- ... that though
Cane Beds
is entirely in Arizona, many of its services ? including a medical center, airport, and television ? are in Utah?
- ALT1
: ... that
Cane Beds
might have been "Virgin Bottoms"?
- ALT1a
: ... that
Cane Beds
replaced "Virgin Bottoms"?

a town
?
- ALT3
: ... that though the Mormon Church rejected polygamy, it continued in isolated communities like
Cane Beds
during the 20th century?
- ALT4
: ... that
Cane Beds
was initially merged with a school district serving a different state because it didn't have enough students?
- ALT5
: ... that the renaming of a section of road near
Cane Beds
to honor a dead local man had been requested by the man himself?
- ALT6
: ... that just south of the Arizona-Utah border, you can follow a dead man to
his hometown
?
- ALT7

former Virgin Bottoms
is made of
Shinarump

- Comment
: A surprising number of potential hooks for a relatively short article (though alt0/4, alt1/7s and alt5/6 are pairs kind of playing on the same thing, in different ways). Alt6 is a play on the road name. Alt2 is based on a fairly-successful hook that ran for
History of Flagstaff, Arizona
. Alt1(a) and 7(a) are edgy and weird, and can be discarded or rephrased or whatever.

New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present.
@
Kingsif
:
I would like to see citations on the sentences with the "Virgin Bottoms" moniker for ALT1/a and Shinarump for ALT7/a. ALT3 I'd consider changing to "LDS Church" per
MOS:LDS
. I concur with ALT0 as all but one TV transmitter that serves the area rebroadcasts a Utah station, but there's one very fun exception that I can see why you missed. Assigned to Colorado City was K27EJ (now K27EJ-D), which in the 1997 TV Factbook (also p. B-173) is listed as rebroadcasting KTVK of Phoenix. It now rebroadcasts
KSAZ-TV
, probably because there is no Fox station from Salt Lake rebroadcast there. I have placed the necessary reference?a specialized table produced by the FCC?to support this. Without additional citations, ALT0, 2, 4, 5, and 6 are approved now, and the others just need either an additional citation or a hook wording fix.

It looks very good already. My only critiques are these:
- The
Name
section should be changed to
Etymology
and moved to the top, as is standard for any article.
?Done
- The second comma seems to be unnecessary in "St. George, Utah, metropolitan area."
?Done
- "In Cane Beds, there are pronghorns and mule deer, and there is land suitable for agriculture." Something about the wording of this feels awkward and it could probably use elaboration anyway, as it's its own paragraph.
- Revised, what do you think?

- The story about the nurse's accident in
Tourism
feels overly lengthy given the section's size. Rather than shorten it, I suggest seeing if any other information about tourism can be found to make the section longer overall to balance it a little.
- There might be details about the trails themselves, but I've done about as much searching for information as not living in the area allows. Would be appropriate to remove some of the details of the nurse's accident (perhaps to be more equal with the coverage of the similar accident?) - of course, it is the subject of a lot of the news coverage mentioning the town.

- Calling someone without a WP article a "notable resident" seems like bit of a stretch, even more so when you specify that they only lived there briefly.
- Notable for the town, I think, but removed.

Hmm, I think it's fine as it is after your revisions. Excellent job. --
