Hey y'all! Cox has been discussed as a potential candidate for a recall election, specifically related to the latest of either five or six recall attempts against Governor Gavin Newsom, especially relevant since Cox donated $50,000 to this effort. If you have information to contribute on this topic specifically, please add it to the Draft on this topic. The link for that is here... Draft:2021 California gubernatorial recall election (Please do not submit this page for publication, as it may or may not end up being necessary at all. If the group pursuing this does not meet a signature guideline of 1.5 million by mid-March, the page will remain a draft. Sharing info nevertheless!)
Hello all! With the potential recall election ahead, and the 2022 gubernatorial race in CA in full swing, there's been a lot of edits to this page. I wish to discuss the words "perennial candidate". From a very basic standpoint, it just means someone who has run many times but never won, though we all know it has a more derogatory meaning. This small edit-war ended with DrSangChi stating that things should be taken to the Talk page. Therefore, I open this discussion here. I want to start by recognizing that I make the assumption all of us are here on good faith, and that there are no conflicts of interest related to campaigns. How should we use the term perennial candidate, and where should it be placed? Personally, I feel that we should have perennial candidate in the first paragraph, and that there is no need for his current candidacy to be in the first line, as this isn't the case for any other candidates. I also think he is objectively a perennial candidate, even if it could be used insultingly. But Wikipedia exists for discussion. What are everyone's thoughts?

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of John H. Cox's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 21:02, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
