Talk:Anmore

message: Question?
I have a question, when it mentions elevation 591 feet what does that even measure?  Does that refer to the elevation of the village hall? Or some other point?
I feel that maybe elevation should be a range between the highest and lowest points. Besides in an area that's all hills and mountains, listing the elevation of a city is kinda difficult since it changes greatly depending where you go.TotallyTempo (talk) 18:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is the elevation at the administrative centre indeed (so are the coordinates). The infobox is set up to accept one value only, and I figure it's enough to give an idea. --Qyd (talk) 21:42, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: But there's an Anmore, West Virginia at least as well (google - so small I guess is why it doesn't hve much of a webpresence, but it's there for sure), though US guidelines granted would have the comma-format if that article were to come into existence; it's a decidedly Celtic-sounding name but I haven't located one in Scotland, maybe it's Irish or Anglo-Celtic ("The Moor/heath"); the BCGNIS unique-name origin only has to do with the creek; residents had a bias for a familiar-sounding name; I suspect it's a specific association that will turn up in the UK as the namesake....Skookum1 (talk) 05:30, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: WP:CANSTYLE does require that for a settlement of this size to be at the plain title, it must be a unique place name.  Therefore, I will hold off expressing any comments on this one until we ascertain that there isn't another settlement named Anmore that could equally qualify for the plain title.  --Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:08, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Support.  I've done a few searches, and I can find no settlements named Anmore elsewhere in the world.  I did even more specific searches in the U.S., U.K. and Ireland, and only came up with Anmore-Hampshire (mentioned below by Mindmatrix) and an Anmore Road in Waterlooville - since neither of these would qualify for the plain title as per WP:DAB, I am satisfied that this article can be moved as proposed.  I am also comforted by the origins of the community's name as set out in the article ("Anmore got its name from a local homesteader, F.J. Lancaster, who combined the names of his wife (Annie) and his daughter (Leonore) to make 'Annore'"), which reinforces the fact that the Canadian settlement wasn't named after one in Europe (as is so often the case).

thread_title: Proposal to rename page

message: I put a list of notable Anmorons, and added one guy who I thought was notable.  I think some people (not from Anmore) may disagree with me on the usage of Anmoron.  I am here to preemptively defend its usage.  Anmoron may sound like a dumb name (probably because it mostly consists of "Moron" but this is what Anmore residents will often refer to themselves as.  I base this on 18+ years of living in the community, and attending many community functions.  Also, there doesn"t seem to be a good substitute for the name.  Anmorian is scarcely better, and never used, and Anmorer is just plain dumb.  I maintain that the most natural and oft colloquially used name for a resident of Anmore is in fact Anmoron.  I also think that this is a debate for residents and former residents of Anmore.  I really do not see the the use for residents of other municipalities who have no connections to Anmore weighing in on this debate.  Our community, our name.

replies: text: Sooooo because you live in a place means you get to tell the rest of the Wikipedia world what people should be called? Doesn't work that way. Wikipedia is ruled by legitimate references, and the only one I can find is a Facebook page. Oh well, simple solution anyway... most community articles use "Notable residents".
