External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Dean Skelos. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

BLP template[edit]

It seems to me that the citations requirement is being met and the template can be removed.Jdkag (talk) 10:30, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

update[edit]

Skelos and his son were convicted again on the charges on July 17th, 2018. 98.10.165.90 (talk) 01:10, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation[edit]

The infobox lists Skelos as having been Senate Majority Leader from June to July 2019, during the period of the 2009 New York State Senate leadership crisis. The State Senate failed to conduct business during that period because it was not clear who the Majority Leader was. Absent a reliable source that says Skelos was Majority Leader during this time, I don't think this listing should be here. I have removed it. SunCrow (talk) 18:58, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
