References

There are plenty of references on Google News. I urge User:Zzyzx11 to reference the facts that he finds dubitable, rather than throwing tags about. This attitude is immature at best. --Ghirla^-трёп- 16:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it is normal and completely acceptable practice to tag articles for referencing if you don't have time to do it yourself. That is the whole purpose of tags. Of course, editors should try to reference stuff properly in the first place that way we could avoid the whole mess. And really, if you are aware of the references then I question why you don't just reference the article and remove the tags rather then complaining about another editor who correctly highlighted the lack of references Nil Einne 06:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Should the link to Geyser Valley Trail be removed?

Geyser Valley Trail is in the U.S. state of Washington and does not appear to be connected to the Valley of the Geysers in any way beyond the similarity in names. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.29.251.202 (talk) 20:31, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
