Talk:Lafayette Parish, Louisiana

Alleged Conflict of Interest
I reverted the alleged “conflict of interest” because Mr. Harder fails to provide any hard, verifiable, and reliable evidence or documentation to support his speculation that the URLs that I posted are an actual conflict of interest. In my opinion, he has removed the below links, which are pertinent to this parish, without any clear, stated justification or reason for claiming that a “conflict of interest” has occurred.

 * Heinrich, P. V., and W. J. Autin, 2000, Baton Rouge 30 x 60 minute geologic quadrangle. Louisiana Geological Survey, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

 * Heinrich, P. V., J. Snead, and R. P. McCulloh, 2003, Crowley 30 x 60 minute geologic quadrangle. Louisiana Geological Survey, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

(Note: there are two citations because each quadrangle contains a significant piece of Lafayette Parish, Louisiana)

First, the original concern about a conflict of interest on my talk page was about an article cited in the Bosnian pyramids, which is a very controversial topic, and that I cited a popular, non-peer-review article that had serious and valid concerns about it meeting the Wikipedia standards for criteria for verifiability and reliability. Given the lack of any serious controversy about the current geologic mapping of Louisiana that has been published in the peer-reviewed literature, I am not promoting my point of view over another point of view by putting links to the PDF files of geologic maps to the web pages from which yhe reverted them. There is no conflict for me to have a conflict of interest in. I am just putting links to where people can find free PDF files of geologic maps that cover these parishes. I fail to see where a conflict of interest exists in providing URLs to where people can find free, peer-reviewed information about the geology of these parishes.

Second, given that the Quaternary geology of Louisiana is my specialty, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to add links up-to-date publications about the geology of southern Louisiana without referencing my own publications. If he would look at the publications that I have added, none of them are self-published. Before publication, as is official policy of the publisher, they have all been intensively peer-reviewed by geologists both inside and outside of the publisher.

If was to write a short paragraph about the geology of each parish, I would have to, in addition to the peer-reviewed publications of other geologists, also cite my own peer-reviewed publications, to provide an accurate and up-to-date summary of what has been said about the geology of the area. If I write for Wikipedia about something, which I am expert in, i.e. the Geology of the Louisiana coastal plain, it would be essential that I would reference some of the papers that I have published about Louisiana geology.

Finally, Louisiana references that he reverted all meet the criteria for verifiability and reliability. For example, references to hard copies of the geologic maps that I provided links to all can be found in either Geologic Quadrangle Maps (1:100,000) or Open-File Geologic Quadrangle Maps (1:100,000). Hard copies of the information circulars, to which I posted links are listed at Public Information Series. The links to the PDf files of the posted publication are officially online at Maps and Public Information Series.Paul H. (talk) 12:46, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Prayer Controversy
I removed the section on the prayer controversy. I find that it also appears, verbatim, in the article on Morehouse Parish School Board and really doesn't need to appear in both places. The section here ought to give an encyclopedic general overview of education in Morehouse Parish.

I'm also torn on the issue of inclusion anywhere in Wikipedia. My gut says that this event is not notable and is more news than encyclopedic information and should be in wikinews rather than wikipedia. The only reason I an resisting taking the information out of the School Board article is the argument that could be made on the event's 'lasting effect'. I don't know if that applies or not but I'm going to err on the side of caution. :)  Wikipelli   Talk   16:11, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Martial law?
This article states that martial law was imposed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina; the pages on the damage to New Orleans claim that the term "martial law" is not in Louisiana's legislation and what was declared was therefore a state of emergency.

Talk:St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana

External link
I removed a link that doesn't work. I'm repeating it on this page, for anyone that wants to search for this. The link was |The Isleños of St. Bernard Parish. Lou I 14:23, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Cultural Memory
My wife's family are from the Isleños community. They have a distinct distrust of city/state officials stemming from the flooding of the parish in the Great flood of 1927. According to family oral history, they promised to re-imburse residents before the intentional breech, but backed away from fulfilling the pledge after the flood - apparently only the well connected were ever compensated. During Hurricane Katrina (August 2005) we got calls from relatives still living in St. Bernard Parish warning us that, "the dynamite is on the levee!"

