Why did you delete the redirect of "Glenden Woods" to "Glenden Wood"?  It's standard practice on Wikis that mis-spellings are redirected to the properly spelled page. [[User:98.204.69.122|98.204.69.122]] 19:00, 27 October 2007 (CDT)
 
[[User:Gouru|Gouru]] 02:51, 28 October 2007 (CDT) I looked for all the references to the misspelled name, corrected the spelling to where they then linked to the correct page.  Once all the corrections were made, I deleted the redirect as it was then orphaned.  Didn't see a reason to leave the misspellings in the articles.
