@ Michael Bednarek:Why do we need to show New York City...within New York City? It makes zero sense. IWI ( chat) 08:09, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
@ Castncoot:What is the point of having a pushpin on a map of NYC? You’re implying that NYC is where the pin is and not the whole map. Either should be a seperate map or not there at all. IWI ( chat) 11:32, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
@ Castncoot and Michael Bednarek:You are not getting the point; I DO NOT object to the map being there, but to the map being shown with a pushpin as it could be misleading to some readers. Not everyone knows what the map is showing at first glance and with a pushpin centered on lower Manhattan reading “New York City”, the map suggests where the pushpin is shown is the city and not the whole area displayed on the map. Please read this carefully as you’re clearly having difficulty understanding this. IWI ( chat) 19:41, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
The map should be plain and not pushpin; we already have an interactive map of the boroughs on this page. IWI ( chat) 07:14, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
@ Castncoot and Alanscottwalker:That’s not acceptable, he agrees with me and you ignored it. I will report you if you attempt to continue this Castncoot. IWI ( chat) 20:40, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
@ Castncoot:You’re unwilling to discuss or even consider my viewpoint, which isn’t how we run Wikipedia. The purpose of a pushpin map is to show the reader where the city is, A map of New York City doesn’t show you where New York City is and suggests New York City is only located on Manhattan (where the pushpin is) and would likely confuse anyone not familiar with the map of New York City. IWI ( chat) 19:38, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
In Template:Infobox settlement, the standard seems to be to specify in settlement_type the type of government. In the State of New York, the options would be City, Town, Village (and Borough in New York City) for incorporated places, with CDP, hamlet, reservation (and perhaps limited others) for unincorporated places. I'm not sure that Megacity is an appropriate option. In my view, this edit by ImprovedWikiImprovment is on the right track. I support the change and I'm not sure that this edit by Castncoot is the right way to go. Any thoughts here? Is New York City different and (even if it is) should that difference be expressed in the settlement_type parameter? Alansohn ( talk) 03:00, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
|settlement_type=
in the template Infobox settlement is not quite sufficient for NYC, which is described in the article as a "megacity" and listed at
that article. The template's documentation does not prescribe which values may be used. I think using that term in the infobox is helpful. --

06:31, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
It should just read city as that IS the settlement type; megacity isn't a type but a concept. Also I support an infobox name change to "New York" IWI ( chat) 22:22, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
I wasn't suggesting changing the article name to "New York" but the infobox name. IWI ( chat) 09:47, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
Against "megacity" - I can't find anywhere it is used in tertiary sources (except in our Megacity article), so our use, is non-standard, non-npov, pushing of a neologism (and probably makes Wikipedia look silly (eg fan-fiction). If we wanted to use it in a more standard way, it only applies to large urban agglomerations or in the US, Metropolitan Areas (eg New York Metropolitan Area), not to the center city, but even there it just is seemingly less used synonym in specialized context, not encyclopedic presentation. So, this article is a city, not a megacity. Alanscottwalker ( talk) 17:53, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
Megacity is a stupid made-up word with no basis in the law of New York (state), and is not commonly used to describe New York. We shouldn't use it. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 03:46, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
which can't be a "made-up" word because it's got its own Wikipedia article"...brilliant :) we also have articles on Daleks and Cybermen, but I don't think anyone's looking for a good Latin pedigree for those words either. —— SerialNumber 54129 15:16, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

Add a subsection under "Environment" that is called "Air Quality." Under this subsection, please include the following:
"According to the 2016 World Health Organization Global Urban Ambient Air Pollution Database, [1] the annual average PM2.5 concentration in 2016 was 7 micrograms per cubic metre, which is 3 micrograms below the recommended limit of the WHO Air Quality Guidelines for the annual mean PM2.5. [2] The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) partners with Queens College to conduct the New York Community Air Survey (NYCCAS) and measure at about 150 locations in New York City.

