Talk:Lake Placid, New York

Clumsy text
Lake Placid was the first village/town/city in North America to host two Olympics.

I'm not sure what the wikipediacally correct text should be, but it should be fixed. Andjam 08:28, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * It ought to just say "location", I think. I'll do it now.--Sean|Bla ck 09:01, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * This page is becoming a bit disorganized. Some material not really related to Lake Placid has crept into the article.  Headers contain material that should be located elsewhere.  With all the notable people associated with the village, it might be advisable to place them under one heading. Stepp-Wulf 02:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC).

What Lake Placid is not, and what Wikipedia is not
I have moved a lot of material that was in this article to other articles where it belongs.

Please note: Lake Placid is not the site of Whiteface Mountain, nor are the High Peaks in Lake Placid, nor is Santa's Workshop in Lake Placid. Information pertinent to places and things outside of Lake Placid belongs in separate articles. This article should not be a catch-all for all things Adirondiacal, even if it is the place most people are familiar with.

Also, Wikipedia is not a travel magazine, it is an encyclopedia; there is a difference, both in appropriate content and writing style. Mwanner | Talk 01:39, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Did you take the references to Kate Smith out? She is part of Lake Placid history. She made many broadcasts from Lake Placid. The song "God bless America" was broadcast from her lake house studio. --Melchior2006 (talk) 20:15, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Olympic Bobsled Run Lake Placid2.jpg to appear as POTD soon
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Olympic Bobsled Run Lake Placid2.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on February 4, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-02-04. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks!  howcheng  {chat} 17:31, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Top picture is awful
Such a scenic town, such an ugly photo. Does anybody mind if I change it? --Melchior2006 (talk) 08:28, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Changed it. --Melchior2006 (talk) 08:18, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
