Which Guinea Town?

This article conflates two very distinct and geographically distant sites. One on Long Island. One upstate on the Hudson River in the Town of Hyde Park. There is about equal content of each. WindingRoad (talk) 00:38, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I should have read this before editing the article. I deleting the Long Island mention but left in Hicks, who was associated with the Long Island "Guinea Town." Same for the Black Ice project still in the article but being linked to Long Island's Guinea Town. Needs to be fixed. David notMD (talk) 03:33, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

David notMD thank you for helping to clarify, I am getting more information coming off the site's recent national historic designation which you mention. I would like to add when nailed down better hopefully in near future. Thank you for solid well sourced info! WindingRoad (talk) 11:54, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a page that uses the language in the formal declaration that the Town of Hyde Park's New Guinea Community Site is on the National Register of Historic Places. See New_Guinea_Community_Site WindingRoad (talk) 15:51, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a conflation of two important but distinct historic African American Communities I attempted to remove the leading information that relates to the New Guinea Community Site, but significant other conflated content exists. Both long paragraphs, one starts with "Primus Martin" and the other relates to "work disputed" to not refer to the Long Island site.
