The article was fairly fun to write and edit because its the town where I grew up. At the time there wasn't much information on Wikipedia on it. Growing up there you learn allot of facts about the town that isn't really known to people who don't live near Sangudo. Writing any article close to the heart is fun. below I'm using my Wikipedia article as a picture encase it doesn't get accepted. Which is highly likely for small towns because they don't like much extra information beside location and the minimum about the town which is a problem about Wikipedia its not detailed enough its like an appetizer for the topic.

The village of Sangudo was formerly known as Deep Creek after a feature. The villagers could not officially named the settlement Deep Creek since there was another Deep Creek. In 1912 the community of Sangudo was named there were a few theories behind the naming of the settlement. The most known one is an acronym created by settlers. S Scott and Sutton, early settlers A Albers, the first postmaster N Nanton, hometown of Albers' wife G Gusal, a pioneer U United, characterizing the community D Deep Creek, the orignial name and a nearby feature O Orangeville, the first school The next story follows: A quotation from a letter received from Cecil Albers, son of the first Postmaster, reads: “Several factions wanted different names – no mutual agreement. To get a Post Office, there had to be a name. Dad took suggested names to the Postmaster in Edmonton. To settle argument, he suggested that he take the Post Office Manual, open at any page and Dad was to shut his eyes and point blindly at the page. Do this twice – first time, first syllable (San) second time, second syllable (Gudo). NAME – SANGUDO. Another theory was taking the name of two towns in California names and combining the names “Santa” and “Gudo”.
Sangudo was formerly incorporated as a village on April 12, 1937, but dissolved and reverted to hamlet status effective September 16, 2007.[3]
About every 20ish year a communal collection of the families of Sangudo and rural area contribute to a book of local history. The first was West of the 5th in 1959, the Lantern Era in 1979, and the New Horizons in 2001.

The main sources of revenue for the hamlet are tourism from traffic along Highway 43, oil production, and agriculture (mostly cattle ranching).[edit] Attractions
The Highway 43 Highway equipment museum is located along highway. Sangudo has two campgrounds one near on the east side of the Pembina River near the sports grounds and the other across the river. Sangudo also has an old historic wooden trestle that runs across the Pembina River, which is still in used.The hamlet is the home to Sangudo Speedway – a high-banked dirt oval that is a quarter mile in length. Sangudo features a sundial tourist monument that can be seen from Highway 43.The Sangudo Sundial-Elevator is one of the biggest sundials in existence with a height of 21 feet and a total weight of over 40 tons, including the marker rocks. The design is indeed unique and has been officially copyrighted by the Village of Sangudo. The design incorporates an additional feature which makes it particular to the Village of Sangudo. The angle of the upper roof slope is 54°54', which corresponds with the north latitude of Sangudo, and as such, enables the structure to function as a simple sundial. The combination of structural design and the time it tells (Sangudo Solar Time) makes the "Sundial Elevator" a unique structure, world wide. The large boulders were found in farm fields near Sangudo, having been deposited there during the last great glaciation as the Laurentide Ice Sheet moved from the northeast during the period 22,000 to 12,000 years ago.[edit] See also

Nice Wiki article. You put a lot of detail in it. Nothing like reading information straight from the source.
