# Talk:Port of Albany–Rensselaer

"As a general rule, in the body of an article, single-digit whole numbers from zero to nine are spelled out in words; numbers greater than nine are commonly rendered in numerals" and "Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes or articles, or put a comma between month and year. 
Incorrect:    February 14th, 14th February, the 14th of February 
Correct: 14 February, February 14 
Incorrect: October, 1976

direct quotes from wikipedia:manual of style, this is why I reverted the good faith changes by Ipatrol. A class B or GA article needs to conform generally to the manual of style.Camelbinky (talk) 00:52, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

### Other notes
There seems to be a problem with the Times Union website right now (Jan. 16th), but as soon as I am able to get on the Times Union website I will see about changing the citation links to more permanent ones, right now they go to an error. It is possible this is related to the TU website itself being down and not something permanent.Camelbinky (talk) 01:53, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Apparently the reference links for Times Union articles were not dead links, it was the TU website itself that was down. All links now work and confirmation was given that it was the website that was down for 48 hours in an article in the Times Union today (1-18-2009). Links should be just fine for the forseeble future. Camelbinky (talk) 19:26, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, that's bizarre. The links work now, and I have restored the links that I had removed.  I have finished cleaning up the references to the best of my ability: if no author is listed, it's because I didn't find one or because the reference is to a collective work, for example the department of transportation or a consulting firm.

I have reason to be skeptical of the tonnage and ranking of the Port of Albany in the opening section (says its the 66th busiest port in the nation). I am the one who put in those facts and that reference, since the source was the same source used in the List of ports in the United States and it was supposedly from the American Association of Port Authorities, I figured it was legitimate. However, I have since found many sources (including the Albany Port District Commission) all having sharing the same numbers that are much, much lower than those of the AAPA. I thought perhaps its just a conversion problem of short tons vs long tons vs metric tonnes, did the calculations and its not that one is in one form and another is in another form. I have gone to the AAPA website but since I dont seem to have the right program installed on my computer I am unable to see the original table straight from the website. I am confident that Albany remains the second busiest port in the state (Albany's new numbers still are higher than those that the Buffalo port's owner posts on its website, the only other port I can think of that could claim number two). I am going to remove the iffy information until I can clear up the confusion. If anyone is able to go to the AAPA website and view the statistics for cargo tonnage and see what they get it would be useful.Camelbinky (talk) 22:19, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