The numbers given in the Religion section are obviously wrong. It says that 59% of New Yorkers are Christian, 18.4% Jewish, and approximately 10% Muslim, followed by 24% Non-Religious, and an unspecified percentage of Buddhists, Hindus, etc., surely adding up to more than 0%. The total number is somewhere north of 111%, so it would seem that editors of each religious group have cherrypicked from sources to exaggerate their numbers. Only the most recent official U.S. Census or Community Survey figure should be used for each religious group, which would end in lower numbers across the board.

@ Castncoot: I propose changing the infobox title to "New York". Many city's official titles are "City of.." (including Los Angeles, but it isn’t entitled "Los Angeles City" is it). The title exists as a disambiguator only, but the common name that should be used in the infobox is just "New York". IWI ( chat) 16:07, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

I think it should be changed to "New York" also, and the fact that me and Castncoot agree on something (which we usually don't) is surely a good sign. I don't understand why it is such an issue to have a "mismatch" between the title and infobox. Every state article ( Texas, New Jersey) does this and nobody cares there. It would look how it looks on the right IWI ( chat) 13:04, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

This has gone from a civil discussion to this. I was AGF up until now; I'll take that as a personal attack. Do you mean the relationship between a state and a city? Your wording is confusing. IWI ( chat) 18:12, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
If you mean do I know what "New York, New York" means, then I do. New York is in the state of New York. I was merely stating that we don’t need this at the top of the infobox. What exactly in relation to this discussion don’t I know? IWI ( chat) 19:59, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
Also, please observe this, which was ultimately removed. I do agree with you to some degree but others said that it was wrong. My point was that it appears a bit repetitive with 3 "New York"s next to each other. IWI ( chat) 22:03, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
This is hopeless, no consensus means keep it the same. Is anyone willing to compromise their ideas? I’m open to most except:

The article contains the following very long sentence:
"The city and surrounding area suffered the bulk of the economic damage and largest loss of human life in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks when 10 of the 19 terrorists associated with Al-Qaeda piloted American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center and United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, and later destroyed them, killing 2,192 civilians, 343 firefighters, and 71 law enforcement officers who were in the towers and in the surrounding area."
I think this needs to be divided up and that some info, such as "10 of the 19 terrorists" removed as too much detail. I recently made such a revision, but was reverted. Attic Salt ( talk) 13:26, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
The article contains the following very long (and confusing) sentence:
"Winters are cold and damp, and prevailing wind patterns that blow offshore temper the moderating effects of the Atlantic Ocean; yet the Atlantic and the partial shielding from colder air by the Appalachians keep the city warmer in the winter than inland North American cities at similar or lesser latitudes such as Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis."
A few problems, prevailing winds blow FROM offshore, and "temper the moderating" is confusing. I recently tried to make related revisions, but was reverted. Attic Salt ( talk) 13:30, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
So, moving this here, "Offshore winds from the Atlantic and the partial shielding of the Appalachians keep the city warmer in the winter than inland North American cities at similar or lesser latitudes such as Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis." It's uncited you have two opposite claims being made in the editing dispute (are they OR?). NOAA suggests the prevailing winds are from the west. [ [4]] and on top of that the text gets into uncited claims about other cities, where do those come from? ( WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT) -- Alanscottwalker ( talk) 14:40, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
The article contains the following discussion under "Early history":
"During the Wisconsinan glaciation, 75,000 to 11,000 years ago, the New York City region was situated at the edge of a large ice sheet over 1,000 feet (300 m) in depth. The ice sheet scraped away large amounts of regolith, leaving the bedrock that serves as the geologic foundation for much of New York City today. Later on, movement of the ice sheet contributed to the separation of what are now Long Island and Staten Island."
For an article on a city, I find this overly technical and somewhat unbalanced. The mention of "Later on" suggests a sequence of events that is not accurate. The glaciation would have done at least two things of relevance here, leave bedrock exposed and shape what would be exposed surface after the retreat of the ice. But this would have been done simultaneously. The effects would be manifest after the ice retreated. Note, the use of the word "regolith" is something I inserted some time ago, to replace incorrect use of the word "soil" (which is not the same thing). Either way, though, some fixing is needed. I suggest something like the following (a refinement of something similar to what I'd inserted before being reverted):
"During the Wisconsinan glaciation, 75,000 to 11,000 years ago, the New York City region was situated at the edge of a large ice sheet over 1,000 feet (300 m) in depth. The erosive movement of the ice (and its subsequent retreat) contributed to the separation of what are now Long Island and Staten Island, and it exposed bedrock that today serves as the foundation for much of the city.[86]"

