thread_title: Founding date

message: The city is mentioned in List of bedroom communities. Shouldn't it be given more importance in the article?
*I'm a little surprised that anyone listed it as a 'bedroom community'.  I'm removing it until someone gets numbers.  What percent of people in Mount Carmel do commute, and are they overwhelmingly bound to a single place?  I'd think it'd be less than half, and skewed badly by the Gibson Generating station.
As a further note, if you do find numbers that suggest that Mount Carmel meets the definition provided for 'bedroom community' (the majority of workers commuting), please do two things:
1: Try and control for employment at the power plant and Keensburg.  They are right outside of town, and their influence in a decision to relist Mount Carmel as a 'bedroom community' is unwarranted.  Please only relist it if a majority of locals commuting to Albion, Lawrenceville, Evansville, and Princeton/Fort Branch (again, with controls to prevent Gibson Generating Station from skewing the numbers).
2: Rather than putting Mount Carmel back on the list in the Bedroom community article, consider breaking the list up and setting up a category.  See Wikipedia:Categories for help & :Category:Ghost_towns_in_the_United_States for an example/template.  It's pretty easy to do.

message: I am not sure if the coal mine has officially closed yet, and a I was not able to find any news stories pointing either way. Southern Illinois SKYWARN 18:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Update Tag

message: The Daily Republican has published articles about a new bridge, and the bridge is in the final stages of planning. (I.E. land has been bought, all public meetings have been held) However, I was not sure of a date that the paper publised an article about the bridge, so I was only able to cite the Register.

thread_title: Bridge Citation

message: I believe all operations at the coal mine have shut down except for administration, but since I was not 100% sure, I tagged the article rather than editing it. I tagged it in hope that someone else would know if the coal mine has completely shut down. The tag has nothing to do with employment numbers. Southern Illinois SKYWARN 18:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Tags on Employment Section

message: I was wondering if I should add a section about the gas leak in Mt. Carmel on June 6. It warrented a mandatory evacuation for parts of the city and required the closing of many roads including S.R. 15 and S.R. 1. I will not add until someone confirms that this meets criteria for being placed on Wikipedia. Southern Illinois SKYWARN 18:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Gas Leak

message: I noticed an anon added info on Theodore S. Bowers in the notable residents section. I have also heard this story, but I can not find a reference anywhere. Could anyone else find a reference? Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 01:35, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just looked it up to seen when it was removed.  It was removed during a clean up of the notable residents section based on Bowers being non-notable, which based just off of a quick Google search, I'm not quite sure if he was notable enough to be mentioned myself to tell you the truth.

message: Correction to your work history.  It is the Illinois Basin. It has produced 4.5 billion barrel of oil and 4 trillion cubic feet of gas. Potential reserves for the Illinois Basin are 4 billion barrels of oil.

message: The article states that the coal generating plant is the 3rd largest in the world, and the 9th largest in the United States. That means there are 8 plants in the US that are larger. So how can it be the 3rd largest in the world? Eelb53 (talk) 07:37, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
