Reversion of June 26, 2008

I've just reverted, rather reluctantly, a somewhat extensive series of edits by User:Jonxwood. There were many good parts of the edits, and they appeared to reflect a lot of thought and effort, but the article as revised was not materially better than the original, and the results would need fairly heavy copy and other editing (grammatical issues, non-Wiki-style linking, a bit of POV). Also the edits, being fairly thorough, were hard to compare to the original in terms of substance; finally I decided that reverting seemed the more sensible course. The diff is here for anyone who cares to evaluate this decision. JohnInDC (talk) 12:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Demographic data

I've added actual demographic data, from the US Census, via NeighborhoodInfoDC. Abuelo jack (talk) 17:23, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
Given those data, with reference, it would be nice to have that marker "cites no references" removed. I don't think I should do that myself. Or should I? Abuelo jack (talk) 22:25, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Sure, you can do it if you think what you added addresses the concern set forth in the template! JohnInDC (talk) 22:32, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

OK, I did that. --Abuelo jack (talk) 20:50, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

can someone enlighten me about this "bordering on" business?

This article makes no explicit mention of Mt Pleasant's southern delimitation; but the diagram at its end does: Mt Pleasant, it says, borders on Adams Morgan in the south. And the Adams Morgan article seems to agree - it claims Mt Pleasant as its northern neighbor. But that is where logic ends. Because, this article's Map seems to set MtPleasant's southern border as Harvard St NW - as does Google Maps, for that matter. Adams Morgan, on the other hand, has its northern limit at the line Calvert Rd - Columbia Rd. And again, the Map in the Adams Morgan article and Google seem to agree.

This line doesn't even touch Mt Pleasant, let alone border ist. So what is amiss here? Is there a white space on the map, inhabited by an as-of-yet uncontacted amazonian tribe? Is it the DC outpost of Area 51, occupied by super secret military? Google Locales a whole neighborhood there, with Ontario Rd an Pl, Lannier, most of Adams Mill Rd and a few others.

So what is that? Who is wrong here? 79.232.85.105 (talk) 21:57, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

It's a good question. Google maps says that the region between the two is Lanier Heights, though despite living in the area my whole life that's a new term to me. If pressed to defend these articles, I would argue that a) its de facto correct and b) the spit of land West of Adams Mill Rd but East of Beach Rd that includes Walter Pierce Park is AdMo, all the way up to Harvard St. In fact WP has a Lanier Heights page that says LH is bounded on the west by Adams Mill, so this is plausible. Not very satisfying, I know, because fundamentally you may be right, but in reality I think locals think of the two as abutting with some grey area in between. Eager to hear others' opinions, maybe Jack will chime in? Joehjoeh (talk) 23:56, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

People definitely use the term Lanier Heights. I think some people think of it as part of Adams Morgan and others think of it as its own distinct neighborhood. Binarybits (talk) 03:42, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
