New daughter articles  I chopped up a lot of the opinion minor incidents potentially POV items superfluous background info biographies of relatives etc into daughter articles per the work on Eliot Spitzer This leaves the article at k which should provide ample room to add info about his role as Governor      Electoral history of David Paterson  I added the merge tags I think this article would benefit from the other articles information and that the existence of the other article by itself is superfluous     Keep no merge the guy was in the state leg for  years elected every two years theres room to grow in the new daughter article Electoral history of David Paterson  And this main article will certainly grow greatly now that he has almost  years as governor coming up     Keep no merge I would have to agree I think the electoral history sections really clutter some of the political biographies there is precedent with major figures for having it in a daughter article     Sounds good to me Ill remove the tags      Hempstead  Copy of post at  Hempstead village New York is not the same as Town of Hempstead New York The former is within the latter the intros to both articles explain the difference The town of Hempstead in this case functions much like a county would most other places in the country   The school systems in that area are not countywide or even townwide They are typically individual relatively small fiefdoms I grew up in the town but not village of Hempstead my school system had  schools  high school  middle and  elementary Over  years later it is the same   I have issues with both of those articles in terms of factual accuracy but the basic geopolitical framework they lay out is correct The idea that Paterson might be the first disabled student in Hempstead schools is not so farfetched Im not saying it is true and Im not saying it isntand I saw your note that the cite didnt support it so it is appropriate to at least ask for a reference I just thought Id provide a little background info on why it might actually be true Havent checked for cites but someone did provide more info I think  Regards      Copied here by       So which is it town or village     The schools are in the Village of Hempstead the smaller unit Heres its site but theres very little about the schools There is enough to confirm theres only one high school in the Village of Hempstead They do claim to be the largest village in NY with  people for whatever that is worth     Hmm Regular google is not promising only reprints of this wikipedia article and the news archive does not find anything to support it either However I was able to find one recent story from Christian Science Monitor reprinted in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle which supports the claim but Im not sure if the author got their information from Wikipedia as it is uncited Perhaps someone could place a call into the school I know it would violate WPOR but we could cite it using the Christian science monitor article and and know its accurate by verifying it ourselves    On a separate issue I think we should mention integration in the early life section and expand on it in detail in the early life article     My own feeli
