Talk:City Island, Bronx

message: I'm concerned that this page is becomming a random collection of trivia rather than a real description.
Roy,
I can prove there are such giant Rats with pictures!
I also have witnesses!

thread_title:  Too much trivia 

message: I've been doing a lot of cleanup on this article lately, but it's mostly copyediting, I haven't been doing anything about verifying facts for the most part.  If anybody wants to start tracking down citations for things, that would be a great help!  --RoySmith 22:55, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: This page has keeps getting renamed and one person after another comes along and decides they have a better idea of what it should be called.  Rummaging through the logs, I came up with:
 16 May 2006 69.121.69.166 (ur) (last)  15:59, 15 May 2006 69.121.66.87 ((cur) (last)  05:01, 12 May 2006 PZFUN m (moved City Island\(Bronx, NY) to City Island, New York: Maintaining standard for naming.)
 16 October 2005 Pacific Coast Highway m (City Island (New York) moved to City Island, Bronx, New York)
 16 October 2005 Pacific Coast Highway (Larry V m (moved City Island, Bronx, New York to City Island (Bronx, NY))
 5 January 2005 . . Rmhermen (City Island, New York moved to City Island (New York))
 21 November 2004 . . Decumanus (City Island, New York moved to City Island (New York))
and I suspect I missed a few.  I know there were a few "cut and paste" type renames that aren't reflected in the logs.
All this has left behind a mess of redirects, double-redirects (and probably worse), and a lot of time wasted by everybody involved cleaning up (or leaving broken) all sorts of links.  When I looked at this page this morning, I found that the City Island, New York's discussion tab pointed via a redirect to (IIRC) Talk:City Island (Bronx, NY).  Talk about confusing!
Anyway, I've protected both the article and the talk page against further renames, to avoid this sillyness in the future.  If anybody thinks I've acted in error by applying the protection, go ahead and unprotect, but I think that will just be asking for more messes and wasted effort.

replies: text: Since I actually live in the Bronx I understand and share Decumanus's sentiments. But I think the article and Talk should be renamed 'City Island (Bronx, NY)' and have done with, as it is more accurate and less confusing. -- Aninnymouse 11:43, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the article itself, it seems as if it concentrates more on City Island as a community and neighborhood than as a geologic feature. I feel that since it is about the neighborhood, it should take the name "City Island, Bronx", following the almost ubiquitous practice of naming NYC community articles in the form of "Neighborhood, Borough". Also, it is not as if the page is being constantly renamed, day after day. The move operations are taking place months apart. — Larry V (talk) 17:31, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Protected from further renames 

message: City Island, New York → City Island, Bronx – The article is mainly about City Island as a neighborhood, not City Island as a geological feature. Thus, the article should follow the general format for NYC neighborhoods, which is <Neighborhood>, <Borough>. — Larry V (talk) 04:54, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

message: How do Long Island sound currents affect waters around City Island?  Where do currents meet?  Does the East River current meet on the western shore of City Island and drop its stream load?

thread_title:  Long Island Sound currents 

message: The following line, At one time attached to the town of Pelham, Westchester County, it is now part of the New York City borough of the Bronx., while perfectly correct, introduces potential ambiguity and confusion to the article. Why? Because the word "attached", by which the good editor means, "included within the municipal boundaries" can also be taken as literally physically attached. This is not a silly idea, as it is commonplace within urban areas for natural islands to be converted into penninsulas (by filling in with rock and soil) as well as for peninsulas to be cut by canals and thus turned into islands. And in both such cases, there is no clear pattern regarding the naming of such geographic features; sometimes they're updated, sometimes they're not. I'm going to try to find a better way. 98.82.3.150 (talk) 14:46, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Under City_Island,_Bronx#Boating, we list the four yacht clubs on the island, and have a link to one of them.  It seems to me we should either have links to all of them, or none of them.  As a member of one of the clubs, I have a WP:COI so I'm requesting that some neutral party look at this, decide which is the right course of action, and implement it.  Thanks.  -- RoySmith (talk) 01:05, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Links in the body of an article should just link to other Wikipedia articles. External links should only be provided in references or a dedicated external links section. I have removed the one in this article with this edit as is standard practise. AIRcorn (talk) 04:46, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

message: One of the final scenes in "Riding in Cars with Boys" (2001) is shot on City Island.  It's at a house trailer in a boat yard north of the bridge.  Its one of the last scenes. It involves getting a signature on some papers. (I have not seen that movie since 2001. I cannot recall much of the scene except that I clearly recognized the location as being on City Island.)   The Internet Movie Database at IMDB.org confirms City Island as a location for this film, so this is not "original research".JohnRRuth (talk) 02:43, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
