Should I add neighborhoods, or is there simply not enough info now? I mean, if New Haven gets a great article, so should Hartford. 64.252.113.127 07:48, 19 December 2011 (EST)

You can list the neighborhoods of Hartford, but please don't create separate articles for them. There's hardly any content to put in them right now. Our focus for the time being should be on getting this article to have enough information that splitting into districts becomes necessary. (WT-en) LtPowers 20:46, 19 December 2011 (EST)

@Ikan Kekek, SelfieCity, LPfi:. No permission. Removing? SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 23:05, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Replaced; also added image of state capitol. There are too few images on this page; if anyone reading is a good photographer, please take some attractive or interesting photos of Hartford and upload them to Wikimedia Commons. Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:12, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Zoom in map?[edit]

I think it's a much better idea to zoom in so that individual attractions within the city limits are visible and the airport is not, but I see no zoom level on the map, so I don't know how to set a new default zoom level. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:05, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