 * Yes, that's discussed in some detail in the book "Rising Tide", mentioned in the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 article. -- Infrogmation 19:02, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Population Update
I've added the new "official guess" from today's Advocate, having done the same for the Baton Rouge page, which I keep a much closer eye on. --Michael K. Smith 19:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Eastern St. Bernard
We seem sorely lacking in info and articles on eastern St. Bernard, such as the communities of Reggio, Yscloskey, Shell Beach, Hopedale, and Delacroix, none of which currently have articles. Also, some maps refer to "Alluvial City", which I've never been sure if that were another name for Yscloskey, or a blanket term for the whole Yscloskey/Shell Beach/Hopedale etc area, or what-- info? Also, the former vilage of Proctorville (of which the ruins of Fort Proctor remains)-- should that be a separate article, or part of Shell Beach article? Thoughts, info? -- Infrogmation 18:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Alluvial City is was planned community by some company or another down there. It's more of a subdivision of some type or another.. (Or was.  There's nothing much down there anymore.) Proctor's Landing is (was) the subdivision around Ft. Proctor, I think.  I don't think that there's enough material to sustain a full article on each separate community.  It's better to combine them in to a large article.  (With the exception of St. Malo.) I'll hunt up the article on St. Bernard Place name that was in the Picayune when I can get into Lexis Nexis again. The Army Corps also has some photos of Betsy devistation from Carolyn Park and Bayou Terre-aux-Boeufs that I'll try and remember to scan in. --Kunzite 01:05, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

 * P.S. We should do Martello Castle too. It is (was?) out there somewhere.  --Kunzite 01:10, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I live down here. Toca was listed as a ghost town, but I deleted it because the concept of Toca very much exists and people live there. There are signs indicating the Toca Gas Plants and a Toca Water District. It's mainly where the Fanz trailer park is located -- 2600:1700:A751:5510:C510:8BCB:3BD7:62B9 (talk) 02:05, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Dynamite
I question the accuracy of the statement involving dynomiting the levies. This is mostly rumor from what I understand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkow88 (talk • contribs) 04:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

 * The article makes reference to the levees being dynamited during the 1927 Mississippi River flood, not Katrina. There is no argument that the levees were intentioned breached in 1927.  VerruckteDan (talk) 22:48, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Thank you for clarifying and thanks for the reference to the statement. I had traveled to Saint Bernard recently for a service trip and during the presentations they implied there was no definitive proof of the 1927 dynamiting.  With rumors being presented one way or the other, the corp of engineer's photo and the reference help strengthen the article.Mkow88 (talk) 05:43, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:St. Landry Parish, Louisiana

Alleged Conflict of Interest
I reverted the alleged “conflict of interest” because Mr. Harder fails to provide any hard, verifiable, and reliable evidence or documentation to support his speculation that the URLs that I posted are an actual conflict of interest. In my opinion, he has removed the below links, which are pertinent to this parish, without any clear, stated justification or reason for claiming that a “conflict of interest” has occurred.

 * Heinrich, P. V., and W. J. Autin, 2000, Baton Rouge 30 x 60 minute geologic quadrangle. Louisiana Geological Survey, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

 * Heinrich, P. V., J. Snead, and R. P. McCulloh, 2003, Crowley 30 x 60 minute geologic quadrangle. Louisiana Geological Survey, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

 * Snead, J., P. V. Heinrich, and R. P. McCulloh, 2002, Ville Platte 30 x 60 minute geologic quadrangle. Louisiana Geological Survey, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

(Note: there are three citations because each quadrangle contains a significant piece of St. Landry Parish, Louisiana)

First, the original concern about a conflict of interest on my talk page was about an article cited in the Bosnian pyramids, which is a very controversial topic, and that I cited a popular, non-peer-review article that had serious and valid concerns about it meeting the Wikipedia standards for criteria for verifiability and reliability. Given the lack of any serious controversy about the current geologic mapping of Louisiana that has been published in the peer-reviewed literature, I am not promoting my point of view over another point of view by putting links to the PDF files of geologic maps to the web pages from which he reverted them. There is no conflict for me to have a conflict of interest in. I am just putting links to where people can find free PDF files of geologic maps that cover these parishes. I fail to see where a conflict of interest exists in providing URLs to where people can find free, peer-reviewed information about the geology of these parishes.

Second, given that the Quaternary geology of Louisiana is my specialty, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to add links up-to-date publications about the geology of southern Louisiana without referencing my own publications. If he would look at the publications that I have added, none of them are self-published. Before publication, as is official policy of the publisher, they have all been intensively peer-reviewed by geologists both inside and outside of the publisher.

