The article [[:Thornwood, Washington]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Non-notable location.

Otherwise only trivial mentions found.  This place existed, but without any real information about it, it's not worth an article (post office does not establish notability).  Fails [[WP:GEOLAND]].  Satellite view today shows a rural area with a few farms, though there is a Thornwood Place and an A. Birss Road, named for the proprietor of the cranberry farm.'''</blockquote>

== My sympathies ==

Hey Gilliam!

I would've blanked my talk page, too. Not sure it would matter, but I want to let you know I appreciate all the small community articles you started and how important your work has been in my interest of SW Washington state, where rural towns and communities (like any other similar location in the U.S.) are often overlooked, derided, and therefore forgotten. Opposite of knowledge...sometimes because of a current satellite photo!

With nearly 500k edits to your name, I don't think this would be a nail in the ol' wooden sleep box for you, but please do stick around and continue your efforts. Your work matters.

My thanks,

==  [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:Swofford, Washington]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[:Swofford, Washington]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Meany's (source 3)[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015027074981&view=1up&seq=314] definition of places is less stringent than Wikipedia's definition, which is legally recognized places. Meany wrote that Swofford (the man) set up a post office in the Swofford valley and later moved it to Mossy Rock. Places don't move, but post offices do (sometimes in shoe boxes). Washington State place names published in 1971 [https://archive.org/details/washingtonstatep00phil/page/141/mode/2up] Doesn't list swofford as a place. A rather unreliable source [https://jtenlen.drizzlehosting.com/walewis/townsmz.html], but commonly referenced nonetheless lists this place, but all of the reliable sources used for their mention call it "Swofford Valley".

Reading newspapers from the area reveals that the post office served the Swofford valley, and the people who lived in the valley used it's name to define where they lived. The Centralia Daily Chronicle in 1976 (July 1, 1976 Page 31[https://access-newspaperarchive-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/us/washington/centralia/centralia-daily-chronicle/1976/07-01/page-31]) explains that the valley had a rural farming community with a post office and a drug store. The reality is that these were probably not separate buildings, and it would not be all that unusual for this to actually be Swofford's residence as well. It is not a legally recognized place. Furthermore, it's full name is "Swofford Valley". The confusion arises because post offices in the 1800's could only have one word names. If it can be established this Valley is notable, I'm okay with moving it to [[Swofford Valley, Washington]], or similar.'''</blockquote>

<blockquote>'''There is nothing at the site in google maps, aside from Mora road. But since this is a post office it would have been a stop along a "road" that would be the postal route the mail carrier travelled on. The simplest answer for its existence is that it was the road to the post office.The third source on this article states this is just a post office [https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015027074981&view=1up&seq=188] pg 172. Washington State place names doesn't list it separately and is just a repeat of Meany in source 3 above [page 92]. The other sources on the article are not useful for verification a town existed. It's only mentioned twice in passing with no indication it wasn't just a post office in the 2003 history book about the county Clallam [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Clallam_County/kHcL9mYapOsC?hl=en&gbpv=1]. The post office is likely the trading post mentioned in that book. It's worth noting here that trading posts usually were not in populated areas, but at strategic places along well traveled trade routes. So this is actually and indicator this is just a post office. In fact, this source [https://dev.historylink.org/File/8397] unequivocally makes it clear this was a trading post, it must have also housed the post office, before it moved. It appears on this 1970 map [https://historicmapworks.com/Map/US/1253439/Township+28+N+++Range+15+W+++Quillayute+Indian+Reservation++Mora++La+Push/Clallam+County+1970/Washington/] but when compared with google maps (at similar scale) you can see that there couldn't be any streets there, or anything. And Finally, we have this a description of the "town". [https://www.peninsuladailynews.com/life/back-when-the-life-behing-the-name-on-port-angeles-building/].

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]
