Talk:Ismay, Montana

message: I was in Kansas City when the Chiefs started a contest to find a city in Montana to change its name to Joe.  All residents of the winning city (Ismay) were given the chance to fly to Kansas City and attend a Chiefs game.  I only remember about 15 people showing up on the news.  Does anyone remember any more details of this event? --Kainaw (talk) 00:39, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's named Joe, Montana why is it listed under Ismay, Montana? Quadzilla99 07:15, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because Ismay never officially changed it's name to Joe.  The name change was a way of generating publicity and temporary. -- Ltvine | Talk 01:01, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This was even in WWN (which is considered a fake magazine). They wrote the town really was renamed to this, though. Note: I know that's offtopic, but it's not entirely offtopic.89.249.0.170 (talk) 00:12, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Joe, Montana

message: Well, several years ago, I spent a good amount of time on this article schooling another editor on the limits of sources and the critical role of logic in the determination of what should be included in our articles.  I came back tonight expecting that past argument to have been rendered moot by the inclusion of (hopefully more accurate) information from the 2010 Census. But it turns out that, while new population figures have been entered (and I'm sorry to see that "Joe, MT" does not appear to be headed in a promising direction), the income figures are identical to those of four years ago. Now while I would imagine that User:Nyttend would not see that as anything to question, I tend to consider this to be so unlikely as to approach impossibility. 
Would someone who knows about such things be able to explain this? Is it, perhaps, just a failure of the Census Bureau to release income information? HuskyHuskie (talk) 07:45, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you reading this right? The only income figures given are for 2000. I have not seen income figures from the 2012 census in any similar article and assume that such figures were either not collected in 2010 or have not been published.  Emeraude (talk) 09:19, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Emeraude is correct; the bot that adds 2010 data to articles hasn't been including income.  You should explain who the other editor is, since your comments in previous sections toward me (especially the conclusion of the final one) obviously don't fit the description.  Nyttend (talk) 12:54, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, Emeraude, I would be shocked to learn that such data was not collected during the 2010 Census, although it's not inconceivable. So is this something we can request of a bot operator? I have no experience with such things; if you know anything about it, including where to go, have at it. If you're as ignorant as me, or just don't have the time or desire, I'll look into it, if you wish. HuskyHuskie (talk) 22:28, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't a clue about what data the US census collects, or how Wikipedia's bots use it. Sorry. Emeraude (talk) 08:54, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
