Talk:Geneseo, New York

message: I understand that the University has its own very good page, but does it not have a very significant impact on the town?  It is not mentioned in any of the modern account of the town, nor is it internally linked.  It is only present in the pictures and an external link.  I'm not qualified to fix this, but I think it's a very substantial issue with the article. Boycottfood (talk) 22:06, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The article is a very good start, and I particularly like the infobox photo (nice work!). But it is largely incomplete, and does not meet the completeness requirement of the GA criteria. There are also insufficient reference citations as well, particularly in the history section (at the beginning) and the demographics section. I would recommend taking a look at the template/guideline WP:USCITY, and it will be quite clear of the information that is missing from the article (economy, climate, culture, government, education, transportation, etc). The prose is overall pretty good, but it couldn't hurt to review the wikipedia manual of style; most notably, there's quite a few unnecessarily bolded words in the article that could be fixed. WP:LEAD would provide useful tips on improving the introductory section. The formatting of references seems ok (although there's just not enough references). Review WP:CITE and WP:V for more information on this. Two good examples of existing GAs that you might take a look at are Flagstaff, Arizona and Richmond, Virginia. Good luck!

message: Attention: Geneseor village and the Town of Geneseo are TWO different places. This merger was unjustified and is inconsistent with how the the political entities of the state are recorded in Wikipedia. It is my intention to undo this harm. Stepp-Wulf (talk) 02:07, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Stepp-Wulf!  This merger took place nearly two years ago, after consensus on this WikiEN-l thread decided that it would be appropriate to merge the two articles, given that there is very little distinction between the village and town except for governmental purposes.  As a resident of Geneseo, I can attest that the town and village are commonly treated as the same; the distinction is made clear in the article's introduction. --bdesham ★ 04:00, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If the two were merged as a result of consensus, I would say they should only be unmerged by consensus, although personally I don't mind how they are presented so long as it is made clear that the two are separate municipalities. --JBC3 (talk) 16:54, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Error 

message: * All political entities in New York (indeed, across the USA) have an individual article (except this one), including those with the same name (e.g. Hamburg, New York, Oyster Bay, New York, etc.). Even non-political entities, such as hamlets, have separate articles, in some cases. Stepp-Wulf (talk) 03:29, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As I mentioned, the issue was raised on the WikiEN-l mailing list, and the facts presented.  The mailing list is considered an official form of Wikipedia community discussion.  You can look through the archive linked above to see exactly what was said. --bdesham ★ 23:01, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

text: One other [bad] merger, proves my point more than it contradicts it, right? Stepp-Wulf (talk) 00:55, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: The merger should not prevail. This is not a good idea. Where two entities exist, even overlapping, they should continue to have separate articles. The situation of villages within towns is common in other areas. Also, cities within metros. "Article creep" where the larger "creeps" into the smaller, should be stopped. A tiny (silly) example: Hoboken "has" Laguardia Airport to fly from. Nice, except it is across a body of water into another state, hours away during rush hour. Hoboken has no airport. But that's Hoboken. The answer would not be to do away with Hoboken and have a merged article with Laguardia! (Hope they're not monitoring this article!). Student7 (talk) 14:28, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