If was to write a short paragraph about the geology of each parish, I would have to, in addition to the peer-reviewed publications of other geologists, also cite my own peer-reviewed publications, to provide an accurate and up-to-date summary of what has been said about the geology of the area. If I write for Wikipedia about something, which I am expert in, i.e. the Geology of the Louisiana coastal plain, it would be essential that I would reference some of the papers that I have published about Louisiana geology.

Finally, Louisiana references that he reverted all meet the criteria for verifiability and reliability. For example, references to hard copies of the geologic maps that I provided links to all can be found in either Geologic Quadrangle Maps (1:100,000) or Open-File Geologic Quadrangle Maps (1:100,000). Hard copies of the information circulars, to which I posted links are listed at Public Information Series.

DYK
I am not up on all the DYK workings on Wikipedia (someone nominated content on an article I contributed to) but there are not any other parishes that I know of, and I would surmise no other counties in the United States, where a political sub-division was separated into non-contiguous parts by another sub-division (not counting naturally separated islands), that was actually the result of an error, and never corrected. This seems to me to be an interesting fact that would deserve a DYK mention. Otr500 (talk) 13:37, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Map Image Incorrect
The image of the state of Louisiana used on the St. Tammany Parish article is erroneous. Lake Pontchartrain's shoreline is absolutely incorrect while St. Tammany Parish's borders are also wrong. --Heavy 16:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, all the Louisiana parish locator maps show only the parish lines and none of the large bodies of water in the state. Technically, the maps are correct, showing the boundaries as they extend into Lake Pontchartrain.  However I would agree that this is not the best depiction.  I think that all the parish maps should show both Lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas, as they both cover areas where parish lines converge and are both depicted in the locator maps used for cities and towns in Louisiana.  This will be an issue that WikiProject New Orleans will deal with, as we are trying to improve the articles on parishes in the New Orleans area.  VerruckteDan 16:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I know I lived in this area for 25 years, if I knew how to up load detailed pictures I would define and outline ever village in St. Tammany. Sorry the area that I refer to as Lee rd. is actually the village of Blond. One other thing the U.S. census is just a way to group people into nice little groups, for instance the Eden Isles cdp. If you went and asked 80 percent of the people that are supposed to live there they would tell you that Eden Isles is a subdivision, and that they do not live there,because I know a lot of people who used to outside of the subdivision. This is Eden Isles home page http://www.edenisles.com/realestate/index.htm they even say that they live in Slidell. 25- 30 percent of what the Census is calling Eden isles is Oak Harbor not a good detailed picture but you might get the point, it is just a golf course owned by the same people under a different corporate name. http://www.oakharborgolf.com/locations.htm.

New Orleans Greater metro area????
Greater Metro areas are a great tool for the census, problem with it is natural boundries. Lake Pontchartrain is 630 square miles or 1631 square km shaped like an oval. If a town B develops on the other side of the Grand Canyon is it a suburb of city A. I have seen nothing from the census beauru saying to points 24 miles apart are connectted(almost widestpoint of lake;Mandeville to Jefferson parish not N.O. parish), and at the other end of the lake on a map it looks like solid land on a map, but it is not it is swamp,marsh and a lake(east end of lake;Slidell to N.O. east). New Orleans East is swamp and marsh to say the least for a good 10 miles, If you get off the roads their is no dry land just swamp and marsh, and deep mud. In 30 years the only time you could have walked on it was a several years ago(5+) when it did not rain for about a year. The west end of the lake is a giant swamp beside Lake Maurepas, and yes I know that their are 7 brigdes across. Vesago1978 19:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)jme1

While I applaud the work of all teachers, and do not know any of the people mentioned in this article, I do not think they currently meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion without articles of their own. Please see the following policies and guidelines on notability and especially on biographies of living persons (which says in part that "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia articles..."). So write articles about these good people and then you can add them back in - until then, they do not belong here and I will remove them. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><> ° ° 22:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Create List of Twin-named Border Counties
It seems out of balance to have the entire list of twin-named border counties included in this article. Maybe someone should create a List article: "List of Border Counties in the United States with the Same Names," or something like that, to include the following: These are Big Horn County, Montana and Big Horn County, Wyoming; Sabine County, Texas and Sabine Parish, Louisiana; Bristol County, Massachusetts and Bristol County, Rhode Island; Kent County, Maryland and Kent County, Delaware; Escambia County, Alabama and Escambia County, Florida; Pike County, Illinois and Pike County, Missouri; Teton County, Idaho and Teton County, Wyoming; Park County, Montana and Park County, Wyoming; San Juan County, New Mexico and San Juan County, Utah; Union County, Arkansas and Union Parish, Louisiana; and [[Vermilion County, Illinois and Vermillion County, Indiana. (Note, despite the different spellings, the source of the name is the same for Vermilion County, Illinois and Vermillion County, Indiana—the Vermillion River which flows through both counties.). Is this entire list now included in every article for every county among the twin names? That seems a lot of digression from the main topic of the county or parish itself in each article.

