Cypress Hills Cemetery, Brooklyn → Cypress Hills Cemetery (New York City) – This cemetery straddles Cypress Hills, Brooklyn and Glendale, Queens in New York City, and apparently has not only lots of lands in each borough, but entrances on both sides. Closeapple (talk) 18:05, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Move for reasons stated, but new name should be Cypress Hills Cemetery, New York City, for consistency with naming conventions. --Orlady (talk) 03:39, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Promo?
Exactly whom was John Vandenberg trying to promote when, years ago, he added this photo with it's full caption, now chopped off? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 08:37, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Sw. You have admitted COI with Jacob. Reaction like you do now when I am rinsing up the promotional of him you have done (Ops one place someone else who did not know about you happened to do what you have done too. Sorry John.) If you understood what it means to admit COI you would let this and all the promo photos be and move on. Adville (talk) 09:12, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I already looked at this photo and it is the only free image of Mae West's tomb I could find and so long as the Demitz article exists it is better to leave it as it is. If the Demitz article is deleted then the name can legitimately removed as the person featured does not have their page here but until then there is no point in removing it I believe.

 * Thank you! Kindly reinstate the name then, until such time. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 22:56, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
 * PS I still don't understand whom John Vandenberg (then an admin & arbitrator at enWP) was trying to promote. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 22:58, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Dont understand English? Your have COI SW so you very well know. I apologized John that one of all the promotion edits with your friend that you have done (and there are a lot you have done here in "Good faith even if YOU know you sould not edit about friends) happened to be from an inocent editor. By focusing like you do in this you clearly shows you have no intention to stop writing about LARS JACOB because you try to show that I and Domdeparis was wrong. You have admitted you did wrong.

 * You do not have to. He can read himself here. Adville (talk) 07:40, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * What is important in the caption that it is Mae West's tomb. The fact that it is Demitz who is looking at it adds absolutely nothing to photo but it doesn't detract anything either. That said it is not necessary to identify people in a photo unless they are linked to the article as per WP:CAP and succinctness is important (using no superfluous or needless words). Cropping might be useful but as Demitz is standing too close to the tomb it might change the visual balance. You could possibly change the text to something like "A fan visiting Mae West's tomb" which would explain why this person is here as one might wonder who the gentleman is. His relevance to Mae West is found nowhere on Wikipedia I believe and this would probably provide more context than the original text. Domdeparis (talk) 12:30, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Changed it like that. Adville (talk) 12:39, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The question seems to have been solved as the article on Demitz has been deleted. Domdeparis (talk) 14:12, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Some errors
The interboro parkway was not being constructed in 1902, lol. There was talk of a road through the cemeteries for decades but it was not built until the 1930s. Also, the landfill scandal erupted into the open in 1995 but began simmering 2 years earlier. The news story cited here was written in 1998, as follow-up stories involving final disposition of some legal issues. 98.13.230.89 (talk) 04:41, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
