[edit] IMG 0106.jpg

I have removed image:IMG 0106.jpg, as the image is very dark, somewhat blurry, and difficult to see much detail. --Aude 18:36, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Even if it were a better exposed, higher resolution image, it adds absolutely nothing to the article in the way of information about what TriBeCa actually looks like. It's such a generic image of a rooftop billboard that it could have been taken in any American city. Postdlf 23:42, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Lots of cities have billboards and water towers on building rooftops? I think the picture looks very New York. And it adds more flavor to the article than the lame image of the Umbrella sculpture in front of the Citigroup building. Redleaf 21:48, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
I mostly agree, the umbrella picture is also useless, but at least it benefits from recognizability. What's your point? If the chicken stew is bland and you don't have any spices, throw in some clay from from the flower pot in the front window? Any flavour is better than no flavour?

What this article needs is a street map delimiting the boundaries of the region in question. Failing that, the article could at least point out the area in square km's of the region under discussion, since I really have no idea. MaxEnt 03:12, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Yep. Let's see this triangle. Ronstew (talk) 02:38, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronounciation

Could someone add pronunciation? I think it's /traɪbikæ/ but I'm not certain. EamonnPKeane (talk) 17:36, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion 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 proposal was Do not move.--Yannismarou (talk) 21:01, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

"Tribeca" already redirects here. Change case per WP:MOSCAPS: "For proper names and trademarks that are given in mixed or non-capitalization by their owners (such as k.d. lang, adidas and others), follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules." Press and common usage also follows this format. The target name format matches that of other neighborhoods listed at Template:Manhattan.

  • Oppose. Tribeca is an abbreviation Triangle Below Canal Street 132.205.44.5 (talk) 02:35, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose. And as such is usage, not advertising. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 05:33, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose TriBeCa is not a commercial property, or even a single property, so your MOS quote is not applicable. 70.51.8.220 (talk) 07:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose per others. TriBeCa is the official name, not Tribeca. Yahel Guhan 06:44, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose As a New Yorker I can verify current capitalization is correct. -- Dougie WII (talk) 22:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:

I don't advocate relying on this but the hated Google Hits test results show a greater use of "Tribeca" over "TriBeCa." — AjaxSmack 20:46, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

[edit] WhAtIsGoiNGON?

No one in the world that can read writes "TriBeCa" and I don't know why this article would use that alternating case style. It's "Tribeca". 216.232.157.126 (talk) 00:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
