[edit] Yonkers is NOT the largest city in Nassau
Yonkers is not the largest city in Nassau...Yonkers isn't even on Long Island! If you click the link you will notice that Yonkers is north of the Bronx. I would change it myself, but I can't figure out how.
- I know. To fix it up, you need to click here : Template:Nassau County, New York/InfoboxRevas 06:25, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Uh, might have messed up...
I made the geography section in to links, then realised it was done further down the page. Uh...I'm new and confused. Yea.
[edit] Town of Hempstead Villages
Aren't Oceanside and Baldwin both part of the Town of Hempstead? Janni 04:02, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Seacliff & hamlets
According to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/NY-LONGISLAND/2006-04/1143945863 ALL of Seacliff is within the Village of Seacliff. Someone today has made edits otherwise. Is there ANY source for the change? --JimWae 19:36, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Also North Shore School District mentions only the Village of Seacliff --JimWae 20:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Any sources for Seaford now? You are aware village has a specific definition? --JimWae 20:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
As unincorporated "hamlets", these places (and all hamlets in NY) have no legal existence - they are just friendly names. If they are unincorported, they are governed completely by the town (& county & state & fed) gov'ts. School boards are legally established, post offices are notoriously inexact in their use of names. School boards & post office services have legal boundaries, but the hamlets do not. -- --JimWae 22:05, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I'd be more than happy to defend my claim. Several sections that are located within Massapequa have a Seaford zip code. And there are certain regions on the north shore, not in the village of Sea Cliff, that have a Sea Cliff zip code. Stanley011 23:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Upon reading your link, I realize the original way i entered the information is incorrect. There should be included a footnote, or a statement below the list with an explanation of the postal zone information. Good call. Stanley011 23:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