Talk:Vermilion Parish, Louisiana

Alledged Conflict of Interest
I reverted the alleged “conflict of interest” because Mr. Harder fails to provide any hard, verifiable, and reliable evidence or documentation to support his speculation that the URLs that I posted are an actual conflict of interest. In my opinion, he has removed the below links, which are pertinent to this parish, without any clear, stated justification or reason for claiming that a “conflict of interest” has occurred.

 * Heinrich, P. V., 2006, White Lake 30 x 60 minute geologic quadrangle. Louisiana Geological Survey, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

 * Heinrich, P. V., J. Snead, and R. P. McCulloh, 2003, Crowley 30 x 60 minute geologic quadrangle. Louisiana Geological Survey, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

(Note: there are two citations because each quadrangle contains a significant piece of Vermilion Parish, Louisiana)

First, the original concern about a conflict of interest on my talk page was about an article cited in the Bosnian pyramids, which is a very controversial topic, and that I cited a popular, non-peer-review article that had serious and valid concerns about it meeting the Wikipedia standards for criteria for verifiability and reliability. Given the lack of any serious controversy about the current geologic mapping of Louisiana that has been published in the peer-reviewed literature, I am not promoting my point of view over another point of view by putting links to the PDF files of geologic maps to the web pages from which he reverted them. There is no conflict for me to have a conflict of interest in. I am just putting links to where people can find free PDF files of geologic maps that cover these parishes. I fail to see where a conflict of interest exists in providing URLs to where people can find free, peer-reviewed information about the geology of these parishes.

Second, given that the Quaternary geology of Louisiana is my specialty, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to add links up-to-date publications about the geology of southern Louisiana without referencing my own publications. If he would look at the publications that I have added, none of them are self-published. Before publication, as is official policy of the publisher, they have all been intensively peer-reviewed by geologists both inside and outside of the publisher.

If was to write a short paragraph about the geology of each parish, I would have to, in addition to the peer-reviewed publications of other geologists, also cite my own peer-reviewed publications, to provide an accurate and up-to-date summary of what has been said about the geology of the area. If I write for Wikipedia about something, which I am expert in, i.e. the Geology of the Louisiana coastal plain, it would be essential that I would reference some of the papers that I have published about Louisiana geology.

Finally, Louisiana references that he reverted all meet the criteria for verifiability and reliability. For example, references to hard copies of the geologic maps that I provided links to all can be found in either Geologic Quadrangle Maps (1:100,000) or Open-File Geologic Quadrangle Maps (1:100,000). Hard copies of the information circulars, to which I posted links are listed at Public Information Series. The links to the PDf files of the posted publication are officially online at Maps and Public Information Series.Paul H. (talk) 12:37, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

"bow-stawn" with a short "n"
We readers don't get it. "Bow" as in "bow before me, puny humans!" or "bow" as in "bow tie"? We get the "aw" as in "straw" or "saw", but what the heck is a short "n"? Are you trying to say that, instead of pronouncing the "n" separately, you just nasalize the vowel, as French people tend to do? You know, "educashaw(n)" for "education"?

A friggin start class (actually at least C-class)

 * WOW! This is listed as a a friggin Start-class that is arguable a C-class article. Back to 2002 I have only seen your user name twice (unless I missed it), now, and back on 11:59, November 2, 2016, when you correctly reverted unsourced content.
 * Your reasoning is undue! That is subjective. As an FYI-- I was going to create an article on the subject. A problem arose when the database dump listed Grant Parish. I could not find that, nor sourcing where one or the other Parish line was moved. I DO NOT make dictionary entries so listed it on this article actually to find sources and to see if it was worth adding at all and if there was something to use with this article. I didn't want to create a sandbox for a possible dictionary entry or a community listed in the wrong parish. There was evidence of Packton being in Winn Parish but it was slim. You must have some connection to the article but it seems "protecting" a lower class article, especially when another editor is not known for just adding junk, is somewhat counter.
 * Anyway, you can have Packton and Winn Parish. I will just edit somewhere else. Thanks, Otr500 (talk) 23:11, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

What the heyho is an unincorporated community within a town???
In the article under the section header, Communities is this sub-heading: Unincorporated communities within towns.

