Population conflict[edit]

Lede: At its height, the city had a population of 5,000

History: By 1876, over 25,000 people settled in Deadwood

These are mutually conflicting statements. Which is correct? DrewHeath (talk) 22:57, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Deadwood, South Dakota[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Deadwood, South Dakota's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 03:26, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wild Bill[edit]

Wild Bill really had blonde hair. Check the records in Kansa where he came from 63.153.157.91 (talk) 17:22, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
