Hi BottleOfChocolateMilk! I hope that you understand that bias publishing an syphoning candidates who aren't democrat or republican has gotten people in litigation. According to this article, you've done this before: https://www.politicalcortadito.com/2024/02/18/manny-cid-wikipedia-page-questioned/comment-page-1/?unapproved=1266787&moderation-hash=b6b80ff3a1fd1b4f7203f8ff7d1565b3#comment-1266787 16:03, 3 September 2016 (UTC) |
Hi BottleOfChocolateMilk! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. We hope to see you there!

Hi! I wanted to drop you a note about film notability and sourcing. I noted that you had requested that an article be restored at REFUND, however I couldn't find any sourcing to show that the film exists or passes WP:NFILM. I took a look at some of the other articles you'd edited and I wanted to kind of give you an overview of sourcing and notability for films (and articles in general).
Basically, films can only pass NFILM if they have coverage in independent and reliable sources. What counts as a reliable source is fairly narrow when it comes to Wikipedia, honestly. IMDb is not considered to be a reliable source on Wikipedia because anyone can add and edit a listing on there and at most, it's considered to be a routine database listing. E-commerce sites like Amazon are also not considered to be reliable but are especially something to avoid placing on an article because e-commerce sites are seen as inherently promotional since their primary goal is to sell you something. Any other goal is pretty much secondary to that main goal. Reviews can count towards notability, but only specific types of reviews. Ratings on IMDb and audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes does not count towards notability since anyone can create an account on that site and leave a rating, so the only time that something like that should be mentioned in an article at all would be in cases like Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas. (He tried to get his fans to upvote the movie on Rotten Tomatoes, only for it to backfire hilariously.)
So what can be used? Reviews in major newspapers can be used, as can some reviews in select film websites. Since you focus on horror, the main websites that tend to be usable are Rue Morgue, Fangoria (their rep has gone down, but they're still generally seen as a RS), Ain't It Cool News (same situation here), HorrorNews.net, Dread Central, JoBlo.com's Arrow in the Head, and Bloody Disgusting. There are some other sites that fall along the RS scale, but these are the biggies. Sad thing is, most of the horror websites out there are seen as self-published sources since the majority of them don't have any sort of overview of their editorial process and don't get frequently used as a source in very reliable sources. The longevity of the site doesn't really make it more reliable on here, unfortunately. (On a side note, have you ever checked out Culture Crypt? It's not seen as a RS on here, much to my sorrow, but I love checking out their reviews since they're honest and fair.)
Now what this means is that if the sourcing isn't out there, the film fails NFILM and shouldn't be on Wikipedia. A film article typically needs about 3-4 sources to really pass notability guidelines and two of those should be reviews. The only time you can get by with less (like two sources) is when those sources claim that the film has achieved something so major that it'd pass on that guideline alone, otherwise it'd be seen to fail notability guidelines. Also, if you have a lot of sources but the only things that you have so far are short announcements that the movie is going to release, that's most likely not going to be enough to pass notability guidelines unless the sources are over a broad period of time and are fairly in-depth.
I hope that none of this discourages you - I just wanted to give you a bit of an overview as to why I didn't restore the article for you. My fear is that it fails notability guidelines and would eventually get deleted anyway. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 21:51, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Neil hansen. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Heil Hansen. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Heil Hansen. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Majavah ( t/ c) 06:19, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

reliable,
independent sources. (

verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:

In regard to this edit, you wrote, "Every Wikipedia election article I've ever seen included a blank results table before the election occurred. There's no reason not to include this now." Have you seen 2017 New York City mayoral election? As seen in this edit, the blank results table wasn't added until the day before the primary. In 2013, the results tables weren't added until after the primary had actually taken place. By contrast, the primary is now more than 4 months away. The reasons not to include the tables now is that (a) they take up a good deal of space without providing any additional information and (b) some of the candidates listed may not even wind up qualifying for the ballot. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:39, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

For non-presidential US elections, the established consensus is that we do not have the right to make a judgement of who is and isn't a major candidate, as this raises big neutrality issues.

