Merge from John Gomez[edit]

I propose merging the 2nd CD candidate's article John Gomez into this article. His notability seems limited to his candidacy, which is a long shot. See WP:POLITICIAN and the discussion at Talk:John Gomez. Google News shows almost no coverage of Gomez, aside from his endorsements by better known politicians such as Sarah Palin. -Colfer2 (talk) 19:59, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring[edit]

In the section United States House of Representatives elections in New York, 2010#District 2, the anonymous editor continues to remove material without discussion, or even edit summaries. -Colfer2 (talk) 16:52, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring 1st District[edit]

Referenced material on the state's election was deleted here. This is coming from a single purpose i.p. account. The referenced material are New York dailies. I am not reverting the edit at the moment to avoid an edit war. Aggressive anonymous single purpose editors should not be rewarded though.Americasroof (talk) 19:05, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

4th District discrepancy[edit]

On this page it is said that Frank J. Becker represented this district in the 1950s and 1960s. However, on this page Becker's name appears nowhere, and the district was represented by four other men during that time. And on Becker's own page he is said to have been in Congress in the 1950s and 1960s, but his district is not given. These pages need correcting, and I'm unable to do it.
