User talk:North Catasauqua small town USA

On May 21, 2007 North Catasauqua Borough Council and well as North Catasauqua Mayor Bill Molchany officially christened North Catasauqua as "small Town USA". The nickname is now on all of the borough welcome signs as well as other official correspondences from the borough. Just as Pennyslvania is the Keystone State and New Jersey is the Garden State, states, towns and boroughs can officially have nicknames.


 * Did you even look at the comment I posted on the North Catasauqua discussion page? Please do so.  Of course a borough can have a nickname -- my point is that, unless "Small Town U.S.A." is commonly understood as refering to North Catasauqua, then it is not a nickname.  The Borough Council and the Mayor may officially christened North Catasauqua as "small Town U.S.A." but official action does not a nickname make.


 * Despite the fact that I've yet to see a citation, I think it is appropriate to mention "Small Town U.S.A." in the article. I'm going to include the following sentence in the introduction: "On May 21, 2007, Borough Council and Mayor Bill Mochany officially christened North Catasauqua 'Small Town U.S.A.'" This seems fair, as it still mentions "Small Town U.S.A." without erroneously refering to it as a nickname (which, as my comment on the talk page explains, it is not, despite the presence of official action).  I hope you find this compromise to be adequate.


 * Finally, if you are going to revert any more edits, please pay attention to what you are doing. You've twice reverted legitimate edits that have nothing to do with the alleged nickname.  You keep changing the link for Allen Township and you keep capitalizing the word "borough" in the education section.  Wikipedia's article for that township is  Allen Township, Pennsylvania  not  Allen Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania  and borough should not be capitalized because it is not a proper noun.
