message: The web page A Raven from Laurelton: Growing up Madoff lists Madoff as growing up at 139-54 228th St. in Laurelton, Queens, traveling to Far Rockaway High School by LIRR. Therefore, I am removing him from the list of famous residents. --PloniAlmoni (talk) 11:58, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

message: This edit to the article for Far Rockaway, Queens did a lot more than "Add Mary Gordon". Were the extensive other changes deliberate enhancements to the article? The link to Mary Gordon is a disambiguation page and there is no source here or in the article for the writer. Do you have a source to connect her to Far Rockaway?

replies: text: Thanks for noticing that I missed the dab for Mary Gordon (writer); I'm still working on this. Yes, there is a source for her being born in Far Rockaway; it is the first sentence of the biographical section of the WP article on her: "Mary Gordon was born in Far Rockaway, New York, to Anna (Gagliano) Gordon, an Irish-Italian Catholic mother, and David Gordon, a Jewish father, who had converted to Catholicism before his marriage.Mary Gordon, The Shadow Man And yes, I am working on the article to improve it. Please give me a chance to continue before you revert again.Parkwells (talk) 22:23, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This source added for Gordon makes no mention of Far Rockaway. Do you have a source to establish her connection to Far Rockaway? Alansohn (talk) 18:43, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Chan did mention her Irish-Italian mother and Jewish father, which is what I was originally looking for. Found a 1997 Ploughshares article that identifies Far Rockaway as her birthplace and added it as source and cite.Parkwells (talk) 19:08, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

message: Far Rockaway has quite a history. Not having a wikipedia article is not a reason to delete, especially if the deletion includes deleting sources too. Pi314m (talk) 12:03, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , Yes, not a directory, but two stages of Jewish presence are Young Israel and Aguda. YI Wavecrest/Bayswater is there more than just one or two decades. These four (2 YI, 2 Aguda) are not just DIRECTORY, their presence is information. As for the schools, the public schools' citations are just confirmation from NYC Ed Dept.

replies: text: , there are sources available to write about the Jewish / Orthodox community in Far Rockaway and its early development, decline in the 1960s and resurgence in recent decades, but this isn't it. The White Shul is nearly 100 years old and the Jewish community is older than that. Shaaray Tefila, now in Lawrence, was a major institution in Far Rockaway led by Rabbi Walter Wurzburger and there's no mention of it. This isn't encyclopedic. This isn't about the history of the Jewish community, it's a laundry list of synagogues and yeshivas that exist now or in the past few decades.  Alansohn (talk) 13:06, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
