It seems that the dates for Van der Donck's acquisition of Yonkers, which were based on Jerimiah Johnson's 1841 book according to Adriaen Van der Donck, don't jive with modern sources (in particular I've just checked Van Gastel's "Rhetorical Ambivalence" and Gehring's introduction in In Mohawk Country). I thought I'd checked all the dates in Adriaen Van der Donck before using them but apparently not, so the chronology is adjusting accordingly. — Laura Scudder ☎ 23:22, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Any way we could get this article edit protected ASAP for a while to try and stop the vandalism? I'm not quite sure where to post the request. Hbackman 04:05, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
The article says Yonkers is named after van der Donck. How so? Is it the "onk" sound?.. I've heard a completely different explanation for the town name. JDG 04:13, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Somehow we need to block a certain range of IPs from editing and creating new accounts. Though this will probably block legit users as well, this is just too silly to allow. Greentubing 04:19, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Dutch is my native language. "Jonkheer" is indeed a rank of lower level nobility, pretty close to "squire". RB
Jonkheer is a predicate, not a title or rank. It is given to all members of the Dutch nobility, only the ones without title use it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.125.180.36 ( talk) 12:01, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I believe that featured article criterion 1.(c) is not met, since there are several paragraphs without clear source reference. – Ilse @ 09:23, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
I agree. The article is largely unreferenced. Regards, — mattisse ( Talk) 18:45, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
The image accompanying the Adriaen van der Donck article is a detail of a portrait that has been in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., since 1947. When it entered the collection it had the title "Adriaen van der Donck." However, this painting and the larger group of portraits of which it was a part were extensively researched and many were found not to portray the person identified in the title, or to have been painted by the artists assigned to them. The portrait illustrating the Adriaen van der Donck article was one of these, and since the 1960s the National Gallery of Art has called the painting simply "Portrait of a Man" painted by an anonymous French 17th century artist. See: http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=34147&detail=lit Use of the image to illustrate an article about Adriaen van der Donck perpetuates an error that was discovered over 40 years ago, and the image should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.198.232.55 ( talk) 15:31, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
