Talk:Eldersburg, Maryland

Merge?

The article at Eldersburg is very poorly formatted and probably could be given a deletion template the way it's currently written, but it does contain some information (mainly about the schools in the area) which could be merged into this article. The remaining bits of Eldersburg could then be removed to make it a redirect here. Any reasons why not? Hersfold ^(talk|work) 23:43, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Old text:

“ One such town of this name is in the United States of America. It is located in Carroll County in the state of Maryland. The town is unaffiliated without a mayor or a town council. There are three elementary schools (Freedom, Carrolltown, and Eldersburg), one middle school (Oklahoma Road), and one high school (Liberty). The most interesting geographical effect of Eldersburg is the man-made Liberty Reservoir. There are three bridges that cross the lake which gives water to Baltimore County. The population is mostly Caucasian with a small group of African Americans, Asians, and Latinos. The town is quite small with nicknames from local teens which include "E-Burg" and "The Strip." The largest and busiest intersection is at 32(Sykseville Road) and 26(Liberty Road). ”

I will try to get to it... — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 19:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Weird

I am trying to buy a house there right now. As I understand it, Eldersburg is a CDP and doesn't "really" exist - it's ZIP code, etc makes it a section of Sykesville, MD (my GPS refuses to acknowledge it too). But how is Eldersburg named after James Sykes? Wouldn't that be Sykesville? — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 19:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I was right, my sister-in-law has this book. It says John Elder. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 01:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Names

From here I see some more history of Sykesville. However, it looks like both James Sykes and George Patterson link to disambig pages, with neither having the proper person (positive on Sykes, not sure on Patterson). We may want to relink them like James Sykes (Maryland). — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 19:39, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