That is an oxymoron if ever there was.

If one follows the Wikipedia hot link under unincorporated on any page that the listings takes one to, from this very article, one finds this definition: An unincorporated area is a region that is not governed by a local municipal corporation.

So how can any part of an incorporated municipality, such as a town, be an unincorporated community?

Sounds to me like somebody wants to list neighborhoods, which would be an unending and likely non-verifiable list. For instance, is Munjoy Hill in Portland an unincorporated community within the town(city)?

To the best of my knowledge, the state of Maine only recognizes Cities, Towns, and Plantations as municipalities, and only two Villages (Oquossoc in Rangeley town, and Springvale in Sanford) beyond the unincorporated and unorganized townships all of which have defined borders and specific names, even if some names are letter/numeral combinations.

If one wants to make a list of neighborhoods, or commonly-known-as residential areas, then a better definition should be thought up. As it is, there can't be an unincorporated community within an incorporated town/city. JackME (talk) 23:42, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Missing 2010 Census Data
On 21 Jan 2016, User:Omnedon created comprehensive sections for the 2000 and 2010 Census data. (Thanks!) However, somehow, the numbers for 2010 were missing. It looks like this hasn't been filled in yet! (2021-08-20). For reference, this edit (21 Jan, 2016 by User:Omnedon) was the original creation.

I've used the linked reference(archive) to get the data, which is as follows:

 * Population/People: 122,151
 * Total Households: 51,128
 * Families: 32,368

Merging into the article, but I wanted to provide a bit more context here!

Notoriety
Shouldn't something about the following be added to the article ? Knox County is all over the mainstream news organisations' dispatches on account of ita Republican Party delegation proposing to the state party conference significangt amendments for its platfor, amendments which were eventually adopted and created quite a controversy (e.g. here). In the same news, the Knox County delegates were housed for their caucus during the state party convention in a Maine state school and, subsequently, the school's principals complained about politically-motivated vandalism in the premises. -The Gnome (talk) 11:01, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect County Map
Guys, please don't put that map of Maine highlighting Lincoln county back. That's not Lincoln county highlighted on that map. The county on that map is Sagadahoc County. Look at a map of Maine...starting at the NH border, it goes York, Cumberland, Sagadahoc, then Lincoln. The county highlighted on that map is only the third county up from NH, therefore it's not the correct one. Ed Sanville 19:30, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

County seat
I know the municipality in which it's located is organized as the Town of Paris--and South Paris pretty much exists only as a Census Bureau and Post Office designation--but Maine.gov's page on Oxford County does list the county seat as "South Paris." Ripogenus77 (talk) 15:02, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * What is a county seat anyway? Is it a location (address) or is it a specific municipality? If the former, then South Paris would be the correct one. If the latter, then it would be Paris. Also, the county website does use Paris rather than South Paris. So, which is it? --Polaron | Talk 15:09, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No clear answer here (state statutes) as to what exactly constitutes a county seat. My best guess is that the municipality is the county seat, from what's implied by various provisions. It could be that whoever created the state's web page on Oxford County incorrectly(?) listed South Paris because of the county offices' mailing addresses. Presumably whoever administers the county's own website is/was in a better position to know... so I'd propose going with what the county website says. I suppose confusion stems from the fact that federal government policy (USPS, Census Bureau) and state law sometimes have conflicting definitions as to what constitutes a community in Maine, especially in light of the New England states' unique form of municipal organization. Ripogenus77 (talk) 15:38, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I would assume that Paris is the seat: not only because of what's said above, but because NACo (quite reliable, although of course not definitive) lists Paris as the county seat. I ran a search, by the way, through all the state statutes, and noted that law libraries are required to be established in certain places statewide:"There must be a system of law libraries accessible to all citizens within the State, under the supervision of the State Court Library Committee. These libraries must be located in [list follows]:" Of these seventeen, fifteen are municipalities that are county seats, one is Caribou (I guess they figured Aroostook was just too large to have just one?), and the last was South Paris.  Reading this text indicates to me that they mean where you'd go if you were going there (if you want the Somerset library, you'd say "I'm going to the library at South Paris"), not the official location.  Perhaps it would be better to say something like "the county offices have a South Paris address"?  It's just a pity that Maine isn't similar to Vermont in this way: see Title 24, Part I, Chapter 1, §13 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated — no question where the county seat is there :-)  Nyttend (talk) 16:09, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
