Suggested Category addition

There seems to oversight in that the category 'Category:Jewish American attorneys' is conspicuously missing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:3970:EDA0:AD02:9518:4703:5016 (talk) 02:38, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

We already have Category:Jewish American politicians and Category:Lawyers from New York City, so I'm not quite sure why Category:Jewish American attorneys is necessary. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:31, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Why do categories exist? To catalogue and make searchable through a review of the category. Categories are discrete, searchable databases and ought to be independent of each other, not a Cliff Notes version of the article, or nah? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:3970:EDA0:B96B:31F4:D988:B3A0 (talk) 03:59, 10 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

So this ought to be taken out, right? Makes the whole thing seem terribly slanted. 192.160.131.22 (talk) 21:38, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yes. I see it was already removed by User:Sandstein. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:25, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

"Brown Slave"

When will the article take note of this "Ex: Schneiderman called me ‘brown slave,’ slapped me until I called him ‘Master’" https://nypost.com/2018/05/07/ex-schneiderman-called-me-his-brown-slave-would-slap-me-until-i-called-him-master/ --105.8.1.208 (talk) 22:11, 10 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Content deleted by Chris troutman about Schneiderman's 2010 hit and run being questioned by the media in 2018

Latest comment: 6 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Chris troutman deleted these eleven words in the section about the 2010 election:

He denied being involved in a hit and run in July.^[1]^[2]^[3]

This got deleted even though it showed up in the The New York Times.^[4] Oh well, showing up in the «newspaper of record» as well as all other major Big Apple newspapers^[5]^[6] and magazines^[7] about a New York State Senator who represented Manhattan and the Bronx is apparently now WP:UNDUE?

Obviously, this has become now relevant again insofar as Crain's New York Business (cited above), NY1,^[8] City Journal^[9] have again raised the issue now, in 2018, eight years later. But hey, maybe we ought to save 11 words of server space! XavierItzm (talk) 22:33, 15 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

@XavierItzm: The issue is not if the incident were true or it was in a reliable source. The issue is that you're giving it undue coverage. I'm not tying to protect the subject but the subject has been a target of vandalism. Suffice to say that I have no respect for your edit history. Chasing "news" is always a bad idea.
