The result of the debate was moved. enochlau (talk) 15:28, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a Pennsylvania state park officially named Kings Gap Environmental Education and Training Center and the question is whether to make this or Kings Gap State Park the article name (with the other as a redirect). Currently the shorter name is the main name. What do you all think? Thanks, Ruhrfisch 03:13, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying you object to the name change by User:Dincher without asking anyone first? --evrik ^(talk) 14:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry for any misunderstanding. The answer is no, Dincher and I have discussed this on our talk pages (see mine here and Dincher's here) and I asked the question originally at the Wikiproject Pennsylvania Talk page with Dincher's approval. My idea was to come up with a consensus there and then implement the change (if any) only after consensus was reached. I moved the discussion back there as I was not asking that a move be made, only asking what the consensus of the members of the project was. Now evrik has moved it back here a second time, so I will leave it here. Thanks for any feedback, Ruhrfisch 15:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I edited the preceding comments so they made sense here as they were originally on the WikiProject Pennsylvania Talk Page. Ruhrfisch 16:51, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I moved the comments back here, as this is the appropriate place to have the discussion. --evrik ^(talk) 16:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that it is important to keep both names. Upon reflection I think that the proper name shoud be Kings Gap Environmental Education and Training Center. I just want to make sure that the name Kings Gap State Park is also available for users. The names are synonomus. Dincher 18:24, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with Dincher - the longer name is the official name, but a redirect is useful. Ruhrfisch 21:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

URL and Title for Kings Gap Environmental Education Center (again)

I would like to propose that the name be shortened back to Kings Gap Environmental Education Center, because... 1. That's how it's used in the remainder of the article (be consistent) 2. "and Training" does not appear to be in the official name per https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/KingsGapEnvironmentalEducationCenter/Pages/default.aspx 3. By inserting the "and Training" the article does not link correctly in iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/places/kings-gap-environmental-education-center ("About Kings Gap Environmental Education Center" tab) Michael pirrello (talk) 19:39, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I support this move, too. I still don't remember how to do it. Gerry D (talk) 00:29, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New note: Looks like the training center was renamed in 1991 per ^[1]Michael pirrello (talk) 15:43, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
