[edit] Assess

Article lacks depth on accomplishments and status of sf during his term. Also topics are vry brief to be of broad use to readers. Anlace 15:58, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2004 Weddings

I changed "married" to "issued marriage license". Some same-sex couples had there ceremony by city officials in city hall, some did not. Even today, same-sex couples can have ceremonies in city hall. What they cannot get, regardless of who performs the cermony, is a marriage license.--DaveOinSF 03:34, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Questionable Links

Okay, fine, in the sake of being 'fair' (which is silly considering the guy has 80% approval ratings, an amazing achievement in an extremely democratic and liberal city that disects and re-disects every politician on an almost daily basis...), Do we HAVE to have TWO 'negative' links about him? If we have to keep them to be 'fair' could we at least find two positive ones? Otherwise I just don't see the point of keeping these links which try to smear him as someone who is electioneering his way into office. The links don't really even mention Gonzales who was actual opponent, so how relevant are they?

[edit] Sofia

Does her nationality REALLY matter THAT much when the page is about Gavin Newsom? (unsigned)

[edit] What's with the bullet points?

Why was this article re-written using all bullet points? It is more difficult to read and looks amateurish. The article was perfectly fine in its previous format. Can we please restore it to the original version? CagedRage 17:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ragone editing

Peter Ragone (or an impostor of Ragone, the Newsom spokesperson), please quit whitewashing the Newsom article. Please make sure that your edits meet WP:NPOV. Thank you. Calwatch 05:34, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
