Wikipedia:WikiProject Connecticut/Connecticut communities
Connecticut communities. This is a wp:CONN workpage intended to list out Connecticut communities (towns, boroughs, municipalities, villages, neighborhoods) which have or need articles, which are named according to naming conventions or need name changes, or which have associated redirects that need to be deleted. Per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Connecticut#Connecticut communities topics.
There are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of Connecticut former or current commmunities, villages, town centers or other locations/areas which lack articles. These are listed here in this Connecticut's Principal Communities list, this list of Post Office locations, or this list of Old towns, villages, and districts with no post office, and perhaps even some in this list of Towns and Boroughs having elections.
PLEASE DON'T USE THIS WORKPAGE TO CREATE MORE REDIRECTS THAT MAY OBSCURE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
PLEASE DON'T LAUNCH A BUNCH OF MOVE REQUESTS or MERGER or SPLIT PROPOSALS. Let this be sorted out a bit and discussed at section of wt:CONN. --Doncram (talk) 17:44, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Principal communities
[edit]- Abington, Connecticut, in Pomfret, is redirect to Pomfret, Connecticut which mentions Abington in Pomfret, Connecticut#Villages section. Abington is a dab page that includes CT one.
- Addison, Connecticut, in Glastonbury, redlink, needs article?). Addison is a dab page that includes redlink entry for CT one (which per MOSDAB can be deleted by any editor, so CT article should be created?)
- Allentown, Connecticut, in Plymouth, redlink, needs article? Allentown is a dab page that does NOT include CT one.
- Allingtown, Connecticut, in West Haven, is redirect to West Haven, Connecticut#Principal communities which mentions Allington in context. Allingtown is a redirect to West Haven, Connecticut
- Almyville, Connecticut, in Plainfield. Almyville is a redlink (should this become redirect to CT one?)
- Amenia Union, Connecticut, in Sharon, redlink, needs article. Amenia Union is a redlink (should this become redirect to CT one?)
- Amesville, Connecticut, in Salisbury, redlink, needs article. Amesville is a redirect to Amesville, Ohio. Amesville (disambiguation) is a redlink.
