Revision as of 07:07, 5 June 2006
Hello! I see that you redirected the article as per the AfD discussion. You made a mistake and redirected it to the Deletion Policy page, so I have corrected this. The correct way to redirect a page is to write #REDIRECT Target article. You left the double square brackets out, hence the mistake. Regards, (aeropagitica) 19:50, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks again!

A separate article about the Carousel Capitol of the World makes sense. Many people who will be interested in the Carousels of the triple cities will have little interest in E-J who's factories are now mostly long gone.
I suggest you leave the very short treatment I gave the subject (as an enduring legacy of Endicott-Johnson), but yes, yes! a link to a separate more in depth article would be terrific. There's a lot to say about Carousels generally, and what percentage of the total of wood carved ones are in the Triple Cities area, and all that. I'll happily leave all that to you, and I'll be happy to send you what research I have on the chance you will want to use it. For example, how's this as an amazing bunch of (what are probably) facts: Between 1880 and 1930, the golden age of carousels, over 10,000 were built.