There is no policy in Wikipedia or the democratic process that only candidates with approval ratings by polls may show up in info boxes, other media, just as there is not a policy that candidates must have a certain approval rating to be on ballots.

Thank you for valuing the sourcing of endorsements on the Nebraska Congressional Districts elections for 2022 page. Because I was limited in space, I wanted to give you further context about my Undo.
I found you eliminated multiple sources in the same edit. This makes it really hard to go through and check the validity of each source, as well as to find secondary sourcing when needed. This is a pretty important issue for an encyclopedia: did you research to find other sourcing before making this edit? If you did, then thank you, and try to make those edits individually (ie. delete all the endorsements for Source A and state why Source A is unsatisfactory and post that edit. Then, delete all the endorsements for Source B and state why Source B is unsatisfactory and post that edit. Etc.). If you didn't, please try to in the future.
Secondly, there were edits made to phrasing and grammar mixed in, at least (there were so many edits, I did not try to find other confounding edits). This is especially unhelpful because somebody would need to undo your phrasing in addition to the rest of your edits if they disagreed and sometimes (I am not accusing you of this) bad actors can "sneak in" nefarious edits amongst other edits which look like good faith changes.

Hello.
You did this revert with the following edit summary: "That doesn't really make sense, their articles were titled that way partially to distinguish them from other people with the same name. Why would you use a middle initial for only some people on a page?".
There are several errors in this rationale.
First, if someone is generally known as Anthony Brown, and there is a need for disambiguation (which there is in this case), you don't throw in a middle initial unless that is how he is known. You add a disambiguator – i.e. to Anthony Brown (politician). If there is a need to further disambiguate ( which there is), it should be Anthony Brown (Maryland politician).
See WP:COMMONNAME, section Parenthetical disambiguation ("Adding a disambiguating term in parentheses after the ambiguous name is Wikipedia's standard disambiguation technique when none of the other solutions lead to an optimal article title."), and WP:Middle names, section Middle names and initials ("Adding given names, or their abbreviations, merely for disambiguation purposes (if that format of the name is not commonly used to refer to the person) is not advised.").
Second, one should not use middle initials (or conceal them by piping) for different persons for consistency reasons throughout an article. The consistency Wikpedia uses is the WP:COMMONNAME consistency: people are referred to by their common name in Wikipedia. If one person is known as John H. Doe and another person is known Charlie Johnson, that's not a problem.
It appears to me that several of the articles on people named (and linked) in the above article need to be moved.
Cheers.

Hello, BottleOfChocolateMilk,
Thank you for creating 2023 Tucson mayoral election.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
Hi - whether a previous election is notable or not has no bearing on the assessment of notability of an upcoming election. At this point (October 2022, more than a year from the election) there appear insufficient sources to indicate that the 2023 Tucson mayoral election is notable. There are not sufficient reliable sources in the article to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:EVENTCRIT. (There is no consensus on the reliability of Ballotpedia and that piece does not satisfy SIGCOV) WP:CRYSTAL indicates that articles about almost certain future events are allowed, but that does not mean they are excluded from the requirements to satisfy the GNG. Please add sufficient reliable sourcing to satisfy the GNG before removing the tag. Regards,

72.132.8.90, stop removing the gray bar from the infoboxes. There are plenty of pages for nonpartisan elections on Wikipedia that use the gray bar (because GRAY IS LITERALLY THE COLOR FOR NONPARTISAN CANDIDATES AND DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO A POLITICAL PARTY), because it greatly helps the formatting. As I pointed out, having no color bar breaks the District 3 infobox as there is no visual separation between the first and second rows. There is no party listed for anyone anywhere on the page, nobody will assume that the color gray represents one unnamed party everyone is a member of. There is no "confusion" and you can't keep undoing this because "it's confusing because I say so" BottleOfChocolateMilk ( talk) 07:39, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
In regard to this edit, you are correct that the colwidth parameter of Template:Endorsements box does not require the use of "em". However, it is not the case that "adding the "em" breaks it and makes it so there are no columns". Looking at 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries#Endorsements right now, I see that Ron DeSantis has "colwidth=60em" and his endorsements are in 2 columns. Donald Trump has "colwidth=60" and his endorsements are (at least for me) shown in 7 columns. If you have a different size monitor, your experience may vary. If you are seeing something very different from what I am seeing as to DeSantis's and Trump's endorsements, let me know. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 08:09, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

