Which George W. Perkins?
The link for George W. Perkins takes you to a dab page (via a redirect), which lists two possible ultimate targets:

George Walbridge Perkins (1862–1920), the vice-president of New York Life Insurance Company. George W. Perkins (television producer), an American film and television producer.

I'm guessing it's the first one, but does anybody know for sure? -- RoySmith (talk) 22:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, never mind. It's got to be the first one, from the dates.  -- RoySmith (talk) 22:24, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

Propose move from "Wave Hill (New York)" to "Wave Hill". Wave Hill is a primary topic. There are no other wikipedia articles using that name except for two redirects. The disambiguating "(New York)" is therefore unnecessary. I've created a hatnote here and Wave Hill (disambiguation) for the existing redirects. Station1 (talk) 19:51, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Works for me -- RoySmith (talk) 20:06, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Support, but see Wave Hill (disambiguation) for other possible uses. Alansohn (talk) 20:52, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Queen Elizabeth
As a lifelong Bronxite, I used to drive around that area of Riverdale frequently- winding streets, beautiful homes (like UN dude U Thant) and I remember NYPD around the estate. The cops always said that Wave Hill was Queen Elizabeth's NYC "home" when She was in NYC. Can anybody verify?Dcrasno (talk) 02:24, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The article says that "chief members of the British delegation to the United Nations" lived there. If the Queen was going to be in town, it would seem to make sense for her to be put up by British diplomats. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:32, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
