I am changing a references to Mayor Dillon being a scion of a Hugueont family. He is not. His father, John R. Dillon, immigrated from Ireland to New Rochelle. The family is Catholic.

I would be quite interested to discuss this with anyone who might have any information that shows otherwise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjdillon (talk • contribs) 21:35, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

high school fire

The student that set the fire to the high school had nothing to do with the war — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.15.0.131 (talk • contribs)

Do you have a source for that information? Wikipedia needs reliable sources. --Orlady (talk) 00:42, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hudson Valley project?

As far as I know, New Rochelle is not part of the Hudson Valley. The wiki article for the Hudson Valley does not include New Rochelle in its list of cities. That said, why is this article part of WikiProject Hudson Valley? Asriel (talk) 01:23, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would probably be more effective to ask that question on the Hudson Valley wikiproject page, as this is one of many articles that were added to the project on the same day back in March 2008. --Orlady (talk) 01:58, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images

I just made several edits to the images. I sense a war brewing between competing image contributors. Since I haven't contributed any of these images, my judgments are based only on image quality and how well I think the image illustrates its topic. What I did:

I removed the tiny size spec on the image of the police officer on a Segway and replaced it with the "upright" spec. See WP:MOS regarding size specs on thumbnails.
I restored the previous image of the historical society that includes more of the building's grounds. Nothing in the article or the image suggests the need for a closer-in view that omits the building's setting.
I replaced the image of the Huguenot Children's Library with one that shows a topic that is actually discussed in the article (the fire department). If there were information in the article about the library, then the image of the library would seem more relevant.

Additionally, I intend to put "upright" specs on some other vertically formatted images so they will not be so much larger than the horizontally formatted images. --Orlady (talk) 18:02, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But Some images added to articles are of a low quality level. Contributions of improved images help to fix the issue easily. I added:

An image more clearly and directly focused on an officer on a segway.--Geezalou (talk) 18:57, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
