Question and fix[edit]

Is anyone sure of which 'George Clinton' is referred to in the text?

From the dates it looks likely to be George Clinton (vice president) although the actual context suggests it could be George Clinton (royal governor) - although this is probably not right due to the dates. The link given goes to a disambiguation page, so really needs to b e corrected, but I am not confident in selecting the correct target. -- Worm 12:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed the link to go to George Clinton (vice president) as that is the correct link.Marc29th 16:11, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Correction suggested[edit]

Since there are problems with this article (original research claim and severe lack of citations) that have gone unaddressed, I'm not going to mess with it. However, regarding the third paragraph where it says ". . .Colonel Snyder along with Colonel Levi Pawling threw up a hasty earthwork. . .", according to The early history of Saugerties, 1660-1825 (Volume 2) and various other places, transcribed at http://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/benjamin-myer-from-old-catalog-brink/the-early-history-of-saugerties-1660-1825-volume-2-nir/page-19-the-early-history-of-saugerties-1660-1825-volume-2-nir.shtml , the Colonel's name is ALBERT Pawling. He was the commanding officer of Pawling's Regiment, a member of the Levies. His first name wasn't Levi.

It would be good to see the article come into focus after the editors perform the requested changes and include their citations. Thanks, Wordreader (talk) 06:13, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So far, the editors who wrote this article have not inserted their references and ciations. Please do so!

I have identifed some "weasel words" that need attention; refer to these wikipages for instruction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words#Unsupported_attributions and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Embrace_weasel_words. I deleted the phrase "of course" from paragraph 3, changing the sentence from opinion into fact (if it is so, because I can't tell for sure without citations).