I don't think that the sentence The city's fast pace has inspired the term New York minute. (near the end of the first paragraph in the lead) should be in the lead. While I think that it would be good in the body, it seems like a particular example of the implications of New York's quick pace that is too specific to be in the lead, which should be a general overview of the topic that doesn't go into trivial specific details. While I agree that the city's fast pace should be mentioned in the lead, I don't think that the lead is the place for trivial instances of this. Care to differ or discuss with me?

In January 1785, Congress moved to the big apple unofficially.
Then, the state of New York ratified the U.S. Constitution on July 26, 1788. Because of this, Congress voted to keep the capital there until they could settle the matter of a federal district.
For two years, New York City remained the official capital of the U.S.
In 1790, on July 16, President George Washington signed the Residence Act. That Act would establish the new federal district on the banks of the Potomac River.
It would take some time to move there and set up shop, but by 1800, New York City ceded the capital to Washington D.C.

Station1: You could add also to the end of your sentence: ,where congress reconvened on December 6, 1790. The decision to move the national capital to Philadelphia was made during the negotiations of the Residence_Act and Assumption Bill of 1790. This led to the decision to designate Philadelphia as the temporary capital city of the United States federal government for a period of ten years, until the area which would later become the District of Columbia was ready.
The last sentence of the Compromise and Adoption section in the Residence_Act gives the exact date of the congress officially meeting in Philadelphia.
The second to last sentence of the Compromise and Adoption section in the Residence_Act article gives the exact time frame of the capital being in Philadelphia for 10 years.
A lot of people will want to be really clear on how the national capital moved from NYC, then Philadelphia, and finally the District of Columbia.
There is a good reference also in the Residence_Act in the background section:
During the mid-1780s, numerous locations were offered by the states to serve as the nation's capital, but the Continental Congress could never agree on a site due to regional loyalties and tensions. Proposed sites included: Kingston, New York; Nottingham Township in New Jersey; Annapolis; Williamsburg, Virginia; Wilmington, Delaware; Reading, Pennsylvania; Germantown, Pennsylvania; Lancaster, Pennsylvania; New York City; Philadelphia; and Princeton; among others. The Southern states refused to accept a capital in the North, and vice versa. Another suggestion was for there to be two capitals, one in the North and one in the South.
The United States Congress was established in 1789, upon ratification of the United States Constitution, and New York City remained the temporary capital.
The entire paragraph may have to be tweaked a little like this:
In 1785, the assembly of the Congress of the Confederation made New York City the national capital after the war. New York was the last capital of the U.S. under the Articles of Confederation and the first capital under the Constitution of the United States. In 1789, the first President of the United States, George Washington, was inaugurated; the first United States Congress and the Supreme Court of the United States each assembled for the first time, and the United States Bill of Rights was drafted, all at Federal Hall on Wall Street. By 1790, New York had surpassed Philadelphia to become the largest city in the United States, but by the end of that year the national capital was moved to Philadelphia.
Proposed edits: remove "shortly" because 1776-1785 is actually 9 years which is not shortly, that is a decade.
New York was the capital of the U.S. or seat_of_government when the Articles of Confederation were written, and the temporary capital or seat of government when the Constitution of the United States was ratified.
By 1790, New York had surpassed Philadelphia to become the largest city in the United States, but by the end of that year the national capital was moved to Philadelphia, where congress reconvened on December 6, 1790. The decision to move the national capital to Philadelphia was made during the negotiations of the Residence_Act and Assumption Bill of 1790. This led to the decision to designate Philadelphia as the temporary capital city of the United States federal government for a period of ten years, until the area which would later become the District of Columbia was ready.

