Image:Village of Walden seal transparent.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I've read local coverage of the Hudson Highlands' clan (https://highlandscurrent.org/2017/08/25/looking-back-local-klan/) and a collection of Klan facts (https://www.factretriever.com/kkk-facts) and neither of them mention any presence of the KKK in Walden, certainly not "one of the largest." PBS' coverage of the 1920s klan is likewise void of any Walden activity (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/flood-klan/)

Does any one have evidence to suggest otherwise? I will be taking down the uncited remark until such proof can be presented. Gio, Jaime, James, or Shamus (talk) 18:01, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I added that one years ago when we weren't as demanding of citation as we are now. A coworker of mine had found the whole article in a Newburgh newspaper from the era on microfilm/fiche (can't remember), saying that the Klan gathering was "outside Walden" and that a speaker promised that the next U.S. president would be a member of the Klan (That might date it a bit; aren't there rumors that Harding secretly took the Klan oath in the White House shortly after being sworn in?). I saw it with my own eyes, but I wish I had taken note of the date and which newspaper (at the time Newburgh had several). Daniel Case (talk) 19:43, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, interesting. Newburgh does indeed have several papers--their online archives may offer an answer.Gio, Jaime, James, or Shamus (talk) 21:24, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looks some recent edits to this article have incompletely and inconsistently updated population, demographic, and population density statistics. These changes are poorly referenced, and also introduced visible referencing errors. I've cleaned up the errors, but the remaining material is in poor condition. Should the recent edits be reverted to the old data? Or should the unreferenced material be removed? -- Mikeblas (talk) 17:47, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Those are from the current census results from 2020. When I put them in I didn't have a lot of time (my goal has been to work on getting better citations in later), and basically the URL I put in is what gets you to the page where you can search around for the other data but there's no way yet to link directly to it.
