Merge
editI think it's a good idea. Candleabracadabra (talk) 00:36, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- This was a merger proposal to merge Dundee Community Garden to Community gardens in Nebraska. It is moot, as the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dundee Community Garden closed with Merge decision. --doncram 13:02, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Omaha vs. Nebraska
editIt is a mistake to subsume the list of Omaha gardens into a list of Nebraska gardens. Omaha, as a metropolitan area, is substantially different from the rest of the state. All of the gardens in the city together form a community, which is unlike the rest of the state.
Lead
editThe lead needs to include a summary of the rest of the article, so I'll add a few words to create that summary. --RexxS (talk) 11:23, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
I've reverted the recent revision and restored the sentence In Nebraska most of the community gardens are to be found in or near the principal cities of Omaha and Lincoln.[1]
to the opening paragraph. The previous revision created a second paragraph containing a single sentence which is poor construction style. Two paragraphs are unnecessary for an article so short per MOS:LEAD, which emphasises the need to be concise. In addition, repetition of the phrase "there are numerous community gardens" from the first sentence is clumsy writing style. The revision did not improve the lead, so I have reverted it and begun discussion here per WP:BRD. --RexxS (talk) 12:20, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, RexxS. Your version is much better, for the reasons you give. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:44, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
Showing the region
editThe reference to a Google map search is intended to illustrate the region, rather than to support the assertion that "most of the community gardens are to be found in or near the principal cities" - that is clearly apparent from the rest of the text and is an appropriate part of a summary of the article. I would prefer a map to show 'far-away' readers where we are talking about, but none is available that I'm aware of. It's possible that the Google search would fit its purpose better as an External link, but it would then be buried at the end of the article, rather than having the immediacy of a link from the opening paragraph, which is mean to set the scene. Perhaps an appropriate infobox that generates a map for the article would be a better solution. Any suggestions? --RexxS (talk) 12:20, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