Thank you for including the Residence Act link. Done!
I have one more point of topic for this Section: New York delegation actually ratified the Constitution after it had been officially ratified already by the number of states needed.
See [6] and notice that: 1788/06/21 Sat - Constitution Ratified 1788/06/25 Wed - Virginia ratifies 1788/07/02 Wed - Congress is informed the Constitution has been ratified 1788/07/26 Sat - New York ratifies
Since NYC was the capital at the time and the New York delegation ratified the US Constitution after it was officially ratified, was that the real reason the capital moved to Philadelphia pursuant to the Residence Act? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.232.248.216 ( talk) 00:32, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Omnibus added a Disputed section banner to the religious demographic section in December, noting that the numbers for different religious and non-religious groups add up to over 100% and suggesting using the U.S. Census or Community Survey. These particular sources don't seem to track religious affiliation, but if we can find a RS that does, we could certainly use that in addition to the current sources. In the meantime, disagreement between RSs is not in itself grounds for an accuracy dispute ( WP:NOTTRUTH), as is indicated by the banner text: "Please help to ensure that disputed statements are reliably sourced". All the statements that contain numerical claims appear to have at least one reliable citation, so I'm removing the banner. Eperoton ( talk) 23:59, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

@ Michael Bednarek:Why do we need to show New York City...within New York City? It makes zero sense. IWI ( chat) 08:09, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
@ Castncoot:What is the point of having a pushpin on a map of NYC? You’re implying that NYC is where the pin is and not the whole map. Either should be a seperate map or not there at all. IWI ( chat) 11:32, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
@ Castncoot and Michael Bednarek:You are not getting the point; I DO NOT object to the map being there, but to the map being shown with a pushpin as it could be misleading to some readers. Not everyone knows what the map is showing at first glance and with a pushpin centered on lower Manhattan reading “New York City”, the map suggests where the pushpin is shown is the city and not the whole area displayed on the map. Please read this carefully as you’re clearly having difficulty understanding this. IWI ( chat) 19:41, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
The map should be plain and not pushpin; we already have an interactive map of the boroughs on this page. IWI ( chat) 07:14, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

@ Castncoot:You’re unwilling to discuss or even consider my viewpoint, which isn’t how we run Wikipedia. The purpose of a pushpin map is to show the reader where the city is, A map of New York City doesn’t show you where New York City is and suggests New York City is only located on Manhattan (where the pushpin is) and would likely confuse anyone not familiar with the map of New York City.

In Template:Infobox settlement, the standard seems to be to specify in settlement_type the type of government. In the State of New York, the options would be City, Town, Village (and Borough in New York City) for incorporated places, with CDP, hamlet, reservation (and perhaps limited others) for unincorporated places. I'm not sure that Megacity is an appropriate option. In my view, this edit by ImprovedWikiImprovment is on the right track. I support the change and I'm not sure that this edit by Castncoot is the right way to go. Any thoughts here? Is New York City different and (even if it is) should that difference be expressed in the settlement_type parameter? Alansohn ( talk) 03:00, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
|settlement_type=
in the template Infobox settlement is not quite sufficient for NYC, which is described in the article as a "megacity" and listed at
that article. The template's documentation does not prescribe which values may be used. I think using that term in the infobox is helpful. --

