Talk:2006 New York's 20th congressional district election

What this article is not

This article is NOT:

• A place to list things that John Sweeney did, including actions in Congress, which have not become campaign issues. Those belong in the John E. Sweeney article. (Those just added to this article, which I deleted, I will evaluate and add to his article as appropriate.) And if/when they DO become campaign issues, then they should be mentioned BRIEFLY here. Remember that this is a transitory page - after 2006, it's NOT the place that people will come (for example) to read that Sweeney had a 2001 auto accident.

• A place to insert campaign text for Gillibrand. Because she has no article of her own, she DOES get more space/text here than does Sweeney, but that doesn't extend to things that aren't verifiable ("leader in women's rights" - is that from a newspaper or campaign literature?). A reasonable description of what she has proposed is okay, but neutral language ("changes" rather than "reform" - who is against "reform"?) is required. I've deleted endorsements from the usual suspects, just as I will if someone puts in that Sweeney was endorsed (say) by George W. Bush. Those endorsements are NOT newsworthy per se - wikipedia isn't the place for laundry lists.
