799:. On page 10 where is says background for the neighborhood it says, "By the 1980s Washington Heights and Inwood had the largest concentration of Dominicans in the country," specifically citing the NYC Encyclopedia. But on that page in the encyclopedia it literally doesn't say that, it says that the areas of greatest concentration include Washington Heights but are also the Bronx, Corona, etc. There's definitely a lot of I guess tertiary sources like the Holyrood Church report that repeat the claim, but I haven't found an original secondary source that does. If one does exist it would have to have some criteria for how it determines the "largest community" or "largest concentration." 245:, feel free to do whatever. I actually just removed an image that I had added because I realized it wasn't necessary. It is a bit hard for me to know what the article will look like to the reader on desktop (on mobile the image pretty much takes up the whole screen width before the paragraph so that's fairly simple) because I actually edit on mobile but with the desktop interface because the mobile editor is so bad. So how it looks to me while I'm editing is pretty much not how it will look for anyone else. Anyway thanks for the message! 190:! Yeah, that makes perfect sense to have a redirect. However (I might be completely wrong about this because I am pretty new here) whenever I have seen the boldface text in other articles it's always for the thing the article is about, usually like other names for the article's topic. Also it does seem weird to have a big boldface for something that, while I'm sure is very interesting, doesn't make sense to be boldfaced more than anything else in the article that has a redirect. 939: 338: 593: 838: 542: 225:
Just a note to let you know that I'm rather fussy about image layouts in articles that I have a special interest in. That doesn't necessarily mean you should stop adding images, but please do be aware that at some point articles can get overloaded with images. It does mean that at some point i will

Hmm... I see what you mean, and don't worry as I haven't actually started on it yet or anything. However it is a pretty old school and for that reason has been mentioned in several sources on Washington Heights for its role at the center of conflicts over desegregation & community control in the

I nominated a couple hooks for consideration. I guess it's worth seeing what the reviewer likes the most. Sadly the fact about having the US's largest Dominican community isn't in the article (and I found a few sources that indicate the Bronx might actually be larger, depending on how you count). I

Yes, I know that problem, which I why I keep a number of browsers on my computer so I can see how the article looks under different circumstance. I also sign out and see what someone without an account will see, and cign back in and change the "skin" to see how that effects it. All that stuff.

Yep you got it, I didn't put it in the article because I couldn't really find a decent source that would say it. Here's an example: the NYC Landmarks reports are usually very well researched, one of the most recent ones that I used for the religion section is this:
