See User talk:Shakescene#Census. The footnote about Bronx inclusion before 1898 just muddles thing further. The table should be reworked before possible restoration in some form. Tag: Reverted

There's surely a place for those details in the NYC Climate subarticle, but it's too much information for the reader seeking a general picture of this topic among many, many others. We may have to start a Talk Page discussion.

- 05:1105:11, 30 December 2023 diff hist −29 New York City →Climate: The small table at the top gives useful information for the general reader. But the big weatherbox that I'm deleting is too detailed and non-intuitive for the general reader (so many bright boxes that general readers like me are deterred from starting to explore it); it properly belongs in the specialized NYC Climate subarticle.
- 05:0205:02, 30 December 2023 diff hist +2,250 New York City Undid revision 1192581189 by Nikkimaria (talk) This table is standard in U.S. city & state articles, and answers general-interest questions from those who might not dive into the subarticle. However much of this section's text needs editing and summarizing (with referral to the subarticles) because mentioning ethnic group A will generate aiddtionst about groups B, C, D & E, which in turn will bring in text about groups F, G,..etc. Tag: Undo

ON THE OTHER HAND, I'd have no objection to adding a parenthetical "{of the United Kingdom)" [outside the wikilink] for the same reason, clarity Tags: Undo Reverted
