[edit] Old history (related to page move)

For a history before February 14, 2006, please see the history page of "Newtown, Connecticut, USA". Please follow the trend of every other town in the USA and keep this page at "Newtown (town), Connecticut". --└ Smith120bh/TALK ┐ 02:56, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page Move

The page name Newtown (town), Connecticut is not fit for ths article, it should be Newtown, Connecticut, USA due to the various "Newtowns" throught the world See: Newtown

Please refer to Wikipedia's official policy for city naming conventions: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (city names). Countries are not included in naming. Again, please do not move articles unless you are really sure that it should be. In general, article naming is based on precedent. Look at all of the other articles in Category:Towns in the United States - none of them include ", USA". Similarly, none of the other articles in Newtown include countries in their name. This page is the appropriate location for the content about the town of Newtown in the US state of Connecticut. --└ Smith120bh/TALK ┐ 02:51, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Newtown (town), Connecticut → Newtown, Connecticut — Towns are the primary local government unit in Connecticut. While the town center is separately incorporated as a borough, it is still subordinate to the town government. The town article deserves the principal name. --Polaron | Talk 05:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. Vegaswikian 06:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Borough

What's the difference between the borough and the town? Shouldn't the boro be bigger? --AW 21:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

In Connecticut, boroughs are sections of towns that are separately incorporated. They are municipalities located within a larger municipality (the town). See Borough (Connecticut) for additional information. --Polaron | Talk 21:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External links section

At some point, for some reason not given anywhere in the edit summaries (at least not that I can find), the External links section for this article disappeared. I'm adding it back with a link to the town school system, an obviously useful link. If there are any objections to that, please discuss them here. Noroton 17:47, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
