Do you guys have wiki entries dedicated to your neighborhoods?

Very definately!

Very definately!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairwater%2C_Cardiff

Nice. I've got a feeling our neighborhoods are in the minority with regard to wiki.

Yes. Apparently mine is an "affluent inner suburb and parish", which is nice to know. Doesn't feel like suburbia to me, but wiki knows best.

"Fairwater Park, known locally as "The Dell" is the site of one of Britain's first artificial ski-slopes, and is still a pleasant recreational area. However, it should be avoided at night."

They certainly got that right!

I've got it only in the dutch version :(

Funnily enough, I doubt most of the people here know what the hell that "Wannamoiset" or whatever thing is. I think it might be a golf course.

I'd put my town there (my neighborhood isn't on there), but I don't want stalkers.

I'm pretty much covered by these three:

Don't call it "wiki". It's incorrect.

There are millions of wikis on the Internet. To use the term to refer to just one is ridiculous.

Erm. Calm down? When people say "wiki" on this board they are, generally, referring to Wikipedia.

I don't care if you think it's ridiculous. Everybody on the internets tubes knows that when you say wiki your talking about that one site on the Wide World Webs.

:rolleyes: grow up.

btw, I have a family wiki, just because I am dorky....and because I wanted to use the new wiki type that I just got access to and so I practiced.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovingdon

That's right. We had a famous murderer.:cool:

Sammy "The Bull" Gravano came to my neighborhood in 1981 to kill another mafioso. The body was found in the trunk of a rental car dumped in Philadelphia.

Yep. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thame

Remind me to add an image of the town hall sometime, to replace the rather useless map they have.

Ahh....but are you mentioned in literature?

Woking also plays a role in literature: it is the town in which the Martians landed in H. G. Wells science fiction novel The War of the Worlds. It also features in Douglas Adams's The Meaning of Liff, as the word for when you go to the kitchen but forget why.

:cool:

True, we're not mentioned by any big literary names to my knowledge. But at least we're mentioned by somebody. Trenton State Prison was also mentioned in an Andrew Vachss private detective novel. I forget which one. Funny how Trenton is only mentioned when a novel deals with crime.

My High School has a pretty good one...

Plains Township. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plains_Township%2C_PA)

An insignificant little speck in North East Pennsylvania, apparently notable only because of a brand new casino owned by Indians. Wilkes-Barre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkes-Barre%2C_Pennsylvania) is only slightly more interesting. Mostly because we have a tendency to flood, and our politicians are assholes.

:eek: Wait, so everybody can just look up online what their neighbours make? o.O

No, no!

The median income for a household in the CDP was $32,054, and the median income for a family was $38,462. Males had a median income of $26,818 versus $21,250 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $15,243. About 7.3% of families and 9.9% of the population were below the poverty line, including 10.3% of those under age 18 and 10.0% of those age 65 or over.

I used to live on the very edge of this neighborhood. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Slope) I don't know what neighborhood I live in now, or if it's just the town/city.

Mine does - but of course as it was once the 4th largest manufacturer of motorvehicles in the world.

Wow, DCD, your neighbourhood sounds like a really...interesting place! I'd say that now it's easier to stalk you...but I think walking into your neighbourhood might get a person shot, so....you're probably safe!

I'm not sure that I should reveal my neighborhood.

I've decided not to, so you wouldn't be alone.

But everyone knows you live in Philly. I live in a much smaller town than Philly. It has its own wiki (i've checked it and even edited it) but I don't feel comfortable revealing it.

Or something like that, I dunno.

Outside of Philly.

If I posted the specific neighbourhood, it would be way too specific.

My neighborhood is small, and doesn't have wiki, but my town does. My town has 4,633 people (actually, more than that now thanks to those idiot Virginians :mad:) but I'm not revealing it.

We all know you live in Gatlinburg, NC. ;)

And that guy walking by your house every 30 minutes DEFINITELY isn't me. :p

I doubt that the area where my family lives could be much more heavily covered. There are wikipedia articles on the local area, the Borough the local area is within, the railway stations, bus routes, primary schools, secondary schools, various streets, the local cemetary (well it is particularly noteworthy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abney_Park_Cemetery), local history, famous residents (William Booth, Daniel Defoe, Edgar Allan Poe and others), and a huge stock of photos of the area.

Coincidentally, i've come across that article before. I thought it sounded cool, except for the whole radioactive waste thing.

Yeah, every once in while there are things that make you kinda wonder for a second. Like my street has one one of those signs that says "Warning: This area may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer" or when you find out that you can't dig up your backyard and if you want to plant something they'll give you a planter and soil, just for god's sake, don't dig!

But other than that, it's pretty cool. Peaceful, bigass cities on both sides of the bridge, good views, lots of ocean, might liquefy in a really strong earthquake...

The real question is, does your neighborhood have an urban dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=park+slope)? Although, again, I was too never really part of that neighborhood. More this. (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gowanus) Sorta. Except I didn't live in the water, just near it. I hope.

As for my actual current location, I'm in denial.
Meh, but do you have Coal Speak (http://www.coalregion.com/Speak/speakA.htm)?!
mine does (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Roxborough), its completely wrong , but nevertheless it still has one :rolleyes:

Roxborough? Every time I see a sign for there I always have the same reaction: What an awesome name!

Big deal, so is mine

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathmines

Depends. Did I? :p
yes.
Ruffy did. :(

I grew up in a small town named Roxboro, in Quebec. It doesn't exist anymore, I hear - it was amalgamated out of existence - but I'll always remember how it smelled really, really nice in the springtime.

*edit: sorry, seeing 'roxborough' took me back...

You didn't find me, did you?

I know which county it is. :p

I'm serious

Huzzah! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marchmont)

This really is quite shocking, learning that the things I walk by everyday have their photos on wikipedia...

You people are too stupid to realize there are more people in Western Pennsylvania than that.

Eastern PA is where all cool people are :cool:

Meh, but do you have Coal Speak (http://www.coalregion.com/Speak/speakA.htm)?!

Our sister city is Runnymede, England. The reason might be that one of the main creeks that runs through town has always been called Runnymede.

Hell, even my high school hs it's wiki:

And just in case anyone actually reads it, the story about the pigs being put on the wall in definatly true, I've lived next to the pub all my life and I've seen photo evidence. It used to be a pig farm before it was a pub.

Oh, Eric Stewarts grandmother was my next door neighbour too. She once gave me a very nice pen for my birthday but I lost it.

Yup! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B6dert%C3%A4lje

That is impressive, granted that elizabeth bay itself comprises no more than 3 or 4 blocks and the same number of streets (curvy).

This is the suburb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collingwood%2C_Victoria) where I used to live.

I'm not sure what is meant by the term "neighborhood" but the town I live in is on the Wikipedia, although the english page for it is rather pathetic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Ponts-de-C%C3%A9

By pure chance, my neighborhood actually has an English Wiki article... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steglitz)
The first picture is what I usually see when I'm waiting for the M85 bus.

Because I love the scenery and because I had no choice :D

I suppose one could say the same about me living in Ohio, only while I had no choice, the scenery sucks. :p
