[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the debate was Move. Duja 09:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Calton Hill, Edinburgh → Calton Hill — This one is a lot more notable than the SSSI in Derbyshire: Calton Hill, Derbyshire. eg. looking at number of incoming links for both articles, plus all the current links to the dab page are actually referring to the Edinburgh one, which is usually an indication of an inappropriate dab page. (I have put a link to the discussion on the Talk pages of both the Derbyshire article and what is currently the dab page, to allow editors to participate.) Mais oui! 08:58, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

- Support seems reasonable to me give the relative fame of the two. Morwen - Talk 16:35, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion
Add any additional comments:
Serge says "Move the current disambiguation page at Calton Hill to Calton Hill (disambiguation) and leave a note/link at the top of this article to Calton Hill (disambiguation)." I really do not think that that is necessary: when we have only one other article to dab, the standard practice is just to put a dab header at the top of the article saying, something like: The article on the SSSI is at Calton Hill, Derbyshire. Unless of course there are several other famous Calton Hill's throughout the planet! --Mais oui! 19:43, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Connection
The American Consulate is nearby, and the hill is also a noted gay cruising area
Is the proximity of the American Consulate in anyway connected to the gay cruising area. Where do the gay peoples' boats cruise?

Well, after 9/11, it is quite impossible to get onto Calton hill, apart from on foot, from the south side because of our 'cousins' diplomatic mission; and whilst walking my dog I did espy a consular official loitering on the path from the summit to Royal terrace. F'narr aside Calton hill has, in the last ten years , been made almost into a 'no-go'area for police, residents and for joe public carrying out their legitimate business, especially after dark. The evidence lines the aforesaid path, discarded sheaths as common as any other litter. RE:Boats, Royal Terrace was known as 'Whisky row'. Some of the more affluent of Edinburgh's merchants took houses on Calton hill, so they might be able to see their trading ships come back to port in Leith.Brendandh 18:18, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Etymology
Does anyone know a decent source for the etymology of Edinburgh placenames, or this one in particular? --Mais oui! 19:46, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
