I've reverted your edits to this article, as they are inacccurate. The city is indeed called the "City of New York". "New York, New York" is a postal address, nothing more. Please don't make those kinds of changes again unless you know what you're doing. BMK (talk) 21:41, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
I understand what you are saying. It's just that no human being here on the East Coast of America would say "Take me to Manhattan, New York City". That was my very small complaint. However, New York has the complicated features of: 1) Being another name for Manhattan Island 2) Being the entire City of New York (5 Boros) 3) Being the entire state of New York.
And these three things are going to conspire against accurate naming practices for locations in Manhattan here on Wikipedia. However, I must assume that this or a similar discussion took place here on Wikipedia in the past, and that the present policies were agreed upon at that time. I will refrain from attempting to call-places-in-Manhattan-what-they-are-actually-called-instead-of-something-like-it in the future. In the end, the strange semantic Tilt-A-Whirl created by the above-mentioned three features is enough to render both of our statements meaningless. "New York, New York" is not merely a postal address. It is a place: the island of New York in the State of New York. But, as I have already said, these distinctions do not bother most cities.
Also, in 1871 Manhattan was the only part of New York. Manhattan is the name of the island, New York is the name of the city. Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island did not join the city until 1898. But once again, for the fourth time (I think), I must acknowledge that New York's peculiar naming schema defies all attempts to use the name precisely.--Mousebelt (talk) 22:57, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for September 11
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Glen Edward Rogers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page FBI Files. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages (including user talk pages) such as Talk:Phonaesthetics are for discussion related to improving (a) an encyclopedia article in specific ways based on reliable sources or (b) project policies and guidelines. They are not for general discussion about the article topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.
