Flags in infoboxes
Hi, Buaidh. I'm seeing you adding the Colorado flags to various towns in that state, so I wanted to highlight MOS:INFOBOXFLAG, which states:
:{{tq|Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they could be unnecessarily distracting and might give undue prominence to one field among many. Flag icons should only be inserted in infoboxes in those cases where they convey information in addition to the text.}}
Given this guideline, you may wish to reconsider adding state flags. — hike395 (talk) 23:28, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
:{{re|Hike395}} We've been doing this for a long time, but I'll remove them. Thanks, Buaidh talk e-mail 01:41, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Colorado communities
1) "statutory town", "home rule city", and similar terms should not be capitalized in the intro of community articles. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 01:59, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
2) You are spamming far too much state stuff in the "see also" and "external links" sections of community articles. State-only information should be the state article, not in every community article.
3) The "subdivision_name2" county field in the infobox should not include the word "County" on the right side.
4) "United States" in the infobox and intro should not be wiki-linked.
5) The right side of "postal_code_type" field should be "ZIP Code", both words in uppercase, per the article title.
If you disagree, then please discuss in the talk section at WP:USCITY.

Colorado populated places verification
Hi, I added a dozen railroad sidings to the list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Colorado/GNIS places needing verification and there will likely be quite a few more as I comb through the lists. Most of them are just a side track with a grain elevator, labelled as "station" in [https://history.denverlibrary.org/sites/history/files/Place_Names_of_Colorado.pdf Place Names of Colorado] with no significant hits in newspaper searches, but I wanted to give you and others a chance to look for sources. Let me know if this process works well for you, I'm more accustomed to going through AfD with standalone articles and I want to make sure I'm getting it right. –dlthewave ☎ 20:44, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
