Talk:The Hill, St. Louis

Dago - I took out the part that said the word "dago" is "rarely used today." I am from St. Louis, of one-half Sicilian heritage, and I hear people use this word all the time. Though typically it is in a jocular manner (so maybe it could be left, but a note such as this could be added). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.52.89.94 (talk) 03:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

• Move — it makes total sense that the long dab list should be here, as none of the contenders really stand out above any of the others. --Gareth Hughes 17:22, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

• Move -- Kbh3rd 18:05, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

• Move per naming conventions. Aim for primary disambiguation where possible. Alphax ^τεχ 00:24, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

• Move. Surely the reference to Capitol Hill in D.C. is the most common anyway.--Pharos 17:28, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup

This disambiguation page was marked for cleanup per MoS:DAB.

I deleted the following entries for being unneccessary information that should be obvious from the rest of the dab page:

• The Hill is a common name for the most prominent geological feature of its kind in an area, or for the neighborhood, structures, or institutions associated with it.
• In a number of countries Capital Buildings have been placed above and separate from general urban areas.
• In a number of countries and cultures, dominant religious or political entities place their buildings on hills to spatially express positions of power and dominance over the surrounding countryside.

Deleted for now being linked to from Capitol Hill (disambiguation) in the "See also" section:

• "Capital Hill," site of the Parliament House in Canberra, Australia
• "Parliament Hill," the buildings and institution of the Parliament of Canada in Ottawa.
• "The Hill" is a nickname for the Capitol Hill district in Washington, DC and by extension, the United States Congress. Similarly, "The Hill" may refer to other Capitol Hills, as those of Denver, Colorado; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; or Seattle, Washington.

Trimmed to make the dab descriptions shorter (you are free to include the info on the main articles' pages):

• "The Hill" was a former grassed section of the Sydney Cricket Ground, famous for the rowdy behaviour of its fans until it was replaced with an all-seat grandstand.
• 'The hill" in Edmonton is the location of the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. A common departure greeting is "See you on the hill next year."
• "The Hill" is often used to refer to Hill 16, the terraced section of Croke Park, which was originally built from some of the rubble created in Dublin following the Easter Rising in 1916. It is a popular place for Dublin fans during gaelic football matches there.
• "The Hill" is a term often used by locals in the Santa Cruz, California area to refer to the drive up California State Highway 17 to San Jose, California area, as in "Heading over the hill." Most often said in an un-happy way; when you need something you cannot find locally, and need to "Head over the Hill" to get it.
• "The Hill" is the unique "grass-seating" area of Clemson Memorial Stadium, affectionately known as "Death Valley", a large American football stadium at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. Considered the traditional student seating area, a major tradition involves the football team running down the hill before the start of each home game, fondly referred to as the 25 most exciting seconds in college football.
• "The Hill" is the unique "grass-seating" area of Scott Stadium, an American football stadium in the United States that is home to the Virginia Cavaliers. Seating here (actually, there are no seats) is popular among students, young adults, and children.
• "The Hill" also refers to an urban area near downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "The Hill" is formally known as "The Hill District", but it was given the name "The Hill" (sometimes pronounced "Da Hill") by its local residents.

I am not familiar with the following uses of "The Hill", so I left them in. Delete them if you know they are non-notable:

• "The Hill" or "The Hill District", an urban area near downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
• The Hill, a section of Chicago Heights, Illinois that is primarily Latino
• The Hill, drive-up California State Highway 17 to San Jose, California area

EoinRiedy (talk) 21:45, 31 January 2013 (UTC)== St. Aloysius Gonzaga Parish ==

Ther is no mention of St. Aloysius Church, which was closer to the geographical feature itself than St. Ambrose. I may add more myself, (I live with a former associate pastor of the parish) but I'll leave it to others for now. Some information here: http://archstl.org/archives/closedparish/st-aloysius-gonzaga-st-louis The church building had to be razed because it was physically sinking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EoinRiedy (talk • contribs) 21:39, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Avoiding Spam

This wikipedia article has seen spam in recent days by user rsvitale10. There is also a lack of sources. The article should not be a promotional piece. — Preceding unsigned comment added by St Louis History Buff (talk • contribs) 18:03, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