A new edit to the 2024 United States Senate election in Michigan adds a Democratic candidate and the only supporting citation is that candidate's web site. Without a journalistic or government citation to back up the edit, it was deleted. But that was reverted without adding another supporting citation. Please take a look at the article.

Hey! Saw the note on the reversion edit from me adding (back; which I didn't even realize that I was the second person to put in a candidate photo table lol), so I thought I'd leave a message on your board to discuss it! While I disagree with the idea that not having half the photos makes it "ugly", admittedly, it does make it look a little incomplete. However, other folks (myself included) are trying to get usable photos for all the candidates soon; for example, I got a photo of Freddie O'Connell tonight. Not to mention, keeping the spots open for others to upload photos leads to other people uploading photos they have of the candidates.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Hello! I adjusted the County officials label in Trone's endorsements list initially because I thought it would create continuity between Alsobrooks' and Trone's list, since county officials in Alsobrooks' endorsements list were all county-level officials.

Hi BottleOfChocolateMilk! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of 2024 United States Senate elections several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:2024 United States Senate elections, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. -Lemonaka 01:03, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being
blocked from editing—especially if you violate the
three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three
reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please join the discussion at
Talk:2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas#District 23, Herrera endorsements to try to reach
consensus on who should appear in the list. —

If you're interested:
"I concede that this event was more important to the race when I thought, so I moved your paragraph out of the box."
It just doesn't matter if it's in "the box". That means it doesn't matter if it's in the box, also.
"Link me one Wikipedia page that has an entire paragraph in an endorsement box. Just one."
This is meaningless to me unless there is some rule about it. Link me to a single additional Wikipedia page on a politician who accepted an endorsement from Matthew Shea or another person accused of domestic terrorism, on stage, and took 19 days to actually reject it.
"Also, why do you keep insisting that "he is a threat to our democracy and I regret publicly appearing with him" doesn't constitute a rejection of his endorsement?"
I don't "keep" insisting that. I had to go well out of my way to find that quotation *for you*. And it's still not a clear rejection of an endorsement. It doesn't even mention any form of the word "endorsement". For perspective, if you're interested, see if you can find Cathy Rodgers recommending people get a COVID-19 vaccination. These people are in politics, and being able to truthfully *technically* deny you said something is very important, even if you are basically almost mostly saying what your opponents might want to hear.
"Does Woodward need to stand up on stage and literally say the words "endorsement rejected" or what?""
Pretty much. Saying the equivalent of "we don't like Shea" is not saying the same thing.

I have nominated Lori Geary, Jennifer York, Leila Feinstein, Fidel Vargas and Paul Richards (politician) for deletion. I think I may stop there. Gregory Salcido is the subject of several articles from CBS, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, so I believe he has WP:SIGCOV, though he definitely wasn't notable when the article was created. A very experienced editor also rewrote Lyn Vaughn, claiming they were notable.

Sorry to clutter your talk page, but in case you didn't know, the AfD discussion of Manny Cid gained a mention in the most recent edition of The Signpost. Even better, a new article was published about the AfD shortly after it was closed, where Cid goes even more in depth. What I perhaps like the most is that Cid practically admits to having a CoI in the middle of his speech about us disrespecting the founding fathers. Apparently we need to be investigated by Wikipedia for our leftist for-hire agenda, and we are a threat to democracy.

