Talk:Uptown, Minneapolis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- "Southwest Minneapolis" refers to a specific part of Minneapolis, more so than "southwestern Minneapolis." Not that it's a big deal, so I'm not going to change it back. Mikepjones 16:31, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I get what you're saying, but there isn't any reason for "Southwest" to be capitalized in that term. There is no neighborhood designation known as Southwest Minneapolis; it's not even thought of as a hugely distinct area, like South Minneapolis (or, maybe even better yet, North Minneapolis), which arguably should or could be capitalized (though I wouldn't personally). By "Southwest Minneapolis," you're really saying the southwest quadrant of Minneapolis, or the southwestern part of the city. Since "southwestern" is the adjective form of "southwest," I think it's most correct. I'd be open to any comments. Moncrief 01:20, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)

- I disagree. Southwest is a very particular designation for a large part of the city. It's not a quadrant. It's a collection of neighborhoods. It's referred to all the time, with caps. For example, here's one of my favorite papers, the Southwest Journal. dfrankow 00:38, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

- It isn't referred to often in all caps. That is the title of a community newspaper, so by definition it is in caps (it's a title). Rarely in thoughtful literature is "Southwest" capped when referring to that area of the city. Moncrief 03:33, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

- Southwest is an official community of Minneapolis, which contains several neighborhoods, so it is proper to capitalize it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mpls.png --RLent 19:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Anyone from Uptown? I used to live there and try to make it back whenever I can. I was thinking that maybe we could take some pics of the area to post on the article. THX-1138
This article really needs help.. like some pictures of the area and actual links to the websites for some of the local businesses. I added several today. I don't have a user ID here yet, though. 12/18/2005.
Geographic Boundaries. I have lived in Minneapolis both in and near Uptown for 15 years. I don't think that anybody who actually lives in Minneapolis refers to the geographic boundaries of Uptown as broadly as they are described in this article. (at least to the north and east) The area mentioned covers many other well established neighborhoods like The Wedge, Lyn-Lake, and Kenwood. People who refer to Uptown this broadly are not from the area usually. I am going to edit that part of the description.
[edit] Business listings
Why are there so many businesses listed in this article? Rx StrangeLove 19:14, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Unless someone strongly objects I'm going to take most of them out, they don't serve any purpose and we're not a directory...Rx StrangeLove 19:25, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
