Talk:Chantilly, Virginia

Blog vs "national news"

• • • Chantilly made national news for killing hundreds of stray cats. ***

An estimated 200 feral cats at a trailer park in Chantilly, VA were trapped and euthanized. Sgt. Andrew Sanderson of the county police department’s animal services division said that "There is nothing legally holding them back. They have every legal right to trap on their property.” (Source: http://www.itchmo.com/) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.93.77.7 (talk) 02:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

The link is a blog (not a reliable source), and there's no cite for "national news" Tedickey (talk) 10:07, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Origin of name

Any relation to the famous (and undoubtedly original) town of Chantilly in France? There's a beautiful castle there in which it is said the "Chantilly cream" was invented one night for a dinner desert which the King of France was attending. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.193.22.40 (talk) 16:08, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I found no reliable source for this, but took a look and found a reliable source for a different origin Tedickey (talk) 16:24, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

The source notes that it was likely named for the home of Richard Henry Lee, which was in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Some digging would be needed to determine the source of its name, etc. Tedickey (talk) 16:44, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

NRO hq?

There is no source for this. The linked topic doesn't provide that information. Some searching finds that there is an "Office of Public Affairs" at an address on the boundary between Chantilly and Centreville. Lacking a primary source identifying Chantilly as NRO headquarters -- and a noticeable absence of topicality -- that should be trimmed back to its original state. Readers don't need random cut/paste to clutter up a lede. TEDickey (talk) 01:08, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

We can revisit this if someone gets around to cleaning up the topic. TEDickey (talk) 01:11, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Town?

A "Town" (or city or whatever) has a specific meaning, which Chantilly appears to lack. A suitable WP:RS is required. TEDickey (talk) 10:09, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Also of course (see the map), "westernmost" likewise appears nonfactual. Noting that a majority of the recent changes have no reliable source, some trimming would improve the topic TEDickey (talk) 10:13, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Repeating - take a look at the map. It would be interesting to see a reliable source which supports "westernmost". TEDickey (talk) 01:09, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Map?

It is impossible to state with the map used as reference 3 what the boundaries of the CDP are. In particular, note that the black area extends off the map and likely denotes abutting CDPs not identified. TEDickey (talk) 10:08, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Zipcode vs CDP

Zipcode is unrelated to CDP. Keep in mind that the Post Office (which defines zip-codes based on its ease of delivery) is not the Census Bureau (which uses a different methodology). So those sources are irrelevant. Likewise, Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and cannot be used for that purpose. TEDickey (talk) 00:02, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Repeatedly adding sources which are known to be irrelevant is a form of vandalism. The statement in discussion is whether South Riding is no longer a CDP but has become subsumed into Chantilly. TEDickey (talk) 00:49, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Furthermore, making personal attacks on my talk page is not a way to demonstrate that you have addressed any of the article concerns. TEDickey (talk) 12:11, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

South Riding

None of the links used as sources for the comment about South Riding are plausible; more than one additionally fails verification TEDickey (talk) 12:35, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
