message: This article has been tagged with Photos Requested ever since I started contributing to Wikipedia. I finally got off my duff and took some pictures. I hope this wasn't overkill. If anybody thinks it was feel free to delete or discuss removing images that are not adding value to the article. If nobody objects after a few days I will assume this is fine and de-tag the article for photos requested.

message: 1. I believe that the Chinese slavery aspect of the history section needs citation.
2. I think this section needs expansion, surely this is not the only notable history of Carson City

replies: text: You're exactly right. While there is probably truth to what this says, it's unreferenced and unencyclopedic in tone. It should either be re-written and expanded or should be cut out.Davemeistermoab (talk) 22:58, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Grammar in article 

message: This is about https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Carson_City,_Nevada&curid=7441&diff=448849459&oldid=448804421  I'm curious why the word "only" was considered to be vulgar?  I'm guessing that the editor was thinking in terms of "after all, they were only Indians."  But "only" doesn't always carry that connotation.  For example, the phrase "only one brave enough," which uses "only" in a positive context, got me over 500,000 Google hits.  In context in the article, it seems to me to be a generic descriptor that identifies that there were no other people there at the time.  If that is correct, it is important information and I think it should be restored. Alden Loveshade (talk) 19:09, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vulgar Indians 

message: This may be useful information later on in the article, but you never hear it addressed as the “Consolidated Municipality of Carson City”.
It should be labeled as what it is referred to as, just Carson City, with the Consolidated Municipality of Carson City being touched on later in the article. Other thoughts on this?

replies: text: I definitely agree that that this article needs work. It's been on my "get around to it" list for some time. I added the "Consolidated Municipality" sentences for 2 reasons. 1-Through the years several people have put "Carson City" in the info box as the official name, which is not correct. 2- The words "Consolidated Municipality" do at least need to appear somewhere in the lead as that is the official title of the city, and again, several people were removing that.  I agree that if a good wording can be found, these problems would likely go away. I've got an idea, I'll take a stab at it. Dave (talk) 18:59, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Our established style is that the full and formal name of the topic should be in bold in the first sentence of the article.  For related examples, see San Francisco which is the City and County of San Francisco and Rhode Island which is State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.  This applies to biographies as well, where we give the full legal name in bold, even if much less known than the common name. There are many similar examples.

message: Does anybody know of a list or map of Ormsby county cities and towns (pre-consolidation)? Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 19:43, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I've never seen a formal map or list. This map, while obviously done post the 1969 consolidation, does show at least 4 other named cities inside Carson City limits, Lakeview, Stewart, Empire and New Empire.  That's a little confusing as there was and is a city named Empire on the Washoe/Pershing county line. Dave (talk) 21:47, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ormsby county 

message: There is a statement in the middle of paragraph 3 of the History section that is referenced currently to source[6], a website called Visit Carson City, referring to the naming of the city. The website identifies Franklin Proctor as the person who named Carson City, whereas the current text of the article says it was Abraham Curry. Is it reasonable to assume that the website is correct? I don't wish to edit an article whose subject I have no special knowledge of, without confidence in the source. Perhaps someone could check this out. The question of who named the city seems to be not insignificant. Alfrew (talk) 20:48, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
