It looks like the tax info was old. I've updated it based on the article you linked. —C.Fred (talk) 15:53, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Demonym

I live in utah and i have never heard or seen the use of "utahan" The reference given also does not give info on the demonym. I'm going to get rid of that reference (its irrelevent) and delete "utahan" from the info box (if there are no objections) BlakeAllred (talk) 02:32, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

The reference says Utahan is an acceptable noun or adjective form—whereas Utahn is only listed is a noun. That's my objection to deleting the term. Any sources that list only Utahn as the term and/or list it as an adjective form? —C.Fred (talk) 02:43, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

ok, i see where that says that now in the reference, i dont know how i missed that, but i've still never heard the term "utahan" BlakeAllred (talk) 03:04, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Number of National Forests in Utah

In the first paragraph in Tourism section it states that Utah has 6 National Forests, yet in the "Protected Areas of Utah" it lists 8. I can see how the Caribou-Targhee and Sawtooth National Forest are mostly in other neighboring states. My question / comment is that both areas should be consistant, using either 6 or 8. Additional comments?? Rocketmaniac ^RT 16:04, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I would support there being 8 listed in the Tourism section unless clarification is made that would exclude the other 2. Jhunt47 (talk) 17:18, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Greatest Snow on Earth

I'm not comfortable with the editing of the text at this time but wanted to point out an error in the Climate section. It states that Utah's Ski industry started using the "Greatest Snow on Earth" mark in the 1980's but in the legal filings for the Ringling Bro's lawsuit it states that Utah started using the phrase in 1962. Findlaw

From the filing:

"Defendant Utah Division of Travel Development (“Utah”) is an agency of the State of Utah.   As early as 1962, Utah began using its GREATEST SNOW mark in connection with Utah tourism services.   Utah has used its mark in magazine advertisements every year from 1962 to the present except 1963, 1977, and 1989.   Utah has authorized the Utah Ski Association to use the GREATEST SNOW mark in connection with the Association's promotion of Utah tourism.   Utah's primary use of its mark in Utah is its display on motor vehicle license plates.   For each of the past fifteen years, Utah's budget for winter advertising, including advertising of the GREATEST SNOW mark, has ranged from $300,000 to $450,000."

Fox visit

Is the Vicente Fox visit important enough to merit its own bullet point within the Utah article? Kant66 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:19, 5 March 2012 (UTC).
