Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

Hollywood Depiction

I'd be interested in comments regarding the depiction of Tombstone in the movies, Wyatt Earp and Tombstone.

Whores

I don't think it's appropriate to use the word "whore," which is "widely considered pejorative" according to the WP article. The source for the statement in which it's used (twice, for some reason), doesn't use "whore," it says "commercial sisters." I would go for "prostitute," which is widely used and more precise.

Soiled Doves? I see this often on books in Tombstone. 65.129.248.49 (talk) 03:43, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Map

There is not adequate explanation of the square that is a map of the county. What are the enclosed white areas (unincorporated inhabited places perhaps) and what is the small red square (the county seat, unnamed?) ?Kdammers (talk) 10:11, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

John ("Doc") Holliday

Added Holliday's name to participants in Fremont Street shootout, (as it was properly known until movies) as Holliday was a friend of Wyatt Earp and aided him in the gunfight with a coach gun. Wyatt was a bad shot, Holladay took one in the leg for him. You might also add it was snowing that day in October. That is why the men wore dusters. 65.129.230.14 (talk) 01:58, 26 October 2017 (UTC)^[1][reply]
