I really dislike doing this, but see no option at this point. From the page logs, I see that this has been going on for months now.

message: I removed this section for so many reasons.  Most importantly was the complete lack of sources for any presented information.  Also on the list of reasons: almost unintelligible grammar, NPOV.--Prk6 (talk) 22:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

message: No one outside of New York knows about Gerritsen Beach. And I always heard the people were inbred there. I ofcourse believe that's an exaggeration, but the area is known for being weird or odd. I know you guys are protecting your reputation. And yes I am from New York. If the neighborhood has a colorful history why not note it? New York is full of odd places, who cares what people think?
P.S. 
What led me to this article was reading about Anthony Weiner. I could not help but notice every neighborhood listed in that article had a wikipedia entry. It's just odd to me.Those places are largely unknown outside of New York. I'm a lifelong New Yorker and I got the dying accent to prove it, and I think New Yorkers need to get over themselves sometimes. Later. 96.250.83.177 (talk) 06:24, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
