Talk:Old Louisville

Filson
In my last change, I stated I would move the Filson link to See also, but that's not necessary, as it's already wikilinked in the article. &mdash; Stevie is the man!  Talk 22:46, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

GA Passed
Congratulations! I have promoted the article to GA status. The next thing I would suggest is working on red links -- either removing them or writing stubs or articles for them. I'd also suggest increasing the number of inline citations as well. --CTS Wyneken (talk) 16:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Crime section
The 10th paragraph in the Leo source states that crime (reported in the first 1/2 of 2006) was significantly down from the 2005 levels. 4.225.122.15 02:47, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and fixed it. There should probably be better coverage of crime in general in Old Louisville, there was a great fear of it in the 1970s and 1980s for example, not sure if the crime rates really reflect that. I am not sure where to go for the stats though off the top of my head. --W.marsh 03:31, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

There are several people who have lived in my house since the 1980s who say things are tremendously better than they were. Also, the city as a whole saw a jump of crime in 2005, not just Old Louisville, this should also be mentioned. 4.225.126.134 16:55, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
 * Per WP:MOS, avoid using words/phrases that indicate time periods relative to the current day.

 * Per WP:MOSNUM, please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, "the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.
 * Per WP:MOS, headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading  ==Magellan's journey== , use  ==Journey== .
 * Please reorder/rename the last few sections to follow guidelines at WP:GTL.
 * There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article- please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view.


 * Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
 * Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “ All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
 * Temporal terms like “over the years”, “currently”, “now”, and “from time to time” often are too vague to be useful, but occasionally may be helpful. “I am now using a semi-bot to generate your peer review.”
 * Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that the it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 2a.

Clean up
I was just doing some minor cleanup on the history section. I added a few places where I thought citations might help as well. Overall pretty good stuff. No real glaring errors, I did fix one minor POV issue, about the amphitheatre being one of the best theatres, which is a completely subjective statement. I'll look over the rest of the article as well. Hope this helps. A mcmurray 08:27, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it actually was considered one of the best, if we source that it's not really a NPOV issue. Anyway thanks for the citation needed tags, most books I'm using on this are non-circulating so I'll add citations when I'm at the library next. --W.marsh 17:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

St. James Court fountain
I have been under the impression that the fountain in St. James Court was a leftover from the Southern Exposition. Is that true? If so, that would be a good nugget of info for the article. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 17:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll see if I can find anything, it would be an interesting thing to mention... hopefully right after Christmas I'll have time to spend a day at the library. Most of the good books on Old Louisville are non-circulating and out of print. --W.marsh 18:01, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, my impression was incorrect. The fountain we see today was installed in 1890, three years after the exposition was over.  I got this from the Encyclopedia of Louisville.  Stevie is the man!  Talk • Work 18:15, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Removed from article
In recent years Old Louisville has been touting itself as the most haunted neighborhood in the country, and the Visitors Center in Historic Old Louisville has begun offering ghost tours based on the allegedly haunted locations mentioned in local author David Domine's books Ghosts of Old Louisville: True Stories of Hauntings in America's Most Haunted Neighborhood and Phantoms of Old Louisville: Ghostly Tales from America's Most Haunted Neighborhood.

Would be nice to mention the book(s) written about Old Louisville though. --W.marsh 12:12, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
