Talk:University District, Seattle

message: Are there some sources to back the reference to party crasher gun violence? It seems somewhat at odds with my experiences in the neighborhood on weekends. It might want some language to point out that such nonsense is rare (that or I'm just lucky/sheltered in my U. District experiences). w?c 03:16, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Besides the local newspapers of record, The Daily of the U of W covers all about that beat closely (Archives by year back to 1995, off-line back to c. 1891).  The North Seattle Herald-Outlook covers thoroughly a little less, and Real Change has had some good insights.  After quite some sensational peaks in recent years, the UW has joined with the SPD and neighborhood groups in Community Policing liaison with the fraternities toward ameliorating the bad rep, along with prominent police patrolling on the most popular nights.  Documentation provided for organized crime, see article.  --GoDot 07:11, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  References for gun violence 

message: Accuracy is a goal.
"[O]n the east by the Burke-Gilman Trail and 25th Avenue NE," is less accurate in that the two are parallel, therefore logically "and" doesn't apply here.  Further, contiguous UW facilities are sited betweeen them, and by definition these would be in the U District.  More accurately, "on the north by NE Ravenna Boulevard and NE 45th Street," is per cited reference map.  "[I]s known throughout the city", since asking such as any bus driver how to get there will be recognized.  ("U Village" is similarly recognized by anyone who knows the prominent city places.)
::Both Burke-Gilman and 25th Avenue are necessary in that the Burke-Gilman is the eastern boundary south of 45th and 25th north of 45th. As for the cited reference map, I challenge its accuracy. I have a hard time including East Campus in the U-District. If anything I would consider it part of the greater U-Village neighborhood or even Montlake (listen to a sports broadcast lately?). Take away East Campus and 45th is no longer the northern limit of anything. --Lukobe 06:16, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I only removed "The Avenue"--I don't believe the street is known as such --Lukobe 06:19, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Oh come on. NPOV violations are rife in Wikipedia, but this isn't one of them. It simply isn't the Meany Hotel anymore. That's what it was built as, and that's what you can still call it and be understood, but its name was changed. The official name should still appear at least once in any article that mentions it. I don't get it--why are you such a stickler for citations and officialdom but not in this case? --Lukobe 06:16, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

text: "its" is not the same as "indigenous".  --GoDot 07:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accuracy 

message: Do we really want to include "East Campus" as part of the U-District? Does the U-District really extend all the way to Surber Drive in Laurelhurst? --Lukobe 05:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Please see footnotes of the article first paragraph, and reference to Dolan & True in Union Bay Natural Area (paragraph beginning, "The Montlake Landfill, University Dump, or Ravenna Landfill").  The three maps qualify as primary sources, Phelps drew extensively from primary sources, "HISTORY @ UBNA" cites primary sources.  UBNA is a department of the UW.  The sources are consistent.  --GoDot 06:03, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Boundaries 

message: Many of the references seem to be nonstandard; I can make no sense of "Dorpat" as a citation.  Many of the cited texts seem to confuse in text citation (author's last name) with a full citation.  Some cleanup is required, ideally by someone who knows what the citations mean.  --TeaDrinker 10:07, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: seems to be referencing the references section. --TeaDrinker 21:57, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well--I think GoDot's the only one who understands that :) --Lukobe 21:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  references 

message: This article is a mix of citation styles, with some named refs, and then inline refs, resulting in repeated references to the same thing, and in other cases, references being listed in both reference sections for the same citation.  Can someone more familiar with reference styling fix this? SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
I removed a bunch of old junk references that didn't point to anything in the article, and transitioned most of the refs over to inline refs. Didn't get it 100%, but it's much better now. --Ajohns90 (talk) 10:52, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Citation style

message: Bruce Lee had his martial arts studio in the U-district.  I'd like to find some references to give a passing mention of this.  Any ideas of where to look?  --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 06:17, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
