It's a bit odd to have just the Vacca link from this page. any other Members have meaningful unofficial sites?
There is also no mention of the "President of the City Council", Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum.
Actually in the 1994 Charter revision the President of the Council was converted into the Public Advocate's position. The Public Advocate is an ad-hoc member of all committees and can introduce legislation.
Some type of map of the districts that the city breaks down into would be very very useful. Zue Jay ( talk) 17:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
The partisan breakdown of the City Council was incorrect and has now been fixed. There are five (5) Republican members as of 2012 -- Council Members Oddo, Ignizio, Koo, Halloran, and Ulrich. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.14.227.102 ( talk) 19:51, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Presently, the table shows 45 Democrats, 2 Republicans, 1 Working Families Party member and 3 vacancies (total 51). Originally, there were 3 Republicans: 2 from Staten Island and 1 from Queens. How should the text (which I may have written) be changed? Should one of the 3 Republican councilmen in the template be flagged or replaced by "Vacant"? —— Shakescene ( talk) 19:23, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
i don't wish to become involved in an edit war, but i believe the edits and clarifications i made were constructive, the tags i added are valid and the changes are in line with the guidelines of WP:MOS. please do not categorically revert an editor's changes. please explain why all changes (or virtually all changes) were reverted. -- 98.113.187.11 ( talk) 10:44, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Maybe it is difficult to keep track of. Is there a reason the second paragraph says "There are 47 Democratic council members..." when several other places in the article it says 46 Democrats? → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 02:01, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
Is this ok now?-- 38.98.96.194 ( talk) 20:20, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

@ Shakescene: You are correct that "public advocate" is a title; as such, its capitalization within Wikipedia is covered by its Manual of Style, MOS:JOBTITLES. The MoS does not even capitalize "king", 'emperor" or "pope", except in three very special cases. Please follow WP's style. Chris the speller yack 14:16, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Created this map using NYC Open Data. I propose adding it to the page:
- DutchTreat ( talk) 12:23, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
@ RoySmith, Beetstra, and WhatamIdoing: Based upon what was being discussed at WP:ELN#New York City Council, I asked at WP:GL/M#New York City Council about the possibility of creating maps to use in the article instead of the external links currently being used. DutchTreat was able to create a map for all the districts combined (see #Map of District) and for the individual districts (see User:DutchTreat/Projects/Maps/nyc-council-districts) using freely available data. This is, at least in my opinion, a better option than the links. There might be some formatting issues (e.g. sizing) that will need to be resolved, but it seems as if simply copying and pasting the syntax from DutchTreat's sandbox into the "Maps" column should work OK. An example of how this might look using is as follows.
District | Member | Party | Residence | Borough | Elected | Term limited | Map |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Margaret Chin | Democratic | Financial District | Manhattan | 2009 | 2021 |
|
2 | Carlina Rivera | Democratic | Lower East Side | Manhattan | 2017 | 2025 |

District | Member | Party | Residence | Borough | Elected | Term limited | Map |

District | Member | Party | Residence | Borough | Elected | Term limited | Map |

1 | Margaret Chin | Democratic | Financial District | Manhattan | 2009 | 2021 |

2 | Carlina Rivera | Democratic | Lower East Side | Manhattan | 2017 | 2025 |

Does anyone have any concerns about incorporating these maps into the table? Note that the individual maps that DutchTreat created are zoomable and expandable; so, even if the size is kept small for table purposes, the reader can zoom in or expand the map if they want. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:35, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

, but I don't know the correct wiki syntax to embed that in the page. I tried a few variations on <span style="...">
and never found the right incantation. And, once you've done that, you still need to wire up a way that clicking on the maplet gets you to the bigger version. --

Is 2029 correct? In 2001 and 2003, the two year terms were not affected by the current limits, so there's no precedent. As I understand the law, it is limiting to "two four-year elected terms". Is it two terms, two full-four year terms, two full four-year terms plus extra time (from mid-term specials)? Or just 8 years (plus extra for specials) from election? Most news sources haven't started (or ever!) really addressed this in all the election write-ups. If it's two terms, then the limit is reached in 2025. If it's two full four-year terms, then it's not til 2033 after being elected in 2025 and 2029 (four elected terms!). Or if it's the term that ends after the eighth year in office is reached (my personal interpretation based on the analog of how those who finished prior electeds' terms), then it would be 2029 (three elected terms, plus extra for some), as currently added by 24.189.117.158. Any other thoughts? JesseRafe ( talk) 20:38, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
We should start a section on these to outline what some of them actually do. Wikitikitengo2 ( talk) 04:58, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
Can someone explain why the majority and minority whips are listed in the infobox? I'm curious as to why it's done here but not in articles about state legislatures. Derpytoucan ( talk) 02:12, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
