message: There are individuals in New Square who identify with other groups, such as Belz, Viznitz, Rachmestrivk, Klausenberg, among many others. However, those individuals do not constitute groups. There are currently no *groups* of those chasidim that identify as such.
In years past, the Rachmestrivka Rebbe lived there and gained a following among some residents. The subsequent friction, which intensified after his father Reb Zusha passed away—manifested in acts of thuggerry committed with tacit approval of the Skver establishment— resulted in his move to Borough Park, and there has been no Rachmestrivk presence in New Square since that merits mention. 
The New Square community does not allow any sub-groups to form that would undermine the homogenity of Skver. It is for that reason that no other schools, synagogues, or even private minyanim are allowed.

thread_title:  Info on Chernobyl/Rachmestrivk Incorrect 

message: The article statesmedian income for a family is $12,208. Males have a median income of $21,696 versus $29,375 for femalesHow is this possible? Doesn't a family contain at least one person who is either male or female? How does a family's income get to be lower than that of the people in it? (Please note: I have looked at demographics for other places, including Monsey, New York, Spring Valley, New York, and Brooklyn, New York, and in those cases, the family income is above that of the individuals, as is logical. But I must admit that in the demographics for Kiryas Joel, New York, family income is below that of the individuals.) --Keeves 02:22, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: US Census data doesn't take into account how much money a family spends.  Alexisr has the correct answer.  Male Median Income is derived from all males who work and Female Median Income is dervied from all females who work.  Family Median Income is dervied from all familes(families headed by those who work and families headed by those who are currently involved in schooling and study but do not yet work).  Therefore the number of families who devote the bulk of their time to study will have zero- or near zero-income and skew and family income. Chops79 18:40, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The artice has both spellings of the name. Which is correct in this context? I know that different branches of the family spell it differently. JoshuaZ 14:20, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Yiddish in New Square

message: I am going to address this blanket revert here: 
* The Piz d'Es-Cha version restores an error - the "Hebrew" supposedly of New Square is actually Yiddish! (Notice the article names for this in the Hebrew and Yiddish Wikipedias)
* The previous Clinton revision was not properly footnoted - Here in my version I have the proper references and page numbers.
* I have identified who made accusations and who said what
* In the Piz d'Es-Cha version there is no source referencing that the investigation was "dropped"
My revision should be restored, and then THAT should be worked upon. Also, generally it is a good idea to not use "controversy" sections - work the controversy throughout the article.

thread_title: Bill Clinton controversy and the blanket revert

message: There are some very confusing passages in the History section.  It often jumps around chronologically, is very vague, and sometimes contains outright non-sequiturs.  For instance:
One dozen people received welfare in 1975. In 1992 the village administrator said that in 1975 about two thirds of the families received food stamps and Medicaid.[6]
Two thirds of which families?  Was it one dozen people, or two thirds of the population?  To whom did the village administrator make the claim?  What is his/her name?
Can someone with some knowledge of New Square please clarify?--TremorMilo (talk) 04:27, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
