Famous people

I propose this is changed to read Notable residents, with the criteria for inclusion being at least an article on wikipedia - i.e. no red links - this will prevent random vanilisting - Tiswas^(t) 13:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. What else do you suggest doing to get the wikify tag removed that you have placed? Angrymansr 14:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{wikify}} tag removed as per WP:WFY. - Tiswas^(t) 08:53, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also removed non-notable listing - Tiswas^(t) 08:53, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The tag is still there. I will remove it. Angrymansr 14:17, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Three Stooges issue

The biographical entries for the Three Stooges listed under residents indicate Bensonhurst as their neighborhood rather than Brownsville. Needs checking or correction at this site or others....--Mjd60 12:27, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed this back in August but never posted about it here, just in the summary. The three stooges were in fact from Bensonhurst, not Brownsville. For any future editors who feel they need to be re-added here, please see http://www.threestooges.com/bios before doing so. Thanks Angrymansr (talk) 18:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Crime Stats

I believe that the crime stats listed in this article are quite outdated, perhaps by as much as 15 years. The 2006 murder count was only 22.24.188.4.146 03:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC)ZK[reply]

This is the most dangerous neighborhood in the universe, i've never seen anything worse. IF ANY ONE DOUBTS OR REFUTES THIS WALK ON PITKIN OR SUTTER AVENUE AFTER 1:00 AM. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.202.74.121 (talk) 23:37, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Only 22? You do realize Brownsville is only one square mile? Homicides may not be as high as they were at it's peak (100+ a year) during the crack epidemic but there is still a very significant number today. BTW it was 28 homicides within that square mile in 2007. Violent crime is still a very serious problem in the community. Wikiwiki718 (talk) 04:36, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Boundary of Brownsville

I am pretty positive Atlantic Avenue is the northern Boundary of Brownsville. North of East NY Avenue is Prospect Plaza which is always considered Brownsville.
