I wanted to raise a question which may or may not be a problem, but perhaps i just need clarification. In the wallabout bay page it states that brooklyn is named after the dutch words "to use" and to "loan" however, on the history of brooklyn page it says it was named after the dutch county in the netherlands "Breukelen". Now it may turn out that these are one in the same, however a little clarification and consistency between the pages would not hurt.

Also, this is my first time contributing to a wikipedia page, and dont know how to bring these questions up, so im sorry if im not following guidelines! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.139.49.74 (talk) 03:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
