text: Yes, me too. It should be merged into Koreatown,_Manhattan. Please then add a redirect from Korea Way to Koreatown,_Manhattan. 81.62.19.1 (talk) 16:10, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

text: Agree. I posted a "merge" notice on Korea Way and will effectuate the merger when I get a chance, unless someone else gets there before me. ScottyBerg (talk) 16:40, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

text: Done. ScottyBerg (talk) 16:50, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, ScottyBerg, that's great. I have added some of text that was in Korea Way, which got lost in the merge. Doing so, I had to rewrite a couple of sentence and reorder some elements, though without adding or removing any content. 81.62.19.1 (talk) 20:05, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, I was hoping someone else would pitch in on that, as I got caught up with another article. ScottyBerg (talk) 20:27, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge?

message: Does anyone have a photo of the "Korea Way" street sign post? ( http://www.google.ch/search?q=Korea%20Way%2032nd%20street%20Manhattan%20new%20york&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1711&bih=879 ). And does anyone know whether the name Korea Way is informally or officially? (say, did the mayor's office designed it? or is it just a touristy thing?) Thanks. 85.1.41.185 (talk) 13:42, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually there are several hundred if not thousand streets, corners and such that are given names by the City Council. However, these do not replace the official street names, with a few exceptions, and thus Korea Way could still not be called the "official" name of the street. However, we could note that it was named as such by the City Council. There was recently an article in the Times on a street renaming in the Bronx that discussed this subject.

replies: text: That's clear, they don't replace the regular street name. Thanks for checking out the City Council. I guess "aka" is fine. 85.1.88.11 (talk) 07:21, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There must be some other way of adding those honorary street names. The community board, maybe? Anyway, thanks for your help in merging the articles. ScottyBerg (talk) 13:21, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Korea Way sign post 

message: This sentence is confusing.  "Manhattan's Koreatown was once focused on fulfilling the needs of the burgeoning Korean-American community in the New York City metropolitan area, an estimated 201,393 individuals, according to the 2009 American Community Survey, and the second largest ethnic Korean population outside of Korea."  What does it mean?  That figure of 201,393 tries to sound like the population of Manhattan's Koreatown is 201,393, but if you look at the source, it is the aggregate Korean population of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.  This is area is many thousand times the area of Koreatown.  I believe it should be edited or left out.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.20.190.133 (talk) 19:21, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've removed that sentence.  It seems to contribute nothing but to serve New Yorkers' need for superlatives.  (yes, I live in NYC) Paranoid123 (talk) 20:35, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Originally in October of 1995 Local Law No. 85 changed the name of Broadway between 31st and 32nd Streets. (Proceedings of the Council of the City of New York Vol. ii part ii. July 19, 1995 to December 20 1995, pages 2888, 3723-3724) It should be noted that the district actually developed from the Korean wholesalers who moved to B'way to be near the fashion district (selling Korean wigs, accessories, clothes, and other goods) and that the bookstore and restaurants sprung up to support these businesses. I am looking for info on when and why Korea Way was moved to 32nd St. Anyone have that info?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.110.49 (talk) 15:56, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

message: According to our article "Koreatown...has been expanding further eastward from Fifth Avenue along East 32nd Street, toward Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, in the direction of Queens." Why is Queens mentioned here? If you went far enough east, you would indeed reach Queens (after crossing the East River and part of Brooklyn), so it's not false, but is it relevant? Is there an implied connection to the Korean neighborhood in Flushing? I feel that the reference to Queens will be meaningless to people unfamiliar with New York's geography, and unnecessary to those who are. pburka (talk) 03:51, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
