It's probably best to not change the images in the infobox unless you truly do have a superior one, anyway (if it's not, other editors may decide to revert it). The best bet is to link to the image here on the Talk page and see what other editors think. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 17:55, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

The Price Hill neighborhood is actually the most populated neighborhood in Cincinnati proper. 2600:1009:B17D:8CE8:C1FD:8B28:BC9B:9FAC (talk) 16:29, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

"The Queen City of the West"

Is there consensus to strike "The Queen City of the West" from the official nickname list in favor of "Queen of the West"? Speaking personally, I have never heard it worded like the former. It's always been either Queen of the West (as it appears in the original poem that gave rise to these regal titles) or The Queen City (as it is more commonly styled in recent years).

Queen of the West [in her garlands dressed], in its original context, casts Cincinnati as the foremost metropolis of the [interior of the] [New] World.

Often, modern residents will abbreviate the title to The Queen City, but this title is actually the longer-standing nickname of America's oldest (major) city named after a queen, Charlotte (NC). Still, though, the latter should remain on Cincinnati's page as well if only for its widespread usage across the region.

But styling Cincinnati as The Queen City of the West not only completely ignores the way most people from this city (including all local news and culture outlets) refer to the nickname, but furthermore implies that Cincinnati has some kind of historic association to Charlotte, if only by some comparison... As if Cincinnati was the Charlotte of the Western States, which has absolutely no historical basis I can locate whatsoever. What is evident, however, is that there is a superficial rivalry between the two cities as to which is the "better" of the two... Still, I've never heard Charlotte called "The Queen City of the East", but I'm not nearly familiar with that city to argue whether or not it would be appropriate. Bottom line: these two cities are neither counterparts, nor parent-and-child. OyoEtErié (talk) 05:25, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
