3 notable racial incidents to add to the history section:
editThere's a source in the article somewhere to support 3 notable racial incidents to add to the history section: 1. Attempt to keep Addisleigh Park whites-only (court case) 2. Cross-burning near Jackie Robinson's block (newspaper clipping http://saintalbansqueens.wordpress.com/current-news/cross-burning-1952/ ) 3. block-busting done by real estate agents to increase their sales numbers by speeding up white-flight.(http://books.google.ca/books?id=HZ3XCz-LrngC&pg=PA120&vq=albans&dq=albans&source=gbs_search_s&cad=5&sig=W9Wmo_VMRYZ7LcBS5MMvhwKo7ts#v=onepage&q=albans&f=false 5 places in book - has all 3 incidents) --JimWae (talk) 20:43, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Suddenly, upon reading the last sentence, the real-estate and banking carnage of 2008AD makes perfect sense. It was a strategy to destroy the next "rising demographic" of minority home-buyers and to disenfranchise renters and the small businesses. As effected particularly African Americans locally in NYC, the added parameter, and expected projections of the the then newly-retiring strata of "Baby Boomers", plus the financial, and banking "blow-out" ensured that there would not be no replacement pool of employees to fill the void of the retired, as many businesses couldn't immediately get refinanced, or went closed it doors, and city, state, and federal agencies were in turmoil, further rolling back expected employment slots. The sub-prime scam was also timed and planned to this outcome. The overall effect was a massive wave of evictions, foreclosures, with no "safety nets, save for the bankers, which Obama generously supplied. In St. Albans case more narrowly, this is what happened!!! --65.88.88.253 (talk) 19:11, 31 May 2014 (UTC)Veryverser
Orphaned references in St. Albans, Queens
editI check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of St. Albans, Queens's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:01, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
