I am not an expert on this, but the changes that are set to be passed are drastic and need coverage on wikipedia. The article Rent control in New York needs to cover this and could use some work done, but I am no expert on this. Any thoughts? Thanks.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 00:03, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
Requested moveEdit
I would like to suggest the renaming of the Community Boards of New York City category to Community Districts of New York City. The rationale is that the community district is the administrative unit, while the community board is the appointed representative of said district. The rationale also applies to the individual community district articles, such as Brooklyn Community Board 2, which should also be renamed (i.e. Brooklyn Community District 2). --HugoHelp (talk) 22:08, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
- This is an interesting idea. My whole life people have always called them "Community Boards", so I'm somewhat inclined to think this is a case of WP:COMMON and a valid use of metonymy like when "the Kremlin" refers to the Russian government. However, I was pretty impressed to see the in-depth portal for Community District Profiles on NYC.gov, so maybe that term is gaining more currency.--Pharos (talk) 23:10, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
- NYC.GOV uses "community boards" consistently. Searches on "community district" bring results pointing to "community board" articles. No change in current usage is indicated. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
