Yonkers, New York


I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to hear feedback on how the article is so far before considering any further steps. I did list this article for a similar peer review, but I have since then made changes to the article. I welcome new feedback on how the article looks since the changes were made to it following the previous peer review.

Hello, The Cadillac Ranger. I just submitted an article for peer review myself, and I came across this request as I was trying to see how I could alleviate the backlog.

I am interested in geography in general and the New York City metropolitan area specifically. Therefore, I am definitely willing to leave some comments to help this peer review be successful. My actual feedback will come shortly; this message is simply to indicate that intent. AndrewPeterT (talk) (contribs) 18:58, 1 June 2024 (UTC)


 * To start off, I want to discuss some issues from the last peer review that I feel may not have been adequately resolved:
 * There are still some paragraphs with no citations at all, namely:
 * In the Northwest Yonkers section, the paragraph starting with
 * In the Southwest Yonkers section, the paragraph starting with
 * In the Government section, the paragraph starting with
 * In the Roads and paths section, the paragraph starting with
 * Were you able to archive all of your sources using IA Bot? I am unfamiliar with this software, so a simple "yes" will suffice to address my concern.
 * Please let me know when you have implemented all of these changes. I would be happy to then give you additional input.

 * Hello AndrewPeterT, as a update, I have done added a source to the section about the retail area and the two-block section of Palisade Avenue between Chase and Roberts Avenues in the Northwest Yonkers section. I also managed to archive the sources using that IA Bot feature and tried it for the first time.
 * However, I do have a question. Where can I find a source about the limited-access roads in the Roads and paths section? I came across this source and I'm not sure if it's a good source to use. Do you think I should use it or should I find a different source to use? The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 06:23, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the updates. With respect to your sourcing question, I am familiar with AARoads. There is a lot of user-generated content on that website. In general, Wikipedia discourages websites where people can add their own content as sources.
 * As an alternative, I would encourage you to cite information from websites such as the State of New York's Department of Transportation's. That being said, for now, so that there is at least a citation of some type, I do not see why you would not be able to use the AARoads source in the article.

 * Hi AndrewPeterT, another update: I added two more sources in the government section. I also found this source as a potentially better alternative source. Do you think that Cornell source would be a good fit for the section about the limited-access roads? The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 19:04, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the additional updates. With respect to your Cornell source, the citation would be a good fit in the limited-access roads section. That being said, I will note that Rumsey Road is the only parkway the Cornell reference explicitly mentions to be within the City of Yonkers. AndrewPeterT (talk) (contribs) 22:29, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi AndrewPeterT, another update, I added two sources for the limited access roads section. The Cornell source does mention Ramsey Road but it also mentions the Saw Mill, Cross Country, and Sprain Brook parkways. I also added another source for that section that mainly focuses on the Bronx River Parkway as the Cornell source only mentions how the Sprain Brook Parkway connects with it. I also added a source to the Southwest Yonkers section about migrants in the area using reference 88. The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 18:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