This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work.

Hello, BottleOfChocolateMilk,
I've noticed that your participation in AFD deletion discussions typically involves just stating "Delete per nomination" which is an unhelpful comment. I typically ignore these comments when considering an AFD closure.

Hello,
I think you accidentally deleted actual endorsements on the Indiana page I made. These are NOT the ones made by the Mark Hurt guy that are not verified at all. They were actual ones I did for IN-03 and IN-06, and sourced to IndyStar. Please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:803:8100:6850:68E8:910:CBBB:8974 ( talk) 03:58, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
Hey there,
I wanted to understand where you're coming from removing candidates who failed to qualify for primary ballots under the guise they "failed to file." In terms of the Senate election in Virginia; Hickman, Lowe, and Vitiello did file with the Federal Election Commission. They simply failed to gather enough petition signatures to qualify for the primary ballot. In terms of the House elections, removing Johnson in the 5th and Moher (x2) is accurate since neither did file. Moher having failed to file in either of the seats he was supposedly running for. As in the Senate race though you removed Sacks and Tarpley in the 7th who also filed with the FEC. Then the same in the 10th with Beatty, McDade, and Taylor who all filed. I can see a point in removing Tarpley, Beatty, and McDade since none of them filed finance reports with the FEC. With other filed candidates who had no expenditures not being listed previously either. I guess I just don't understand why in particular the three aforementioned Senate candidates including Sacks and Taylor in the House elections were removed. Hope you're well and to hear from you. - ThisUserIsTaken ( talk) 06:58, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I wanted to drop you a note about film notability and sourcing. I noted that you had requested that an article be restored at REFUND, however I couldn't find any sourcing to show that the film exists or passes WP:NFILM. I took a look at some of the other articles you'd edited and I wanted to kind of give you an overview of sourcing and notability for films (and articles in general).
Basically, films can only pass NFILM if they have coverage in independent and reliable sources. What counts as a reliable source is fairly narrow when it comes to Wikipedia, honestly. IMDb is not considered to be a reliable source on Wikipedia because anyone can add and edit a listing on there and at most, it's considered to be a routine database listing. E-commerce sites like Amazon are also not considered to be reliable but are especially something to avoid placing on an article because e-commerce sites are seen as inherently promotional since their primary goal is to sell you something. Any other goal is pretty much secondary to that main goal. Reviews can count towards notability, but only specific types of reviews. Ratings on IMDb and audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes does not count towards notability since anyone can create an account on that site and leave a rating, so the only time that something like that should be mentioned in an article at all would be in cases like Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas. (He tried to get his fans to upvote the movie on Rotten Tomatoes, only for it to backfire hilariously.)
So what can be used? Reviews in major newspapers can be used, as can some reviews in select film websites. Since you focus on horror, the main websites that tend to be usable are Rue Morgue, Fangoria (their rep has gone down, but they're still generally seen as a RS), Ain't It Cool News (same situation here), HorrorNews.net, Dread Central, JoBlo.com's Arrow in the Head, and Bloody Disgusting. There are some other sites that fall along the RS scale, but these are the biggies. Sad thing is, most of the horror websites out there are seen as self-published sources since the majority of them don't have any sort of overview of their editorial process and don't get frequently used as a source in very reliable sources. The longevity of the site doesn't really make it more reliable on here, unfortunately. (On a side note, have you ever checked out Culture Crypt? It's not seen as a RS on here, much to my sorrow, but I love checking out their reviews since they're honest and fair.)
Now what this means is that if the sourcing isn't out there, the film fails NFILM and shouldn't be on Wikipedia. A film article typically needs about 3-4 sources to really pass notability guidelines and two of those should be reviews. The only time you can get by with less (like two sources) is when those sources claim that the film has achieved something so major that it'd pass on that guideline alone, otherwise it'd be seen to fail notability guidelines. Also, if you have a lot of sources but the only things that you have so far are short announcements that the movie is going to release, that's most likely not going to be enough to pass notability guidelines unless the sources are over a broad period of time and are fairly in-depth.
I hope that none of this discourages you - I just wanted to give you a bit of an overview as to why I didn't restore the article for you. My fear is that it fails notability guidelines and would eventually get deleted anyway. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 21:51, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Neil hansen. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Heil Hansen. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Heil Hansen. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Majavah ( t/ c) 06:19, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

