Strange citation
The source for the geography of Algiers Point is an article about a completely unverified 'race war.' This should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.244.80.7 (talk) 01:47, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Vanity link?
This article has a number of footnotes and citations, but there was one at the bottom that wasn't attached to any text. It was just a footnote number floating in the middle of nowhere, which doesn't make any sense, and it appeared to me to be a vanity link or something approaching that, so I went ahead and removed it. It was to AlgiersPoint.us, which looks to me like a haphazardly-assembled page full of ads (one of them for a political candidate) and miscellaneous links -- some commercial, some not. -- Lorrette 01:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
algierspoint.us
http://algierspoint.us is a useful list of sites related to Algiers Point. The links are updated often, and it might be (or will be) the most comprehensive list of websites/businesses actually located in The Point. So I went ahead and put the link back.
Pronunciation
Someone who lives down in "N'awlins" or knows how the locals pronounce it, please add a pronunciation in parenthesis after the name at the beginning. It looks like it should be pronounced "AL JEERS" but you never know with place names. They don't pronounce the name of their own city as it appears in text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raftman1979 (talk • contribs) 15:19, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Paragraph about vigilantism
Wow. The paragraph under the heading "Assaults of victims of Hurricane Katrina" is really lame. If someone would like to contribute a section about the controversy following Hurricane Katrina, by all means they should write it intelligently, dispassionately and NPOV. — Muffuletta (talk) 03:57, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I agree. The citation is a dead link, making this already suspect addition completely unreliable. I move to strike it from the article entirely. --Florida Is Hell (talk) 20:25, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
Racist Post
Reffering to Europeans Americans as just "white". And they did not shoot with impunity. Wake up and see that the Africans shoot more people with impunity, they shot people to rob them, not like in this neighborhood where it was for protection.
