# Talk:Sonia Sotomayor

I removed her being a woman or colour as she is quite clearly a white woman, Hispanic/Latino is not a race and woman of colour refers to a non white person or someone of European descent.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Famaja (talk • contribs) 23:52, 14 June 2022 (UTC) 

Good question. Why is she considered a person of color and the 1st Latino appointed to the Supreme Court? Wouldn’t that be Benjamin Cardozo who had Portuguese ancestry? According to Wikipedia he would fall into the category as Hispanic/Latino. Hispanic and Latino (ethnic categories)#:~:text=Since the 2000 Census, the,in their definition of Hispanic. What is this criteria for falling into a “person of color” category? 217.180.214.91 (talk) 22:00, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
As far as Cardozo goes, the article goes into details about it in Footnote a. Did you read it? The edit in question was reverted almost immediately without controversy. Are there reliable sources that identify her as "white"? Magidin (talk) 22:23, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not based on the erroneous opinions of random editors. Reliable sources say that you are wrong about both who counts as a woman of color and whether Sotomayor is one, so your action was completely unwarranted. "Hispanic/Latino is not a race" is a ridiculous strawman ... being a person of color is not determined by belonging to one "race" or another. 2600:8802:5913:1700:3199:B544:3C27:BC77 (talk) 07:14, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Greetings Wikipedians! I'm surprised there's no mention of her dissenting opinion in Donald Trump vs. USA (July 1, 2024). It's a landmark case, according to Wikipedia. I'll volunteer to draft some text on this, Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 12:45, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Are you still working on this? I noticed today there's no mention either, a strange oversight in my opinion. 162.222.63.62 (talk) 11:20, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

I understand how a lead section of an article has to have its summary. But, adding the entire early life section in the lead, is something to look into. I would propose removing the early life details from the lead. Mentioning that she was born in New York, three times, does not sit well and reduces the quality of the article.

The entire early life section is not in the lead, and in an article that long, mentioning her birthplace three times (lead, early life, infobox) is nowhere near excessive. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:16, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Eh? The lead is everything prior to the "Early Life" header (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section), and that lead is certainly excessive here. 2600:8802:5913:1700:3199:B544:3C27:BC77 (talk) 07:52, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

It should be noted that Sotomayor leaked the dobbs decision and was never held accountable 2603:6010:EEF0:1B0:6818:CAEC:2845:1280 (talk) 22:30, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Got any proof that it was her that leaked it? – Muboshgu (talk) 22:39, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not the place to express your baseless and almost certainly counterfactual beliefs and libelous claims. 2600:8802:5913:1700:3199:B544:3C27:BC77 (talk) 07:55, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello Wikipedians! I really enjoyed viewing all the pictures of Sonia Sotomayor, but I was wondering if there is anyway to add more visual images to help visual learners understand the material a little more as in the content is slightly heavy? I think pictures would help get points across easier, since some individuals may have a hard time understanding the article due to its heavy content. There might be some people who will encounter this article with little to no knowledge on politics, and thus, I think is important to help those individuals understand. Also, I am having a little trouble understanding how the image where Sotomayor is at a game with her nephews, is relevant to the other activities section, since it doesn’t talk about her nephews. Is there a way we can fix this? Thank you. - Strawb3rrieslov3r (talk) Strawb3rrieslov3r (talk) 22:32, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

If you are looking for more images of her, might I suggest her commons category. I think part of the problem you will find is that there may not be free use images of each event in her life. We can't use just any images here on Wikipedia. - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:07, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
