Talk:Forest Hills, Queens

Source đź“ť

243: 222: 253: 562:"Long Island City, NY", etc. The USPS does not use "Queens, NY" in any address, if I recall correctly. And of course "New York" can mean both the city and the state. Due to these complications, New Yorkers have a time-honored way of naming these neighborhoods, the simple comma version, by borough. So in this case, the article has been renamed from a common name to an obscure name with parentheses. 191: 331: 561:
The article was just renamed from "Forest Hills, Queens" to "Forest Hills (Queens)". That does not really make sense for New York City, since neighborhoods are commonly referred to in exactly the previous way. In addition, some neighborhoods are U.S. Postal Service "cities", such as "Flushing, NY",
637:
Queens in this context doesn't really mean anything to anyone outside of New York City, in my opinion. Queens is a county within New York City. Forest Hills is a neighborhood of New York City that happens to be in Queens County. I personally prefer Forest Hills, New York as I think it is more
591:
The guideline states that census-designated places (CDPs) follow the comma guideline, and that neighborhoods within cities do not, unless disambiguation is needed. Forest Hills isn't a CDP. The purpose of the convention is to keep article names as simple as possible. "Forest Hills" would have

P.S. 144 is also a great elementry school. It goes through sixth grade (a little more time to think about middle school!) and it features many residencies. I went there as a child, and in fifth grade, we participated in a ballroom dancing programming curtisy of the work of

I remove a wee bit of unsourced original research material and will do more. I lived on Queens Blvd for 5 years not that it matters. Maybe I should add that St. Garcia's mex restaurant rules even though the 5 borough(sp) ain't bad either :)
153: 371:
P.S. 174 is another elementary school that is zoned for Forest Hills - even though the school itself is located in the Rego Park Cresents. I know this is fact because I grew up in Forest Hills and I went to P.S. 174.
664:
I concur with Unmasked. Forest Hills, New York is unambiguous, more helpful to someone not familar with the area, matches local usage, and causes no confusion. All the Queens articles should really be named this way.
592:
sufficed, except that there's more than one Forest Hills. The guidelines seem to suggest that "Placename, State" is acceptable to disambiguate a place that's not a CDP. Do you prefer Forest Hills, New York? --
1014: 1119: 147: 1030:"It is bounded by Burns Street to the north, Union Turnpike to the east, Greenway South and Harrow Street to the south, and Tennis Place and Continental Avenue to the west." 1013:
The boundaries in the current version of the article appear to be specifically for Forest Hills Gardens: Burns Street is *definitely* not the northern border of Forest Hills!

I think this article could use a map. I'm also not clear about where the borders are. Is 118-17 Union Turnpike in Forest Hills or Flushing? I've seen it called both. --

Why is SpiderMan listed under notable residents? He is a fictional character. It would be like saying in a Philadelphia article "Rocky Balboa also lives here".
