1843 decrease?

In 1843, the number of NY house seats decreased from 40 to 34. 1840_United_States_Census — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.10.244.11 (talk) 18:40, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's correct. It's reflected in the article. —GoldRingChip 20:20, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The lead

The lead paragraph could use some work.

"Over the years, New York has undergone too much demographic change to consider each district to be a continuation of the same numbered district before reapportionment. For example, Carolyn Maloney has represented the 9th District since 1993, but is considered the successor of S. William Green since the current 9th takes up nearly all of the former territory of the 15th District as it existed before 1993."

"Too much" adds nothing and the whole thing needs to be re-written usiung statistics and sources. It's written in a very informal style. Howard Cleeves 00:03, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MIA

Albert D. Shaw [1] is missing from the table.--Appraiser 20:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this; I was wondering whether I should go through the time and expense of getting an old reference work to confirm all these tables, and that pretty much cements my decision. --Golbez 20:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I find the bioguide fairly easy to use and highly accurate. I've been working on the ordinal congresses and leave a note when I find errors in these articles. Editing these tables is a pain. --Appraiser 17:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edwin A. Merritt served in the 26th district following the death of George Malby - entry missing.--Appraiser 16:26, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alanson B. Houghton resigned and Lewis Henry was elected to fill the vacancy.--Appraiser 14:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Source?

This is a wonderful list and seems to be directionally correct. I got dinged for a no source citation while writing a list of Congressmen for an individual district based on the list. In checking the 1st district biographies I don't see the reference to some of the two congressmen in one term so it is problematic. In spot checking the other state delegation lists, they all suffer the problem. So, a reference would definitely be helpful!!!! Thanks. Americasroof 11:25, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge & Split proposals

Merger

See merger discussion here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Congress#List of United States Senators from X

Splitting

Proposed that this list be split into NYS Senate and NYS House pages, retaining this page as a disambig. Mbisanz (talk) 06:18, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This proposal needs a whole lot more discussion before it is implemented.--Appraiser (talk) 17:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not a fan. There are already lists of Senators and lists of House members. This page is supposed to be a combination of the two. It's the entire congressional delegations. I support an immediate reversion. Mahalo. --Ali'i 17:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Go for it, I just did it since it seemed non-controversial and it was getting hard to load over a slow connect/old comp. But if consensus says otherwise, I don't object. Mbisanz (talk) 01:45, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would note that the layout and content of the split congressional delegations (House) are different then the simple list of NYS House members. Specifically some of the party names. My logic in splitting it was that it is too large as one page to easily use. One idea might be to split both the house and senate into time periods, using this as a disambig. Mbisanz (talk) 02:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also object to the splitting. All the other states have their full congressional delegation history on a single page. Singling out New York for a split simply because it's the largest doesn't make sense. Bjoel5785 19:00, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since Bjoel5785's restoration, I've PROD' the redundant splits. Mbisanz 19:31, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Split by century

Why not split it by century? klosterdev (talk) 06:39, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose. There are articles like this for all the states and territories, and consistency is nice. This is a list and lists are "exceptions to the too long rule"—Markles 12:45, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seat numbering mistakes

Many of the representatives are listed as being from the wrong district. For example, the article has Louise Slaughter as being from the 22nd district, and she is actually from the 28th. 72.88.62.18 (talk) 18:20, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done—Markles 01:41, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1913-1923 and 1923-1933

Why are these separate sections given that the state had the same number of seats during each of these periods? Qqqqqq (talk) 20:33, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
