Talk:List of Philadelphia placename etymologies

Boothy's commentary

I am wondering if these references would not be better in the artciles and not on a list. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 07:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• Many of the streets aren't included in individual articles. Who knows, but there are similar pages for other cities. --evrik 15:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't have an opinion about that, but at the moment almost nothing links here, which makes it nearly useless.  — JVinocur (talk • contribs) 00:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Cites needed

Another editor disagreed with the {{refimprove}}, saying the article was fine the way it was. I disagree. Awhile back, I found the Kelly Drive article attributing the name to the wrong Kelly. I've also cleaned up various conflicting claims for a number of others. I've tagged the ones I'd like cites for. While it would be nice to have cites for all of them, some are pretty much undisputable (e.g., Ben Franklin Bridge). Others might seem obvious (e.g., Washington Square) but could easily refer to someone else (George Washington is the obvious choice, but the name isn't rare and it could be named after something else that was named after Georgie). - Mdsummermsw (talk) 19:29, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
