Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on November 16, 2008.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Erie County voters elected Antoine Thompson to the New York State Senate after he defeated cousins Marc Coppola and Al Coppola during the 2006 Democratic primary election?
Current status: Good article

Ranking Minority Member

[edit]

This almost certainly is incorrect. Ranking generally means having the most seniority and he has 2 weeks of service. TonyTheTiger 17:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation of Ranking Minority Member

[edit]

The title is given the senator in the minority party who is designated the lead senator of that party on the committee. In New York State, all freshmen senators in the minority party are ranking members on a committee.

Can you provide a reference. TonyTheTiger 01:36, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

[edit]
This review is transcluded from Talk:Antoine Thompson/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi! I'll be reviewing this article for GA status, and should have the full review up soon. Dana boomer (talk) 02:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    • I'd like to see the lead a bit longer. Perhaps another paragraph of about the same length as you have now?
    • In the "Senator" section, you first say "He is the Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Environmental Conservation Committee.", then say "He served for a month as the Acting Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Environmental Conservation Committee, prior to the election of Sen. Craig Johnson of Long Island." This seems to be contradictory - he is the ranking member but was ousted as the acting ranking member?
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    There are a few issues with references and prose/MOS that I would like to see fixed before I pass this article to GA status. However, they are minor, and overall this is a very nice article. Please let me know if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 02:49, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Everything looks good, so I'm going to pass the article. I hope for your sake that the newsbank links are permalinks...500 articles down the drain would be heartbreaking :( Nice work on this article, though! Dana boomer (talk) 14:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
