In popular culture
As discussed at WP:IPC, and as it is my understanding is the general practice at many articles here that incorporate such sections, when adding "in popular culture" items secondary sourcing should be provided establishing that the references are significant in some manner. We do not need an indiscriminate list of occurrences of Fort Tryon Park in films; rather we should focus on scenarios where the occurrence received notice from independent sources. Additionally the current listings make claims that should be verifiable via references. DonIago (talk) 20:28, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * YOur understand is incorreect. Popcult entries which are straightforward description are, in fact, sourced by the media item (book, film, etc) which they refer to.  Only those which stray into interpretation or analysis need to be sourced. BMK (talk) 21:15, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks like we'll need to hear from other editors so we can get a consensus one way or the other. DonIago (talk) 22:05, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Copy editing
I reverted the "copy edits" made by Baffle gab 1978 since, in general, they did not improve the article. Not only did they reduce the quality of the prose to a level I would expect to find on Simple English Wikipedia, but some of the changes were actually incorrect grammatically. These edits should not be restored unless there is a consensus here that they improve the article. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:07, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't go quite that far, but I do agree with the reversion. A few of the changes were harmless, but many were indeed incorrect. More importantly, subtle changes in meaning were introduced, or outright errors such as changing the location of Ft. George, or substituting "United Kingdom" for "Great Britain".

 * Thanks for the replies. I've asked to cancel the copyedit request. I should've discussed with you first, but as it happens, I forgot about that. I wanted to potentially bring this up to a higher quality later, maybe even match the featured article quality of the Cloisters. So that's why I wanted a second opinion.
 * , sorry for wasting your time. I generally think your edits are good, but it does seem that some of the edits are incorrect, which I had intended to fix afterward. epicgenius (talk) 14:19, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * If copy edits are improvements, there should be no need to correct them. Simply put, copy edits which need to be corrected are bad copy edits.  I would suggest to Baffle gab that they find another line of work. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:35, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * , I was trying to fix the references, but I see you've reverted these edits. I have fixed these refs again, but kept the previous wording. epicgenius (talk) 18:12, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * All good. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:38, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
