Dubious elevation

Currently the info box says

Lowest elevation (Sea level (at the Hudson River)) 0 ft (0 m)

I'm deleting this because its location on the Hudson River is not at sea level (if it were, the river would not flow to the sea). Hopefully someone can find a source with the correct info (and check if the figure for highest elevation is correct). Loraof (talk) 19:11, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

I noticed 2 feet as its lowest elevation. The Poughkeepsie article states a zero elevation, so there seems to be a pattern of using the river as a zero datum. 68.196.165.94 (talk) 01:10, 6 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

American express

new to Wikipedia so please excuse me if this is bad etiquette.

this article says American Express was founded in Albany. but the AmEx Wikipedia page and their website says either NYC or Buffalo depending on what you consider the founding

the sentence re AmEx in this article has a reference but the link takes me to a Google books that isn't viewable / at least it didn't load for me. so it might exist but I couldn't verify that.

so I'm not sure what to do? Feyhop (talk) 22:34, 15 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
