As the Coast Guard lists them as lights rather than lighthouses, and most other articles on the subject use light rather than lighthouse, I was trying to keep things consistent by calling this article Carysfort Reef Light. If there is a consensus on always using lighthouse, could someone please point me to it. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 13:33, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly suspect the coast guard does so because a large number of their wards are lights but don't include houses, hence they use that nomenclature. As for local consensus, a check of some pages (Especially Lighthouses in the United States) show an about even split, however many well known/highly visible lights have pages with "Lighthouse" in the name (EG. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse). Finally, from the point of disambiguation, while it's obvious when you're on the CGs pages they're talking about lighthouses, however reading through a list provides less context and could lead to confusion with things such as Michigan City Light. 68.39.174.238 23:06, 13 December 2005 (UTC)q[reply]

A complication is that some of the reef lights that I plan to add articles for had lightships close to the same site, either before a lighthouse was built, or while a replacement was being built for a destroyed lighthouse. Ah, well, I guess I'll do whatever feels comfortable on this. thanks for the response. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 00:47, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest you create all as "lighthouse" and make a redirect page at the same time for "light". KillerChihuahua^?!? 15:06, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Move

I'm requesting this be moved to it's officially sanctioned name according to all branches of the US government that control or have controlled lighthouses. Gateman1997 02:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
