Pigeon Fest

Pigeon Fest. Amazing ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:52, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think Jim.henderson and I were both agonizing about how to photograph both the Pigeon Fest and the No Kings protest, which happened at the same time. :) On the day, it rained all day and I figured the pigeon event was most likely to get rescheduled. Apparently I was wrong. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:06, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alas, despite the rain, so many people showed up that the reservation policy was strictly enforced. So, no pix that day for me. At least the Mermaid Parade on Saturday will have no gatekeepers. Jim.henderson (talk) 03:03, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The scope has expanded to Pigeons in New York City. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:27, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Plane Space

The article Plane Space has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged as Unreferenced for more than 13 years. Tagged also for Notability concerns for 13+ years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. No relevant sources online Google; they are about the mathematics concept. Run of the mill, small art gallery that existed for six years in the early Oughts.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Idea -- to fix a TYPO

The section Talk:Bernard Museum of Judaica#TYPO in the last word of the 2nd paragraph has been added recently.

Any comments would be welcomed. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 23:29, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct, it's a typo. 1874 is correct and you should change it as soon as possible. Station1 (talk) 07:38, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gravesend Bay

I knocked off a quick stub on Gravesend Bay because surprisingly we lacked an article on this body of water. It was previously a redirect to Gravesend, Brooklyn which didn't mention the bay hardly at all (just in passing). If anyone wants to work on expanding it and checking links to the article I would appreciate it. Best.4meter4 (talk) 16:34, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nicely done and yes, surprising it did not already exist! @DutchTreat do you think a map would be an informative addition to this article? - Wil540 art (talk) 18:02, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Wil540 art: I agree that a map helps show the relationships between the interconnected waterways. @4meter4: map added with a few labels and descriptions. Feel free to add/remove/change them. DutchTreat (talk) 10:18, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DutchTreat Nicely done. Looks good on mobile and desktop for me, however, the map isn’t loading on the Wikipedia iOS app. hmm. - Wil540 art (talk) 18:00, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the assistance. The map makes it so much better. I added in the names of neighborhoods and parks which have shoreline along the bay.4meter4 (talk) 23:00, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Zeckendorf Towers look-alike

This red brick skyscraper somewhere in Manhattan has a Morton Williams Supermarket on the bottom floor, so I suspect this is an apartment complex. There's also a bus stop in front of the right side. I took a closer look at it, and it seems like it's for the M77 bus, but that can't be right since that route doesn't exist. I immediately thought of Zeckendorf Plaza at Union Square, but the store windows and doors look nothing like that complex. There's also no subway entrance. I looked up the locations on Morton Williams' website but they show no photographs, and have no GSV map access. So where could this be? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 00:55, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A skyscraper with a supermarket at the bottom, but not Zeckendorf.
