Talk:Mayor of New York City

Advertisement tag explanation
The section on the deputy mayors should be shortened; it's far too specific. Additionally, when the word "liaison" is used ten times in seven paragraphs, that's a sure sign this may be lifted from publicity materials.


 * First, sign your comments, please, pal. Second, this is an article about a government post -- there is no need to "advertise." Perhaps in the bizarro world the word "liaison" is only used to advertise -- what? But here, this is an explanation of the duties of various government officers. It may be too long, or written in bureaucratic style, but its not "advertising" anything.HarvardOxon 18:58, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with Biruitorul that the section sounds like an advertisement, and the tag was justified. No need to be abusive (using words like "You're an idiot"), or condescending ("pal"), when addressing fellow wikipedians, methinks.  Turgidson 19:55, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The purpose of an advertisement is to sell a product. What exactly are we selling here? Deputy mayors? By the pound or the dozen?HarvardOxon 20:15, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I said "sounds like an advertisement", not "is an advertisement", so please do not raise a straw man to airily dismiss what others view as valid objections to the style of the section in question. Let me refer you to WP:NOT for more on this topic. And, by the way, can this conversation be conducted in a tone that avoids cheap sarcasm?  Thanks.   Turgidson 23:26, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Bloomberg Inaguration.jpg
Image:Bloomberg Inaguration.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Qualifications for serving as Mayor?
The article is currently lacking any information on who may run for mayor--are there age limits, residency requirements, etc? The NYC Charter appears to be silent on this. If the answer is there aren't any, that should be stated in the article. Postdlf (talk) 15:50, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Do the "See Also" links for the civil and criminal courts belong here?
While the Mayor has a close relationship with (for example) the City Council, my feeling is that the See Also links for the courts belong in Government of New York City rather than here. Perhaps there's some good reason I've overlooked (such as who appoints the judges, although I think that might be covered by wikilinks within the paragraph or section that deals with the Mayor's powers of appointment.) I just wanted to ask before I delete or move anything. —— Shakescene (talk) 01:53, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Term Limits
The article talks about there being a 'three consecutive term' limit for the Mayor. I take it by this that a person could therefore run (and be elected) as Mayor at a later point? That is, for example, Mr. Bloomberg is finishing his third consecutive term soon. Once he is out of office (i.e. after someone else is elected Mayor), he could presumably run again in the election after that. So a person can be elected to multiple terms, as long no more than three terms in a row. Reverend Edward Brain, D.D. (talk) 02:32, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Capitalization
See Manual of Style/Capital letters. This tells us when we should capitalize "mayor": E.g., "the Mayor of New York" (specific) but "the mayor of the city" (generic) ... if I understand correctly. This requires a few changes as of 2017-12-08. DavidMCEddy (talk) 02:40, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Deputy Mayors?
In the reference cited for your two recent edits, I read, "Deputy Mayor Richard Buery, who helped organize the expansion of prekindergarten classes, also said that he would depart next year. Although his replacement was not named, Mr. de Blasio announced the creation of the position of deputy mayor for operations, giving the job to Laura Anglin".

However, it did NOT say that Richard Buery was no longer a deputy mayor, only "that he would depart next year." Do you have any evidence that he has already departed? Also, do you have other evidence that Laura Anglin is currently "deputy mayor for operations"? I looked for other sources on this and could not find such. Thanks, DavidMCEddy (talk) 17:10, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

I just undid my edits back to the version of the article before I had edited it. I did not say that the position of Deputy Mayor for Strategic Initiatives and Policy was abolished nor did I originally write that Laura Anglin was appointed as Deputy Mayor for Operations.


 * I can find another link maybe, but the deputy Mayors who left and those who began their terms all did so effective 1/1/18. This article, https://www.chalkbeat.org/posts/ny/2017/11/30/richard-buery-architect-of-new-york-citys-massive-pre-k-expansion-is-leaving-city-hall/, among others uses terms indicative of his departure being a sure thing, "Buery — who, until now, was the highest-ranking black official in City Hall" -- phrasing that would not be needed were he still in the post. Also, there almost certainly would not be a replacement for him in his specific DM title as that position and portfolio was created solely for him. Most DMs have relatively boilerplate titles that don't change with regime or term-to-term. JesseRafe (talk) 18:00, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Per the phrasing here, http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20171130/POLITICS/171139986/mayor-bill-de-blasio-shakes-up-senior-staff-and-creates-a-new-post-for-deputy-mayor-of-operations, it seems that an exact DM with the same title and duties is being sought, however, again, "First Deputy Mayor Anthony Shorris and Deputy Mayor for Strategic Policy Initiatives Richard Buery would leave their jobs in the new year" is generally taken to mean in the beginning of the term, and given the parallelism of the sentence and the known fact that Shorris's appointment was up on 12/31/17 and Fuleihan began as FDM on 1/1/18, it seems correct that Buery left the administration and no new replacement has been found. Though, I do agree this borders on synthesis rather than direct sourcing. JesseRafe (talk) 18:08, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

drunk modification
Sorry for editing the page with information regarding the newly elected mayor. I'm familiar with the NYC election system but I edited the page right away after the election and I want to say i'm truly sorry for not thinking before acting.
