I think the list of nieghborhoods in individual cities needs to go. It is kinda pointless in that it does not tell you much more about what neighborhoods are. And as I showed with Seattle, it will just get out of hand eventually...
What is the general consesus on this?

Hi clay, if you stick around, then you can create an account and put this (and more!) about you on a user page, like this one: Toby Bartels 23:15 29 May 2003 (UTC)
PY: Is that really correct, to say "Block watch" with an uppercase "B" but a lowercase "W"? Just checking! -- Toby Bartels 00:30 30 May 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Cut and paste of page
Some idiot went and did a cut and paste of this article without consulting with anyone to have it moved. I have moved it back to its original location (unfortunately I had to do a cut and paste). I went and had a look through both the page histories for "Neighbourhood" and "Neighborhood" and found that the information belongs to the page titled "Neighbourhood" while a redirect belongs to the page titled "Neighborhood".
Please if anyone feels that this page should be moved, bring it up on the talk page first and don't do a cut and paste of the article information without discussing it. Doing a cut and paste of a page destroys its history and talk page discussions. If you feel that the page title is wrong, do it the proper way as per wiki policy for moving a page [1]. -- AxSkov 09:33, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Spelling
I often see the British spellings of words on Wikipedia - "neighbourhood," "colour," "realise," etc. And just curious - is Wikipedia based in the UK? Or are there a lot of British contributors? I hope so. It would just kind of turn my stomach if these are all Americans trying to sound worldly. =)
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English, both American and Commonwealth spellings are allowed on Wikipedia (which is, incidentally, based in the U.S.). In cases like this one, where the term being defined is not specific to any particular English-speaking country, the rule of thumb is to follow the spelling of the first author. In this case, that was the Commonwealth spelling neighbourhood, so I have moved the article back there, and neighborhood is a redirect. Please do not move this page to neighborhood, and please do not ever move any pages by cut-and-paste. Thanks! Angr/talk 22:01, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Neighborhoods before neighbors?
Maybe I have a weird perspictive, but it seems odd that neighborhoods should be defined before neighbors. The neighborhood exists because it's stuff shared between you and your neighbors, who if you don't know are just people who live near you (except for the lexically-defined 'next-door neighbor', which is more of a word than an analyseable phrase). Is there anyone else who agrees with me on that? Aussies and Brits (and whoever else is familiar with our ghastly shows), think of the tv show Neigbours. Felix the Cassowary 09:38, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Neighbor/neighborhood? I thought it was neighbour/neighbourhood for Aussies ;-) Mark 14:38, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
