This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Untitled

This entire article is lifted from the subject's campaign site. It obviously has a multitude of problems. I'm too new here to know where to start, but my gut says just "delete it". -- Jpgordon 05:32, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

New language

I've gone ahead and added some new language.

Inaccurate

The 2006 North Beach Jazz Festival was not canceled. The organizers threatened to cancel it in order to exert their influence over the Rec and Park Department. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.123.180.231 (talk) 05:28, 28 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

North Beach Jazz Festival is not 52 years old, and it was not canceled... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs6i3CBdIAY&feature=related It was nearly canceled. The North Beach Festival is the one that's about 52 years old. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.80.3.5 (talk) 00:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

701 Lombard Street is not across from Washington Square Park. It is the location of the North Beach library, next to Joe DiMaggio Park. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.212.36.2 (talk) 17:53, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Triggered by (?<=[/@.])examiner\.com(?:[:/?\x{23}]|$) on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Recent edit warring on this page

@Thenightaway, @Californiaknowshowtoparty, and @SFHistorian1850: Please discuss here rather than continuing to edit war. Funcrunch (talk) 22:13, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The editors SFHistorian1850 and Californiaknowshowtoparty have removed massive amounts of RS content with what seems an intent to promote the subject and whitewash. They are single-purpose editors and their edit summaries are deceptive and misleading (they frequently mischaracterize what they are doing and they frequently describe their edits as minor). There is no policy-based reason for removing RS content about Peskin's student activism and replacing it with unsourced text that says something completely different. There's also no policy-based reason to remove RS content on the properties that Peskin owns in the personal life section. Thenightaway (talk) 22:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
