the footnotes don't reflect or bear on the information in the article

Have a look at footnote #3 -- it links to an article that it highly critical of Weinshall and her pro-automobile bias and says nothing about Weinshall's "efforts" to slow traffic on Queens Blvd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.224.254 (talk) 17:19, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My fault. An anonymous user added a bunch of material, some of it sourced and some biographically appropriate, but mostly too intent on being hostile on fairly minor points to be WP:ENCYCLOPEDIC. Rather than delete it all, I tried to sort it out, and misplaced the citation. Now two WP:ANONs seem to be making an effort towards WP:EDIT WARring in which the citation became an early casualty. Were this a more important article, other signed-in editors would join in and organize it properly, including some interesting news reports (and not just in the poor little New York Observer) about a neighborhood anti-bikelane organization that includes the former official who is this article's subject, but I'm not interested enough to make the effort myself.

A better picture of Ms. Weinshall needs to be found, or the current one should be removed

The picture of Iris Weinshall on this article should be replaced or removed. Not only is the image incredibly blurry, but it's also at least two decades outdated. I will look for an image myself, but I'm not exactly the best at that sort of thing; please look for images if you see this and the photo hasn't been replaced. Poxy4 (talk) 20:28, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

seriously, was that taken with a 110 film camera. Doesn't a public official have an official photo we can use?
