This page has gone back and forth a few times between being called "City Island, New York", and "City Island (New York)". Please leave the title in the comma style, as that is the wikipedia preferred style. See Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (city names).
- I strongly disagree. It is not the preferred style, since City Island is not a city. It is an island, that is, a geographic feature. Neither Hart Island or City Island should have the comma, in my opinion, since there is no such municipality as "City Island, New York". If a comma is to be used, it should be City Island, Bronx in parallel with List of Bronx neighborhoods. Using the comma with the state New York puts it into the false representation as a census-designated place in the United States, which it is not. "City Island, New York" is simpl unacceptable by that standard.-- Decumanus 17:39, 2004 Dec 11 (UTC)
