Talk:Abraham Beame

message: The first Jewish mayor of New York could be said to be Fiorello LaGuardia. He wasn't raised as such and didn't consider himself Jewish, but according to Halacha, which holds that the son of a Jewish mother is himself Jewish, he was Jewish and could have even been counted for a minyan; his mother's maiden name was Luzzatto, and his maternal grandfather was a rabbi in Italy. If you count LaGuardia, then Beame would have been the second Jewish mayor, not the first.
I'm not going to add this to the article page yet. If I see no objections here I may add the line in italics:
"He was the first Jewish mayor of New York, or the second if Fiorello LaGuardia is counted as Jewish."

thread_title: First Jewish mayor, or second?

message: The article mentions his rank as the 14th-worst mayor, across a wide expanse of time. It doesn't do much to explain what was so bad about his term. In fact, the preceding paragraph states that he turned a huge deficit into a surplus. Yitz711 (talk) 07:14, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:William J. Worth

message: I reverted an edit that added :Worth, New York as a place named after William J. Worth. The article at Worth, New York states, without a cited source, that it was named after William Worth, a "commander of troops" at the Battle of Sackett's Harbor on May 28 and 29, 1813. William J. Worth had just been commissioned as First Lieutenant two months earlier, and so is unlikely to have commanded a large unit at that battle. A quick search has failed to show that William J. Worth was at the Battle of Sacketts Harbor. Without a reliable source stating that the town was named after this William J. Worth, it does not belong in the article. - Donald Albury 02:09, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
