Talk:Manhattan

Landmarks and architecture section

Even a bulleted list would be better than it looks now... We can see the names of the landmarks one after another in the paragraph without any description, it does not look good. Can someone make it right? Kapeter77 (talk) 06:11, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Kapeter77, I disagree that "it does not look good" because that is your personal opinion. I agree it may be better formatted as a list, but the list needs an introductory sentence before it, such as "This is a list of landmarks in Manhattan". However, the way you formatted it, you kept the punctuation in, as though it were a single sentence (which it is not). This results in list entries reading

• Museum Mile on Fifth Avenue, the
• New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street,

And somehow, Port Authority Bus Terminal was placed on two lines.

The sentence after this list is a run-on: Also gateways to numerous iconic river-crossing bridges, and an emerging number of supertall skyscrapers, are all located on densely populated Manhattan Island; the Statue of Liberty rests on a pedestal on Liberty Island, an exclave of Manhattan. These issues should be discussed before we re-add this list. epicgenius (talk) 13:32, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

I've reorganized it, let's see how that works. epicgenius (talk) 13:57, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

epicgenius How did you do that? :-) Kapeter77 (talk) 09:23, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Kapeter77, the templates {{div col}} and {{div col end}}. By the way Moxy has tagged the section with the {{prose}} cleanup banner now, so I am guessing they disagree with this format. epicgenius (talk) 13:18, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Looks good to me. Definitely clearer than the earlier version. Hopefully Moxy will explain why they prefer the prose one. --regentspark (comment) 14:11, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Shouldn’t The Dakota be in the list as well? (Architecture, Celebrities living in it, important role in film etc.)--Chip-chip-2020 (talk) 09:30, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Can we have semi-protection?

I'd like to say that the article about Manhattan needs semi-protection, due to the fact that it has over 100,000 views, and later in the future, some people may vandalize it and might actually delete the entire page and only leave the name of it. Interesting536 (talk) 20:33, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

We do not pre-emptively protect articles in case they might get vandalised. There are plenty of people watching this article, nothing about the editing history on it suggests it needs any protection.

Yang image

I'm removing this because the timing, coming as it is before the Mayoral primary, is suspect. I suggest getting consensus before re-adding it. --RegentsPark (comment) 15:28, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

If a tech entreprenuer image is necessary, Dwight Merriman is a possibility.--RegentsPark (comment) 15:32, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Yang is a household name and therefore more notably appropriate, but I have no objection to Dwight Merriman for now. Castncoot (talk) 15:42, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Help With Some Linking

When I tried editing the article a short while ago, I tried to link the 1844 United States presidential election in New York article so that it would match up with the other elections on the table so it wouldn't simply be linked to the main 1844 United States presidential election. However, when I tried linking up that article, I ended up deleting the table by mistake and I had to undo my edit. Could I please have some help with actually linking the article without it deleting the table? --JCC the Alternate Historian (talk) 23:25, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Politics

Information about presidential election results cites returns from the 2004 election, presumably to offer a contemporary snapshot. It is now nearing 2022; could somebody please update these references with statistics from the 2020 election?
