message: I thought it was important to include that along with 40,000 new residents that are expected to come to Greenpoint, noone is really aware of the enviornmental hazard the oil spilling into the Newtown Creek will have on them. 	 
::You must be joking. Biased and inappropriate - perhaps. Inaccurate and misleading - not a chance.
FACT VS FICTION
The oil spill is a twenty year old story, and since Williamsburg, Brooklyn has a much higher cancer rate than Greenpoint according to the NYC Dept. of Health (see health section above for reference), I guess the new residents know exactly why they are moving to Greenpoint. It's funny how that oil spill story popped up again after all these years, just when the neighborhood was rezoned and redevelopment has started. Very Curious.Greenpoint 14:36, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Also the family poverty rate is 25% higher than the rest of the country at 12.8% compared to 9.2% nationally.  The individual poverty rate is nearly 50% higher than the national average.--Paraphelion 19:00, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I wrote that the Polish rap/hip hop group Podziemny Legion call Greenpoint home in the "Notable individuals..." paragraph. Should it stay there or be put in the Trivia section? Same question applies to Joell Ortiz. Ogreatwiki 01:38, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  where to put in who Greenpoint is home to 

message: Joell Ortiz is notable enough for mention. He meets the criteria in WP:MUSIC, which is why he has his own long article. Sylvain1972 18:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Can something be done about the secret editor who keeps removing the Greenpoint Avenue pictures?  Jim.henderson (talk) 05:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps the secret editor hasn't visited the place and looked at the tanks, but that wouldn't be a problem, since they are visible from as far as, for example, Pulaski Bridge.  I can only conclude that the anonymous vandal is farther away, and unfamiliar with Brooklyn.  Jim.henderson (talk) 07:06, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

text: So, at first the secret vandal denied that the tanks are in Greenpoint.  Then he denied they exist.  Then he pretended that the photo was false.  Now he's denying that the tanks are an impressive sight and visible from miles away, perhaps because they are not visible from a foreign country.  Is there no end to silly excuses for vandalism?  Jim.henderson (talk) 17:05, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe those are fuel tanks. There were some big natural gas tanks over on Kingsland Avenue, but they were destroyed a couple years ago. You can see their ghosts on this map:  MMZach (talk) 14:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Why we have to separate people by colour or place they were born? We are all human beings try to live our life and hope we did all the best we could for the younger generation. We ( not necessarily me) finish slavery, thank you. "We" survive couple off wars, with some help from other countries ( don't forget about it). Why we can't make our and younger generation life easier. Stop judging people and help each other.
