Talk:West Chester Township, Butler County, Ohio

message: The former VOA station is "Voice of America MetroPark", not "Ronald Reagan Voice of Freedom Park". The latter name was apparently floated at some point, leading Rep. Boehner to praise the name change on the Congressional floor in 2004. But MetroParks' signs all say "Voice of America MetroPark", and the main road is still signed "VOA Park Dr."  – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 23:59, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :West Chester Township, Butler County, Ohio's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "GR2":
From Pisgah, Ohio: 
From Morgan Township, Butler County, Ohio: 
From Hamilton, Ohio: 
From Wetherington, Ohio: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 11:20, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: no consensus. The opposes are premised mainly on WP:CONSISTENT, so it's possible that a wider effort to shorten unambiguous township-related titles would be successfulfeel free to start that discussion at any time.

replies: text: West Chester Township, Butler County, Ohio →  – This is the only West Chester Township, Ohio that exists, so for the sake of its lengthy page name, I am suggesting this move. Bringing to discussion due to prior debates over the name (concerning simply "West Chester, Ohio"). 636Buster (talk) 15:45, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: From its creation in 2003 until November 2019, it seems the article was at West Chester Township, Butler County, Ohio. It looks like someone moved it to the short title in November 2019, then someone else returned it to its original title in August 2021. Neither one was discussed, as far as I can tell. ╠╣uw [talk] 17:12, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

text: *I'll note that WP:PLACE does say that some states may use the additional disambiguation even though it's not needed, per local consensus.  Has this ever been discussed at WP:WikiProject Ohio? 162 etc. (talk) 17:03, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: *Ohio township articles use the long names because one former admin strongly preferred consistency over conciseness, and for many years, would vigorously oppose changes like the one proposed here. - Eureka Lott 14:52, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

text: *:@EurekaLott: Interesting, I was unaware of that backstory. Nevertheless, it seemed intuitive to me that township article titles for Michigan omitted the county name but those for Indiana and Ohio included it. After all, a township in Michigan is just another kind of municipality, but in Indiana and Ohio it's subordinate to a county to an extent that cities and villages generally aren't. But I don't know if that's an adequate justification for the status quo. Minh Nguyễn 💬 03:35, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

text: I digress on the name for this page because I did not see that there was prior discussion on it already. As for my other efforts, I had been acting off of disambiguation from WP:PLACE and I was not aware of minor civil division. Furthermore, on WikiProject Ohio's Township Taskforce, the "TOWNSHIP NAME Township, COUNTY NAME County, Ohio" format has been selected (although my edits to those other pages were almost all reviewed which is why I carried on in the first place). So this is likely a moot discussion. 636Buster (talk) 14:19, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
