History of Briarcliff Manor
- ... that Briarcliff Manor in New York was founded in 1902, over 200 years after its settlement?
- ALT1:... that in the history of Briarcliff Manor, the village has hosted three automobile races?
- ALT2:... that it cost the New York Department of Transportation $900,000 to repair a sinkhole in Briarcliff Manor?
- ALT3:... that in 1902, Walter Law funded schools, churches, and parks, turning Briarcliff Manor from farmland to a small village?
- ALT4:... that in the history of Briarcliff Manor, its fire trucks have always been white?
- Reviewed: Kolejka (game)
Improved to Good Article status by Ɱ (talk). Self nominated at 20:50, 11 December 2014 (UTC).
- Comment Review pending 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:56, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- Note: The first hook is using a piped link that on the surface looks the same as the redirect to Briarcliff Manor, New York. Yoninah (talk) 00:20, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Another note: The quirky hooks are my favorite. Please note that there needs to be an inline cite (at the end of the sentence in question) for ALT4. Yoninah (talk) 00:24, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hm, I don't know why there isn't one; I mention it again in Briarcliff Manor Fire Department and cite it there. Fixed.--ɱ (talk · vbm) 00:41, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

- @7&6=thirteen: Did you look at the site I supposedly plagiarized from? Are you aware that sites plagiarize Wikipedia? Here's a link to the site: (link). Notice that the linked site says "Posted on 19 October 2014". I had that all written in the History of Briarcliff Manor article on May 4, 2014 and at User:Ɱ/sandbox7 as early as January 2014. I wrote everything from scratch, so honestly it's insulting that the poor "Bitlanders.com" website (that didn't even bother to remove the citations or links to make it look less pasted-out-of-Wikipedia) had you now worried that I stole from it.--ɱ (talk · vbm) 21:14, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
