[edit] Confusing sentence

Nice article, but I am a bit confused by "differs significantly from other borough forms of government used in the New York City area and elsewhere". There are other forms of borough government in NYC? That doesn't make sense to me. Does it mean the greater NYC area? --W.marsh 18:53, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the awkward and ambiguous sentence. It was reworded to refer to the surrounding Tri-State Region, where there are forms of boroughs in New Jersey, Connecticut and in Pennsylvania. Alansohn 14:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Good Article, overall. I am especially a fan of the map showing the five borough. Perhaps a definition of borough and its origin (etymology) might be a good addition?

That sort of thing is more suited for the more general article, Borough. — Larry V (talk) 18:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Should add a bit more

I am from NYC, particularly Staten Island, and thought that there should be a bit more added. Maybe include slight info on each borough? Talk about how the government is slightly different from the rest of the NYC area? SKREAM 02:43, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
