Talk:Manchester, New Hampshire

message: There seems to be an obsession about size in the introduction. It gets alot boring reading through it. Isn't the introduction suppose to give a person a thumbnail sketch of the city? Shouldn't the thinking be that if a person is going to only read one paragraph about about the city, that is what you would want them to know. I know Manchester has more going for it then being the biggest fish in the pond. Dave 2346 (talk) 18:00, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the intro got bogged down with the fine points of people counting, so I moved the NECTA details into the Demographics section.  Now there is room in the intro for more interesting overview info about Manchester, should someone feel inclined to take that on.--Ken Gallager (talk) 19:18, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. The intro is necessary to include all points... 115.117.146.153 (talk) 05:38, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, no.  If you put all points in the introduction, it wouldn't be an introduction, would it?  It would be the whole article.--Ken Gallager (talk) 14:06, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

message: NHRD practices at least 2/3 of the season and bouts at Manchester's JFK Memorial Coliseum (see citations on both New Hampshire Roller Derby and Nashua, NH pages). They are currently listed on the Nashua page but should also be listed in Manchester. Because I am affiliated with this league, and given the apparent history of this page, I do not feel comfortable making the addition (in compliance with Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest policies). Additional references can be provided as needed for this. Anguissette1979 (talk) 21:03, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Added it here.  I left a comment on the Nashua page, wondering why it's listed there. --Ken Gallager (talk) 17:43, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Ken : With All Due Respect, to my knowledge NHRD practices at Roller Kingdom on the Nashua/Ma border for the year and has games "bouts" at JFK. Kinda like how MVRG practices at there own facility here in Manchester but has games "bouts" at the West Side Arena. So if I am correct they should be listed in both places. Maybe make a notation on that this is where they host Games and make Nashua there Home practice space for the rest of the year. But i won't add anything/tweak anything since the "conflict of interest" is also in my court. Just trying to make sure everything is correct. WiiBlockHer (talk) 07:48, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: My point is that Roller Kingdom is not in Nashua.  It's in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. If they practiced across the river in Hudson, they'd be listed in Hudson, not Nashua.  A similar example is with the Rockingham County Courthouse.  Several years ago, the state moved the courthouse out of Exeter onto undeveloped land in neighboring Brentwood.  Guess where the county seat of Rockingham County is now?  Not Exeter anymore, even though Exeter is clearly the more significant community.--Ken Gallager (talk) 13:32, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Manchester, Nashua... Tyngsborough?

message: OK.  It's about time.  I know that like 4 years ago, the ManchVegas article survived a barely noticed deletion discussion.  Still, there does not seem to be anything much at the ManchVegas article that couldn't be said here, I don't think we're well served with two articles here.  The term is certainly used often, but its just not worth keeping a seperate article about.  Any ideas?  --Jayron32 03:59, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I support merging.  How about putting the "ManchVegas" info in the Culture section? (Removing duplicate info as needed, of course.)  --Ken Gallager (talk) 17:43, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

text: I also support merging. As Ken said, place "ManchVegas" into the cultural section... no reason for seperate article--Ericci8996 (talk) 02:18, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

text: I don't see any need for a separate article. Go ahead and merge. Robofish (talk) 14:44, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

message: We watch BYUtv "Story Trek" where they do stories of citizens in rural and urban neighborhoods. They were in Manchester, New Hampshire, and were told by police in two patrol cars that it would be illegal to do such a story in Manchester.  What's that about? -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 01:38, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know, but it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with this article. --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:59, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  What's to hide? 

message: There's a section in the article entitled "passenger rail (future)".  Has this happened?  Does this section need to be updated or deleted?  Thanks.  Magnolia677 (talk) 21:16, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

message: I am not certain I understand the value to include all of the major New England airports in this section in a fairly localized article. I would suggest removing all information about air travel in this section from the words "Alternative airports include". Steve Lux, Jr. (talk) 21:41, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There is no evidence online of Manchester, NH and Manchester, England having any signed agreement to be sister cities. Manchester, England website makes no mention of Manchester, NH: https://secure.manchester.gov.uk/info/100004/the_council_and_democracy/5903/international_civic_links
I managed to find that there was a proposal made back in 2013 but it looks like nothing ever proceeded past that. https://www.fosters.com/article/20130211/AP02/302119981?template=ampart
So I've removed it from the page as the original edit back in 2017 was made with zero citations from an anonymous IP that has since been blocked for vandalizing Wikipedia.  Flibblesan (talk) 00:56, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of Manchester, England from the 'Sister Cities' section 

message: I added details about the bus service, and how that service has been cut back in recent years. But it looks like most of that was removed from the article, and I'm just not sure why. It's especially odd to see such a tiny Bus section now, compared to the long Passenger Rail section. After all, there is bus service in Manchester today but no passenger rail service. And let's be honest, the chances of passenger rail ever returning to the state of NH is very low. So why not cut down on the rail talk and give readers more useful information about the bus?
