Talk:Hudson Heights, Manhattan

message: I removed the following unsourced material which seems POV: "Hudson Heights is located in Washington Heights.  It is bordered by presently largely latino neighborhoods of the working poor. Older Irish and Slavic working class residents, having lived in the neighborhood long before real estate appreciation, greeted this new name for this largely white, upper middle class enclave, with a variation: hudson whites."--agr 22:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Hudson whites

message: The person who noted the tonal concerns has already changed the two he mentioned that he disliked. All requested references, except for some "notable residents," have been added. As for the uncited residents, I have no objection to your deleting them -- I think some people add any name of anyone famous who's ever taken the subway through the neighborhood. Kissinger doesn't live in Hudson Heights, and if he did as a kid, someone should provide a fact. Stevew316 (talk) 19:49, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: References and tonal concerns

message: What do you do when no one in a neighborhood call an area by the name a group of realtors and publicists have selected for it?   There doesn't seem to be any such place as "Hudson Heights" except for that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pfhenshaw (talk • contribs) 00:36, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Pfhenshaw is quite correct in pointing out that the name is a concoction that is NOT used by locals, except in real estate listings.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrlord (talk • contribs) 19:56, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually bith Pfhenshaw  and you are entirely wrong.  I happen to live in the neighborhood, and the name is used throughout.  Now, the people in the rest of Washington Heights -- of which Hudson Heights is a sub-neighborhood, being too small to be its own full-fledged neighborhood -- may not use it much, but that's an entirely different issue.  Anyone who has any sensitivity at all to the "look and feel" of a neighborhood will tell you that Hudson Heights feels distinctly different from Washington Heights in general, and its physical separation (up on a bluff) contributes to that. Anyone who says different doesn't know their Flatiron from their Flatlands. BMK (talk) 01:23, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Whose name is it??

message: Whose name is it? Please read the article through. You'll see that local businesses include it in their names, the local newspaper (The Manhattan Times) uses it in references to the area, as do sources from The New York Times to national magazines. And you'll find out that the name came about not from real estate agents or publicists but by a local group of neighborhood activists in the early 1990s. Granted, not everyone who lives here calls it Hudson Heights, but does everyone in Turtle Bay call it that, or do they just say East Midtown? And if some residents of the Upper West Side don't know they live in a neighborhood called Lincoln Square, does that mean it doesn't exist? Stevew316 (talk) 16:52, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree completely with Stevew316. The fact is the name is used by many (not all) to describe a specific subsection of Washington Heights, and no matter what one feels about this, the article's existence is entirely appropriate, especially since it is the most commonly used name associated with this sub-section, even if a non-majority of Washington Heights residents and outsiders use it (which there is no data to support, either way). I will add that the debate regarding usage of the name Hudson Heights by residents, outsiders and the real estate industry is quite interesting. I happen to be pretty neutral on the subject. I think that it's important, however, to draw attention to those critical of the name. I think there is enough data out there to warrant a section devoted to the controversy surrounding the name. It would also address the fact that the quote from the Columbia professor and the mention of those not using the name are out of place in their respective sections.

thread_title: Name in the neighborhood

message: I performed  to fix a problem where the blockquote did not render as obviously, but this edit reverted it with the summary "curly quotes are not for use in article text - see documentation". But according to Template:Pull quote/doc, it says something entirely different, that the template should only be used to repeat already quoted text. Should it still be used to clarify the quote, though? I appreciate Beyond My Ken's recent edits to alleviate this, but I don't know if the blockquote HTML element works as effectively. Epicgenius (talk) 03:44, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: From Template:Pullquote:  is a template meant for pull quotes, the visually distinctive repetition of text that is already present in the same article. In most cases, this is not appropriate for use in encyclopedia articles.(emphasis added) So the answer is, no, you should not use it, and yes, my edit summary properly encapsulated the template's documentation.  You may want to read it again. BMK (talk) 04:14, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You said "not for use in article text". You meant something slightly different, namely that it should not be for use unless it repeats already standing quotes. Anyway, I get the point, and I appreciate your opinion. Epicgenius (talk) 04:50, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
