See also Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Queens_neighborhoods. Good stuff to import.

We now have duplicate names: Chelsea in both Manhattan and Staten Island. Which came first? How about a disambiguation page? Or list them as Chelsea-M and Chelsea-SI. Probably confusing and disliked by both. So I lean toward disamb... Opinions? Alternatives? Tom Lowenhaupt 14:27, 15 July 2010 (EDT)

The neighborhoods might best be listed in alpha by boro. Can we create 5 columns?


 * Hi Tom,


 * You can sign your comments by using ~ . Yes that can be done using Tables. Wwwhatsup 16:34, 26 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Manually sorting the neighborhoods into boroughs is a chore I'll happily procrastinate though. Wwwhatsup 03:18, 27 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I've made 3 columns using CSS. 5 Columns night be a bit wide. Wwwhatsup 03:41, 27 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't see my neighborhood - what do I do? Is a good question. Tom Lowenhaupt 03:43, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I see neighborhoods that don't exist except in the city's mind. For example, South Corona is listed as a neighborhood. This was created with the community boards to justify carving the traditional Corona neighborhood in half. NOBODY lives in North or South Corona. A lot of people live in Corona.

 * I think we can be loose - if people want to create new nabes they can - they can be merged by consensus later on. A process of merging and diverging is natural on any wiki. Wwwhatsup 07:16, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I note that Robert Pollard removed the Upper West Side and added a few other hoods. I recall Gale Brewer saying she lived on the UWS. Can't we have overlapping neighborhoods? Tom Lowenhaupt 21:57, 13 July 2010 (PDT)


 * Hi Tom, the normal way to deal with something like this is either via redirects - which involve just adding #REDIRECT PAGENAME where PAGENAME is the name of the redirect target - or, if there is confusion, making a disambiguation page. Flexibility is the name of the game. Wwwhatsup 03:18, 14 July 2010 (PDT)


 * Tom, until adding the additional neighborhoods today based on info I had mentioned on Tuesday from Community Affairs Unit listing of Community Districts - http://www.nyc.gov/html/cau/html/cb/directory.shtml - that we had discussed on Tuesday I had neither added nor removed any; I had just moved a few neighborhoods into their correct borough. Meanwhile, here is a list of neighborhoods I have just added. Robert Pollard 13:08, 15 July 2010 (EDT)

Duplication

 * Chelsea should be a disambig page with links to Chelsea (Manhattan) and Chelsea (Staten Island). Wwwhatsup 17:48, 15 July 2010 (EDT)

Queens = WIP
While the Queens 'hoods look blue, they're not all done. It's still a work in progress. &#91;seɪ̯bɹ̝bæɾɫ̩taŋk&#93; 15:55, 24 November 2010 (EST)
