Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.

  • Why are we putting every hamlet on the county page? Isn't the town page good enough? Stepp-Wulf 02:05, 21 July 2006 (UTC).
    I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. The list at the bottom of the article is designed to list all cities, villages, towns, and hamlets...as they are all part of Orange County. If you could specify more your objection, maybe that would help. Newnam(talk) 02:14, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

No, The list says "cities and towns." It should probably say "Cities, towns, and villages," and maybe did so in the past until someone edited it. Hamlets can be placed in the town pages, unless they are such significant communities that they merit inclusion in the county list. Stepp-Wulf 02:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC).

I've changed the title of the section to Places which should allow for inclusion of all that is listed. It is my opinion that the hamlets and villages should be mentioned in the list, as there is no reasno here to not be all inclusive. Let me know what you think, Newnam(talk) 04:25, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • If you look at some of the big counties like Nassau and Suffolk, people have tried to do this, and the county articles get to be rather cumbersome (like half the article is list after list of communities). Orange County has lots of places, so, if you want to do this, you have a big task ahead of you, more so, if you try to make an article for each little pudunk place. Another concern is that there are many places across the state with the same name {"Wrights Corners" is really popular). In truth, most "hamlets" don't amount to much, maybe a few houses and a convenience store. Stepp-Wulf 03:21, 23 July 2006 (UTC).
    Ok, I took a look at Hamlet_(place)#New_York and you're right, hamlets shouldn't be in there...however, villages should, as they are there own incorporated place. Thanks for helping to clear it up, Newnam(talk) 06:18, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] William H. Seward

How could OC, New York be the "birthplace of William H. Seward in Florida"????? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DellusMaximus (talk • contribs) 08:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC).

Florida, Orange County, New York. It's about 75 years older than the state. Kafziel Talk 08:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
