Talk:Chimayo, New Mexico

message: A long time ago somebody took out my  entry as being an advertisement or something. It is an old and classical establishment there which I have dined at on and off since 1974. In Wikipedia I see zillions of entries (whole pages) for rock bands, sports clubs, etc. In the  entry, "Circus Circus" is not only mentioned but there's a photo of the interior. In Miami the Bank of America Tower is pictured and was not removed as an advertisement or promotion. So I wish somebody would put back that harmless reference to one of the few local landmarks in Chimayo other than churches. I have no financial interest in it and now live far from it.

replies: text: It would be so much better to put a photo of it than a link to their ad. Dicklyon (talk) 16:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

text: You are right. Maybe I will look for that - but then there are permissions and how to post a photo etc none of which I know. But thanks Carrionluggage (talk) 17:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll see if I can get one at some point. But if you have a photo you took, uploading it is easy. Just click on "upload file" and follow the directions. If you need any help, feel free to contact me. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 03:37, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ranchos de Chimayo 

message: Just because the accent is not on the ó in some "official" place may not mean much. The locals pronounce it with the stress on the terminal "o". Maybe best to call the mayor or the chamber of commerce. Many maps, atlases, gazetteers, encyclopediae, etc deliberately misspell a few town and street names, for copyright reasons (a copier will copy the mistake!) On  you will see "Chimayó is located 40 miles south of Taos and 24 miles northeast of Santa Fe, about ten miles east of Espanola in the Sangre de Cristo mountains. It is on" etc Carrionluggage (talk) 20:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The official name of the census-designated place is Chimayo: type it into the Factfinder if you want to be certain. Nyttend (talk) 02:09, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

text: This is an article on the census-designated place (CDP). The CDP is not entitled ó, any more than the various CDPs in Hawaii have  and macron accents on their names, like some people there have tried to do. Anyway, Cañon City is an incorporated municipality: the CDP isn't, and therefore its name is assigned by the Census Bureau. Can you find a source that says that the CDP is named ó?

replies: text: I have edited the lead to make it clear that the article is not intended to be primarily about the CDP; it now has both spellings. Dicklyon (talk) 05:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Note that both of the first two refs include the spelling with the accent, and one of those is form a state agency. Dicklyon (talk) 16:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  careful with atlases, maps, etc. 

message: Let's talk about his section.
:"Obviously, numbers can be bandied about endlessly.  For instance, a new study regarding prescription drug use noted that West Virginia has the highest incidence of drug overdose fatalities, and New Mexico is one of the top five states for drug abuse fatalities (the others being West Virginia, Kentucky, Nevada and Oklahoma).  The study also revealed that there are now more prescription drug-related deaths than deaths from heroin and cocaine combined. Incidentally, the study also concluded that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted that in 2010 enough prescription pain killers were prescribed in the U.S. to medicate every adult American for one month (http://www.upi.com/blog/2013/10/07/West-Virginia-is-the-top-state-for-drug-overdose-fatalities/9301381163852/). The point is, should you avoid Chimayo, or the rest of New Mexico (or West Virginia, Kentucky, Nevada or Oklahoma)?  Probably not, but you should be prudent and careful here, just like everywhere else in this world."
First of all, "obviously" is one of the 27 words or phrases meaning "in my opinion".  It has no place here,  Neither does the "you" that shows up later. The rest of this at best refers to the state of New Mexico and others and does not mention Chimayo or the surrounding area.  Person posting this, why not register as an editor and we can discuss this in the normal way. Carptrash (talk) 15:08, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
