Suggested addition to the Fred Rogers Page

[edit]

Beginning in 2002 and continuing until it was moved to Latrobe in October of 2015, the Monroeville Mall (located outside Pittsburgh, Pa.) had a play area specifically designed for younger children (specifically, all of the play equipment and the decoration is designed to be safe for children under 7 or so. This is different from the usual play areas that are often dangerous for younger children.) called Mister Roger's Neighborhood. It was always popular and well used by the patrons of the mall and was truly a refuge for harried parents with young children. In as much as it was a tangible and practical tribute to Fred Rogers, it should be mentioned in an article about him. 2601:545:8000:CC0:AC4E:AB13:3CB8:F8A0 (talk) 04:43, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2601:545:8000:CC0:AC4E:AB13:3CB8:F8A0, this is a fine idea, but it needs a reliable source before we can include it. If you find it, I can help with putting the info in Rogers' bio. I also suggest that you find a username and register for a Wikipedia account. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 21:43, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Emigrate or immigrate?

[edit]

The article says: “Through an ancestor who immigrated from Germany to the U.S…”; I think that that should be, “Through an ancestor who emigrated from Germany to the U.S…” or, “Through an ancestor who immigrated to the U.S from Germany…” - but have left it alone for now, as I don’t know if that’s a difference between U.S. and British English.

You make a good point. Based on several online sources I could find, including this one, this should probably be changed to "emigrated from..." From the linked article:
  • Immigrate means to live in a country that is not your country of origin. It is often used with to.
  • Emigrate means to leave your country of origin and live someplace else. It is often used with from.
