Talk:Skaneateles, New York

Untitled
The photo of the lake was taken in the Town of Spafford, not Skaneateles. Another will be substituted.

Done--prev. pic also appeared on Skan. Lake page, so redundant. This view IS in the Town of Skaneateles.

Willow Glen
I set up the stub Willow Glen, California article.. fixed some links that went to Willow Glen and made Willow Glen a redirect. Does Willow Glen, New York merit an article? There is a link under Mottville, New York that may need attention. I went and changed that to link to Willow Glen, New York. 「ѕʀʟ·✎」 20:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: No move. There's no agreement that the village is the primary topic. Cúchullain t/ c 18:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

– I believe the village is the primary topic. There is very little of note in the township surrounding the village; virtually everything is within the village limits. When people say "Skaneateles", they are referring to the quaint lakeside community, not the administrative division of Onondaga County. Powers T 00:55, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Skaneateles, New York → Skaneateles (town), New York
 * Skaneateles (village), New York → Skaneateles, New York
 * Oppose. This is a case where there is nothing to base a move on. If its not broken, don't fix it. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:04, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * What do you mean it's not broken? It's not broken that when someone wants "Skaneateles, New York", they're taken to a largely empty article on a meaningless administrative division, rather than to the article on the community in which they're most likely actually interested?  And with no hatnote, to boot?   That's horribly broken.  Powers T 19:15, 29 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose. The issue of New York towns which contain villages of the same name was addressed at Disambiguation pages with links/New York villages within towns. Prior to that discussion, using Adams as an example:
 * Adams, New York was a disambiguation page linking to two articles below
 * Adams (town), New York was an article for the town
 * Adams (village), New York was an article for the village within the town
 * After the above mentioned discussion, the consensus was:
 * Adams, New York is the article for the town
 * Adams (town), New York is a redirect to town article
 * Adams (village), New York is the article for the village within the town
 * I do agree that the town articles should have hatnotes to the village articles, such as the one found at the top of the Adams, New York article.

 * That consensus is wholly inappropriate to this article, at a minimum. One size does not fit all, and here it produces an absurd result.  Powers T 02:07, 7 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose a move, support a hatnote (even though the village is mentioned in the lede paragraph of every one of these articles). bd2412  T 03:29, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
