[edit] NPOV
unless someone produces a source, i'm cutting out "majority of citizens do not drive"...that seems totally anecdotal Jporcaro 20:08, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
ALSO, when I cut all that POV stuff out, I forgot to sign in...IP 141.153.157.146 was mine. I'll put it back in if someone provides a source. Jporcaro 04:39, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
It might be anecdotal about a pedestrian majority, but consider the average age of its residents over the last fifteen years and the popularity of Broadway as its central shopping district, and there's a strong case for it. Constructed as an objective entry, one might say "Bayonne has a large pedestrian-friendly shopping avenue called Broadway, with a dedicated bus service there since 1932. Furthermore, Bayonne is largely comprised of many neighborhoods with church parishes tending to anchor residents. The number of delicatessens, pizzerians, and other local shops in each neighborhood tends to support a more pedestrian population."
All of which are facts, verifiable on a map with associated population densities to prove it. Of late, new construction and the introduction of row homes (some on historical sites, thanks for that) will likely change the character of the city remarkably. Scarletknight 13:17, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Operation Se7en?
I deleted some garbage from the page that included that and wasn't relative to the topic at all. NYGiantsNYMets91 04:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Feral Cats
I took out the bit about the "myriad of ferral [sic] cats." It may be funny (and true) but hardly a useful piece of trivia. Mistermind 17:11, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dress Code Controversy
Is dress policy of the Board of Ed really encyclopedic? I, for one, favor yanking out the third paragraph under Education. WhyTanFox 19:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bayonne City Seal.jpg
Image:Bayonne City Seal.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] add S I Newhouse of Conde Nast to list of famous
SAM NEWHOUSE, was the oldest of eight children born to poor Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. At 13, Sammy hit the streets of hometown Bayonne, New Jersey, to support his ailing father and family. A local lawyer-businessman gave him a tryout at no wages and promptly discovered he had hired the prototypical Horatio Alger kid.
In 1911, at age 16, pint-size Sam (then edging up to his adult height of 5 feet 2 inches) was put in charge of a struggling Bayonne newspaper that the lawyer had taken over in satisfaction of a bad debt. Startlingly, Sam made the paper a success and himself an early-day yuppie, beginning at age 21 to earn some $30,000 a year (around $300,000 in today's dollars). In the process, he grew obsessed with the newspaper business and uninterested in using the law degree he had somehow found time to get. By 1924, then 29, he had control of his own paper, the Staten Island Advance, a Newhouse property to this day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paleocon (talk • contribs) 03:55, 28 September 2007 (UTC) http://www.answers.com/topic/samuel-irving-newhouse —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paleocon (talk • contribs) 03:58, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
