Talk:Fishkill (town), New York

Question about the map: Isn't Beacon part of Fishkill?

The map shows the village of Beacon as if it's excluded enclave from Fishkill town. I don't know specifically about Fishkill, but from my experience growing up on Long Island, villages in New York usually remain part of the town in which they are incorporated within. (This is different than where I live now, in Virginia, where cities are enclaves, removed from counties as they are incorporated, and there are no "towns.")

No it is not. Beacon is a city, entirely seperate from Fishkill Serafart (talk) (contributions) 03:33, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you

Whoever fixed the reference error, my thanks. However, I feel my item was incorrectly renamed "history." History should be reserved for such things as facts about its founding, significant events which occurred in the town, etc. This piece of trivia about PETA hardly qualifies as history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mfwills (talk • contribs) 15:06, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia's position on trivia is that it should be integrated with relevant sections where possible. As trivial as this may seem, it's part of Fishkill's history, and creating a separate section for it would be bad from an organizational standpoint. When I was writing the article for Rosendale Village, most of what I found could be considered trivia. It's how we connect disparate events together that creates a comprehensive, accurate History. --Gyrobo (talk) 16:28, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I view history as something happening (a single event, a series of events, or a development over a period of time) which significantly affects anything from the town to the world or does something to affect the reputation of the town in either direction. This PETA episode neither happened in the town nor did it have any effect but to annoy or perhaps amuse people for a brief time. At the same time, someone writing a history of Fishkill would probably mention it. In the end, I don't know that I necessarily agree with the position, but I'm not the one making policy, so I will abide by it.--Mfwills (talk) 21:58, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
