Largest settlement
editIn 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)
