Location

[edit]

The location map can't possibly be correct: Bel Air is located in the Port-au-Prince Arrondissement, that is, in the Ouest department, thus not in the Sud department, as is shown on the map. Belgian man (talk) 17:14, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ti Chery

[edit]

Can someone clarify the photo caption “Ti Chery, Bel Air”, added by Dr. Blofeld? —LLarson (said & done) 00:18, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Aliceba, Savvyjack23, and Dr. Blofeld: Can I get some help understanding what Ti Chery means in the photo caption in this article? I appreciate it. —LLarson (said & done) 00:19, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea. Savvyjack23 (talk) 00:55, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds like it may be a neighborhood (community). [1] Savvyjack23 (talk) 00:57, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Savvyjack23 and Dr. Blofeld:I second Savvyjack23's assessment. Sounds like a neighborhood. Aliceba (talk) 10:15, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps Ssven2 or We hope could find the web archive url for the photo link and see the original page. I believe it is a neighbourhood/subdistrict of Bel Air, yup.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:18, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I feel We hope can handle it better than me as I'm not familiar with the topic. Thanks.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 11:28, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Chéry is also a common last name in Haiti. This neighborhood may have been named after a person. "Ti" means "little". --- Aliceba (talk) 11:40, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK-the link to the page for the photo needs to be changed at Commons as the present one is dead. Here's a valid one from Wayback Machine:

link for photo

From the page the photo was on: Residents of the Ti Chery neighborhood of Bel Air (above and below) work to clean up the community. HTH! We hope (talk) 13:07, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Savvyjack23, Aliceba, Dr. Blofeld, Ssven2, and We hope: Hooray. Mèsi anpil ! —LLarson (said & done) 13:58, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

One-sided

[edit]

I'm a little dismayed that a whole article can be written on this neighborhood, reducing it to statistics about "crime" and ignoring its long history or its artistic community. I just added a bit about its actual history for that reason. Aliceba (talk) 10:44, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and a lot of these pages are. My guess is that after the earthquake, there might have been a bit more activity in regards to Haiti in general but highlighting the negatives. Savvyjack23 (talk) 14:27, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately that's the way it is. Afghanistan and Iraqi districts and villages suffer from the same bias. Otherwise these places wouldn't be documented much in English.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:09, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
