Talk:Richmond, California, City Council

Nice article, but...

...it seems inordinately rich regarding Tony Thurmond. I've met him, talked to him a bit, like him, and nothing against him but that strikes me as awfully NPOV. Considered whittling his section down to a reference to his own article like everyone else, but left my edit of references to him down to striking his campaign website, which I think was the most glaring NPOV. Maybe someone more senior than me can review this and follow up? -- igotdatsnowman —Preceding unsigned comment added by Igotdatsnowman (talk • contribs) 22:48, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

This is out of date. The mayor is incorrect. The council members are out of date.

I'll try to work on it, but it will be my first major edit. Any proofreading would be great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel.james.westcott (talk • contribs) 06:11, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Teahouse response

All right, so i wrote several of the articles and only copy pasted the into for most of them for others i copy pasted from the current version of the articles about the counsellors as a starting point, going forward i want to chronologically describe what the council and it's counsellors have been up to during each decade there is widespread coverage of a feud between Corky Boozé and Jovanka Beckels involving incivility and homophobia. Nat Bates had been on the council off and on since the 1970s Rosemary Corbin was the first woman mayor, Gayle McLaughlin the first green party mayor. I want to edit all that in. I will continue this on the talk page of the article and if you want or need more specifics i will give them there just ask.Ndołkah (talk) 07:18, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

This article is pretty bad quality as it is.

It ought to be structured differently. For instance:

• Description of council structure, including location
• Current Council
• History
  • using sub-headers if necessary--and from 1905 to present day.
  • Controversies should be incorporated into this section, and perhaps individual controversies merit subheadings of their own.
• References

Will try to encourage others to participate. Bastique ^{☎ call me!} 22:50, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
