thread_title: Pronunciation

message: In march, the lithuanian user sol505000 changed the german IPA-pronounciation from  to , stating "incorrect IPA - the nasal is alveolar only when the schwa is sounded, syllabic nasals assimilate to the preceding stops". That may be theoreticly correct, but isn't so in reality. As a native speaker of German, who has worked and travelled his life in all parts of german speaking countries, in high german I've seldom heard  (lips closed after the last sound) and most often  (lips slightly open after the last sound). So I disagree with the statement quoted above, and would say that the original german IPA-pronounciation was right - I admit that the difference is small, and that in some cases of mumbling pronunciation also  can heard, but nevertheless there's no need to call a mumbling pronunciation the regular one (or many, many IPA-pronounciations have to be adapted...).

But, per the county's own contact info, they use the Lake George ZIP code.When the county was created in 1813, Lake George was purposely chosen as the county seat due to its centrality (Glens Falls wasn't really in existence yet). The Old Warren County Courthouse Complex, which I just created, is within the village of Lake George (not created for another 90 years after the county itself, but then home to the courthouse and county government until 1963).

Talk:Wayne County, New York

message: The description of the numerous subdividings of the original Albany County ultimately into Wayne has been extensively reduced. Although very interesting, the detail seems more appropriate as a subpage or a section of History of New York State. I will look for an opportunity to add it to that article, thus preserving someone's interesting work.
Also, I simplified the description of Anthony Wayne. He was honored more for his Revolutionary War accomplishments and his subsequent political career than his Northwest Indian War efforts. Also, the resulting treaties with the Native Americans appear to focus more on territories west of New York, so I coudln't find confirmation of the statement that the Treaty of Greenville helped form New York state. More information is welcome, however.

thread_title:  "Bushels"? 

message: Modern historians concede that LaSalle explored the region around the Great Lakes, but they do not allow that he ever found the headwaters of the Allegheny below Lake Erie, or entered the Ohio Valley. The French claims to the Ohio Valley rest on Charles III Le Moyne Baron de Longueuil's 1739 expedition and Celoron's 1749 expedition.  History section also fails to mention British Dutchman Arnout Viele's 1692 navigation of the Allegheny and Ohio from the upper Allegheny all the way to the Mississippi, though he never disembarked at the forks. Also, before Duquesne, starting sometime in the 1740's was William Trent's British trading post at the Forks. Also worthy of mention was Colonel Abraham Wood's exploration of the Monongahela 1654-1664. There's a lot of speculative history there (need good sources).
