Why? Why should the pre 1776 sections go to the larger New York State article instead of this smaller one? Jim.henderson ( talk) 23:02, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
The topic of loyalists is now covered twice in the article - just a few paragraphs apart from each other. NEITHER has any citations. Reading the article you'd think there was little history to the state except the history of loyalists & Indians during the revolution -- JimWae ( talk) 04:31, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
The topic needs to be dealt with once - the history does not have to stay completely chronological - and sources are needed. The AR section & the following one could be combined - they aren't even properly chronological now. The article presently overlooks major events in NY from 1750-1793. It was only a few days ago I added the battles paragraph. This article is NOT a major interest for me - but the concentrations I see, present an unbalanced summary of the period. Where is any mention of NYC being the capital? of it being held by the British during ARW? -- JimWae ( talk) 05:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I'm not the one who split off the New York colonial articles but I think it's a good idea. On the whole the large History of Virginia article is superior to this one and its two colonial children, but I don't think the colonial separation is part of the problem, and Virginia's, respectfully, would be even better with its colonial section split off and only a brief summary left behind. Of course, knowing little of Virginia, I won't escalate this suggestion into a recommendation, but as for New York I think we'll more stick to improving the organization and contents of the various articles than try consolidating them. And thank you for your suggestion; it's always pleasant to get another point of view. Jim.henderson ( talk) 21:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
well when I was seaching up New York history. When I realized that one thing about was the Dutch sold things to the indiansywas worth 24 dollars. The Dutch named the land Newnetherlandz Mekhi Thompkins —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.164.143.22 ( talk) 00:32, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
General comments: this article seems a bit disjointed and certainly episodic; there's no narrative flow in the social, political, and economic histories, particularly in the varied (and overlapping) phases of Iroquoian, Dutch, and English influences and how they shaped the patterns of land ownership, use, and migration within the state. I started thinking about editing particular sections but after contemplating where to start I think it rather needs a complete facelift by a sole author to set the narrative tone (and I'm not the expert required to do this properly). FWIW. MariaMitchell ( talk) 18:36, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
Two sections have empty subsections. When you click to edit them, they have nothing but the titles. I need help on what I can put in these sections. Globalearth 02 April 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Globalearth ( talk • contribs) 21:34, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Just finished a major copyedit based on a request to the Guild of copy editors. A couple of points:

Is it legally possible to discover in 1524 (French), and claim in 1609 (Dutch) rights for a part of a land, in this case New York as a part of the American continent, America being discovered as a whole in 1492 by another nation? -The issue may have deep consequences in the legal background for some historical facts, even when president Bush II said that he had no idea about what international law can be, and promised to ask his lawyer about this. In questions about legal rights, you just can't go Dutch.-- Jgrosay ( talk) 14:11, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Any interest in creating a Timeline of New York article? A few other US states have timelines (see Category:Timelines of states of the United States). Here are some sources:

If you know New York State history you may have heard of Robert Harpur, who is responsible for most of the classical place names in central New York State: Cicero, Homer, Ovid, Virgil, Brutus, Manlius, and many others.
I created Category:Classical place names in New York (state). I thought that someone looking at say, Cicero, New York, might learn something useful from the category listing at the bottom, and it would be useful to have them all in one place.
Now, howevet, this category has been proposed for deletion. I would appreciate support from anyone who thinks it is useful. The discussion is here: [ [1]]. Thanks for any help. deisenbe ( talk) 14:39, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
