 * it looks approximately correct...
 * The formal description reads

"SECTION 1 - BOUNDARIES Starting at a point where the mid-line of the Willamette River intersects with the Fremont Bridge; then Northeast along the center line of the Fremont Bridge to a point where Greeley Avenue and Interstate Avenue intersect; then North Northeast to a point where an imaginary line runs to the mid-line of Interstate 5; then North along the mid- line of Interstate 5 to a point intersecting with the mid-line of Ainsworth Street; then West along the midline of Ainsworth Street to an imaginary point intersecting with the base of the bluff at Mocks’ Bottom; then following the base of the bluff in an arc and across the lagoon to a point intersecting with the mid-line of the Willamette River; and then South following the mid-line of the Willamette River to a point intersecting the mid-line of the Fremont Bridge. "

 * Do you think adding this description verbatim is necessary for readers? Mentioning the neighborhoods that border Overlook (as we do in the lead paragraph) seems perfectly sufficient. Wikipedia is aimed at a global audience, and these street names and geographic features (e.g., Mock's Bottom) would be lost on a lot of readers. Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 20:10, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Well what's in the leader was already there. Someone commented on it that seemed to suggest he had a hint of doubt about what was said. I wouldn't have added it otherwise. I copied what was described in verbatim since that sort of description is rather difficult to rephrase without something getting transposed. Graywalls (talk) 22:26, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Any comment? I didn't read you as saying that the lead's description of the neighborhood boundaries was inaccurate. Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 22:47, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * , I don't recall why I felt the need to post my original comment. Perhaps just a note for future reference. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:55, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * In light of this, would you oppose me removing the formal description? I don't think there was ever any confusion about the boundaries. Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 22:59, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I really don't care. Graywalls (talk) 23:03, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

that commercial website I removed has a lot of dead links, still references portlandonline.com and copyright date is 2014. So basically, it looks abandoned and not updated since five years ago. Graywalls (talk) 18:03, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
