== Song Artist Attribution Mistake == |
|
|
At the ] section, the song "Boogie Down Bronx" is incorrectly attributed to JVC Force, who are linked to Boogie Down Productions. In reality, Boogie Down Bronx is correctly attributed to Man Parrish in his ] on Misplaced Pages. |

== East vs West Bronx == |
|
|
The current information at the top of the article about the division between the East and West Bronx and the size of the West Bronx relative to the East Bronx is incorrect. The West Bronx includes everything west of the Bronx River (the entire Annexed District), not just the area west of Jerome Avenue. Jerome Avenue just divides the street addresses, not the sections so there are buildings in the West Bronx with an "east" number. It's confusing, but it is true. This debate was resolved on the West Bronx page years ago. So saying that the West Bronx is 1/8th the size of the East Bronx is incorrect. I tried to fix this a couple days ago--in an admittedly clunky fashion--but the edit was reverted. I have no intention of starting an edit war so I'll leave it in the reverted form, but it is factually wrong if commonly believed. The lead in of this page as currently written is inconsistent with both the East and West Bronx pages. It would be nice if this could be discussed here and a solution found (6 Aug 2014). <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 13:48, 5 August 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== External links abuse edits == |
|
|
] (]) 14:06, 1 February 2015 (UTC) |
|
|
There are several users involved in deleting external links maliciously without cause. |
|
|
|
|
|
What can be done about this? |
|
|
|
|
|
The reliability of Welcome2TheBronx was questioned yet it is he most quoted source in the mainstream media in the Bronx and has created news stories that are eventually picked up by the mainstream media including the New York Times, NY1, Daily News, Pix11, The Atlantic, Bronx News12 just to name a few. It's Founder and Editor is also a source that is constantly quoted in articles by the NYtimes, NY1, Bronx News12, New York Daily News and many others. |
|
|
|
|
|
It's reliability is very well established and can be verified by a simple look at its media press page (a large number of recent articles have yet to be added including a recent one in the new York Times from Jan 2nd 2015 (yet another one from that newspaper alone. If Welcome2TheBronx isn't a reliable source, the New York Times or Daily News and NY1 or others would not turn to the page constantly for quotes) |
|
|
|
|
|
Now, a recent unknown Editor has taken it upon themselves to delete ALL links in that section and not just Welcome2TheBronx. At this point this is just simply abuse. |
|
|
|
|
|
*It has been 2 editors who have removed the external link, not just one |
|
|
*Cite your sources: who says W2TB is reliable? Has the ''NY Times'' or ''Daily Mail'' discussed its investigative journalism or reliability? If they have, where and when? |
|
|
*Stop accusing other editors of malice. In fact, stop assuming anything about any editor anywhere on Misplaced Pages. Our actions speak for themselves and do not need speculating on emotions or causes. |
|
|
|
|
|
*Yes, I deleted all the purported "newspaper" links, as none of them seem reliable. Some do not have articles, and those that do are plastered with "Citation needed". Not exactly the reliable stuff wanted for external links. |

**I am not going to comment on whether to link any individual website or not... Just a note on policy for all involved... External links (EL) are governed by our ] guideline, and NOT our ] (RS) guideline (WP:RS is for sources used as ''citations''). The standards for what is acceptable (or not) as an EL are ''different'' from our standards for what is acceptable (or not) as an RS. ] (]) 14:52, 1 February 2015 (UTC) |

|
Based on information and links provided this topic by Blueboar, the external link of Welcome2TheBronx meets the criteria. The other links are actually questionable at best because they do not all meet the criteria but personally a non issue to me since a few of those sites are valuable. |
|
|
|
|
|
According to WP guidelines for external links it states the following on blogs that shouldn't be used EXCEPT under the following conditions: |
|
|
"11.Blogs, personal web pages and most fansites, except those written by a recognized authority. (This exception for blogs, etc., controlled by recognized authorities is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities who are individuals always meet Misplaced Pages's notability criteria for people.)" |
|
|
Welcome2TheBronx's Editor and Founder meets this criteria as Misplaced Pages states: "Editors may also use material from reliable non-academic sources, particularly if it appears in respected mainstream publications. Other reliable sources include: university-level textbooks books published by respected publishing houses magazines journals mainstream newspapers." |
|
|
This has been further established by numerous references in The New York Times, New York Daily News, NY1, and many other reliable sources and sites. |

:That only proves that Welcome2TheBronx published the story first. It may not be a reliable source, as the other newspapers (Daily News, NY Times, DNAInfo, etc.) probably did some research of their own confirming the stories from Welcome2TheBronx. ] (]) 20:25, 1 February 2015 (UTC) |

== Revitalization == |
|
|
Need feedback and help. I made some corrections to the headings which can be easily reverted, no problem, no hard feelings. It seems to me that all of the references to the revitalization of the Bronx is current development and do not belong as just the conclusion to the history section. For now it's an independent section after the history. Perhaps the section should be moved to another location, like after Geography or Demographics. |

