I don't think the audit information is important enough to be in a Wikipedia article.

The first two paragraphs of "History" seem to contradict each other and to gloss over some kind of (pseudo-?) controversy about whether Schenectady was settled by Indians before European settlement. This should be revised to state the grounds of disagreement, if there is a credible disagreement. (If the disagreement is not credible, the authority of the generally accepted understanding should be brought out clearly.)

[edit] Zip Code?

Isn't the zip code of Schenectady 12345? --163.41.248.2 20:45, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

So it is! [1]. Cool. —Ben FrantzDale 22:16, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

12345 is the zip code of the General Electric main plant in Sch'dy - and that's all. The rest of Sch'dy is various other zip codes starting with 123xx. —Wknight94 (talk) 00:39, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam?

is that section labeled spam really even necessary? it is completely pointless. -137.49.238.52 06:14, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

that was me. -Ally525 06:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it really adds much to the article, seeing as it is contested ahpook 15:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article needs infobox

This article needs an infobox and a map like uh yesterday. -- drumguy8800 C T 22:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation?

Is it pronounced "ske-nach-tay-dee"? IPA doesn't mean much to me unfortunately. 89.213.13.177 21:52, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Me neither. It's pronounced skuh-NECK-tuh-dee ---- by me anyway. Your "ske" is probably more accurate but it's not how it comes out when I say it. —Wknight94 (talk) 22:26, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
