July 13 Information
Is this investment firm still around, and if so, is there a article on it, and can any sources be placed? I used to see their ads on TV long ago. Thanks.🥰 Nuclear Sergeant ( talk) 02:49, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

A few questions regarding the article West Point, New York:
- Do you need to cite that it was part of the New York–Newark, NY–NJ–CT–PA Combined Statistical Area? Or WP:SKYBLUE?
- Same SKYBLUE situation for coordinates.
- And for citing if roads go through it– U.S. Route 9W combined with NY Route 218, and U.S. Route 6.
- I can't find any sources for part of paragraph 2, section "Geography and Climate" but there's a lot of information there. Would it be best to remove it?

- It is customary to apply
{{citation needed}}tags rather than remove large amounts of text. Abductive ( reasoning) 06:32, 13 July 2023 (UTC)- The article's talk page is the right place for this discussion. Perhaps your last point is appropriate here, but the rest is outside the scope of the Reference Desks. Alansplodge ( talk) 08:41, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

- Following the well documented Italian wikipedia it can be infered that the staff captain Laškevič's genealogy might be expanded
here, however the huge work was in fact never entirely completed (see
General Armorial of the Noble Families of the Russian Empire) --

- You should probably search in Ukrainian, as the family was either Ukrainian or Belarussian. See uk:Лашкевичі. Ghirla -трёп- 10:32, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
