Talk:City of Greater New York

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The corporate history of the "Great Mistake of '98" as some conservatives called it, isn't a huge topic of New York City history, but it has its appropriate place in this little article. Whether the Dinkins/Giuliani election should be covered here or in articles about the protagonists or about Staten Island, that's another question. Anyway I'll add a little material about the State constitutional implications of amalgamation, and a link to a corporate governance issue. Jim.henderson 15:19, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An awful lot on Staten Island...

This article is only five paragraphs long, and about half of it is about the attempt on the part of Staten Island to secceed. Shouldn't that be in its own article? --Jfruh (talk) 22:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reliable Source?

This sentence:

The phrase City of Greater New York was never a legal or official designation as both the original charter of 1898 and the newer one of 1938 use the name of City of New York (link).
