Wack Pack -- vandalism alert

Is the whole section nonsense/vandalism or is there a grain of truth in it? Please revert accordingly and try to stop that intellectually challenged person who has created the paragraph. <KF> 19:51, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Popular Culture

Is there a reason the reference to Jimmy Dorsey's "Dusk in Upper Sandusky" had been deleted? It was recorded after the musician played a concert at the town's Star Theater in 1936. 15:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)oddmountain

Mayor

Did Upper Sandusky really get a new mayor as of just recent? According to the villages website, the mayors name is Scott D. Washburn. OHWiki 20:28, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

• The Mayor IS Scott D. Washburn, elected Nov. 2007. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rwessler (talk • contribs) 20:04, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
  • I changed "currently" to an ('08) {{as of}} template (helping us estimate how unlikely it is that he's died in office). That's one of three approaches to choose among, the other two being:

    {{Update after start of}} -- e.g. {{Update after start of|2009|11|4}} or (1st Tues after 1st Monday!) {{Update after start of|2011|11|8}} (alerting editors (or users), once another election has either extended his term or set a date when the successor's name needs to replace his), or
    both {{as of}} and {{Update after start of}}.

February 31 Gravestone

According to the February 31 article, there is a gravestone in Upper Sandusky that reads "Christiana, wife of John Haag, died February 31, 1869." If true, it would be interesting fact about the town, and perhaps should be included in the popular culture section. Chas (talk) 15:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

• If tourists come in verifiably significant numbers come to see the tombstone (probably for someone who died on the 13th or 21st), then it's arguably interesting re the town. Not otherwise.

Is "Upper" a slang name for the town?

If

... and is referred to as "Upper" by the local residents because it is located on the upper reaches of the Sandusky River;

is supposed to mean that locals frequently say "Upper" when they mean "Upper Sandusky", it should be stated as

(1) ; the local residents often call it simply "Upper". It bears the formal name "Upper Sandusky" because it is located on the upper reaches of the Sandusky River;

and if they don't use that nick, it should simply say

(2) ; it bears its name from its location on the upper reaches of the Sandusky River;

It is implausible that it would have the nickname "Upper" for any principal reason other than "Upper Sandusky" being its formal name, and that making "Upper" the obvious and presumably pretty unambiguous nick; if the surprising other situation is actual, mentioning it in the article requires both

language that makes it obvious that it is not simply the kind of clumsy composition that would create, e.g., the existing ambiguity, and

a reliable and convincing reference, which means it has to clearly say how the plausible explanation is ruled out, making the otherwise implausible one credible.

If there isn't prompt clarification, (2) -- which will be true even if incomplete -- should replace the current version.