It should just read city as that IS the settlement type; megacity isn't a type but a concept. Also I support an infobox name change to "New York" IWI ( chat) 22:22, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
I wasn't suggesting changing the article name to "New York" but the infobox name. IWI ( chat) 09:47, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
Against "megacity" - I can't find anywhere it is used in tertiary sources (except in our Megacity article), so our use, is non-standard, non-npov, pushing of a neologism (and probably makes Wikipedia look silly (eg fan-fiction). If we wanted to use it in a more standard way, it only applies to large urban agglomerations or in the US, Metropolitan Areas (eg New York Metropolitan Area), not to the center city, but even there it just is seemingly less used synonym in specialized context, not encyclopedic presentation. So, this article is a city, not a megacity. Alanscottwalker ( talk) 17:53, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
Megacity is a stupid made-up word with no basis in the law of New York (state), and is not commonly used to describe New York. We shouldn't use it. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 03:46, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

Add a subsection under "Environment" that is called "Air Quality." Under this subsection, please include the following:
"According to the 2016 World Health Organization Global Urban Ambient Air Pollution Database, [1] the annual average PM2.5 concentration in 2016 was 7 micrograms per cubic metre, which is 3 micrograms below the recommended limit of the WHO Air Quality Guidelines for the annual mean PM2.5.

The numbers given in the Religion section are obviously wrong. It says that 59% of New Yorkers are Christian, 18.4% Jewish, and approximately 10% Muslim, followed by 24% Non-Religious, and an unspecified percentage of Buddhists, Hindus, etc., surely adding up to more than 0%. The total number is somewhere north of 111%, so it would seem that editors of each religious group have cherrypicked from sources to exaggerate their numbers. Only the most recent official U.S. Census or Community Survey figure should be used for each religious group, which would end in lower numbers across the board.

@ Castncoot: I propose changing the infobox title to "New York". Many city's official titles are "City of.." (including Los Angeles, but it isn’t entitled "Los Angeles City" is it).

I think it should be changed to "New York" also, and the fact that me and Castncoot agree on something (which we usually don't) is surely a good sign. I don't understand why it is such an issue to have a "mismatch" between the title and infobox. Every state article ( Texas, New Jersey) does this and nobody cares there.

This has gone from a civil discussion to this. I was AGF up until now; I'll take that as a personal attack. Do you mean the relationship between a state and a city? Your wording is confusing. IWI ( chat) 18:12, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
If you mean do I know what "New York, New York" means, then I do. New York is in the state of New York. I was merely stating that we don’t need this at the top of the infobox. What exactly in relation to this discussion don’t I know? IWI ( chat) 19:59, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

