Adding Image[edit]

I was able to find an image on Flickr the photographer of which graciously put it under CC-BY-SA for our use, and suggested a different one. After thinking about it, I think the first is better, due to the somewhat frantic appearance in the second, so I trimmed the former to focus on Mr. Stringer, but perhaps someone else has a different opinion or could do a better job. I uploaded all versions to Commons just in case. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 22:08, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual Assault Claims[edit]

Hello, Stringer has recently been accused of sexual assault during his 2001 campaign for public advocate. Should these allegations be included under the section about his 2001 campaign, as that is when they allegedly occurred, under the section about his 2021 mayoral campaign, as that is when he was accused, or under personal life, as it has not yet significantly impacted his campaign. Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm new to editing and I'm not sure what wikipedia's go-to rule is on this. --I love rango (talk) 17:20, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The claim is mentioned in the 2001 area of his career section. It doesn't belong in the personal life section. If anything comes of it that it affects his 2021 mayoral campaign in any way, e.g. commentary, lost support, then it can go there. We don't need constant news coverage or any opinion pieces or speculation which is surely being written right now added either. JesseRafe (talk) 17:27, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for clarifying that for me. --I love rango (talk) 17:30, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You mentioned that if anything comes of it that effects his mayoral campaign it might make sense to include it there. Given that it has now cost him most of his endorsements, does it not make sense to include it in that section? I only ask because it feels weird to have a list of people who endorsed him in the section but not include the notable caveat that the majority of them have withdrawn that support. I know that it's ongoing and we ought not be constantly updating, but seeing as they've been updating endorsement lists and even included a blurb about the allegations in the main 2021 nyc mayoral race article, I thought it might make sense to have a sentence or two about it in that section on his page here. Sorry if I'm being a nuisance, just trying to make sure I understand how these editorial decisions are made. I love rango (talk) 16:28, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, we could say a genericized "lost a lot of supporters" but it shouldn't be followed by a hundred refs, that's why there's the {{main}} breakout right there under the subsection header, and that, an article about a specifically dated event, is treated more like a current event than a BLP article. Adding one now, feel free to tweak it, but I don't think the other items should be removed from when they happened. JesseRafe (talk) 16:40, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Makes sense to me, thank you. I love rango (talk) 16:46, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
