I just deleted the parts of the article about the lottery ticket, beef on wicks, and the witch buried in the cemetery. The lottery ticket really isn't that important, the beef on wick thing wasn't necessarily true (there isn't a place in Allegany that serves the sandwich) and I'm pretty sure the witch thing is not true as well. When I was a kid we used to say it was a warlock buried so I'm guessing that it is only a myth.

NY Lotto is the biggest ripoff in the world anyway. Only 40% of sales is used for prizes (v 50% in Mega Millions. 216.179.123.146 23:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

--Response-- I reverted the edit, removing the above topics until a discussion occurs in the talk. The anon user states that beef on wick isn't served in Allegany, but that is not true, Allegany is the only place I have ever had it. The witch thing I have also heard is a myth so I don't contest that point. DCwom 12:45, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Re --Response-- I am the anon user who commented above, and as a person from Allegany I would wonder where in Allegany you got a beef on wick. When people in Allegany want a that type of sandwich they go to a restaurant called Beef and Barrel in Olean. While it may be true that there is a restaurant in Allegany serves it (maybe Randy's up the River?) it is not a type of cuisine that people in Allegany prefer over other local/regional dishes like wings and fish fries. I just don't see how it merits being on the wikipedia page. 71.236.252.128 01:02, 13 May 2007 (UTC)biggoergen

Re Re --Response-- I admit I have only had Beef & Wick at group gatherings in Allegany, but it is ubiquous amonst the people I know in Allegany, as are the "fish fries". As an out of towner (I married an Alleganian) Beef & Wick has always been a defining dish for the area. DCwom 13:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Anyway, the beef on wick and witch claims are not verifiable, so I think they should be taken off the page. 71.193.128.178 18:31, 17 May 2007 (UTC)biggoergen

Orphaned references in Allegany (town), New York
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Allegany (town), New York's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "USCensusEst2018": From Foster Township, McKean County, Pennsylvania:  From Allegany County, New York:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:14, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
