message: As a long time resident of Bay Shore...actually what is now considered West Bay Shore and seeing as there is an existing article for West Bay Shore, I would like to point out some factual errors contained in this article. Sagtikos Manor, the former Gardiner family home and the place where George Washington slept is in WEST Bay Shore. Why is Julia Gardiner Tyler listed as a notable resident when her family home was, in fact, in WEST Bay Shore and Sagtikos Manor is listed as an external link in this article. Mario Puzo was a permanent resided of WEST Bay Shore (Manor Lane and Montauk Hwy). (Why is he listed as a notable resident when he did not live, die or write his novels in Bay Shore). However, he did live, die and write in WEST Bay Shore.  Why does your Bay Shore article discuss the Gardiner Manor Mall and the Lowe's store and BMW dealership, when in fact it is WEST Bay Shore. Furthermore, South Country Road is not in Bay Shore, it is only South Country Road when passing thru Brightwaters and WEST Bay Shore. It is not South Country Road in Bay Shore at all.
 
These are only a few of the errors contained in this article. The above examples are not the only errors contained within.
I had made small additions and corrections to the article and they were reverted by some person who claims to know something about Bay Shore. However, this self proclaimed historian is in error and chooses to revert changes that he or she deems incorrect. Meanwhile, he or she allows erroneous information to remain within this article that is factually incorrect Please review your article and the facts listed above and either correct or choose to discuss them on the talk page. The fact that Bay Shore has its own article and North Bay Shore and West Bay Shore do as well does not change the fact that they all are within the same mailing address with the same zip code and same school district (only one JHS and SHS). 
When growing up in Bay Shore, it was all one town (regardless of CDP). IMHO, the three articles on NBS, WBS and BS should be combined and not splintered in order to keep within some bureaucratic idiotic decision to splinter to skew ethnicity and/or some census demographic data.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.32.55.37 (talk) 00:29, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: All the stats are per CDP. There is an article for every CDP on LI. An article needs to be clear when it is talking about the CDP and whne about the nebulous hamlet. "Hamlets" have no official status - CDPs, school districts, water districts, postal codes do. The first part of your post is a complaint about not distinguishing the 3 areas, then you propose not distinguishing them. What gives?--JimWae (talk) 01:30, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

text: See the North Bay Shore article for some really confusing stuff - North Bay Shore (the hamlet) is entirely south of North Bay Shore (the CDP)--JimWae (talk) 01:36, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

text: I have always left anything about history of the place virtually untouched - except I have added to the lede what it was the 300th anniversary of (which was not in the article at all when I added the tag about a year ago - btw, where have you been for the last year?). The geography issue is complex and I have added some info about the school district and the post office boundaries that you might like and could perhaps have added yourself since you claim to know so much better than I do. I am not from California, am not a novice, the CDPs are not determined by novices, and I resent your starting your reply with the word "asinine"--JimWae (talk) 07:41, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

text: Please see WP:NPA. If you persist, you will be blocked from editing. Stop ranting to me about the history section --- I have no idea who put that content there and, I repeat, have left it mostly untouched. Btw, I did not bother to read most of what you wrote above - I got the gist that there was lost of garbage & verbal abuse to come from the 1st  line. If you cannot work co-operatively, you can expect to get blocked from editing --JimWae (talk) 12:41, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

text: Well, that is an improvement over the last time -- HOWEVER you are still addressing me as if I were responsible for what the article says about the history. As I said, I have not touched the history section -- except perhaps in very minor ways. I think I very well know where I live, so stop talking about California. I lived on LI for over 20 years -- but less than 2 years in California. The article does not say the trains go TO Babylon and NYC, it says they go TOWARD those places - and OF COURSE there are usually other stops along the way - but it would be silly to list them all. Babylon is mentioned only because it is an important transfer point. Saying the trains go west toward NYC lets the non-NY reader in on just how far they go, and gives some directional details (as does saying they go east toward Montauk (and many do not go TO Montauk, but they still go TOWARD it.) --JimWae (talk) 07:03, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Changed "World War One" to "World War I" I hope no one minds as all historical references use roman numbers, Wikipedia included.

message: You left me a message telling me I was being disruptive and engaged in an edit war on Bay Shore NY article. You seem to be mistaken. I removed a title of the article of "healthcare" above two points... Bay Shore Brightwaters rescue ambulance and the former Southside Hospital now called something. Last time I checked the term healthcare refers to things such as insurance companies and medical providers. In my summary I stated such and you surmised I was correct and edited out the rescue ambulance part which has been there for ten years or more and reinserted the healthcare title. And I have to ask why and why are you not being constructive there and actually being disruptive and vandalistic. I then reverted your incorrect edit and you call me disruptive?
Then the article stated that some radio station and their call letters are licensed to serve Bay Shore NY. I deleted the nonsense when searching some sources and they stated the radio station is located in another Long Island town and mentioned nothing about Bay Shore whatsoever. You see that radio station addition is some commercial advertising of some type and makes absolutely no sense for its inclusion in the article Bay Shore, NY except for commercial promotion. Additionally, the radio station inclusion is a recent...very recent addition in the past 10 days or so.
Now I will guess you are an employee or intern working for the station and believe the station should be included on every Wikipedia article in the territory the station serves. that is a commercial purpose which Wikipedia does not look favorable on. I have to ask...have you declared your conflict of interest in this regard to Wikipedia, as you are required to do?2600:1700:7610:41E0:64B5:BA38:24B4:1343 (talk) 00:38, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
