Talk:Gloucester County, Virginia

Photo of Mann Page

Is that an accurate Photo? Does not look right. Also why are "2.1 Guinea" and "2.2 Daffodils" Subitems of Item 2 "Notable residents"?

Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?

Merge suggestion

From the help desk (May 13):

Hi, I just suggested a merge between a hardly visited pages and it's counterpart. It is obvious that Gloucester Courthouse, Virginia should be moved to Gloucester County, Virginia, because they are talking about the same place. I feel that next to no-one will view it, so could some of you review it? Thanks. --Kkrouni 19:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I would advise against a merge. Gloucester Courthouse, Virginia is about a city (pop. 2,000+) in Gloucester County, Virginia (pop. 30,000+), not the same thing. While the city article could use a human touch and some non-demographics content (almost all editors have been bots) it is still significantly different than the county.

To both of you, gentlemen: See WP:MM for the details of merging process. Note that discussion must be held at article's talkpage (not here). Wide participation is not necessary for the decision: the current policy edition allows "10 days of silence" as a reason for merging. Oh, and thank you for discussing possibly controversial issue preliminary. Ukrained 19:25, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Additional discussion:

• I would also not recommend a merge. There is precedent to keep verifiable articles on geographical locations no matter how small and the idea they're on the same subject is an erronous one. One is about a town/city, the other is a county. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Agree with discussion against a merge - the two jurisdictions are different.

Edit for tone

Much of the article sounds as if it was taken from marketing material, and needs to be edited to be encyclopedic in tone. Parkwells (talk) 16:25, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
