Could we get a better picture somehow? The current photo is blurry almost to the point of uselessness Passdoubt | Talk 03:04, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No mention is made of the racially divisive rhetoric strewn around by the Street Campaigns[1], nor the egregious amount of City patronage directed at Street's immediate family, including his wife, brother [2], and son. Lack of indictments should not insulate Street from legitimate charges of incompetence and corruption.
I'm guessing that he was born in Norristown but moved down South, possibly to Alabama? The article doesn't really make that clear. Where did this farming take place? Rural Montgomery County? Even in 1950, nobody in Norristown proper was farming. Passdoubt | Talk 05:23, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed the date of birth. Street was born on October 15, 1943, not December 4, 1945. J-Red 01:54, 25 July 2006 (UTC)Outtaherephils[reply]
I added his new anti violence programs that launched last night to the Policy section. User:GShton 01:16, 28, July 2006 (UTC)
This section uses weasel words and ignores the fact that the boy scouts do discriminate against homosexuals. Someone who knows whats up should clean this up. Desertsky85451 02:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. First, the section states verifiably factual information. Secondly, the city continues to rent space to other organizations that discriminate against homosexuals including religious organizations. Third, the section relates back to specific political practices of the mayor. Finally, the section appears to be written without inflammatory language. Unless other input suggests differently, I will remove the POV signal no earlier than 8/31/06. Jpetersen46321 22:06, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Why does the Mayor's policy on the Boy Scouts warrent a section unto itself. Would this not be more appropriate under the Policy section above? Micahmj11 20:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I read a short article in the Inquirer today about how someone added the false claim to this article that Street played Bozo the Clown. It looks like the offending addition was done by 70.156.131.74, someone rightly removed it as unverified a few days later, but it was then re-added by 12.198.160.151 in the name of "fighting vandalism", his first-ever edit no less. With the mild publicity in the Inquirer it may be a good idea to keep an eye on the page. Krimpet 14:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
T. Milton Street Sr. who in 1978 was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and in 1980 to the Pennsylvania State Senate, does he desrve an article? --evrik (talk) 20:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Larry West continues to vandalize this section with claims that he approached Street. This is unsourced, unimportant, and most importantly just vanity edits on his part. Luv Skull/Larry West, please stop vandalizing other's pages simply because your vanity page was deleted on merit. Curious27 (talk) 03:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Has anyone seen this from a Philly news source?128.91.45.1 19:52, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The following statement has no place in the Policy section: "Since 2000, the average home in Philadelphia has appreciated by approximately 30 percent, and the population of Center City grew by 14 percent between 1990 and 2000." It contains events that occurred before Street's reign as mayor of Philadelphia, and therefore, not relevant to his policies while mayor. Further, the statement is a non-sequitor, using evidence about a Center City population boon between 1990 and 2000 to explain a growth in home value after 2000. The causal connection is tenuous and poorly worded.--146.145.125.131 15:45, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The section on NTI currently contains says the following
The citation given is to a broken link (Phila.gov apparently no longer has a section for NTI since the program is discontinued). I tried to Wayback Machine it and was informed that the page could not be archived because Phila.gov blocks bots or something along those lines. Does anyone know what the original source said? Either way, i suspect the passage should be rewritten a bit. NTI is far from being considered a success and the appreciation of home values has a lot more to do with national trends than NTI. I would change it myself but the page appears to be semi protected and I haven't logged on to Wiki in years - can't for the life of me rememeber my password. --155.247.155.128 (talk) 20:13, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
