The source of the name[edit]
As a newcomer in North Virginia, the name "frying pan" for a park or a farm strikes me as exteremely odd. I would like to know what is the source of this name. 141.156.98.2Ef, 10/10/07 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 18:46, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
The various cn-tags added to the topic are sourced properly on the linked topic which begins the paragraph. In fact, it goes more in depth, and is (in some places) fairly well-known, although somewhat more amusing than w-editors's appreciation for humor permits. TEDickey (talk) 23:30, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- It has never been acceptable in Wikipedia to say "See article x for the claims made in article y". Removal of my cn tags was improper. Just provide sources. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 23:32, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- It's always been acceptable style to make a synopsis of relevant material from a different topic to provide context for a wiki-link. Without that, there's no point in providing links (a point which is lost on random editors who paste large chunks from one topic to another - and usually are reverted) TEDickey (talk) 23:35, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Frying Pan Park versus Frying Pan Farm Park[edit]
The name of the park is "Frying Pan Farm Park" not "Frying Pan Park". Should the title of the article be corrected? Archer1234 (talk) 15:45, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
