Ordinance #9 Tombstone

Reading the Wikipedia article about when the ordinance #9 was rescinded it is stated that it's not know when the old ordinance was discontinued. My name is Terry McGahey anow living in Kingman Az. The old Earp ordinance as it was known ended for good in 1994. I know this because I was the driving force to end it. By the 90s and before ordinance #9 was changed to ordinance #5-5-1 but it was the same exact ordinance. I was shot at, had property destroyed and had to shoot and wound a man in self defense. Anyway, the whole story is on a blog called The American Cowboy Chronicles. To much to put here. It truly was like stepping back into the old west at that time. 65.73.92.50 (talk) 23:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello Terry. I expect people would be interested to hear about this if you write on the talk page of the particular article - perhaps you are referring to Cochise County Cowboys#Weapon ordinance although I did not notice where that article states that it's not known when the old ordinance was discontinued. If so you might like to go to Talk:Cochise County Cowboys, click “Add topic” and let them know. In general blogs are not considered reliable sources, but there are exceptions. No doubt the people interested in the particular article will have a view on the blog you mention considering Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published sources Chidgk1 (talk) 09:15, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Can't edit a certain page

I've been trying to correct the dash type on William Beauchamp Wildman. However, most of the time when I try and edit the page it simply refreshes and doesn't go to the editing page. On the rare occasion this works and I make the edits I want and click "publish changes" the changes don't happen. If anyone knows why this is happening it would be much appreciated if it could be explained and/or fixed. If someone would like to make the simple change I'm trying to make it would be very much appreciated. I'm trying to change the dash type on the page that's used between dates from the current type to the standard dash format i.e. from - to –. Helper201 (talk) 23:44, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

@Helper201:  Done. Probably some glitch. C F A 💬 03:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
