message: I just added a little bit about her putative mayoral aspirations and the progressive critique of Quinn.  I realize this section could really use some links -- anyone else have them handy?

message: I rewrote the opening paragraph to make clear an important point:  Quinn is THE Speaker of the City Council; whereas the paragraph previously stated she was the "third speaker" . . . implying either the title of "Third Speaker" (which does not exist in NYC), or that she was the third person to hold the office (which is not true).  The reference did not make any clear mention of her DISTRICT . . . (which of course is "3," and has no directly bearing on the office of Speaker).Mrjmcneil (talk) 07:37, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Opening paragraph rewrite 

message: I am aware that Quinn voted with Mayor Bloomberg and many others to voted overturn the publicly-voted decision to create term limits for NYC politicians.  Had the limits remained, both she and Bloomberg would have had to wait a term, find other political niches, or (most likely) leave politics.  She is a democrat, yet defied the people's democratic will, and, further, seems closely aligned with the Bloomberg, a pure-capital Republican.
Experience is that it is exceedingly difficult if not impossible to enter critical inquiry into pages that are protected by supporters, so in that case the path of least resistance would be to create an alternate page that is not perceived to be a threat to supporter POV, and go from there.--John Bessa (talk) 18:30, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Issue positions 

message: A lot of the information in Wikipedia articles is unsourced and unverified. I was reading the St. Vincent Ferrer High School article, which said that Quinn graduated from that school. I then proceeded to add that information to Quinn's article on Wikipedia. The edit was deleted, because the information was unsourced. I then proceeded to Google Christine Quinn concerning the high school that she attended. A web site popped up with the answer to my question. Quinn was asked what high school she attended. Her answer was, "Holy Child in Glen Cove."
You can verify this by clicking the following link:

Christine Quinn herself has said that she went to Holy Child High School in Glen Cove. This is verified information, and it's OK to add this info to her Wikipedia page.

replies: text: Your research is commendable, and I was about to add the source to the article to back up what you put in, but, unfortunately, I decided to poke around the web on the issue, and it became complicated. First there is no school called Holy Child High School, as far as I can tell. There is a school called School of the Holy Child, and it has students from Grade 5 to Grade 12, which, includes high school years but isn't only a high school. That school, btw, is not in Glen Cove but in Rye, which is not that far from Glen Cove. That may be what she meant, but it's impossible to know. I also found this article that says she went to "Holy Child Academy in Old Westbury, Long Island, where she was also editor of the school newspaper." Holy Child Academy, though, stops at Grade 8, so it isn't a high school. The same article says she went to a "small high school", but it's confusing as it doesn't say which high school; also, because it comes directly after the reference to the Academy, unless you know the Academy isn't a high school, you might infer she meant the Academy. I then gave up, although I suspect she went first to the Acaademy and then to the School of the Holy Child in Rye.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:22, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

text: Sorry, I don't agree the point is moot. First, we don't know what Quinn said. We only know what the cited sources says she said. Second, she could have been speaking loosely and therefore inaccurately. Finally, I'm uncomfortable saying that x is true when it's impossible for it to be true. I realize we stand by reliable sources, not "truth", but that's on issues when the "truth" is somewhat elusive, not when we know it's untrue. My inclination would be to leave the information out of the article for those reasons. Stepping back from the technical aspect of the isssue, it's not terribly important to her article where she went to high school.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:53, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

message: There is no reason to refer to Kim Catullo as Quinn's "wife".  Or why not "husband"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.168.139 (talk) 20:03, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Presumably because same-sex marriage is legal in New York, and thus they are legally married. Her official page on the New York City Council website refers to Kim Catullo as her wife, and so that's the term we use. Robofish (talk) 20:10, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

message: I think for yours it might be helpful to define some of the more difficult terms such as "slush fund" and possibly link it to an existing wikipedia article if one exists? Also, it seems that with a political article like this its hard not to sound opinionated almost. Were you instructed to refrain from the use of like news articles? I know that we were but I feel like it might be useful to use them for like political writing. I know some NY times articles/editorials are referenced which might be biased.

replies: text: I get the sense that the current content on this event is biased editing... it doesn't include the context that Quinn called herself a "qualified lesbian" in comparison to Nixon. As it is written now, the "lesbian" part reads like it was used as a pejorative. With acorns for buttons (talk) 18:47, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
