Talk:Maya Wiley

Deletion by editor who has been deleting my additions

I am concerned that an editor (KidAd) is following me and reverting or deleting my edits, or nominating articles for AfD, or disagreeing with my DRV or Afd votes, without good reason over the past 2 weeks. This edit just now is without good reason, and is part of a pattern.[1]

His (her or other, if appropriate, w/apologies) edit summary does not provide a proper explanation. "Unnecessary" is not a reason - here nothing is necessary.

As you can see in that diff, I fixed the incorrect school name. He reverted to an incorrect name. (He has made similar type "revert to incorrect text" edits in the past.) He deleted info re Wiley's husband, and her having two daughters, which is standard info. He deleting the inlining to the political race she is in. He deleted additions of text re the death of her father with her on board their boat.

---

As far as his pattern is concerned:

• I greatly expanded Kathryn Garcia, with RSs. An editor reverted, deleting the expansion, saying she was not notable. I explained both on the article and editor talk pages and in an edit summary that she was notable. I restored my edits on January 11, writing: "clearly meets GNG. Multiple article, devoted to her, by the NY Times, NY Post, NY Daily News, FT."[2] And I explained my point on the talk page (there was no response). [3] There was no further reverting after my explanation. But KidAd requested page protection on January 11, asserting incorrectly "High level of IP disruption and persistent re-creation."[4] (As a result - I was blocked from that page for my one revert, and I protested - perhaps annoying him? - that the block was not appropriate.)

• I improved the article Dianne Morales, which had been redirected when it had only one reference, adding 20 references. KidAd had made the redirect close before most of those articles existed, and told me I had to bring the article to DRV (I wasn't challenging the initial deletion - it was an entirely new article). I did that January 15. He immediately opposed. User:WilyD closed. Writing in edit summary: "this article was not the same as the one AfD'd, and thus attempts to enforce that decision are not appropriate, and have been inappropriate all along".[5] Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2021 January 14

• I edited the article Andrew Giuliani, adding RS supported text to it. So KidAd nominated it for deletion on January 16. Five minutes after my last edit.[6] The afd is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrew Giuliani. User:Daniel closed it as a keep.

• I improved the article Statue of Ruth Bader Ginsburg at AfD, and voted to keep it, on January 17. KidAd followed by voting against me 10 hours later. At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Statue of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. User:Sandstein closed it as a keep.

• I again improved the article Andrew Giuliani with text supported by RS refs, including correcting the subjects title, on January 17. KidAd reverted. Starting seven minutes later, effectively deleting my corrections and restoring incorrect text. With edit summaries saying "Clunky," "Nonsense", and "Poor format; not a notable office"[7] (As was suggested, I brought it to the talk page. But no other editor commented.)

I do not wish KidAd harm. But I do wish someone could convince him to stop. --2603:7000:2143:8500:5051:8E5:1B15:55B (talk) 02:59, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

What does all of this have to do with this article, Maya Wiley? Sandstein 07:34, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

The specific problem at this article is described in the first three paragraphs above.

That it is part of a pattern is described below that. 2603:7000:2143:8500:5051:8E5:1B15:55B (talk) 09:18, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Born in DC or Syracuse?

Some sources say she was born in DC, including here: https://www.msnbc.com/podcast/transcript-maya-wiley-racial-justice-n1229426

Was she born in DC like this article says, or Syracuse, like the above source?

Criticism

What's all this Tucker Carlson criticism edits going back and forth?? The edit is broken down into 2 sections. Carlson's comments and candidate Eric Adam's criticism. Criticism has always been allowed in politician's articles so the second paragraph edit should remain in this article.

