Boundaries make no sense

If you look at the boundaries indicated here on the map, Saratoga could only be the Eastern boundary and, if it is, East New York and Van Sinderen intersect at basically the same spot east of there.

I've only heard of this neighborhood a little, but I don't think this article accurately captures it.

Here's how Street Easy describes it, with Atlantic Avenue as the southern border.

Part of Bedford Stuyvestant?

I don't believe this is accurate, and the sourcing is not clear in the article. Can someone clarify? ScottyBerg (talk) 16:42, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Most ppl that live in Brooklyn, consider area apart of Brownsville, especially the southern portion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.62.148 (talk) 22:46, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Citations and Sources Needed

There are a few statements in this article that are made without any supporting evidence or citations to other sources. Although I am new to Wikipedia editing, I am not new to scientific publishing, and these statements would not make it past an editor. I am not sure how to flag the ones I think need support, but I will paste two of them here, hoping that someone can chime in and give some advice:

> By the late 1960s Ocean Hill and Bedford-Stuyvesant proper together formed the largest African American community in the United States.

Is this from 1970 Census data? Where does this claim come from?

> Ocean Hill is in the process of gentrification. An increasing number of people of various ethnicities are moving into the area due to slightly lower rent prices in Brownsville^[1] and eastern Crown Heights, within which Ocean Hill is located.

This might have been true in 2013 when the cited article was written, although that article does not have any supporting sources either, but it is six years later. I would rewrite it to say that in 2013 it was in the process of gentrification, according to the cited article.
