replies: text: Actually, all articles on Wikipedia are being considered for editing. They're all slanted in some way too.  We're not singling out this article, we just have to start fixing somewhere.
She sounds so good here because this is word-for-word from her "detailed campaign biography." Isn't that a copy-vio issue? Nonetheless, I think a re-working of the bio would suffice to make it "neutral" and acceptable. - Nhprman List 03:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

message: There's a slight problem with contradictory sources here. According to the NYS Board of elections, Wojtaszek received 59,547 votes in the 2002 election against Slaughter . However, according to the Clerk of the House of Representatives, he only received 58,547 . Which source should we trust here?

message: There have been rumors going around that when Rep. Slaughter went to Syria with Nancy Pelosi and others, that she met not only with Syrian officials, but also leadership from the PKK terrorist group to cause trouble with Turkey to make them shut down the supply lines for the troops in iraq.  Has anyone else heard or have any information on this?

message: Is there any sourcing for this?  The on-its-face claim is inaccurate due to district re-numbering, but it's possible she was the first Democrat to represent part of Rochester.  It would take a significant amount of effort (which would probably end up being WP:OR/WP:SYNTH) to determine all the representatives from Monroe County, New York over a 75-year period. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:58, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: It can probably be sourced through her biography in The Almanac of American Politics or a similar source. It clearly pertains to the Rochester area and not to the district numbered 30. It's relevant to her political biography because it contributes to an understanding of how much of a trailblazer she was. JTRH (talk) 00:35, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
