Talk:Tri-State area (New York-New Jersey-Connecticut)

message: OK, # 1, I thooink most people call this the Tri-State Area (not the tri-state region). #2, the article introduces the concept of tri state area and says they exist in many states, but then talks solely about the NY-NJ-CT one. There is a link to the disambig but i recommend a name change. I am going to remove the info about other tri state areas as ppl can use the dismbig page. Bonus Onus 22:59, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
:I agree... I've lived here my whole live, and I've always called it the "Tri-State Area" and have rarely if ever heard "Tri-State Region" used... //MrD9 02:27, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, If Connecticut is part of New England, then it can't also be part of the Tri-State Area. Try using Pennsylvania and leave Connecticut to New England. 76.231.24.230 (talk) 05:10, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Same here. I've never heard anyone call it the Tri-State Region, it's always the Tri-State Area. --128.205.80.141 12:07, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A quick Google search suggests that "tri-state region" is a less frequently used synonym for "tri-state area" used by some organizations in several different tri-state areas, not just the NYC area. This article should be deleted, and any relevant content should be moved to Tri-state area or New York metropolitan area.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.161.230.22 (talk) 13:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Minneso-WHAT?

message: This page should be a listing of all the tri-state regions that people talk about.  New York metropolitan area should get all of the nyc stuff, simply because it's unambiguous and what most people say...  (you never say, "I'm flying into the Tri-State Region" -- you say, "I'm flying into New York"). --Quasipalm 14:48, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This definately should be done. Or the article should at least be called "New York Tri-State Area" or something, since nobody uses the term tri-state region, anyway, and there are many more than just the NY/NJ/CT one... //MrD9 19:45, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: merge to New York metropolitan area

message: *Shouldn't other Tri-State areas or regions, be listed though. Like where I'm from is the Tri-State of Sothern Indiana, Western Kentucky, and South Western Illinois.  Its a pretty common term, and so it probably shouldn't be redirected just have a brief mention. Newbie222 03:19, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: * I agree -- done.  --Quasipalm 19:30, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Other tri state areas

message: I grew up in New London County, Connecticut.  In school I was taught that all of Connecticut was part of the tri-state, and I see businesses that have, "Tri-State," as a prefix all over the county and the one to the north.  What do you base inclusion on? --Lekogm 23:11, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I grew up in New Milford, Connecticut, and all people I know in the area, and all media references I've heard used the term "Tri-state area" to refer to both the states of New Jersey New York and Connecticut, and the general area in the 3 states around New York City.

replies: text:  Seriously? This isn't a hard concept to grasp.  Any time one state shares borders with two others, you have a "Tri State Area". It's that simple.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.19.95 (talk) 02:17, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  more than just Fairfield and New Haven counties...... 

message: If it's true that there are other areas that call themselves "The Tri-State Area," then there should be a disambig page called "Tri-State Area" with links to the individual areas. If it's true (as I suspect) that the term usually refers to the NY Metro Area, then it should redirect to that page.
Unfortunately the "Tri-State Area" page is currently occupied by a page that discusses state tri-points, not the regions around them. I've posted a simiar comment on their talk page.
Finally, this page, "Tri-State Region," should be about the general concept of metro areas composed of the parts of three states, regardless of their names, since we all agree that no one from the Tri-State Area calls it "the tri-state region."

thread_title:  Tri-state area/ region/ point 

message: I don't believe the following to be accurate or worthy of an enciclopedic posting:
"The term is heavily used in advertising, and is commonplace in commercials for car dealerships.
Other people commonly considered intelligent consider the Tri-State Area to comprise 3 states as the term suggests, much like New England. Those states are New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The first person to correctly define this term was Kyle Webber."
Should this be eliminated?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.0.26.100 (talk) 00:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is this even an article?  Tri-state Area is used any time you have three states in proximity -- which happens in a large number of combination all over the country.  THe meaning of TSA depends entirely on your state of residence - 48 of the 50 states have "tri state areas".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.19.95 (talk) 02:15, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  What?

message: A) Shouldn't Warren County be listed under New Jersey?
B) If Pike County is included in the map, and is considered part of the Tri-State Area, shouldn't Pennsylvania be listed in the states?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.32.87 (talk) 03:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

message: We should figure out a consistent capitalization for this term. I recommend full capitalization, since it's a well-known geographic area. Either "Tri-State Area" or "Tri-state Area" should be used, in my opinion, with my personal favor on the latter, as "Tri-state" is, grammatically, one word. In any case, the "area" in the page's title should be capitalized.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.215.160 (talk) 23:32, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
