Long Island Sound
Added very basic section about Long Island Sound.
LIS is an important part of life in CT. Someone keeps deleting it for some reason. 2601:19E:4381:5250:59FA:1220:5A50:6F6F (talk) 03:20, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
- It's being deleted because you declined to provide any citations. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 23:29, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
- What citations are needed? Do we really need to confirm Long Island Sound exsists or has fish in it? 2601:19E:4381:5250:A8F8:50FE:AA0:574A (talk) 12:24, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
- Here are sources for what was written in the brief LIS section:
- https://soundwaters.org/long-island-sound-facts/
- https://lispartnership.org/
- Also...there is already a Wiki page about LIS:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island_Sound
- How much more basic can it be? 2601:19E:4381:5250:A8F8:50FE:AA0:574A (talk) 12:49, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
- This article is about the U.S. state of Connecticut. Long Island Sound is a different article. You know that, given you've linked said article in your repeated re-additions of this off-topic material. Many places are important to many other places, that doesn't make them the same topic.

- I think you’re missing the point?
- Right above it there is a link to a separate article “Floria of Connecticut” …yet there is still some basic information about this topic include on the CT page. This occurs thought the CT page? Why is a section on Long Island Sound so different?
- Long Island Sound is the center of everything in Connecticut, its history, its recreation, it’s most populated corridor…etc. It’s ridiculous that a basic paragraph or two of information can’t be included.
- There is another example of why Wiki is failing fast as an information source. Each page now has an agenda or bias to what is included in pages and what is not.
- I'll direct my students to better information sources. 2601:19E:4381:5250:E84A:211E:49CA:95CA (talk) 13:09, 3 August 2025 (UTC)
- So much hand wringing over being asked to source your edits. Rules that everyone on this website is expected to follow. I hope you don't tell your students it's ok to write papers with zero sources. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 13:40, 3 August 2025 (UTC)
- The sources are above. I have no idea how to do that. Why not just return the paragraph and insert the sources?
- How much more simple can it be? 2601:19E:4381:5250:E84A:211E:49CA:95CA (talk) 12:28, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
- I wasn't missing the point, I'm just nominally conscious about what is on-topic and what is off-topic, and how to coherently structure encyclopedia articles. (Flora of Connecticut is clearly a subtopic of Connecticut, while Long Island Sound is clearly not a subtopic of Connecticut.) I don't know how else to explain this basic notion if you're no closer to understanding, unfortunately. Remsense 🌈 论 12:34, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
- Maybe try WP:SUMMARYSTYLE, our guideline that sheds some light on how we structure "parent" articles like this one based on summarizing what we consider "child" articles. I guess it's worth a shot to provide that resource in case you care to engage with it – but fair warning, if you're only willing to double down on characterizations like those you made above, then there isn't anything left to discuss.
