Talk:Meatpacking District, Manhattan

message: There's a photo in this article which shows a cash register illuminated by a lamp, behind a bar, with some peripheral objects including a headless figure in soiled jeans atop the bar.  The headless figure could be a mannequin for all we know.  Of what possible value is such a photo to an article on Meatpacking District, Manhattan?--72.76.97.191 (talk) 00:41, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: No biggie.  There's a lots of innuendo and invective above, little actual discussion of content, which is what this page is supposed to be for.  Let's talk content: why is a picture of a cash register in this article?--72.76.97.191 (talk) 01:04, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The lead of this article is very weird. It's not even there in the respect that it doesn't make up a propper sentence since the independent clause has no predicate. The article could also use some basic info about the size of the area.Ramblersen (talk) 19:25, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed back to what it was in February, when someone apparently used the article as a sandbox. There may be fixes needed in the rest of the article, if anyone cares to check. Slugabed (talk) 05:10, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: The lead isn't there

message: The article is not clear about what exactly became of the numerous slaughterhouses. Did they actually relocate? I don't imagine that 200 slaughterhouses would all close down since there was such a demand for meat back then. Perhaps this could be added to the article?

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 :Meatpacking District, Manhattan'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 "citydata":

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⚡ 15:41, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Meatpacking District, Manhattan]] 

message: I removed "By 2003, out of 250 20th-century slaughterhouses and packing plants in the area, only 35 remained." from the start of the Preservation section because its meaning was ambiguous, and the citied source didn't provide any clarification. If someone wants to re-add it, please clarify whether it is referring to slaughterhouse businesses or the buildings which had historically housed slaughterhouses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MartyJMcFlyJr (talk • contribs) 23:02, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed unclear sentence from Preservation 

message: "By 1900 the area was home to 250 slaughterhouses": 
Where did all those animals slaughtered there come from? Was there still so much cattle(/ pig/ poultry) farming in the direct neighbourhood? Or were big amounts of live animals transported there from farer away places (from where/ how far?) – if so, by which means (live animals on ships on the Hudson? or by train? – Were they then driven on foot, in herds, through the streets from the dock/ freight train station to the slaughterhouses? Or transported, alive, on ox/ horse drawn carriages or motor trucks?)
 
I realise not all of this might belong in the district article, but part of it does and part should/ might be described elsewhere and this should be connected with a link to here... 
 
Can any of this information already be found on WP? --> Where? 2A02:3036:F:EBDB:1:1:FD7B:AC36 (talk) 10:23, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
