Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 18:25, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Newburgh

edit

Prompted by your note, I went through that section and removed every entry that was either redlinked or where the article didn't assert any connection to Newburgh.

Maybe you could find some proof for those connections? Some sources saying those people were born or lived in Newburgh at some point? Daniel Case (talk) 19:33, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I saw an Orange County connection there (which wouldn't even be right if he lived in Wallkill). I don't know the ones like Saigon or Lauren Williams get there ... probably kids at NFA adding things they heard (when they're not adding themselves :-)) Daniel Case (talk) 19:38, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
