Talk:Gales Ferry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Although Gales Ferry, CT is part of Ledyard this article is not about its relationship to Ledyard but rather about the village itself such as it is. Mail to Gales Ferry is addressed as such and therefore without prejudice to the town of Ledyard it seems fair to identify Gales ferry as its own thing at least in the header to the article at least partially about it.

Question though: should this whole entry be split? If the anonymous poster editing the header to read "part of Ledyard, CT" feels stongly that Gales Ferry should be more tightly identified with Ledyard, perhaps it is better to merge the section of the "Gales Ferry" article about the "community of Gales Ferry" into the Ledyard article and leave the section on "The Ferry" alone in the "Gales_Ferry" entry with just a disambiguation line at the top redirecting to an appropriate section within the Ledyard article. This would call for a restructuring in the Ledyard article as well. Without more attention to the relationship if any between the Yale facility and the town it may be worth reconsidering them as separate entities for the purposes of this encyclopedia and perhaps then it would make sense to join the village's section to the Ledyard article if it is not felt that the Village's article can stand alone. I think someone who actually lives in Gales Ferry should decide how the place will be listed.