Mayoral Candidate Eric Adams has accused Wiley of hypocrisy for supporting defunding the police when she hires private security for her neighbourhood. Lostfan333 (talk) 21:09, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Generally, one person saying something about another, whether it be positive or negative, is not worthy of inclusion in the article. Only stuff that sticks.--RegentsPark (comment) 21:31, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Update re: the Leadership Conference

Hello! On behalf of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I would like to propose a few suggestions to Maya Wiley's biography. I've disclosed my conflict of interest on my profile page and in the template at the top of this page. I'll avoid updating the entry myself and invite other editors to review and implement on my behalf.

Currently, the introduction mentions the Leadership Conference and her start date twice, but the article body's Career section does not mention the Leadership Conference in any capacity. Therefore, I propose relocating the following content from the introduction to a new Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights subsection under Career:

• " In March 2022, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights announced Wiley's appointment as its president and CEO, and of its sister group, The Leadership Conference Education Fund, effective May 2."

References

Additionally, I would like to propose expanding this new subsection with some additional text about her tenure at the Leadership Conference. I suggest the following overview, which is based on Wikipedia-appropriate sources and focuses specifically on her and not the organization as a whole:

In 2023, she represented the Leadership Conference at a meeting hosted by Vice President Kamala Harris with labor and rights groups to discuss threats from artificial intelligence (AI), and as a panelist at the U.S. Senate's inaugural AI Insight Forum, hosted by majority leader Chuck Schumer. Wiley also attended White House meetings during the Biden administration, alongside other civil rights leaders, to advocate for stronger voting rights and more economic opportunities for the Black community.

References

By submitting this request, I am attempting to reduce redundancy in the introduction and update the article body's Career section by providing a brief and neutral overview of her work since the 2021 New York City mayoral campaign. Happy to address any concerns here or on my user Talk page.

Thanks in advance for any assistance, Inkian Jason (talk) 19:01, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Suggested additions

In addition to the above request, I would like to propose three additions to this biography.

Digital Equity Laboratory

1. Currently, the article says:

• Wiley has taught at The New School and appeared on MSNBC as a political and legal analyst.

References

I would like to propose adding mention of the Digital Equity Laboratory, which she founded at The New School, per The Harlem Times, which says: "Eventually, she moved on from the position, later becoming a professor at the New School, where she founded the Digital Equity Laboratory on universal and inclusive broadband."

Therefore, I would like to propose the above sentence be expanded to the following:

• Wiley has taught at The New School, where she founded the Digital Equity Laboratory, and appeared on MSNBC as a political and legal analyst.

References

If this text works, could someone update the article on my behalf?

Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 21:33, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Joseph L. Rauh, Jr. Chair of Civil and Human Rights

2. Currently, the article does not mention that Wiley was named the District of Columbia School of Law Foundation's Joseph L. Rauh, Jr. Chair of Civil and Human Rights. Per Politico, which says, "President, and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights Maya Wiley has also been named the 2023-2024 Joseph L. Rauh, Jr. Chair of Civil and Human Rights by the District of Columbia School of Law Foundation", I propose adding the following sentence:

• In November 2023, Wiley was named the District of Columbia School of Law Foundation’s Joseph L. Rauh, Jr. Chair of Civil and Human Rights.

References

Would someone mind updating the article appropriately?

Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 21:33, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Local 1199 of the Service Employees International Union

3. Currently, the 2021 New York City mayoral campaign section says:

• Wiley ran in the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City in 2021. In June 2021, Wiley was endorsed by U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and former presidential candidates Julian Castro and Elizabeth Warren.

I understand this paragraph is meant to summarize the 2021 New York City Democratic mayoral primary article as relevant to Wiley. If her biography is going to summarize notable endorsements from the campaign, then I suggest adding mention of Local 1199 of the Service Employees International Union's endorsement because the union is New York City's largest.

Therefore, I propose expanding the sentence to add mention of this notable endorsement:

• Wiley ran in the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City in 2021. In June 2021, Wiley was endorsed by U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and former presidential candidates Julian Castro and Elizabeth Warren, as well as Local 1199 of the Service Employees International Union, the largest union in New York City.

If this seems like a reasonable detail to add, could someone update the article appropriately?
