Suggested Category addition

There seems to oversight in that the category 'Category:Jewish American attorneys' is conspicuously missing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:3970:EDA0:AD02:9518:4703:5016 (talk) 02:38, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

We already have Category:Jewish American politicians and Category:Lawyers from New York City, so I'm not quite sure why Category:Jewish American attorneys is necessary. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:31, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Why do categories exist? To catalogue and make searchable through a review of the category. Categories are discrete, searchable databases and ought to be independent of each other, not a Cliff Notes version of the article, or nah? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:3970:EDA0:B96B:31F4:D988:B3A0 (talk) 03:59, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

"despite having no evidence

So this ought to be taken out, right? Makes the whole thing seem terribly slanted. 192.160.131.22 (talk) 21:38, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Yes. I see it was already removed by User:Sandstein. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:25, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

"Brown Slave"

When will the article take note of this "Ex: Schneiderman called me ‘brown slave,’ slapped me until I called him ‘Master’" https://nypost.com/2018/05/07/ex-schneiderman-called-me-his-brown-slave-would-slap-me-until-i-called-him-master/ --105.8.1.208 (talk) 22:11, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Content deleted by Chris troutman about Schneiderman's 2010 hit and run being questioned by the media in 2018

Chris troutman deleted these eleven words in the section about the 2010 election:

He denied being involved in a hit and run in July.^[1]^[2]^[3]

This got deleted even though it showed up in the The New York Times.^[4] Oh well, showing up in the «newspaper of record» as well as all other major Big Apple newspapers^[5]^[6] and magazines^[7] about a New York State Senator who represented Manhattan and the Bronx is apparently now WP:UNDUE?

Obviously, this has become now relevant again insofar as Crain's New York Business (cited above), NY1,^[8] City Journal^[9] have again raised the issue now, in 2018, eight years later. But hey, maybe we ought to save 11 words of server space! XavierItzm (talk) 22:33, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

In 2010, when Schneiderman first ran for statewide office, he was involved in a hit-and-run accident. Then a state senator, he claimed to have been a passenger in his own car when his 22-year-old staffer Rachel Kagan—niece of Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan—smashed into a parked car and drove away, after causing $3,000 worth of damage. A passerby witnessed the crash and wrote down Schneiderman's license plate. Schneiderman later told the owner of the parked car that he "disciplined the staffer," and offered to pay for the damage, though his office insisted that it was "outrageous" to call the incident a hit-and-run.

@XavierItzm: The issue is not if the incident were true or it was in a reliable source. The issue is that you're giving it undue coverage. I'm not tying to protect the subject but the subject has been a target of vandalism. Suffice to say that I have no respect for your edit history. Chasing "news" is always a bad idea.
