Talk:East Rock, New Haven

message: I think the Cedar Hill neighborhood article should be merged into the East Rock neighborhood article. This issue has already been discussed to some extent at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:StAkAr_Karnak#Cedar_Hill_Area . 
Geographically, the Cedar Hill area is very small (if you leave out the parts of East Rock Park that seem to be encompassed in the boundaries defined on the article page, although renamed "Indian Head Rock" for purposes of the article).  It is clear that the Cedar Hill area (essentially, as I understand it, this is the section of the city of New Haven that lies between the Mill River and East Rock on the west, the I-91 connector on the south, and the rail yards on the east) has concerns very different from those of the larger East Rock neighborhood.  However, these unique concerns do not change the fact that the Cedar Hill area is generally considered to be part of the East Rock neighborhood. The laudable existence of a neighborhood association is not sufficient reason to establish a separate encyclopedia entry.
Furthermore, information about the Cedar Hill area seems to be derived almost entirely from the page author's own unpublished research (see Wikipedia:No_original_research) and the  neighborhood association website (which in turn links to the Wikipedia article for "Cedar Hill history"), making the article a questionable contribution. 
I think that the information in the Cedar Hill article (with suitable source attribution, of course) would "work" well as a component of the East Rock neighborhood article. --orlady 23:38, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Support - I did some work on the Cedar Hill article, but it was mostly reorganizing the content.  I am familliar with the area and a merge seems to make sense.  It is unfortunate that the sources are not available. -- StAkAr Karnak 01:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Propose merging [[Cedar Hill, Connecticut]] into [[East Rock (neighborhood)]] 

message: No, I was the one that put this up. My area has been ignored by people from the East Rock Area for a hundred years that area has stolen parts of Cedar Hills history and we are trying to reclaim it. If you combine it us with East Rock you need to combine, Prospect Hill, Newhallville, as well! Wooster Street is a small area too. I did all this research to reclaim are history and you want to take it away again????--Happypixie 23:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: From some preliminary reading I am starting to agree with Happypixie. From the geography alone, it is clear that the outlying sections of the City-designated neighborhoods of East Rock, Mill River, and Quinnipiac Meadows that comprise Cedar Hill area are physically segregated from these other neighborhoods. There is this big hunk of rock between East Rock and Cedar Hill after all. --Polaron | Talk 00:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
