Talk:Dupont Circle

message: Do we want to open the can of worms of listing notable stores?  I love Kramer as much as the next person, but why does it merit a special mention over many of the other notable stores?  – Joe Jarvis 13:58, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
Kramer is a three-decade-old community hub, one of DC's few 24-hour places, and the very incarnation of the urban independent bookstore. Also, who can forget its footnote status in U.S. history, thanks to Kenneth Starr's attempt to subpoena Monica Lewinsky's book purchases? (Gee, maybe I'll start a Kramerbooks page.) :) Bbpen 02:28, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Perhaps it should be noted that Orlando Letelier was assassinated in Dupont Circle?  Certianly is historically significant.

thread_title: Assassination of Orlando Letelier

message: I see there's a bit of a revert war going on over the mention of the Church of Scientology. I'm ambivalent about it--I guess I'm inclined to include it, especially if it's their national headquarters, as I'm in favor of more information over less information, but if included (and it only merits the briefest of mentions) it should link to a Wikipedia article on Scientology, and not to the Scientology website. Note also that the building itself has only been occupied by the Church of Scientology for about 10 years or so--it's a former restaurant (and probably a private home before that), and not a "church" as most people are familiar with the word.

replies: text: Dunno about the Church of Scientology article, but I've added a cite to the Dupont Circle church's Website, which makes the claim itself.PRRfan (talk) 03:28, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Church of Scientology?

message: It would have been nice to open the article move up for discussion. I, for one, would oppose it. There is no reason why Dupont Circle shouldn't be at the primary usage of the name, in my opinion, and simply makes things more confusing for readers. I propose moving the article back to the primary usage. Best, epicAdam(talk) 19:18, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Article move

message: Under the history section, does anyone think an old photo should be included? I uploaded this picture, although there are several other historical photos available online. If it's added, one of the other three photos should be moved to avoid clutter. But I'm not sure where it would fit. APK I got your crazy 18:08, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I prefer not including both the map and the aerial image.  I may be making new neighborhood maps that show detail, but also show the location within the city.  Here is one for Dupont Circle. With a new map, I would move one of the images to the infobox or put the map in the infobox. --Aude (talk) 19:21, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Kudos on the map. Great work. So you think adding your image to the infobox and removing the aerial & current maps is cool? If so, I'll replace the old map with the Blaine photo. APK I got your crazy 19:27, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The Blaine Mansion image is definitely a good addition.  I don't have a preference, regarding what goes in the infobox. --Aude (talk) 19:41, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I was bold and replaced them. Although the image caption I added might need some work. APK I got your crazy 20:27, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Historical images

message: Several historical buildings located in Sheridan-Kalorama are mentioned in this article. The boundary between Dupont and SK is Florida Avenue (example: Cosmos Club = Dupont; Embassy of Estonia = SK). I didn't know this until researching property on dc.gov and reading about the Sheridan-Kalorama Historic District. Anywho, I'll go ahead and remove Christian Hauge House, Joseph Beale House, Charles Evans Hughes House, Friends Meeting House, Codman-Davis House, Barney Studio House, Textile Museum, Woodrow Wilson House, and Sheridan Circle from the article. I doubt anyone cares, but in case someone wanted to know why I took them out...well, now you know. (:>p)  APK thinks he's ready for his closeup 17:07, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I created a list of Dupont-related topics, in case you guys and gals want to create/expand/improve some articles. APK thinks he's ready for his closeup 02:27, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Boundaries

message: APK be confused.  I've always wondered when an article's title is also a category (i.e. :Category:Dupont Circle), does that mean only the parent category belongs on the main article?  I moved all the categories from this article, but now I'm not so sure it was the correct thing to do.  Can someone offer an opinion, por favor?  APK whisper in my ear 09:04, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

message: An anon asserted that Dupont Circle "may be used as a synecdoche" for its embassies and think tanks. I tagged it "citation needed," and the anon responded with a citation that did not back up the assertion. So I have removed the text pending relevant citations.

replies: text: It's moreso one of those things that need to be disproved rather than proved. The Brookings blog post that was cited inferred what was asserted at least twice.72.174.131.123 (talk) 13:39, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry, but that's not how Wikipedia works. You want to add some text, you need to cite reliable sources that back it up.