The article contains the following very long sentence:
"The city and surrounding area suffered the bulk of the economic damage and largest loss of human life in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks when 10 of the 19 terrorists associated with Al-Qaeda piloted American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center and United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, and later destroyed them, killing 2,192 civilians, 343 firefighters, and 71 law enforcement officers who were in the towers and in the surrounding area."
I think this needs to be divided up and that some info, such as "10 of the 19 terrorists" removed as too much detail. I recently made such a revision, but was reverted. Attic Salt ( talk) 13:26, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
The article contains the following very long (and confusing) sentence:
"Winters are cold and damp, and prevailing wind patterns that blow offshore temper the moderating effects of the Atlantic Ocean; yet the Atlantic and the partial shielding from colder air by the Appalachians keep the city warmer in the winter than inland North American cities at similar or lesser latitudes such as Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis."
A few problems, prevailing winds blow FROM offshore, and "temper the moderating" is confusing. I recently tried to make related revisions, but was reverted. Attic Salt ( talk) 13:30, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
So, moving this here, "Offshore winds from the Atlantic and the partial shielding of the Appalachians keep the city warmer in the winter than inland North American cities at similar or lesser latitudes such as Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis." It's uncited you have two opposite claims being made in the editing dispute (are they OR?). NOAA suggests the prevailing winds are from the west. [ [4]] and on top of that the text gets into uncited claims about other cities, where do those come from? ( WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT) -- Alanscottwalker ( talk) 14:40, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
The article contains the following discussion under "Early history":
"During the Wisconsinan glaciation, 75,000 to 11,000 years ago, the New York City region was situated at the edge of a large ice sheet over 1,000 feet (300 m) in depth. The ice sheet scraped away large amounts of regolith, leaving the bedrock that serves as the geologic foundation for much of New York City today. Later on, movement of the ice sheet contributed to the separation of what are now Long Island and Staten Island."
For an article on a city, I find this overly technical and somewhat unbalanced. The mention of "Later on" suggests a sequence of events that is not accurate. The glaciation would have done at least two things of relevance here, leave bedrock exposed and shape what would be exposed surface after the retreat of the ice. But this would have been done simultaneously. The effects would be manifest after the ice retreated. Note, the use of the word "regolith" is something I inserted some time ago, to replace incorrect use of the word "soil" (which is not the same thing). Either way, though, some fixing is needed. I suggest something like the following (a refinement of something similar to what I'd inserted before being reverted):
"During the Wisconsinan glaciation, 75,000 to 11,000 years ago, the New York City region was situated at the edge of a large ice sheet over 1,000 feet (300 m) in depth. The erosive movement of the ice (and its subsequent retreat) contributed to the separation of what are now Long Island and Staten Island, and it exposed bedrock that today serves as the foundation for much of the city.[86]"

I don't think that the sentence The city's fast pace has inspired the term New York minute. (near the end of the first paragraph in the lead) should be in the lead. While I think that it would be good in the body, it seems like a particular example of the implications of New York's quick pace that is too specific to be in the lead, which should be a general overview of the topic that doesn't go into trivial specific details. While I agree that the city's fast pace should be mentioned in the lead, I don't think that the lead is the place for trivial instances of this. Care to differ or discuss with me?

In January 1785, Congress moved to the big apple unofficially.
Then, the state of New York ratified the U.S. Constitution on July 26, 1788. Because of this, Congress voted to keep the capital there until they could settle the matter of a federal district.
For two years, New York City remained the official capital of the U.S.
In 1790, on July 16, President George Washington signed the Residence Act. That Act would establish the new federal district on the banks of the Potomac River.
It would take some time to move there and set up shop, but by 1800, New York City ceded the capital to Washington D.C.

Station1: You could add also to the end of your sentence: ,where congress reconvened on December 6, 1790. The decision to move the national capital to Philadelphia was made during the negotiations of the Residence_Act and Assumption Bill of 1790. This led to the decision to designate Philadelphia as the temporary capital city of the United States federal government for a period of ten years, until the area which would later become the District of Columbia was ready.
The last sentence of the Compromise and Adoption section in the Residence_Act gives the exact date of the congress officially meeting in Philadelphia.
The second to last sentence of the Compromise and Adoption section in the Residence_Act article gives the exact time frame of the capital being in Philadelphia for 10 years.
A lot of people will want to be really clear on how the national capital moved from NYC, then Philadelphia, and finally the District of Columbia.
There is a good reference also in the Residence_Act in the background section:
During the mid-1780s, numerous locations were offered by the states to serve as the nation's capital, but the Continental Congress could never agree on a site due to regional loyalties and tensions. Proposed sites included: Kingston, New York; Nottingham Township in New Jersey; Annapolis; Williamsburg, Virginia; Wilmington, Delaware; Reading, Pennsylvania; Germantown, Pennsylvania; Lancaster, Pennsylvania; New York City; Philadelphia; and Princeton; among others. The Southern states refused to accept a capital in the North, and vice versa. Another suggestion was for there to be two capitals, one in the North and one in the South.
The United States Congress was established in 1789, upon ratification of the United States Constitution, and New York City remained the temporary capital.
The entire paragraph may have to be tweaked a little like this:
In 1785, the assembly of the Congress of the Confederation made New York City the national capital after the war. New York was the last capital of the U.S. under the Articles of Confederation and the first capital under the Constitution of the United States. In 1789, the first President of the United States, George Washington, was inaugurated; the first United States Congress and the Supreme Court of the United States each assembled for the first time, and the United States Bill of Rights was drafted, all at Federal Hall on Wall Street. By 1790, New York had surpassed Philadelphia to become the largest city in the United States, but by the end of that year the national capital was moved to Philadelphia.
Proposed edits: remove "shortly" because 1776-1785 is actually 9 years which is not shortly, that is a decade.
New York was the capital of the U.S. or seat_of_government when the Articles of Confederation were written, and the temporary capital or seat of government when the Constitution of the United States was ratified.
By 1790, New York had surpassed Philadelphia to become the largest city in the United States, but by the end of that year the national capital was moved to Philadelphia, where congress reconvened on December 6, 1790. The decision to move the national capital to Philadelphia was made during the negotiations of the Residence_Act and Assumption Bill of 1790. This led to the decision to designate Philadelphia as the temporary capital city of the United States federal government for a period of ten years, until the area which would later become the District of Columbia was ready.

