Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The
WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.
Whoever wikified every damn place in the county certainly set himself on the road to a mighty task, but is it necessary? Stepp-Wulf 03:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC).
The hamlets with the same names as the townships are distinct entities and should have separate links, and ultimately, articles. I'm trying to get county residents to check out the article, or lack thereof, on their village or hamlet and add to it. I doubt that there'll ever be an article for every spot with a name, but isn't that the mark to shoot for? ~~Clarkpark~~
I'm working on fleshing out "every damn place" but it will take time and, hopefully, help of others. I see this opportunity for local historians and others interested in their communities to add information available to others. It's certainly simpler than setting up one's own web site.

If we take The New York State Gazetteer (pub. by NYS Department of Health, 1995; http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/scandoclinks/ocm35297616.htm) as authoritative, many of the "hamlets" listed here are not officially hamlets. The Gazetteer lists the hamlets in Onondaga County as follows:

Well, maybe you'll be mad now that I deleted the redundant "hamlets" that are also listed as "towns". If there were entries for these hamlets or even a reasonable expectation of an entry, I would not have done that. But at least the "town" entries represent government subdivisions, whereas the "hamlet" designations often, if not usually, represent archaic place names almost forgotten from history. While I like preserving history, don't we need some actual entries for these "hamlets" to justify listing so many that are especially redundant with actual political subdivisions in the same exact area?

Does this really need to be hidden by default? I keep coming back here and forgetting it's hidden and wonder how many others don't realize? Is there any really good purpose for doing that? EmjayMiller ( talk) 01:08, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
I need some help on copyrights. I have a History of the Town of Skaneateles, which has information on the hamlets in that township that would be hard to find elsewhere. This book was written under the WPA writers program – employing out of work authors during the depression to create historical tomes that would otherwise never exist. What copyright status do these publicly financed works have sixty and seventy years after publication? What's Wiki policy on this? When I have time, can I summarize the history from this book and create articles? Can it used in its entirety (which actually isn't likely, since the book is a couple of hundred pages)? Is there a way to find out which other townships and communities were chronicled by WPA writers? This seems to be a resource that would advance Wiki's goals of preserving knowledge in the virtual Encyclopedia Galactaca. I'll check this page every so often, or anyone with answers can email me directly at clarkpark@twcny.rr.com. ~~Clarkpark~~
This article REALLY needs better photos. Anything would be better than those boring shots of Oneida Lake and Lysander. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.58.32.209 ( talk) 01:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
This article's table with presidential election results references "Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections" as source. At least in the public online version of that source, the data presented are at a state level only; it is not clear where the county-level data were sourced from. Additional reference(s) needed.

The National Urban Policy and New Community Development Act of 1970 provided funding for an entity that would be in Onandago County called Radisson. Wikipedia doesn't have an article on this town. I suspect it was never officially turned into its own municipality. Most of the so-called "new towns" failed. But I see that the Radisson Community is an ongoing thing. Its office address is in Baldwinsville, New York. I wonder if anyone who works on this Onandago County article knows anything about this situation. Novellasyes ( talk) 19:01, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
