Talk:The Palisades (Hudson River)

message: I'm not too savvy with the editing, so if someone could please make a disambiguation page for 'The Palisades'...since they're cliffs on the Hudson River as well as a neighborhood in Washington, D.C.

:Hmmm. I guess this should be New Jersey Palisades, and there would also be a link to Palisades (Manhattan) if necessary. I'm not going to do to the disambig right now, but I would support it if we're voting or whatever the cabal wants. --SPUI (talk) 07:33, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I have never been happy with New Jersey Palisades as the title for this article. I was perfectly happy with The Palisades, though I can understand why it needs a qualifier of some sort. While I reside in New Jersey, just a few miles from the Palisades (or is it the New Jersey Palisades), I'm not sure that New Jersey should be the qualifier. The article itself states that the cliffs continue for 20 miles in New York State, and New York Palisades would be just as appropriate. But my vote would be to move the article to Hudson River Palisades; it deals with the NY vs. NJ issue, and the line of cliffs follows the river, not any other border or feature. Any thoughts?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Alansohn (talk • contribs) 
Totally agree with you, Alan. The cliffs do continue past the state line, and the park is called "Interstate" for a good reason. Daniel Case 17:30, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The list of Palisades crossings seems, um, trivial.    If there are interesting parts to it, fine, but noting each street seems a bit excessive. dm (talk) 16:03, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Reference would have been to metaphor "Beyond the pale," rooted in the Latin palus (which ended up a root of the English palisade, not the English word "boundary"). Wikiuser100 (talk) 14:36, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Figurative meaning 

message: Is there any objection to moving this article to Hudson Palisades? The new name would satisfy WP:NATURAL (by using a rewording to remove the parentheses), and WP:CONCISE. Dralwik|Have a Chat 02:14, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I object, because they're not called that locally - no one says "Hey, let's go hiking on the Husdon Palisades", they say "Lets go hiking on the Palisades."  Since they're called "The Palisades", the (Hudson River) is required for disambiguation. BMK (talk) 20:26, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: FWIW, having lived in the area all my life, I've never heard anybody call it anything other than "The Palisades".  -- RoySmith (talk) 23:37, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

message: Your articles about the preservation of the New Jersey/New York Palisades have failed to mention the important work of Major S. Wood McClave, a resident of Cliffside Park, New Jersey, who was also known as the “Father of the Hudson River Bridge,” but who strongly believed in the preservation of the Palisades north of the bridge. He worked tirelessly to preserve the Palisades and wrote many articles about it (even radio broadcasts!). 24.151.126.59 (talk) 05:21, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
