Talk:Clarence
- Swept in from the pub
I created a disambig page for this name and changed the name of the undisambiguated Clarence article to Clarence (New York), because there is now the merest beginning of a Clarence (Louisiana) article. I think I may have made a mistake, and what's more, there are umpteen thousand links that would have to be changed. Sorry, everyone, I'm tired and can't deal with this right now, but maybe, instead of changing all the links, we should revert the article about the presumably much larger suburban town in New York to an undisambiguated name and just add a link to "Other uses" at the top of that guide, then revert the few link edits I made. I'm asking some of you to pick up the slack for me on this, please. Thanks in advance.
All the best,

- Ikan, Wikipedia gives the 2010 population of Clarence, NY as ~30K, which is less than the probably better known City of Clarence, in Tasmania. Clarence, NSW could conceivably also become a Wikivoyage destination, being a terminus of the touristy Lithgow Zig Zag rail line. So, yes, I think disambiguating was appropriate. By my count (not including user or talk pages) Clarence has about 24 incoming links, not insurmountable. I don't have time to do this right now but can perhaps tackle it tomorrow, if nobody else gets to it first. Thanks. Peter Chastain (talk) 11:52, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- OK. We'll take care of the links one by one, then. I wish there were a bot that could be set to change all links of a type at once... Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:02, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Ontario used to have two quite small towns called Clarence and Clarence Creek, now I think both merged into w:Clarence-Rockland. Pashley (talk) 14:43, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
