	By cartographical convention, the ] running through ] is the ''least eastern'' and ''least western'' place in the world. It is defined as 0 degrees longitude. The 180th Meridian, on the opposite side of the globe represents the absolute limit of how far east or west one can travel, from a cartographical perspective. Anything exactly on the 180th meridian is neither east nor west; but take a single step to either side and one is at 179+ degrees east or 179+ degrees west, the highest achievable numbers. By this mode of reconing, the most eastern and western spots in the US are both in the Aluetian Islands, Alaska.

			==AfD nomination of Lawrence Kestenbaum==
	If one takes the view that the easternmost place is where the day first begins, and the westernmost is where the day last ends, then the International Date Line is the defining limit for what is most eastern or western. In a new year, the earliest US sunrise takes place on Wake Island. Less than an hour ealier, the sun also rose over Attu Island, Alaska but for December 31.

	On the other hand, if one defines what is most eastern and most western by which direction he or she must travel to reach a given point over the shortest distance, then Udall Point, Virgin Islands and Point Udall, Guam are the easternmost and westernmost points, respectively. While the world is round, and any point can be reached by traveling either east or west, it is always more direct to head east to reach Udall Point, VI when traveling from any other spot in the U.S. Likewise, there is not a single point in the United States from which heading east is a shorter route to Point Udall, Guam than heading west would be, even accounting for circumpolar routes. This holds true because all U.S. territory is spread across less than 180 degrees of longitude.

	== Function of the ] article ==
	OK -- I'll bite. "Political" in ], the ] and Utah Territory was intimately tied to religion. We find descendents of all these folks in the upper councils of the LDS church (and RLDS for a couple of generations) during the first 50 - 60 years after Joseph's Smith's death, and serving in Utah territorial positions as well. Church responsibility led to being a "judge in Israel" and hence to political activity. Many of these families are still prominent socially, politically and religiously, but prominence is still centered around the hub of the LDS Church. Many modern Mormons feel that political activity and public service can be a religious duty. But the title of the article implies a different viewpoint -- a look at a family tree or generational history. So, can you spell out your central concept about the article and/or where the article is going? It would be good to define things in the first paragraph. Best wishes. ] 03:44, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

	:Well, it is true that it doesn't take much to find a new cousin in any Mormon crowd. ]/polygamy will make your family relationships more intricate, and the concept and mechanism may need to be explained. I'm still not clear on exactly where you are going with the article, but you might look at "Uncle" John Smith's family, the brother of Joseph Smith, Sr. Also consider the Mayor's of Salt Lake City and Provo, Utah, and prominent southern Utah families -- i.e. Cannon, Matheson and Leavitt as well.

	I came up with the rule because I was getting contributions to Political Graveyard citing this or that individual as being the 8th or 12th cousin of some president. It was plain to me that such remote cousinships were not very meaningful, but I needed a neutral, mathematical way to draw the line.

	Previous to this, the limitation had been simply the length of the field for the relationship. I had room for "tenth cousin", but not enough for "first cousin four times removed", even though the latter is a much closer relationship. In tandem with the 1/1024 rule, I began storing the relationships as codes, which was both more efficient and allowed me to document and display more complex relations.

	The new version of the site, which I hope will be up soon, takes that a step further by enabling relations that involve intermediaries. For example, instead of "brother-in-law" or "uncle by marriage", the entry will be more like "married to Jane Doe (sister of Politician Doe)", at least where I have the names of those intermediaries.

Unspecified source for Image:ACF81C.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ACF81C.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:30, 28 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 15:30, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Arizlegis1933.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Arizlegis1933.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 08:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Lawrence Kestenbaum

I have nominated Lawrence Kestenbaum, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Lawrence Kestenbaum. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? --Michael White 17:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:FrankBriggs.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:FrankBriggs.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 09:08, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:JohnHuntUdall.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously.

If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Misplaced Pages. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Proposed deletion of Kimball–Snow–Woolley family

The article Kimball–Snow–Woolley family has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The article is an arbitrarily defined stand-alone list that fails to meet the notability criteria of WP:LISTN in that there is no evidence cited that the topic has been discussed as a group or set by any sources whatsoever let alone any independent reliable ones.

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 92.25.21.108 (talk) 19:20, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
