Capital Hill, SaipanCapitol Hill, Northern Mariana Islands – The Original Was Spelled Incorrectly And Didn't Specify The Territory.   Relisted Armbrust The Homunculus 03:10, 2 January 2014 (UTC) Sparkyb10123 (talk) 03:11, 26 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose both the spelling and the location change without more evidence but am open to such. According to both of the links from the article (USGS and the CNMI govt), the spelling is "Capital". Although many other sources (including primary ones such as this) these should be weighed carefully before a move. As far as the disambiguator goes, Capita/ol Hill is a settlement within the municipality of Saipan and not a subdivision of the CNMI. See Capitol Hill (disambiguation)/Capital Hill for similar cases. —  AjaxSmack  03:06, 30 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

for It is Capitol, Hill. The spelling in the original is wrong. -sparkyb10123

How is it wrong since the Governors office and the USGS, say the place and address is Capital Hill? Alanscottwalker (talk) 23:12, 11 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Your evidence? - sparkyb10123

Uh, the article's sources. But if you need me to also transfer them here: www.gov.mp and [1] Alanscottwalker (talk) 23:21, 11 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

also check this out! [2] - sparkyb10123

That suggests there is something called Capitol Hill House, which would not preclude it being in or on Capital Hill. Alanscottwalker (talk) 23:24, 11 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Article name redux

edit

The issue of whether the article should be called "Capital Hill" or "Capitol Hill" should still be discussed by a wider group of editors. Although sources in the article use "Capital", most usage on the ground is "Capitol". See photos at commons:Category:Capitol Hill, Saipan for examples. —  AjaxSmack  22:40, 11 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Why is it difficult to imagine a store owner on Capital Hill calling his market Capitol Hill - businesses play with names often, don't they? Alanscottwalker (talk) 23:17, 11 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
I'd guess he's referring to images like this one, which presumably show the work of the local government. Parsecboy (talk) 23:27, 11 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
OK but it is still a primary source and does not preclude there being things called Capitol Hill in/on or near Capital Hill. Alanscottwalker (talk) 23:45, 11 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

For those citing GNIS, consider this. I'd be inclined to treat the capit'a'l use as bureacratic carelessness. For that matter, there is also this. olderwiser 00:28, 12 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

According to [3] they are two different hills. Alanscottwalker (talk) 00:41, 12 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Possible but highly unlikely. More likely it is just two information sources overlaid on the viewer. This USGS print map uses "Capitol". AjaxSmack  02:17, 12 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • Support Capitol Hill, Saipan - Capit'a'l Hill seems to be bureaucratic carelessness based on the variety of sources presented above, and Saipan rather than NMI seems to be the better dab per Ajax's comment above. Parsecboy (talk) 15:23, 12 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
