This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Zach Williams (12 April 2019). "State Sen. Kevin Parker's most notable eruptions". City & State New York. Retrieved 6 November 2020. State Sen. Kevin Parker's temper has once again made it into the headlines after he got into a shouting match with freshman state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi at a recent meeting of the Democratic Senate conference. Biaggi had objected to being lectured by Parker at the meeting over the proper use of social media, especially given Parker's recent controversy on Twitter. The two elected officials then exchanged some heated words, before Parker took off his tie, threw it on the ground and stomped out of the room. This controversy is just the latest for Parker, a lawmaker who has a long history of making explosive remarks and getting involved in scuffles – both inside and outside the state Capitol. A whole section of his Wikipedia page summarizes how a hot temper has landed him in trouble ever since he first entered the state Senate in 2003.

Citing tweet in response to latest controversy?

Hi all, looking for a best practice on citing tweets in regards to the controversy section for Senator Kevin Parker's article.

Here is the notable exchange in question, as reported by NY Capitol: https://twitter.com/JonCampbellGAN/status/1075064970268704774 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Digital strategist (talk • contribs) 17:06, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Needs more sources

The article needs more sources. The career section is entirely unsourced. SunCrow (talk) 04:28, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I added some sources, but mostly just links to Parker's Senate page. Still needs more sources. SunCrow (talk) 20:10, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The sourcing issue has been addressed. SunCrow (talk) 02:15, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion of tenure section

The section on Parker's Senate tenure could use expansion. SunCrow (talk) 02:15, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed.--GrammySandwich (talk) 18:27, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
