Talk:Bergen Beach, Brooklyn

message: have noted area which does not appear to be part of the neighborhoods of canarsie or mill basin or flatlands. epodunk has a description but is not explicitly written. and unfortunately i am not specifically familiar with this neighborhood. if you are, then feel free to go ahead and put this up. also, the name of the western waterway boundary (traveling north in the description below) -is that West Mill Basin? below is my attempt to define the boundaries:
Boundaries of Bergen Beach, Brooklyn, NY
Bergen Beach has an irregular shaped boundary. Starting at its northernmost point at the intersection of Ralph Ave and Flatlands Ave, its boundary leads southeast along East Mill Basin (parallel to Bergen Ave), then west along Avenue Y (its southernmost border), turning north along another (name unknown) Basin and continuing north along East 68th Street, turning west along Veterans Ave continuing into Avenue N, and finally north along Ralph Avenue back to the starting point.

* The comic panel "Art's Gallery" still is mentioned, but the dates conflict with those in the stub article created for the comic. That article says 1965-77, while this one says 1962-81. Could these be reconciled?

thread_title:  Text 

message: The article needs some serious revision; it reads like something written by a high school freshman.  My main problem is this section under "Plot": 
"On her way home, a typical Sunday would involve the purchase of cake at the bakery, but instead she went home into her own dark room. As she quickly put her fur back in its box, she hears a cry, this cry is Miss Brill. The reason why the story says, "she thinks she hears a cry"[7] is because Miss Brill does not want to accept that she is the one crying, or accept herself for that matter. Mansfield's personification throughout the passage reveals a sense of loneliness belonging to Miss Brill for she not only fabricates a connection with the other park goers, but also personifies her inanimate piece of clothing by conversing with it as well as feeling for it."  
Structures like "the reason is because" and plain grammatical mistakes are distracting and incorrect.  I am afraid any revisions I make will be reversed; an experienced editor needs to go through and edit it for encyclopedic style.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.252.81.77 (talk) 03:26, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
