Ft Orange / Ft. Nassau dates are contradictory[edit]

This article says Ft. Nassau was founded in 1608 and abandoned in 1617. I don't have any authoritative sources, but most of the secondary sources (see external links) suggest it was founded in 1614. Because there is a conflict and no references cited, I'm removing the date since it really belongs in the Fr. Nassau page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankSanMiguel (talk • contribs) 21:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Location, location, location[edit]

The article states that Fort Orange was located south of where Albany, New York presently sits. That's not true, Fort Orange is right under the north-west "corner" of the circle-stack interchange of I-787 and the South Mall Expressway! They found it while building it, and decided after some preliminary digging to simply build over it anyways (which is what the state typically does to historical sites in the capital city). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Camelbinky (talk • contribs) 23:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Content squeeze[edit]

I think we have a problem. Edward Tufte would not be amused.--Knulclunk 03:13, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the problem is that the article is very short, rather than too many templates. Erudecorp ? * 23:13, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
