South Village
Hi, thanks for your contributions to the encyclopedia, however please do not add personal statements, opinions or analysis unless they are supported by a citation from a reliable source. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:29, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello there-
 * You are most welcome. But, btw, why is "The South Village" listed as if it is a thing and not a made-up construct of the Preservation Society since 2003? Can we please ask Bob Dylan if he hung out in the South Village in the '60s? He is still around. Why is Wikipedia invested in supporting the fake designation of what is, and always has been, a part of Greenwich Village? And I'm out of line?

 * Yep, you are out of line, because you're adding your opinions -- based, I'm sure on your valid personal experiences -- without supporting them with citations from reliable sources. We call that original research.  If you believe that what your saying is factual and encyclopedic, then do a bit of research and find a source which supports them (and by research I don't mean dropping Bobby Z. a line, I mean, you know, books, magazines, newspapers, that kind of thing). One other thing, consider that even if you're correct, and that the "South Village" never existed as an entity unbtil it was created by the GVPS, is it an entity now?  I think you'll find that it actually is. Neighborhoods are living, evolving things, and don't stay static.  What was true in the 1960s isn't necesssarily true now: ask those people living in the East Village, which used to be known as part of the Lower East Side until it was invented in the late 60s/early 70s.
