Talk:New York, New York (disambiguation)

message: *This is curious, as "New York, New York" I thought would first refer to the "City, State" like "Los Angeles, California", as is the case with most addresses. Play it safe and just write "New York, New York, New York" -Matthew238 (talk • contribs) 01:01, 2 November 2005
**OK, yeah, it is curious, but that's all it is.  This usage appears only in mailing addresses, and in any other context whatsoever "New York, New York" means the city. --Russ (talk) 21:34, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Survey

message: FWIW, re the preceding Move debate, few people outside the U.S. would refer to NYC as "New York, New York", unless as a deliberate nod to the song.  The "city, state" convention it springs from is hardly recognised.  Most people would assume the song and movie title was just reduplication akin to, say, Monday, Monday or Louie Louie .  Not that I oppose the current nomenclature or want another vote or anything, just thought someone might like to know. jnestorius(talk) 07:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: New York, New York specifically identifies the Borough of Manhattan. "New York City" refers to all five boroughs of the City of New York. Please stop arbitrarily reverting my LEGITIMATE edits! This means you, JamesMLane! 24.168.116.169 (talk) 15:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  New York City 

message: 11-July-09: I have added subheaders above as "Topics from 2004" (etc.) to emphasize the dates of topics in the talk-page. Older topics might still apply, but using the year headers helps to focus on more current issues as well. Afterward, I dated the unsigned comments and retro-named 3 entries (including "As a mailing address" & "Debate about requesting move in 2006") in date order from 2004. -Wikid77 (talk) 17:19, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Retrofit talk-page year headers

message: 11-July-2009: To clarify the wording, I have quoted the phrase (as the term "New York, New York"). Although quoting the title term is rare in disambiguation pages, the demarkation using the quotemarks will help to clearly indicate the phrase, rather than seem a text repeat of "New York". Also, quoting on the 1st line prevents the typesetting river of 2 consecutive lines each beginning with the repetition of "New York" (as a block of 4 repetitions). -Wikid77 (talk) 17:19, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Quoted as term

message: Any problems on how the link on this page to the city article should be?? If you really think it's important for it to link to New York, New York as opposed to New York City, please put an HTML comment revealing the reason. Georgia guy (talk) 01:20, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Links 

message: We generally don't pipe links in dis-ambiguation pages except to indicate links to songs or the like where we need to italicize or give quotation marks to the text the link forms but not the link itself. The first link in this dis-ambiguation page goes to New York City, and we want it clear from the text that that's where it should go. But User:DigbyDalton disagrees; they think that this link should be piped. Any thoughts anyone has here?? Georgia guy (talk) 15:36, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct that we generally don't pipe links on dab pages, and DigbyDalton also has a point that the redirect says "New York", not "New York City". However, the whole issue is avoided by linking the redirect itself in the first sentence, as recommended at MOS:DABPRIMARY: "When the ambiguous term has a primary topic but that article has a different title (so that the term is the title of a redirect), the primary topic line normally uses the redirect to link to that article". I'm going to be bold and do that, but anyone who disagrees, feel free to revert. Station1 (talk) 01:59, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I can go along with that. Looks good now. Thanks DigbyDalton (talk) 15:54, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
