rutland is also called rutvegas by all the small town southern vermonters because of its bright lights and big city atmosphere

Rutland is called Rutvegas as a joke. There are limited bright lights and it does not have, by any stretch of the imagination, a "big city atmosphere".

[edit] To change the article name

I propose that this article be renamed to "Rutland (city), Vermont". The name of the city is Rutland, not Rutland City. Every time I run across this article, I have to think for a moment, "Which is it, Rutland or Rutland City?" It's not like Ellicott City, Maryland, or Phenix City, Alabama, or any of several other places with the word "city" actually in their name. The format of "name (city)" is already used for St. Albans and Newport, Vermont, and "name (town)" is very common, especially across upstate New York. I also see that "Rutland (city), Vermont" already exists as a redirect. If no one objects, I'll change it next week. Ken Gallager 19:24, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem here. Rutland (city) is almost always referred to simply as "Rutland". Rutland (town), Vermont however, is called "Rutland Town". But that's another issue. Alcarillo 02:15, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
I've made a formal move request, because it turns out that Rutland (city), Vermont has an edit history. Ken Gallager 16:26, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable inhabitants

Can any of this be sourced? Mia Farrow seems unlikely to live in Rutland VT. Meta-Physician 05:40, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geo city

The "geo city" infobox seems to be causing display problems. Tried to use something else but messed up box so left it the way it was.Student7 (talk) 01:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Simple solution: delete the coords in the box. The normal {{Infobox Settlement}} doesn't conflict with coords in the text, but this type of infobox is weird and I don't understand it well. Perhaps it can be made to work properly with coords in the text, but if so I don't know how to fix it. Nyttend (talk) 23:35, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. Student7 (talk) 01:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

How do we shrink the size of the picture? Suddenly, it's displaying at entire screenwidth size, despite all I can do. Nyttend (talk) 12:08, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
