Talk:Highland Park, Saint Paul

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was Move to Highland Park, Saint Paul. Sorry for going against the majority, just, I checked the Category:Neighborhoods in the United States, and the vast majority of articles follows the Neighborhood, City format (including Minneapolis). I don't hold a particular opinion whether the comma convention should apply to neighborhoods, (and I'm aware that Wikipedia is not consistent), just, I saw no reason to break the custom in this case. Perhaps an ammendment of WP:NC:CITY is called for (or am I opening a Pandora's Box?) Duja► 08:20, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Naming this article Highland Park, Minnesota gives the impression that Highland Park is an independent municipality. I propose moving it to Highland Park, Saint Paul or Highland Park, Saint Paul, Minnesota. Minneapolis neighborhood articles use the (name of neighborhood), Minneapolis format> Most neighborhoods articles for cities nationwide use either the neighborhood, city or neighborhood, city, state formats; a select few may just use the name of the neighborhood, but since there are several places in the US named Highland Park that wouldn't apply here.

Support move to Highland Park, Saint Paul

[edit]
  1. Probably a good point, I'd suggest Highland Park, Saint Paul...I always find place names with 3 sections a little awkward. Rx StrangeLove 02:56, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support - I'd agree with the two-part, not the three-part, format. --Orange Mike 03:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support - no need to get too wordy, here. It's good as is, or at most, Highland Park, Saint Paul, Minnesota (most other neighborhoods have followed this convention). -Patstuarttalk|edits 14:37, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support move to Highland Park, Saint Paul, Minnesota

[edit]

Support move to Highland Park (Saint Paul neighborhood)

[edit]
  1. I agree that Highland Park, Minnesota is a poor name for a city neighborhood, and I also dislike the three-part comma style for city neighborhoods (which has unfortunately become rather common). I'd rather see something like Highland Park (Saint Paul neighborhood). older ≠ wiser 03:45, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Conditional support. I agree with Bkonrad. A move is necessary, but Highland Park (Saint Paul) or Highland Park (Saint Paul, Minnesota) is the better destination. I would argue for (Saint Paul, Minnesota) due to the number of Saint Paul's out there. --Bobblehead 23:58, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I dropped the word neighborhood from my preferences. Anthony is right that adding neighborhood is too wordy. However, I would not be opposed to their inclusion if consensus goes that direction. --Bobblehead 19:33, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support move in general, but only to Highland Park (disambiguation info), NOT to Highland Park, anything. I'm with Bkondrad, Highland Park (Saint Paul neighborhood) is probably best. --Serge 22:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Support move to Highland Park (Saint Paul neighborhood) or Highland Park (Saint Paul) or Highland Park (Saint Paul, Minnesota). —Wknight94 (talk) 19:24, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Support per previous comments. Croctotheface 10:21, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Support Highland Park (Saint Paul) as the minimum disambiguation needed. There are no articles on neighboorhoods called Highland Park in different Saint Pauls or other Highland Parks in this Saint Paul. –  Anþony  talk  21:14, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Support I'd also support Highland Park (Saint Paul neighborhood), seems like a clean way to refer to it...Rx StrangeLove 16:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

POV

[edit]

"upscale residential" is a POV unless you elaborate more in the article below but there are def better words like "well-maintained" "popular" "clean" :D -- upscale is more synonymous with posh, rich, ritzy, expensive, etc. you have to be careful about how this is used. as an outsiders pov, i personally certainly did not get an "upscale" impression of the n'hood after 5 years of working/patroning biz there. to note, hardly any n'hood article is so bold to call itself upscale or any overall generalized descriptive. and Wiki policy states that article CONTENT itself should be self-explanatory in giving the reader an impression (ie whether or not the 'hood is upscale). .:DavuMaya:. 14:24, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it, it's at the most upper middle class...no big deal either way. RxS 14:53, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ford Plant

[edit]

Probably some mention should be made of the fact that the Ford Plant is closing; there's a corresponding ongoing debate about what to do with the site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.233.180.187 (talk) 20:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
