example, the United Verde and Pacific Railway.
Finetooth (

Yes, horribly confusing. Good catch. I forgot to fix the redirects after greatly expanding the Jerome article. I've now redirected them more sensibly, I hope.
Finetooth (

UVX (probably simply acronym of United Verde Extension)
Correct. UVX can be used as a shorthand for the mine or the company that owned the mine, or as an adjective describing infrastructure associated with that particular mine; for example the UVX smelter at Clemenceau.
Finetooth (
talk) 19:29, 25 December 2012 (UTC)reply
This short list seems to have been created by someone in hopes that the
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) sites related to the UVX would eventually have articles of their own. I added a couple of words to the lead sentence in hopes of making it a bit more clear.

The further confusion, which I hope the Geology section makes clear, is that the two mines were not two parts of the same mine or the same ore body even though their names seem to imply that they were. They were two fabulously rich but separate deposits. Thank you for pointing out these confusions. I hope I have cleared them up, but if you see anything else amiss or have further suggestions, we can certainly make further adjustments.

Good article nomination
I am nominating this article for Good status on behalf of
User:Finetooth, who did a fine expansion job. FT does not wish to guide the article through formal review processes. I had no part in conducting research for, or expanding, this article but I am happy to address concerns that may arise during the review process. Thanks. --

GA Review
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
Could the climate data table have more specific details; for example, days of snow in a year, and such. See the
template documentation for more parameters; resources could be from the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Weather Service, The Weather Channel, or National Climatic Data Center
Added a paragraph about snow, fog, and wind.

Thank you. I made both changes just now. Would the Arizona portal be better than the United States portal?

Median income?
This line makes no sense: "Males had a median income of $23,750 versus $23,750 for females." If they're exactly the same it's not "versus" anything, and I can't find this on the linked census info page. Can anyone clarify?
JamesG5 (

Thanks for catching this. The stats were added by robots after the 2000 census and again after the 2010 census, then later modified by humans who probably thought that the two sets of similar robot stats included too much detail. The male/female claim that you noticed makes no sense to me either; it may be a typo. I simplified and modified the claims, citing the Census Bureau's American FactFinder tables for Jerome in 2014. To get at these stats about Jerome, key "Jerome town, Arizona" into the FactFinder search engine. That will take you to a page with a lot of other clickable options related to Jerome. The "Income" choice in the menu on the left side has the median income stat, and the "Selected Economic Characteristics" has the poverty stat. There are many more stats for Jerome; I'm not sure which, if any, are important enough to include in a general encyclopedia article.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on
Jerome, Arizona. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit
this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
Good catch. Updated. A further update will be needed after the November elections.

Slight mistake. You put John Kyl but he died in 73. It's actually Jon Kyl — Preceding

@
Highway 89: I have no objection to adding the
Köppen climate classification to the article, but the claim that the correct classification is Csa needs an inline citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia is not a reliable source for itself, and the Köppen climate classification page, though interesting and informative, can't be the RS for the Csa claim. Furthermore, I don't think Csa is the correct classification. When I look at the graphic at the top of the Köppen climate classification page, it appears to me that Jerome, which lies east of the Sierra Nevada is in a B region rather than a C region.
Weatherbase says the correct classification is BSk (Tropical and Subtropical Steppe Climate). If you agree, let me know, and I'll add this correction as well as an inline citation to Weatherbase. If you have a better source, please let me know.

update
does anyone else feel this article needs at least some updating? Town's water report should be updated, sliding jail needs an update, economy and culture needs an update, median income could be updated if it's available.
