Talk:John F. Street

message: Could we get a better picture somehow? The current photo is blurry almost to the point of uselessness Passdoubt | Talk 03:04, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photo 

message: No mention is made of the racially divisive rhetoric strewn around by the Street Campaigns, nor the egregious amount of City patronage directed at Street's immediate family, including his wife, brother , and son. Lack of indictments should not insulate Street from legitimate charges of incompetence and corruption.

thread_title:  An Awfully Sympathetic Listing, Despite Mention Of Scandals 

message: I'm guessing that he was born in Norristown but moved down South, possibly to Alabama? The article doesn't really make that clear. Where did this farming take place? Rural Montgomery County? Even in 1950, nobody in Norristown proper was farming. Passdoubt | Talk 05:23, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Born in Norristown... in a farming household

message: I fixed the date of birth. Street was born on October 15, 1943, not December 4, 1945. J-Red 01:54, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of Birth

message: I read a short article in the Inquirer today about how someone added the false claim to this article that Street played Bozo the Clown. It looks like the offending addition was done by 70.156.131.74, someone rightly removed it as unverified a few days later, but it was then re-added by 12.198.160.151 in the name of "fighting vandalism", his first-ever edit no less. With the mild publicity in the Inquirer it may be a good idea to keep an eye on the page. Krimpet 14:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah its currently on the main page with the teaser of "Some clown breaks into Street's Wikipedia page". First class journalism.  Slow news day, no one murdered over the weekend, just wounded. ccwaters 15:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  House Fire 

message: The following statement has no place in the Policy section: "Since 2000, the average home in Philadelphia has appreciated by approximately 30 percent, and the population of Center City grew by 14 percent between 1990 and 2000." It contains events that occurred before Street's reign as mayor of Philadelphia, and therefore, not relevant to his policies while mayor. Further, the statement is a non-sequitor, using evidence about a Center City population boon between 1990 and 2000 to explain a growth in home value after 2000. The causal connection is tenuous and poorly worded.--146.145.125.131 15:45, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Erroneous Information 

message: Can someone tell me his aproval rating? It seems to me he would have really low ratings. ForeverDEAD 14:48, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aproval rating? 

message: The section on NTI currently contains says the following
:"However, initial results have been positive. Since 2000, the average home in Philadelphia has :appreciated by approximately 30 percent. The housing market continues to thrive, and developers :have created more than 4,880 market-rate apartments and condominiums in the past several years"
The citation given is to a broken link (Phila.gov apparently no longer has a section for NTI since the program is discontinued).  I tried to Wayback Machine it and was informed that the page could not be archived because Phila.gov blocks bots or something along those lines.  Does anyone know what the original source said?  Either way, i suspect the passage should be rewritten a bit.  NTI is far from being considered a success and the appreciation of home values has a lot more to do with national trends than NTI.  I would change it myself but the page appears to be semi protected and I haven't logged on to Wiki in years - can't for the life of me rememeber my password.
