Changes

Fixed reference to location in respect to Rochester (corrected data per Township of Brighton), and eliminated two dead & unneccesary links -- i.e. to word "school" and something else. Eliminated sup for "th" as generally not used. Fleshed paragraph a bit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by OrangeFluffyCat (talk • contribs) 15:38, 10 October 2003 (UTC)[reply]

Notable residents

User:67.51.177.214's claim regarding "Alex Davis" is not supported by the article on White House Chief of Staff. Google search produces nothing either. Please post proof or retract. --DanielPenfield 21:29, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the Google search is evidence enough for this being a hoax. I just removed a similar one the other day. I'm removing this one too. Powers 04:57, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also under Notable resdients, there should be Linda Sue Park, a Newberry winning children's author. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.101.125.243 (talk) 00:06, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Land/water area

The rounding makes these numbers look funny. I did my best to make it look reasonable by putting two significant digits for the water area. Here are the raw numbers:

land: 40.061 km²
water: 0.444 km²

Changes to clarify local jurisdiction

Removed "and census-designated place" from lead sentence. A census-designated place is a term that is generally used for a local geographic area that is not a legally distinct local jurisdiction and does not have a local government. A census-designated place is also sometimes referred-to as an "unincorporated community". The Town of Brighton, on the other hand, is a legally constituted municipality, and has a distinct municipal government. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.73.213.182 (talk) 18:40, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was Merge.

I propose merging Brighton (CDP), New York into this article. The CDP is exactly coterminous with the town, meaning all of the statistics are identical. One can simply note one time within this article that the entire town is also a CDP. Any suggestions? Ken Gallager (talk) 15:55, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support The CDP article is redundant and no information would be lost by incoprorating its lead section into this one and redirecting it. Rocfan275 (talk) 13:27, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Btw, I notice that the same situation applies for the town of Irondequoit, where there already is a single article. Ken Gallager (talk) 14:44, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
