Talk:Bridgham–Arch–Wilson Streets Historic District

punctuation
We have three punctuations of the name is this article: "Bridgham-Arch Wilson Streets", "Bridgham-Arch-Wilson Streets", and "Bridgham–Arch–Wilson Streets". They mean different things. What is the literal meaning of the name: Bridgham St. and what? — kwami (talk) 13:11, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, I copied the information from the Elkman generator when I created the article. Swampyank (talk) 17:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Bridgham Street is a street in Providence; Arch Street is also;  Wilson Street is also.  Probably the name should be with two "em" or "en" dashes between them.  The National Register's NRIS database (which Elkman's generator draws from) shows double-hyphens between them.  I updated the infobox, now adding coords, u can click on the coords to see where Arch Street etc. are in Providence.  Hope this helps.  To develop the article, someone needs to ask the National Register for the full NRHP nomination document, which would be sent for free.... -- do  ncr  am  19:48, 5 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Double hyphens are a typewriter shortcut for dashes. En dashes are what are used in compound words and names, so I moved to that convention; if by some chance em dashes are actually used instead (a rather bizarre situation), we can move again. — kwami (talk) 02:12, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
