or a disambiguation page.  I don't know how to make one or I would do it.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.226.171.6 (talk) 21:55, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Though I see their website is promoting "New York's Village Halloween Parade", as if noone west of the Hudson has heard of Greenwich Village, isn't the parade usually just called the "Greenwich Village Halloween Parade"?--Pharos 04:59, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  Oddly, research indicates that the article is titled correctly.  http://www.halloween-nyc.com/index.php.  You learn something new every day. —Nricardo (talk) 03:20, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article does need to be renamed. But that's the least of its problems. ScottyBerg (talk) 16:38, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name of article 

message: I removed the following from the "annual theme" section; although it is well-written, it is not encyclopedic.
"The city was broken-hearted and in disbelief. Scheduled fifty days after the attack, the march known for its variety of corpses, caskets, headstones and blood became unthinkable. Horrified and grief-stricken New Yorkers continued to sift through the smoldering rubble of the World Trade Center, pulling human remains out of the "pile" of steel and dust. No one knew when the fire would stop burning. Everywhere, city streetcorners, buildings, subways and train stations were littered with tens of thousands of missing posters placed by desperate families, friends, and coworkers searching for thousands of loved ones lost in the collapse. Funerals were taking place across the city, and the newspapers were full of obituaries.
On October 31, audiences lined Sixth Avenue and looked south towards Lower Manhattan, as they had for years, to watch the oncoming parade. "It was the first chance many New Yorkers had for a joyous mass gathering post 911, and to say to ourselves and the world, that we are still alive and kicking," wrote resident Alec Bennett. As they watched for a first glimpse of the new lead puppet, they saw smoke in the distance, rising from "the pile." The smoke was visible through a conspicuous new gap in the skyline, where audiences had seen the twin towers from the entire length of the parade route every year before (see above photo). Then the Phoenix came into view, as a fragile, incandescent, red-orange baby bird."

message: article states "and a world-wide television audience of one hundred million."
is this for real?  one can't even find it on comcast cable in suburban NJ.
perhaps it's clipped on news programs around the world, but i doubt the actual parade is carried (as it is on NY1 in nyc).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.7.103 (talk) 13:53, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Tone and references

message: Along with Lee, Bartenieff, and Field, the late playwright Mitchell Redman deserves credit for the creation of that first Greenwich Village Halloween Parade. Mitchell was the Production Manager and was responsible for many of the details and special effects associated with the parade. Perhaps reconfirm with wife Jayne Connell (jaynenews@aol.com) or Lee, a (terrific) puppeter: http://mettawee.org/wordpress/  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.102.172.83 (talk) 12:54, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
