Coverage of clock in Jeffersonville, IN

Since the earlier version of the Colgate Clock is also a major attraction, and since it would seem a separate article for that is unjustified, I just want to note that coverage of the earlier version (which still runs to this day) should be beefed up in here, as well as the article in general.

• And I think greater distinction needs to be made between the Jersey city and Jeffersonville versions. The way article is written now, one could confuse the two.UnseemlyWeasel 15:15, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I have a picture of the Jeffersonville one when it was the Indiana Reformatory. That might make it worth splitting the two into separate articles, for many of the reasons Weasel cites.--Bedford 03:27, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

If it helps for clarity purposes, I say go ahead and split. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 03:31, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't mean necessarily split the two, more along the lines of a section for the Jersey City Clock and a section for the Jeffersonville clock within the same article, of course since the J'ville one is older it should come first ;-p UnseemlyWeasel 04:42, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I bet the Jersey City people would be upset, though, if the Jeffersonville one came first, thus a rationale for a separate article, or at least discussing the Jeffersonville clock secondarily. The one in Jersey City, after all, is considered the most current Colgate Clock, where Jeffersonville has the old version, or relic, if you will. :) Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 04:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

How about using the articel "Colgate Clock" as a disambigation page, and create two new pages: "Colgate Clock (Jersey)" and "Colgate Clock (Jeffersonville)"?--Bedford 13:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

That may work. Although the first should be "Colgate Clock (Jersey City)". Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 14:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I also agree with creating a disambiguation page. Adamkik 08:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Would it be appropriate to remove the link to the Indiana Colgate Clock article at the bottom of this article in the see also section? After all, it is already linked, and more prominently, at the top due to the disambiguation template. Seems like a no-brainer to me, but I've been away from Wikipedia too long to be confident in my grasp of the accepted practices. D. G. 08:07, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

The link at the top has since been removed, correctly, so the link in the see also section now makes sense. 69.95.175.236 (talk) 21:51, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

The clock was maintained by John A. Winters from the 1930s until his retirement in 1976.

Is there no reference to this? My great grandfather maintained the time on this clock, I do not know about the mechanical maintenance. His name was not John A winters. 2602:306:CD1E:88D0:4C36:5F5C:3985:2B6E (talk) 10:59, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
