In this diff, [ [1]], Orlady reverted doncram's attempt to insert the fact that there is question whether the village and the historic district are in fact identical. Her edit comment was "revert doncram's weasel words" in response to his edit comment "(link to separate article on the NRHP HD. This is escalating, why not discuss/address CT first?)". She removed his link to the separate article, which is a wikinotable, sourced stub. The stub links to this article, why should this article not link to the stub. As far as reinserting the assertion that they are identical, I doubt that very much. I understand that villages are amorphous in New England, but the historic district is not. The only way to tell for sure would be to read the nomination document, and see what is specifically included in the historic district, and compare that to a map of the region, where, amorphous or not, you can usually tell by the concentration of roads what can reasonably be considerd part of the "village". In every case I have ever done this, they have NOT been identical. Unless the district is uninhabited now, I very much doubt that to be the case. It is incomprehensible to me why a respected administrator such as Orlady persists in refusing to acknowledge even the possibility that these two entities might not be exactly the same. I am going to attempt to insert some language that she might find acceptable. Lvklock ( talk) 16:44, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
[OUTDENT] Regardless of the what the reality might be, the current wording of this article is fine, thanks to Lvklock's clear thinking and good writing. I still contend that the wording in the HD article, saying "It includes some or all of an unincorporated community named Peace Dale, Rhode Island" makes Wikipedia look stupid, and I further believe that creating a separate article for the HD is inappropriate content forking. -- Orlady ( talk) 12:52, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
There is a merger proposal at Peace Dale Historic District which links to discussion here. For clarity, for others who might join the discussion, could we let this new section be the place to discuss that? Certainly comments within the above discussion section (such as Orlady's concern about content forking) should be considered by anyone specifically commenting on the merger proposal.
For the record, I am opposed to a merger being forced, at first level because no one has obtained the National Register application document which would likely clarify the extent of overlap between the unincorporated community and the NRHP HD. It seems to me premature to have a discussion about forcing a merger when such a basic, free source document has not yet been obtained. \
Also, while there is a merger proposal pending, I think it is wp:disruptive and various other negative things, for anyone to delete the merger tags and the article as a whole in redirecting it here, as if a consensus had been reached, which has not in fact happened. doncram ( talk) 18:19, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
For reference, here's a map of the historic district based on RIGIS data. -- Polaron | Talk 02:33, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
I have a large collection of Coke products from all over the States, and going Thur some bottles yesterday I came across a 6 ounce Coke bottle with Peace Dale. RI on the bottom. Is this plant still in existence, and where was it located in PD. It is well "worn" out on the sides, no markings visible, has been in service for a long time. It was purchased from the Coke plant here in Florence, Al,some 15 years ago. Thanks!!!!
