Talk:List of mayors of New York City

message: We should be careful with red-links for old people's names because as time goes on someone with the same name might become notable, take the link, and screw up this page.  I move that names should remained unlinked until there is a corresponding page for the person.  The red-links i have not removed are sensitive to the particular person (of that name) who served as mayor and will be able to link to the proper page when the article is written.

thread_title: New York City mayoral terms

message: The official list of NYC mayors does not mention Hood, so I did some Googling.  As near as I can tell, a 19th century list had Hood instead of Noell, that list was widely copied, and some contemporary sources "corrected" that by including them both.  However, the vast majority of definitive sources, such as the city's Green Book and New York City Mayors by Ralph J. Caliendo  include Noell and not Hood.  I've therefore removed Hood from this list, and have redirected Hood's article to Thomas Noell until some other evidence comes along. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:59, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Thomas Hood

message: I'm not sure this adds all that much, especially since it's only presented for the currently livign mayors.  I think it tip-toes into being WP:OR, although I wouldn't remove it for that.  It just seems rather unnecessary. JMHO. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:34, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Question  

message: Is there any particular reason why the column only gives links to the elections where the mayors were *first* elected, rather than every election they won? They should be plenty of vertical space in each row to list every election, since there are large portraits anyway. Chuborno (talk) 04:52, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  "First Elected" 

message: Here's what I just added to Tiemann's article:
In December 1857, Democrat Fernando Wood, the mayor of New York, was removed from office by the New York State Legislature, and an election was held to replace him.  Fed up with the corruption of Wood's administration, members of the Democratic Party's inner circle, powerful merchants such as August Belmont, John A. Dix, William Havemeyer, and John van Buren left the party and joined with reformers such as Peter Cooper, Republicans and Know-Nothings to create a fusion Independent Party.  They nominated Tiemann as their candidate, while Wood ran on the Democratic ticket.  Tiemann won the election with 51.4 percent of the vote, against Wood's 48.6 percent.  He served for one term.

message: I am unfamiliar with Pre-consolidation.  Is this the same time period as Post-Revolutionary? ~1776->  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:EFC0:105:199A:4B54:94D:5B71 (talk) 22:49, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: No, "pre-consolidation" refers to the period before 1898, when the City of New York (i.e. Manhattan and its extensions north, known as The Bronx), the City of Brooklyn, the western portion of Queens County, Richmond County (Staten Island), and parts of Westchester County were consolidated into the City of Greater New York.  The Bronx was, at that time, a part of New York County, i.e. an extension of Manhattan.  The new Bronx County was created from that extension plus parts of lower Westchester County.  The unconsolidated eastern portion of Queens County became Nassau County.) Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:11, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Age of death? 

message: As the mayors of this era were appointed by the Council of Appointment as opposed to being elected, and there were no term limits as we understand them today, do we define James Duane, Richard Varick, and Robert Livingston as one term mayors? Or do we assign them single year terms and their successors had and roll that into the total number of years served? i.e. Is Varick an 11 term, or a 1 term, mayor?

replies: text: 11 term, because they were appointed to serve ffor a year, and then re-appointed at the end of the year. Also, because ootherwise all mayors during this period would be 1 term mayors, which would make "term" a meaningless stat. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:15, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
