Brooks Arcade

Has this been demolished? Feel free to expand the article with good RS. Thanks!Zigzig20s (talk) 00:59, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

User:Ntsimp: Do you know this please?Zigzig20s (talk) 02:36, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

What's in the picture is still there. It was delisted due to extensive alterations; as I understand it, only part of the outer layer is original. Ntsimp (talk) 05:12, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 05:16, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Latter-day Saints University

Just to be clear, Latter-day Saints University mentioned here is BYU, isn't it? If so, shouldn't we create a redirect? The phrase "Latter-day Saints University" is not mentioned in History of Brigham Young University.Zigzig20s (talk) 05:41, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Nope, actually! It seems to be the name for what became LDS Business College, in Salt Lake City. The article reports it was an academy which never grew into the university it was intended to be. I do think BYU is the top LDS-associated university, but I recall learning somewhere that Brigham Young founded three colleges/universities (including the one that became BYU). Anyhow LDS University was redirected to LDS Business College by User:Ylee in 2013. Latter-day Saints University was redirected to same in 2009 by User:Wasted Time R. --Doncram (talk) 07:43, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Provo City Cemetery

It may be interesting to create the Provo City Cemetery, with a section about its history and another section about the notable individuals buried there.Zigzig20s (talk) 07:24, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

@Zigzig20s: DO you have a list of reliable sources to be used to do this? You could start working on it at Draft:Provo City Cemetery. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 23:39, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

A couple new articles and a couple new templates

I've created the following articles and templates:

• Hansel Valley earthquake
• 1992 St. George earthquake
• Template:Earthquakes in 1934
• Template:Earthquakes in Utah

Just making people aware of them. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 23:38, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Sim Gill Page Being Edited - Most Likely By Campaign

Just a heads up that it appears that the Sim Gill page is getting edited by the Sim Gill Campaign. Or at the least by people who want to make him look good, rather than remain neutral. Over the past month, I have restored the article to its original state multiple times. Someone keeps removing controversy section, adding a list of his awards, and spinning all events of his life to sound like a campaign brochure. I think it would be worthwhile to keep an eye on the page, and further discus which sections are appropriate and which are not.

Very much reminds me of the Mike Winder edits of the past... Editing to make yourself sound good just prior to an election. Vayapues2 (talk) 14:58, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Can I get a couple more eyes on Talk:Nightingale College? and Nightingale College

Nightingale College of Salt Lake City appears to have a really shady history. There is a history on the talk page in which Nightingale college has paid Misplaced Pages editors.

There appears to be an ongoing defamation lawsuit in federal court and whole sections are now being deleted. I am at a total loss. Any help would be most appreciated.

thanks a billion in advance. ( ＾◡＾)っ ♡

New public art list for SLC

Just sharing a recently created public art list: List of public art in Salt Lake City.

Additions and other improvements welcome. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:14, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Related, I could really use help at A Monument to Peace: Our Hope for the Children. This work goes by so many different titles -- if any locals have more information or sources about this monument please help improve the article or share on the talk page. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 02:25, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Liberty Bell replica(s) in SLC

Hello again! I think there are two Liberty Bell replicas in Salt Lake City, and I'm curious if one or both deserve Misplaced Pages entries. If I'm understanding correctly, there's one installed in the Utah State Capitol and another at Memory Grove.

• https://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMBDH3_Liberty_Bell_Replica_Salt_Lake_City_Utah
• https://utahstatecapitol.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/02capitolgrounds.pdf: "Inside the Capitol at the top of the stairs leading to the Third Floor is a replica of the Liberty Bell of Philadelphia fame. In 1950 each state was given one by America s smelting and mining industry. Cast in France, each bell was made with the same measurements as the original Liberty Bell. Utah s is the ninth cast."
• https://www.frommers.com/destinations/salt-lake-city/attractions/capitol-building: "In front of the House of Representatives is a replica of the Liberty Bell, one of 53 bronzed and cast in France in 1950."

Do any project members have access to other helpful sources, or thoughts on entries for either bell? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:23, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
