The correct name of the ghost town is Mannfield[edit]

The proper spelling for this town is Mannfield. Can somebody please change?

NOTE: the name (Mansfield) does seem to be incorrect (ghost town is/was "Mannfield")[edit]

It looks like the name of the ghost town ~~was originally specified correctly, but later changed (perhaps to match non-ghost town?).~~ I am currently surveying the situation, :) Proofreader77 (talk) 21:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SOME RAW REFS:

BOOK: Citrus County
BOOK:Best Backroads of Florida
Acts and Resolutions of the General Assembly of the State of Florida 1887

COMMENT: Don't base spelling on a normal Google search for this one. Ghost towns are not necessarily much in the internet public record at the surface level.
COMMENT: Conflicting spelling. Hermosa Springs Wildlife Park history (No references for how this was written)

But before moving ... What of "Mansfield, Florida"?[edit]

Now comparing with hits for Mansfield, Florida. (Confusion is understandable) Proofreader77 (talk) 23:34, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the Google hits for "Mansfield Florida" are someone's last name near Florida... or auto-generated pages without content (still looking) Proofreader77 (talk) 23:45, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Mannfield" appears correct (OK to move)[edit]

Based on the above survey of records, I am satisfied the title of the article should be Mannfield, Florida. Proofreader77 (talk) 23:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
