I think the name of this article should really be "Execution Rocks Lighthouse", not "Execution Lighthouse". Does anybody have any objections to my moving it? --

Hi,
I started this article on this place and all of my life we have called it Execution Lighthouse.
If it's real name is Execution Rocks Lighthouse then that is OK also.
Everyone here in CI will tell you they think it is Execution Lighthouse.
I am trying to find out the name of the tiny Lighthouse just south of Hart Island.

I've always known it as Execution Rocks. I just did a Google search for "Execution Lighthouse" and found 67 hits; "Execution Rocks Lighthouse" got 190. The USCG Light List (about as definitive a source as you can get) calls it "Execution Rocks Light". I'll add something about possible other names to the article. If by "the tiny lighthouse" you mean the steel tower, the light list calls it "Hart Island Light 46" -- RoySmith 17:28, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
OK Then what is the real name of Stepping Stones Lighthouse? Stepping Stones Reef Lighthouse? Stepping Stones Rocks Lighthouse? Stepping Stones Shoal Lighthouse?
SD
This is a bit off-topic for the Execution Rocks article, but to the best of my knowledge, it's just "Stepping Stones". The USCG light list calls it "STEPPING STONES LIGHT". --

The lighthouse is indeed situated in the middle of the most western portion of Long Island Sound . . which is certainly a valid (and most helpful) way to detail its geographical location. The technical location is just as relevant and important in regards to the accuracy of the article. Citing info. sources shouldnt be disregarded if provided (ie.contrib of prior user -This Fine Piece of Water: An Environmental History of Long Island Sound, By Tom Andersen, page.21). There is no real reason for debate aside from individual 'stylistic' differences in wording or the prominance of one location over the other . It seems inserting the city in the infobox is sufficient enough. No need to detail it in the body of the article. (or vice-versa) If desired, an additional ref. source can be found at http://www.fbodaily.com/archive/2003/03-March/22-Mar-2003/FBO-00284653.htm (US Coast Guard a soilicitation notice contracting out full site/land/property backgroud searches for 75 US Coast Guard Houses - incl. ' EXECUTION ROCKS LIGHT, NEW ROCHELLE, NY; '). -- BronxBEAT ( talk) 06:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree with Orlady when he said, For a lighthouse, the most relevant item of geographic info is the body of water, not the city). And, even if it is located within the borders of New Rochelle, it's logically more associated with New York, since it marks the channel into New York. If you asked 100 random mariners familiar with these waters, "Where is Execution Rocks", I doubt if a single one would say, "In New Rochelle"; it's just not the way people think about these things. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:37, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