:It's really a part of history (revitalization comes after degradation), and the currency of the situation just means that it will be history later on, when more things start to happen. Whether in the past or in the present, gentrification is still considered a part of the chronology. So it should really stay where it is. ] (]) 00:12, 2 April 2016 (UTC) |

::I will change it back to "History" for now. I still debate this in my own mind, though. If a reader wants information about how the Bronx IS, will he or she look for the information in a section about how it WAS? Any more thoughts? |

== 1930s history may need rethinking == |
|
|
As currently written, the history of the Bronx is of decline 1930s-1960s. Yet my own family's history is that they and their friends and family moved to the Bronx in the 1930s because the IND D train opened up fast commuting to midtown Manhattan. They moved into legions of newly-built 6-storey apartment buildings. This does not seem like decline to me. Nor, in my own lifetime, was there much sense of decline in the West Bronx in the 1950s. ] (]) 23:11, 5 December 2016 (UTC) |

== Demographics -- White Alone/Non-Hispanic White percent == |
|
|
This is for accuracy in the demographics section. I noticed that under the demographics section that it says that "whites" are 45.8% of the Bronx population, yet there are sources from the state of New York that show that the non-Hispanic white population is actually less than 10% of the population of the Bronx, down from being more than 1/3rd of the population in the 1980s. For accuracy, perhaps the non-hispanic white population should be noted by itself as under 10%. The source that i have is from the "office of the new york state comptroller" website itself. |

|
"Blacks or African Americans represented |
|
|
29 percent of the population, a share that has |
|
|
remained relatively steady for decades. Whites |
|
|
were less than 10 percent, down from more than |
|
|
one-third in 1980. The number of Asian residents |
|

|
represented only 3 percent of the population." |

== Definite and indefinite articles in this article == |
|
|
In this article's section about The Bronx's definite article (and its requisite capitalization subplot) there is a sentence that currently reads: |
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>"Some people and groups refer to the borough with a capital letter at all times, such as Lloyd Ultan, a Bronx County Historical Society historian."</blockquote> |
|
|
|
|
|
I notice here that its "a Bronx County Historical Society historian." Should it be "a '''The''' Bronx County Historical Society historian" since this section establishes that "Bronx" is always preceded by the definite article (whose requisite capitalization remains in question)? ] (]) 04:11, 6 February 2019 (UTC) |

:: How about "The Bronx historian Lloyd Ultan?" ] (]) 15:48, 7 February 2019 (UTC) |
|
|
:::Sure, but "the" would not be capitalized. In this case "Bronx" functions as an adjective, modifying "the historian". You could just say "the historian Lloyd Ultan". ] (]) 19:15, 8 February 2019 (UTC) |

== Impossible statistic == |
|
|
Under Demographics, in the 1st paragraph, the article says that 45.8% of the Bronx's population is white. This fact is also mentioned in the following paragraph. |
|
|
|
|
|
But in the second paragraph the article says "There is an 89.7 chance that any two residents, chosen at random, would be of different race or ethnicity." Mathematically, this is impossible. If 45.8% are white, then if you choose 2 residents at random there will be .458 x .458 = .210 = '''21.0%''' chance that they will both be white. So claiming that there's an 89.7% chance they'll be of different ethnicity is clearly wrong. |
|
|
|
|
|
It gets worse. The article says 43.3% are black / African American. So, by the same arithmetic, there's an 18.7% chance they'll both be black. Add the 18.7 to the 21.0 calculated above and it's clear that there is ''at least'' a 39.7% chance they will have the same ethnicity. |
|
|
|
|
|
The article cites the Census Bureau for the impossible statistic. I presume that whoever placed that statistic in the article misstated the Census Bureau's explanation of what phenomenon had a 89.7% chance of occurring. It would be nice to read the Census Bureau reference and then correct the statistic in the article, but the link to the reference does not work. I'm loath to delete something just because I'm not smart enough to locate the reference, but if no one can locate the reference then the statistic should be deleted from the article. |

== Origin of Bronck == |
|
|
The alleged Swedish background of J. Bronck is highly debatable. Check it out on Misplaced Pages: Jonas Bronck. This, at least, should be mentioned in the text instead of stating without question that he was Swedish. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 15:33, 7 February 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Conflicting Statements == |
|
|
In the second paragraph: "The name "Bronx" originated with Swedish-born Jonas Bronck, who established the first settlement in the area as part of the New Netherland colony in 1639." Yet this statement appears in the first paragraph under Use of the Definite Article, in Etymology: "The region was apparently named after the Bronx River..." At first read, the statements are in apparent conflict, yet they simply need to be expanded upon (Was the river named first? Was it named after Bronk? Was the area named after Bronck's place and the river named after?) and that explanation should be mentioned once in entirety and repeated in part in the second mention.--] (]) 12:52, 19 September 2020 (UTC) |
