Talk:History of Colorado Springs, Colorado

message: Please keep the first several sections in the order and categories... although the later sections are very general names, feel free to rename if there is a more accurate description for the time period, or add in a period earlier contributors have missed.
DO NOT remerge this page... expand it and take out parts of the main colorado springs article... no other major cities have such an awkardly long history on the main page...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Viewfromthepeak (talk • contribs) 06:11, August 29, 2007 (UTC) 
If you want, we can either merge this page or I can have it put up for deletion.  In either case, this page cannot stay on Wikipedia.  It is too much like a test page.  If you want to keep it, make certain there is a need for it and that it is complete.  See History of Los Angeles, California for more.  Notice how the history of Los Angeles dosen't have empty sections, it is very complete, and about 2 pages long.  Only when it gets to that point does it need to become a seperate article.  And please discuss this here instead, your comments will not be noticed here.  Also, you don't own the article namespace.  If you want to experiment, instead create a sandbox in your userspace.  If you leave it here in the article namespace, you can't tell people to "Please keep the first several sections in the order and categories...."  And also please sign your name with four tildes (~~~~).</br>

message: The following line is misleading: “Old Colorado City, built in 1858 during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush was the Colorado Territory capital.” 
According to the Wikipedia page about Old Colorado City, it barely functioned as the territory capital and it was never recognized by the federal government (see page 105 of “Colorado's Healthcare Heritage: A Chronology of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, vol. 1, 1800-1899”
By Thomas J. Sherlock): 
Colorado Territory was established on November 5, 1861.[10] Until August 14, 1862 (including one legislative session), the city was the Colorado Territory capital until it was moved to Denver.[11] Colorado City effectively functioned as the capital for only five days. When the second territorial legislature met at Colorado City on July 7, 1862, in a log cabin that still stands on Colorado Avenue, they found the accommodations so inadequate that they voted to adjourn on July 11 and reconvene in Denver on July 16.[11][12] Rtbarnhart (talk) 03:02, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
