The same applies to virtually anywhere in the western US. Please don't feed the trolls: a look through the edit filter indicates that attempts are still being made to vandalize this page by IPs and sockpuppet accoutns. Acroterion (talk) 14:19, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: the first comment was directly related to an admin inquiry about finding a reliable source for a mention of the wildlife in the area. FWiW, this is no way validating any aspect of the ongoing campaign to introduce a hoax about African lions in the area. Bzuk (talk) 14:30, 15 October 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Understood, thanks for clarifying and finding for the cite. Acroterion (talk) 14:41, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article was improperly protected anyways. I'm in the process of leaving the administrator a note so they can come fix it properly. Thanks for letting us know. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(t • e • c)} 19:36, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Any admin passing by...[edit]

Could you consider selectively deleting deleting the history of this article sometime? It was done back in 2013 per WP:DENY. There has been more disruption since then. funplussmart (talk) 01:07, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
