 * Symbol question.svg Size and date is fine. Part of the facts are cited: That Netanya is named after Nathan Straus, and that Nathan Straus was co-owner of Macy’s, both of these verified in references. The fact that Straus street is named in honor of Nathan Straus is not cited directly after the claim, and can not be found in the next reference. Spot checks with DuplicationDetector did not reveal any problems. Oceanh (talk) 22:51, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. The ref was at the very end of the paragraph. I moved it up. BTW, the name "Nathan Straus Street" is on the street sign in the lead-off picture. Yoninah (talk) 00:45, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
