Talk:Neighbourhood

message: I think the list of nieghborhoods in individual cities needs to go.  It is kinda pointless in that it does not tell you much more about what neighborhoods are.  And as I showed with Seattle, it will just get out of hand eventually...
What is the general consesus on this?

thread_title: List in individual cities

message: Some idiot went and did a cut and paste of this article without consulting with anyone to have it moved. I have moved it back to its original location (unfortunately I had to do a cut and paste). I went and had a look through both the page histories for "Neighbourhood" and "Neighborhood" and found that the information belongs to the page titled "Neighbourhood" while a redirect belongs to the page titled "Neighborhood".
Please if anyone feels that this page should be moved, bring it up on the talk page first and don't do a cut and paste of the article information without discussing it. Doing a cut and paste of a page destroys its history and talk page discussions.  If you feel that the page title is wrong, do it the proper way as per wiki policy for moving a page . -- AxSkov 09:33, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cut and paste of page

I often see the British spellings of words on Wikipedia - "neighbourhood," "colour," "realise," etc.  And just curious - is Wikipedia based in the UK?  Or are there a lot of British contributors?  I hope so.  It would just kind of turn my stomach if these are all Americans trying to sound worldly.  =)
:Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English, both American and Commonwealth spellings are allowed on Wikipedia (which is, incidentally, based in the U.S.). In cases like this one, where the term being defined is not specific to any particular English-speaking country, the rule of thumb is to follow the spelling of the first author. In this case, that was the Commonwealth spelling neighbourhood, so I have moved the article back there, and neighborhood is a redirect. Please do not move this page to neighborhood, and please do not ever move any pages by cut-and-paste. Thanks! Angr/talk 22:01, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd like to suggest that this page be moved back to the American spelling due to the apparent lack of any British context in this article. This seems like a reasonable request, which I will carry out unless there is a response here soon. └Jared┘┌t┐  20:46, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Per WP:ENGVAR, this should not be moved away from a stable title to change to a different regional spelling. The topic is not one which only applies to North America, even if there isn't any specific information in the article related to places that use Commonwealth English. This is both the established and the original title. Dekimasuよ! 03:28, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see you've filed a WP:RM request, but you claim there that "neighborhoods are predominantly an American entity". Do you mean that as "recognized municipal division"? I'm not aware of widespread official recognition of "neighborhoods", but I could be wrong. In a general sense, of course, there are neighborhoods everywhere. Dekimasuよ! 03:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In short, I believe that when one thinks of a neighborhood, one thinks of the quintessential nest of American homes that has become connotative of the term. Thus, I must stick by my opinion, even if the word appears in multiple dialects. └Jared┘┌t┐  05:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe.  If "one" is American.  Nests of African homes are just as quintessential, you know. -GTBacchus(talk) 22:05, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

text: If nothing else, neighbourhoods are as much part of Canadian life as neighborhoods are of American life, which would be enough to refute your claims even if the concept were peculiar to North America, which it isn't. --Stemonitis 07:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spelling 

message: Maybe I have a weird perspictive, but it seems odd that neighborhoods should be defined before neighbors. The neighborhood exists because it's stuff shared between you and your neighbors, who if you don't know are just people who live near you (except for the lexically-defined 'next-door neighbor', which is more of a word than an analyseable phrase). Is there anyone else who agrees with me on that? Aussies and Brits (and whoever else is familiar with our ghastly shows), think of the tv show Neigbours. Felix the Cassowary 09:38, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Neighborhoods before neighbors? 

message: The sociology section should be beefed up considerably (with references), and the "neighborhoods by region" section taken out (or perhaps made into a list with links). Michael E. Smith (talk) 01:28, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a more appropriate photo?  The current one better exemplifies a beach resort or city more than a "neighborhood"; not to mention, Copacabana is technically a borough.   Mbinebri  talk ← 01:53, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
