Talk:Twin Parks

'Copied' tag
I put a "copied" tag at the top of this article and not the fire article, but I am uncertain as to whether it has been properly deployed in this instance, as I have never used it before.

Floor Count
How is it accurate to say "19 floors" when we're talking about scattered-site housing that includes multiple different buildings? 69.162.253.10 (talk) 14:54, 1 February 2022 (UTC)


 * It isn't. Thanks for pointing that out. Coretheapple (talk) 16:37, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Why no photo?
Seems silly when talking about a piece of design. 72.88.90.122 (talk) 20:32, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * It isn't "silly", just that no one has gotten around to uploading a freely licensed photo. Per Image use policy, the page can only use a freely licensed image, including those in the public domain or those taken by a Wikipedian. Perhaps a Bronx-based editor may be able to obtain a picture (I know has taken many pics of buildings in the Bronx, but anyone is welcome to take a picture of the buildings and upload it). – Epicgenius (talk) 22:25, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Epicgenius thanks for the ping. That's not far from me, and the weather's supposed to be nice tomorrow.  Sounds like a good excuse for a bike ride.  I know the buildings, but didn't realize they had any particular significance.  And I've been annoyed that the gates are always closed so you can't ride through what looks like a nice courtyard, without knowing any of the history of why. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:37, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * There are several buildings to choose from actually, as this was scatter-site housing and the project consists of several buildings, some spaced widely from each other. The one in which there was the fire could also fit into the article on the fire of course. Coretheapple (talk) 22:35, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Coretheapple if there's anything of particular significance that particularly needs a photo, let me know and I'll try to accomodate that. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:38, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks ! All I know about Twin Parks and the fire is what you see in the article, so I don't have any special thoughts. But I think that a photo of the building and perhaps some of the other ones too if possible would be worthwhile. Coretheapple (talk) 23:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, I just put 2 and 2 together and realized that this is where that big fire was a few weeks back. That explains the sudden interest. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:02, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, unfortunately the development is infamous for that now. It's pretty tragic.(Unrelated to this article, but if you still are looking for photo suggestions Roy, the Dollar Savings Bank on Grand Concourse & Fordham Road and the nearby Paradise Theater (Bronx) are also looking for better images.)

 * Yes when the fire took place a few weeks ago, the coverage touched on how Twin Parks was a notable housing project that was viewed with high hopes when it opened. A Newspapers.com search showed many articles. To my surprise, there was no article on the project in Wikipedia even though there were quite a few other articles on housing projects. Sad that it took a fire to bring prominence to Twin Parks. I imagine that there are a lot of worthy subjects in the "outer boroughs" of News York that are similarly neglected and deserve articles.
