Source for Gaeta[edit]

Richard Gaeta was listed as running on the Citizens Party ticket on the bottom of the page and winning less than one percent. I removed it because he is not on the Philadelphia mayoral history website referenced in the article. Not sure where User:-A-M-B-1996- got it from. 70.122.40.201 (talk) 19:53, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly an oversight by me to not properly source when I originally added results to this page, but Gaeta was definitely a candidate; the cited source is incomplete/inaccurate. Here is a contemporary report on the election listing Gaeta's (incomplete) vote total: "Socialist Richard Gaeta had 3,184." https://apnews.com/8bb0caccdf4aa3763a479aa5c8bd0564 OurCampaigns.com also has the proper vote totals, but I can't find the primary source. I have emailed the city administrator for the site seeking clarification. -A-M-B-1996- (talk) 20:05, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for sending an e-mail to seek clarification. I think that is to go above and beyond. I noticed that from AP's report that was still lacking seven precincts to OurCampaigns.com, Goode and Gaeta gained votes, but Rizzo lost some, so the latter source is questionable. 70.122.40.201 (talk) 22:50, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
