Saying what someone advocates isn't POV territory. Saying someone uses her gender for political advantage is. 76.174.24.153 ( talk)
I didn't want to do any of this without asking for input first, but can't some of the long details about her time on the City Council be trimmed? They seem like filler. -- JamesB3 09:36, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
is because it's direct quoted from her website in part.-- 70.108.123.73 07:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
LOL slavery in 1898! 76.109.71.129 ( talk) 05:25, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
It seems her embarrassing interview with Stephen Colbert (Sep. 4, 2012) merits mentioning. She apparently thought Dutch colonists had slaves in 1898 in New York. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.174.24.153 ( talk) 08:42, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Her saying "the Dutch" was NOT an attempt to sound absurd and play along with the comedy. The colonists who owned slaves in New York were in fact Dutch. It's just that it was in the early 1600's and not anywhere near the turn of the 20th Century as she seemed to believe. Ignorance of history seems the only explanation. 76.174.24.153 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:52, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Not sure what your point is or what you mean by the condescending statement "this isn't somebody's blog." What we are talking about including is Clarke's appearance on a show and her bizarre remarks on that show. Both the appearance and the remarks are easily verifiable and have been reported in WSJ and other publications. No one disagrees with you that the Dutch lost control of NY -- except Yvette Clarke apparently. 76.174.24.153 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:25, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
All references to her degree scandal have been removed, and her questionable statements on Colbert are now characterized defintively as "joking." There seems to be no consenus on the talk page as to those changes. Assuming good faith, what was the rationale for both of those edits? 24.90.198.168 ( talk) 03:12, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
Agreed- Please re-include both sides of the degree controversy and remove opinion (i.e. benefit of doubt) from Colbert story. Wikipedia should only list what happened... For example "An interview aired on the Comedian Stephen Colbert's television program in which the congresswoman stated that the Dutch owned slaves in NY in 1898, The congresswoman has since stated she was joking/tired, etc..." That would be unbiased. That is what happened. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.168.40.4 ( talk) 15:42, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
Why does this article include information in the intro about the district from 2002, BEFORE she came into office to represent it in city council? Can someone look into what the the 9th district encompassed from 2002 to 2007 geographically so we can take those neighbohoods out in the mention? thanks-- 69.2.120.11 ( talk) 20:56, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Would like to take to task the information that she obtained a scholarship from Oberlin. None of the newssites that investigated her 2006 campaign claim to have graduated from Oberlin could confirm this, and it's from campaign literature, proven to contain false material, that has since been taken down. If it's not referenced in the next few months, I'd like to delete it altogther.-- 74.108.220.125 ( talk) 19:18, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
