Largest settlement

In the infobox, we currently list Hempstead, New York (<1 million people) as the largest settlement on the island. By population Brooklyn (2,736,074 people) and Queens (2,405,464) are each larger. Shouldn't we list Brooklyn in the infobox as the largest settlement on the island? — Mhawk10 (talk) 23:59, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Long Island vs NYC

Locals attribute Brooklyn and Queens to be considered part of New York City and not Long Island. Long Island proper is considered to be Nassau and Suffolk Counties only. 68.198.161.28 (talk) 02:27, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
