Talk:Buford, Wyoming

message: The town is for sale according to http://www.wyolifestyle.com/blog/?p=327 (and the official Buford website) but I can't figure out how to edit the wiki page to cite references properly.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.125.224.250 (talk) 21:58, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: For sale

message: Now just three weeks ago I went up to Wyoming again, as I usually do for Spring Break. This article says Buford has a population of 1. But last I was up there the sign said 2. If someone could recheck that and see if the sign is correct that would be great.

thread_title:  Unusual Article? 

message: Fort Sanders (Wyoming) was constructed just south of modern Laramie () - not on or near the townsite of Buford.  I realize there may be some confusion - Fort Sanders was originally named Fort Buford after the same John Buford the town of Buford is named for.  I removed the reference to Fort Sanders and added a  tag for the rest of the paragraph. CosmicPenguin (Talk) 03:04, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fort Sanders 

message: This town is definitely not called "PhinDeli" -- even according to the references in the article, the town was renamed to "PhinDeli Town Buford" (not just "PhinDeli"). I've moved the article accordingly.
Also, User:Woods80513 has a point here. In all the government records (type site:gov "PhinDeli" in Google), the name of the town remains Buford. Since I'm not American, I do not know what's the procedure for changing the name of an unincorporated community. According to this news report:
It appears to me that "PhinDeli Town" is just a branding nickname or a tagline, while the official name of the city remains Buford. I might be wrong, though. utcursch | talk 17:53, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: County of Albany records (site:albany.wy.us phindeli) now refer to this town as "Buford Phindeli Town". I'll wait for someone more knowledgeable to comment before a page move. utcursch | talk 17:28, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Woods80513 has a point, but was mistaken in his claim that the USPS and county registrar are the official deciders in a town name. It's more complicated than that, depending on if the city has a charter (which this as an unincorporated city would not), state law, policy of the United States Board on Geographic Names, etc. Regardless the United States Postal Service would have a powerful influence, but not the final say in the matter. For example, I doubt the USPS uses the full, official title City and County of San Francisco. The USPS would be almost like Google Maps. If it appears in Google Maps, everybody may start using a name, but it is not legally binding. Dave (talk) 03:34, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name change 

message: I have removed the following text from the article "Recently, the town has seen change as a new private Catholic school has been built. The school is called the Catholic School of Catholicism, found at: https://catholicschoolofca.wixsite.com/website. The school offers a K-12 education for the residents of Albany County"
I can find NO other mention of this anywhere. A search of Laramie's Newspapers at https://www.wyomingnews.com/ yields a big goose egg. And while I admit I'm not an expert on Catholic Schools or rural Wyoming, I would think a new private school built in Buford would make news in nearby Laramie.  There are also some clues in the website that cause me to be dubious, that I can discuss if necessary.  If anybody can confirm this school actually exists, please advise.
