Pink Slime battleground[edit]

I have never heard of Elk Point until now. It seems that the Pink Slime trial/Issue should be mentioned as it has now become the claim to fame for many, as myself. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-abc-pinkslime-idUSKBN18W0KJ --Wikipietime (talk) 14:29, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Due to criticisms that I have received in the past, I have tried to refrain from modifying an article and enter my proposal here on the talk page for consideration. This could well be the biggest event for Elk Point in many decades, if not ever. --Wikipietime (talk) 15:46, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikipietime: The final paragraph of that Reuters story ("...the lawsuit against ABC is upending a quiet, rural town...overflow crowds...enlarged courtroom...specially constructed separate building...moved modular offices into town") indicates notability in the context of Elk Point. But where the information applies to Elk Point, it should probably be within a larger Law and Government section. For instance, the Chicago article has a Law and Government section separated into Government, Politics, and Crime. If we want to add the Pink Slime lawsuit to the Elk Point article, we should fill out an entire new section with information about the city's government and politics and courts, then mention the Pink Slime case as an instance of a notable lawsuit that's held in the local courtroom. This new section doesn't have to be huge, but it should be first and foremost general information about Elk Point, then a smaller amount of specific information about Pink Slime. E.g., look at the Vermillion, South Dakota, article for a sample Government paragraph. Thanks for your comments and time! Runner1928 (talk) 16:08, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Points all well taken. The case continues http://www.courthousenews.com/beef-company-spokesman-says-nothing-accurate-abc-beef-product-news-coverage/ --Wikipietime (talk) 19:03, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Elk Point, 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 Elk Point, 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.

Reference named "2018 Pop Estimate":

From Aberdeen, South Dakota: "Population Estimates". United States Census Bureau. Retrieved May 24, 2019.
From North Sioux City, South Dakota: "Population Estimates". United States Census Bureau. Retrieved May 30, 2019.
From Sioux City, Iowa: "Population Estimates". United States Census Bureau. Retrieved June 6, 2019.
From Rapid City, South Dakota: "Population Estimates". United States Census Bureau. Retrieved May 30, 2019.

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 ⚡ 01:42, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
