Orphaned references in Long Island[edit]
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Long Island's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "BrooklynChinatowns2":
- From Chinese Americans in New York City: Liz Robbins (April 15, 2015). "Influx of Chinese Immigrants Is Reshaping Large Parts of Brooklyn". The New York Times. Retrieved April 15, 2015.
- From Chinatowns in Brooklyn: Liz Robbins (April 15, 2015). "Influx of Chinese Immigrants Is Reshaping Large Parts of Brooklyn". The New York Times. Retrieved April 15, 2015.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:43, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Silly capitalization dispute[edit]
@Jeh and Jim1138: This is a very minor/pedantic issue, but there seems to be a bit of disagreement about the capitalization of "counties" in, e.g., "Nassau and Suffolk Counties." One of you cited Chicago and AP in support of lowercasing "counties." However, CMoS 8.51 clearly states: "A generic term that is capitalized as part of the name of an official body remains capitalized when it is used in the plural to refer to two or more names and applies to both." The example "Lake and Cook Counties" is then supplied. The AP Stylebook (s.v. "county") adopts the opposite convention: "Lowercase plural combinations: Westchester and Rockland counties." Though silent on the issue, the Wikipedia MoS is principally influenced by Chicago, so I propose that we use the uppercase convention. JGambolputty (talk) 19:16, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
