Who, looking for the Brooklyn Navy Yard, would find it here on the first try? Why does Wikipedia so often pick the more obscure title when more than one is available? Can someone fix this? --Wetman 05:45, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I moved it. I hope it's OK with all. Yossiea 20:36, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia articles should not contain large chunks of source text

The proposal that was recently added to this article (and which I removed once, to have it added back) does not belong here. As a source document, it more properly belongs on WikiSource. Please remove it from this article and consider submitting it there. Kelly Martin 01:24, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Second paragraph

The second paragraph is essentially lifted from the 1939 WPA Guide to New York. It should certainly be cited.
