Talk:Huntington, New York

message: Could "Notable residents" please be divided into "Current", "Former", and "Deceased". For example, I see that Walter Whitman (died 1892) is currently listed as a "Notable resident", though not in the subdivision "Former". -- 201.17.36.246 (talk) 21:56, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

text: I reverted the change back, and referenced Wood's book (which is available online). There was a brief settlement in 1640, whom the Dutch chased off soon after (since they were squatters). The town founding dates to 1653 as that is when the deed was legally obtained from the Indians, and the first permanent settlement started.--Dtolman (talk) 13:34, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm a Huntington native and noticed there were some inconsistencies in the residents section. While I'm sure the person(s) who added Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were excited to do so, they did not ever reside within the Town of Huntington. They stayed for a short time in Oyster Bay, which is a neighboring but separate township on Long Island. John Lennon was listed as living in Laurel Hollow, which is also in Oyster Bay, not Huntington. I also added Jets defensive end Mark Gastineau, who had a place on a court overlooking the harbor in the 1980s (my buddy was his neighbor). I will be checking more entries for accuracy soon.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexandermoir (talk • contribs) 14:18, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Why is Marlene Dietrich listed as a notable resident of Huntington, New York, but her Wikipedia article nowhere mentions Huntington, New York? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 01:07, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: This seems to be real and not vandalism, though the source is no longer accessible.  A quick bit of Googling turned up this which indicates it's not made-up. I think it should have a better source, if possible. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 01:52, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

message: I have removed entries in the In popular culture section that listed various points in Huntington as filming locations. Unless the film or TV series specifically mentions the location as being in Huntington, the use of the location does not constitute a cultural reference. It just means the producers found a convenient location that had a look they needed for their shot. For example, Royal Pains is a series set in the Hamptons. The fact that they used a Huntington beach to stand in for a Hamptons beach might just mean that it was easier for them to get filming permits in Huntington than in the Hamptons. Unless the episode specifically mentioned the West Neck location, it is not relevant. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:29, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
