Talk:Troy, Montana

To do

Notes for myself on what might still improve the article, although anyone can take this over if they want (please):

• Current effects of vermiculite mines despite cleanup - might find more when writing libby
• Literally any other modern news. Maybe check local newspapers - done as far as google will take me
• Pop culture/notable residents - done as far as google will take me
• Combine economy? Maybe with demographics - added recreation :)
• Check if ranger districts are relevant to encyclopedia
• Check flickr for pics - done
• I feel like the forest and river should be mentioned in the lead somehow - done

• ... that Troy, Montana, once part of the US EPA's first Public Health Emergency due to asbestos contamination, has flying squirrels? Source: "In 2009, the EPA declared a Public Health Emergency (the first in the EPA's history) "to provide federal health care assistance for victims of asbestos-related disease." https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/SiteProfiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=second.cleanup&id=0801744 (and then flying squirrels https://www.cityoftroymontana.com/recreation.html)

• Comment: Not sure about the flying squirrels thing. It just seems hookier than saying the cleanup is finished.

5x expanded by Originalmess (talk). Self-nominated at 04:28, 20 December 2020 (UTC).

• This article is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. (I didn't know there were flying squirrels in North America.) A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:50, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this, but there are a number of paragraphs without any cites, per Rule D2. I also think that shortening the hook would make it punchier:
• ALT1: ... that Troy, Montana, has flying squirrels?
• However, I don't see this mentioned in footnote 17. Yoninah (talk) 22:13, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

• Whoops, you're absolutely right. I must've forgotten to copy and paste a source after the squirrels, and I'll source the rest of the paragraphs within a few days and ping you. Thanks! originalmess^{busta rhyme} 00:05, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

• Some paragraphs under Geography and 2010 Census still lack cites. Yoninah (talk) 12:09, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

• The nominator has not posted on Wikipedia since January 1. Marking for closure as unsuccessful. Yoninah (talk) 22:53, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: Hi, sorry, I've been MIA because I've moved and started a new job. Could I possibly get a few more days to fix the sources? originalmess^{busta rhyme} 05:10, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

• Originalmess Yoninah hasn't been available. Can you fix the issues? SL93 (talk) 23:04, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

• SL93, it looks like Originalmess made an edit to address at least some sourcing issues on February 3, though no post was made here at the time. Can you please check to see whether this nomination now meets DYK criteria? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:34, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

• Thanks, BlueMoonset I checked and everything is sourced. SL93 (talk) 01:46, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
• My bad, I thought I updated this page but must've forgotten to. Thank you both for checking! @BlueMoonset: originalmess^{busta rhyme} 02:51, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
