Moved from article:
(Note: The history was written by a former resident of Pahrump, and is a short synopsis of the history of Pahrump as remembered and told to the individual. As a result, there are going to be some historical inconsistencies, but most of it should be about right. There are a couple of books written about Pahrump, including "A History of Pahrump, Nevada" ISBN 1-878138-51-0, among others, which should be consulted for a more formal study of the region.)

POV Spin

"In November 2006, the town council made it illegal for a flag other than that of the United States to be flown without the U.S.' alongside. The law is unconstitutional, but has yet to be challenged. It was passed alongside other measures to deny undocumented immigrants their constitutional rights [4]."

This is obviously POV, I dont know enough about the issue to do the correction myself. user:Pzg Ratzinger [08:42, 18 November 2006]

There was way too much in the article about this flag law, so I removed most of it, including the above. Wasted Time R 13:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Flag law

I think the text of the legislation is concise enough and should be reinserted. Also, since this is a very notable part of the city, it should have its own section. CoolGuy 05:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Discovered by Settlers"

Just want to note another POV issue: "Originally inhabited by the Shoshone, it was discovered and slowly inhabited by American settlers in the late 19th century." How can something inhabited by Shoshones be discovered by American settlers? EoRaptor013 2008-05-16, 14:10 GMT-5

...the American settlers discovered it for themselves. There's no real implication that it was somehow undiscovered my mankind entirely before the American settlers came. That's like if I said, "I discovered this great restaurant on the other side of town." It's not like nobody else knew the restaurant existed. I'm not somehow offensively forcing my viewpoint on others that I'm the first person to know the restaurant exists. Come on now.
