message: Why?  Why should the pre 1776 sections go to the larger New York State article instead of this smaller one?  Jim.henderson (talk) 23:02, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Provincial mergers

message: The topic of loyalists is now covered twice in the article - just a few paragraphs apart from each other. NEITHER has any citations. Reading the article you'd think there was little history to the state except the history of loyalists & Indians during the revolution --JimWae (talk) 04:31, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Two sections have subsections 

message: Just finished a major copyedit based on a request to the Guild of copy editors. A couple of points:
* The topics seem somewhat random. E.g., Koch is mentioned but not LaGuardia.
* I clarified the organization but grouping the subsections into larger sections seems like a good idea.
* I'd like to see a more complete explanation of the "increased bigotry" point. I don't have the reference material, but the point does not clarify whether it's talking about public opinion, hate crimes, etc. If it's (generally volatile) opinion, I'd suggest this isn't the place for it.

message: Is it legally possible to discover in 1524 (French), and claim in 1609 (Dutch) rights for a part of a land, in this case New York as a part of the American continent, America being discovered as a whole in 1492 by another nation? -The issue may have deep consequences in the legal background for some historical facts, even when president Bush II said that he had no idea about what international law can be, and promised to ask his lawyer about this. In questions about legal rights, you just can't go Dutch.--Jgrosay (talk) 14:11, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

message: If you know New York State history you may have heard of Robert Harpur, who is responsible for most of the classical place names in central New York State: Cicero, Homer, Ovid, Virgil, Brutus, Manlius, and many others.
I created :Category:Classical place names in New York (state). I thought that someone looking at say, Cicero, New York, might learn something useful from the category listing at the bottom, and it would be useful to have them all in one place.
Now, howevet, this category has been proposed for deletion. I would appreciate support from anyone who thinks it is useful. The discussion is here: []. Thanks for any help. deisenbe (talk) 14:39, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: @Deisenbe  What was the outcome of your defense of the category deletions? Also, there's no mention in the article of Robert Harpur, whom you discuss here, as being responsible for the naming of a number of place names in New York State. Shouldn't you add him and his contributions to the article? I assume that you have references to add support to your contention. Did you ever include this information in the article?

replies: text: It was deleted. All that stuff was in the article on Harpur, someone took it out. deisenbe (talk) 17:56, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
