References

I was going to combine the references and sources sections into one unified section but there is a reference here for (Ashworth, 1991) that is not further defined. Does anyone have an idea what the actuall reference is as this is not enough information for me to go on in updating the references. --Burntnickel 16:08, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above change to references has been made.

John Elden

There is a dead link to John Elden in the article that invites readers to write an article about John Elden, whom Mt Elden, nearby Elden Pueblo, and several nearby roads and trails are named after. The story of John Elden, his son's mysterious death, and the apparently fabricated story of the subsequent murder and posse are well documented by the Arizona Historical society, the local Flagstaff newspaper, National Forest historical markers, and Google maps. However, Wikipedia reviewers have taken the position that this notability does not meet new Wikipedia article standards, and have declined to publish the draft article on John Elden.

Since new article sections have lower notability standards than new articles, I would like to create a new section on the Mt Elden page that summarizes the story of John Elden. Before doing so, I would like to received input from readers and editors of the Mt Elden article for their possible objections, support, or other comments. If anyone has thoughts to share, please reply. Click on the dead John Elden link to view the rejected John Elden article draft.