Thank you for including the Residence Act link. Done!
I have one more point of topic for this Section: New York delegation actually ratified the Constitution after it had been officially ratified already by the number of states needed.
See [6] and notice that: 1788/06/21 Sat - Constitution Ratified 1788/06/25 Wed - Virginia ratifies 1788/07/02 Wed - Congress is informed the Constitution has been ratified 1788/07/26 Sat - New York ratifies
Since NYC was the capital at the time and the New York delegation ratified the US Constitution after it was officially ratified, was that the real reason the capital moved to Philadelphia pursuant to the Residence Act? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.232.248.216 ( talk) 00:32, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Omnibus added a Disputed section banner to the religious demographic section in December, noting that the numbers for different religious and non-religious groups add up to over 100% and suggesting using the U.S. Census or Community Survey. These particular sources don't seem to track religious affiliation, but if we can find a RS that does, we could certainly use that in addition to the current sources. In the meantime, disagreement between RSs is not in itself grounds for an accuracy dispute ( WP:NOTTRUTH), as is indicated by the banner text: "Please help to ensure that disputed statements are reliably sourced".

I like to think my eyesight is generally good. Therefore, I believe I'm correct that New York City is located in the southeast part of New York state. GoodDay ( talk) 20:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

I want to edit this page. I believe that your information is not all correct. Thesquash101 ( talk) 23:04, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
In the history section, the paragraph devoted to the Stonewall Riots is almost twice as large as the few sentences covering 9/11. Does anyone else think this is a tad absurd? - 14.203.38.101 ( talk) 00:08, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
I see a bit of editwarring going on, and I suggest folks not do that. Nor engage or trade accusations of sockpuppetry. I think it is a good idea however to talk about the amount of citations used in the lead section. It probably can be reduced. Per MOS:CITELEAD, the lead should avoid redundant citations for statements that are cited elsewhere. Controversial statements or those about living people are exceptions. I count 76 citations in the version from yesterday, including one sentence with 16. I bet we don't need everyone of those. Again, please discuss, don't editwar even if you think you're right.-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 02:03, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
Please let's refrain from combative editing and discuss. If there are uncited sentences, why not use Template:Citation needed, and we can see which are still needed?-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 00:18, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect The Center School (Manhattan). Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Hog Farm ( talk) 21:35, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
The current lead sentence is absurd. The official name of the city is the "City of New York". Someone has insisted to change it in defiance of BRD, as I reverted it. They seem to have reverted it back. What is the consensus? IWI ( chat) 01:24, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

In the "For Other Uses" section at the top of the page, there are two links to the page New York City (Disambiguation). I am not yet autoconfirmed and request that someone remove the redundant link. Netherin5 ( talk) 21:43, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
