Talk:Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky

message: This purported legend as to the origin of the name would appear to be very hard to verify.  This may be another example of whether the question is "How verifiable is it that this is a widely-repeated legend?"  more than "Can it be verified whether this legend is based in fact?"

thread_title:  Origin 

message: There is no official source given for the grammatically incorrect form here and the only source on the page uses the apostrophe. Could a mod kindly move this over the redirect? — LlywelynII 11:49, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: OPPOSE. Actually, thats not quite correct. The road signs nearby and at the location as well as maps do NOT list an apostrophe. Grammar is swell, but to change it to a name that fits grammar rules, and does not reflect reality, seems to be tad over the edge.Coal town guy (talk) 12:48, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

text: The U.S. government has had a policy for some time of being hostile to apostrophes. They have removed them from the names they use as identifiers for many places – e.g., Pikes Peak and Harpers Ferry. The government is who prints the road signs and many of the maps, and they select names partly by following certain policy guidelines, not just as a matter of trying to use whatever is the most common form in general usage (nor as a matter of trying to follow grammatical correctness based on the origin of terms). For this place, the removal does result in something that seems incorrect, and I doubt that non-government sources prefer the non-apostrophe usage. See, e.g., http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887324244304578471252974458308, http://www.thewire.com/national/2013/05/apostrophe-battle/65294/, http://www.slate.com/articles/life/the_good_word/2013/05/apostrophes_and_when_to_use_them_punctuation_necessary_at_all_not_really.html, etc. Wikipedia is presumably not required to follow the governmental guidance on that question. —BarrelProof (talk) 12:06, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Mt. Sterling, Kentucky →  – This is an odd case. A note in the article's lede claims "Mt. Sterling" is the "official name", but the reference on the statement unhelpfully has the city listed under "Mount Sterling" with the note, "Actual name of city is Mt. Sterling." The USGS GNIS has "Mount", and it's also somewhat more common in Google results.

Talk:Prestonsburg, Kentucky

message: Still to be cited potential edits to the Prestonsburg Page. 
Bold textEconomy and Industry
Prestonsburg and its surrounding townships chief economic industry was the mining of coal. Several coal companies including Coal Creek Mining, Matt/Co Inc, Onyx Coal, NFC Mining, Blackhawk Mining, Elk Horn Coal Corp, Rhino Prestonsburg, Mrm Inc, and International Coal based there business within the city. Coal Mining as an industry in Prestonsburg began in 1908. The Prestonsburg Coal Company began operations mining Town Branch. Colonial Coal and Coke Company also operated inside Prestonsburg, mining both sides of the river. A camp was established by Colonial Coal with only 13 families moving into it. Colonial folded in the great depression leaving behind Prestonsburg's long forgotten ghost town.  
Access to Prestonsburg continues to grow. Two major thoroughfares link the city to other local towns and major cities a like. US 23, a major four lane highway, and KY 80 a four lane connecting Hazard to Prestonsburg opened the city for potential expansion. The current widening of the Mountain Parkway into a four lane connector to Lexington and beyond further opens the area's potential for tourist and potential industry. 
Prestonsburg was established as the county seat of Floyd County, which originally included what is now Johnson, Martin, Pike, Knott, Magoffin and Morgan Counties, and parts of Elliot, Lawrence, Wolfe, Breathitt, Perry, and Letcher Counties. This made Prestonsburg a hub for political conversation and for economic development. 
 
Other major employers with operations in the city include the Floyd County Board of Education and Wal Mart. 
Prestonsburg became a tourist town when the Jenny Wiley State Resort Park and Dewey was created in 1954, offering locals and visitor recreational retreats. Prestonsburg's efforts to bring tourist into the area created the contruction and completion of an 18 hole golf course high atop Maggie Mountain. Stone Crest is built upon a former strip mining location. 
Billy Jean Osborn, a local teacher, now deceased championed the local talent found in the area and was largely responsible for the building of the Mountain Arts Center in Prestonsburg and the forming of its featured performers the Kentucky Opry.  
Prestonsburg's City Crest dons the West Prestonsburg Arch Bridge. This bridge was one of three that was commissioned in 1929. The arch bridge once had a twin just up south of its location. The Arched twin spanned the Big Sandy from Prestonsburg to Town Branch. Bryanatoms 15:20, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm guessing the initial mundane statistical sounding language is from its creation as a stub and can be eliminated or moved.  I would prefer calling it a town as the Boone County Planning Commission does rather than that mouth full starting the first sentence.

message: If it is removed, someone kindly restore the hatnote dabbing this Russell from the very similar Russell County (also called "Russell"); Russellville (which might otherwise be thought by nonnatives to be another name for the same place); and Russell Springs.
If Mr. Apple really dislikes the page beginning with a mention of other communities, a compromise could be to link to them in the see-also section; but (as the link he provided clearly shows) the Wiki-wide policy is to lead with the dabs. Russell County certainly needs to be there, & my thought is that we should include the other cities when we do. — LlywelynII 04:36, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

"Woodland Hills Condo's is part of southgate and is part of a Homeowner association and have no shortage of rules and regulations dictating properly how homeowners are to conduct themselves and use their property. Ted has been at Woodland Hills almost 6 years and has been in the maintenance field for over 16 years and also serves as Honorary Junior Deputy, this includes enforcing the arbitrary de facto regulations. Some examples you could find your self getting a fake (Junior deputy) ticket include; parking on a one side of the parking lot, having expired tags on your vehicle, backing in instead of pulling into a parking space, using a separate parking spot every few days and free speech, to name a few. Residents usually know a ticket is coming due to the roaring loud utility vehicle aka the bull dog, used by maintenance to drive up and down the road. There are no other sport utility vehicles to confuse this sleep killer with; since they are banned and not allowed on the premises."

message: An IP editor has recently (twice now) added some commentary to the lede of this article regarding a feeder school to this one and something about a district within a district. Perhaps I am dense, but it makes no sense. At all. Possibly you might consider finding a clearer way of expressing what you are trying to say? In any case, discussion of feeder schools does not belong in the lede. The lede is supposed to be a summary of the most important parts of the article, just like the lede in a newspaper article.  Feeder schools are allowed content in the body of the article, but including them is optional and they do not belong in the lede at all.

Talk:Phobia (Breaking Benjamin album)

message: Fans of Breaking Benjamin may not like Robert Christgau's rating of Phobia, but it's senseless to keep removing it. Christgau is an acceptable reviewer according to the WP projects that oversee album articles and his ratings are referenced all over WP. That doesn't mean his rating/review is right, it just means he is a professional reviewer. Readers are supposed to see a balanced, NPOV view of the album, and that includes ratings by critics who don't like it. We assume the reader will understand that critics have their own biases and those biases may not align with those of the reader or fans of the band. Not showing the Christgau rating makes the article unbalanced. — John Cardinal (talk) 22:58, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I removed some crap about the pronunciation due to "United States dislike of France". What crap! Anyway, American towns with French names always take a phonetic pronunciation; it's just the way things were done when towns were founded in the 18th and 19th centuries.
