Talk:Camp Upton

Query
I'm looking for information on Camp Upton that I simply cannot seem to find. My grandfather was stationed there as WW2 wound down and was placed in charge of rehabituating returning soldiers. I'm looking for information on where that level of information can be found. If info on Camp Upton based GI's can be found - such as a list of people who were stationed there during which years - would it be appropriate to include it? 192.155.59.254 (talk) 18:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * A list of names wouldn't be quite appropriate, but a link to such a resource would be good. As you probably know, Camp Upton is now Brookhaven National Laboratory. You might try their Visitor Center at (631) 344-3333 or their General Info Hotline (631) 344-4636 (dial 9 for BNL information). – ClockworkSoul 23:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Accuracy.
Until I removed them, the article had several (good) sources describing the camp’s use as an internment center which described the national makeup of the internees - mostly european citizens, and all enemy aliens. I removed them because they were being used to make a claim which they did not support: that the camp’s full capacity was used to intern American citizens of Japanese ancestry. One remaining paywalled source from the New York Daily News is now remaining to support the claim. Could someone with better visibility to it take a look?

 * Confirmed, no mention of Camp Upton occupancy in Daily News article. Dan Bloch (talk) 20:02, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I was finally able to open another NYDN cite; the caption to photo 15 in the gallery stated that it had held interned Japanese citizens. So, the article had at least four, count ‘em, four anticites. Jayzus. Qwirkle (talk) 20:52, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