In regard to this edit, you wrote, "Every Wikipedia election article I've ever seen included a blank results table before the election occurred. There's no reason not to include this now." Have you seen 2017 New York City mayoral election? As seen in this edit, the blank results table wasn't added until the day before the primary. In 2013, the results tables weren't added until after the primary had actually taken place. By contrast, the primary is now more than 4 months away. The reasons not to include the tables now is that (a) they take up a good deal of space without providing any additional information and (b) some of the candidates listed may not even wind up qualifying for the ballot. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:39, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

For non-presidential US elections, the established consensus is that we do not have the right to make a judgement of who is and isn't a major candidate, as this raises big neutrality issues.

Thank you for valuing the sourcing of endorsements on the Nebraska Congressional Districts elections for 2022 page. Because I was limited in space, I wanted to give you further context about my Undo.
I found you eliminated multiple sources in the same edit. This makes it really hard to go through and check the validity of each source, as well as to find secondary sourcing when needed. This is a pretty important issue for an encyclopedia: did you research to find other sourcing before making this edit? If you did, then thank you, and try to make those edits individually (ie. delete all the endorsements for Source A and state why Source A is unsatisfactory and post that edit. Then, delete all the endorsements for Source B and state why Source B is unsatisfactory and post that edit. Etc.). If you didn't, please try to in the future.
Secondly, there were edits made to phrasing and grammar mixed in, at least (there were so many edits, I did not try to find other confounding edits). This is especially unhelpful because somebody would need to undo your phrasing in addition to the rest of your edits if they disagreed and sometimes (I am not accusing you of this) bad actors can "sneak in" nefarious edits amongst other edits which look like good faith changes.

Hello.
You did this revert with the following edit summary: "That doesn't really make sense, their articles were titled that way partially to distinguish them from other people with the same name. Why would you use a middle initial for only some people on a page?".
There are several errors in this rationale.
First, if someone is generally known as Anthony Brown, and there is a need for disambiguation (which there is in this case), you don't throw in a middle initial unless that is how he is known. You add a disambiguator – i.e. to Anthony Brown (politician). If there is a need to further disambiguate ( which there is), it should be Anthony Brown (Maryland politician).
See WP:COMMONNAME, section Parenthetical disambiguation ("Adding a disambiguating term in parentheses after the ambiguous name is Wikipedia's standard disambiguation technique when none of the other solutions lead to an optimal article title."), and WP:Middle names, section Middle names and initials ("Adding given names, or their abbreviations, merely for disambiguation purposes (if that format of the name is not commonly used to refer to the person) is not advised.").
Second, one should not use middle initials (or conceal them by piping) for different persons for consistency reasons throughout an article. The consistency Wikpedia uses is the WP:COMMONNAME consistency: people are referred to by their common name in Wikipedia. If one person is known as John H. Doe and another person is known Charlie Johnson, that's not a problem.
It appears to me that several of the articles on people named (and linked) in the above article need to be moved.
Cheers.

Hello, BottleOfChocolateMilk,
Thank you for creating 2023 Tucson mayoral election.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
Hi - whether a previous election is notable or not has no bearing on the assessment of notability of an upcoming election. At this point (October 2022, more than a year from the election) there appear insufficient sources to indicate that the 2023 Tucson mayoral election is notable.

72.132.8.90, stop removing the gray bar from the infoboxes. There are plenty of pages for nonpartisan elections on Wikipedia that use the gray bar (because GRAY IS LITERALLY THE COLOR FOR NONPARTISAN CANDIDATES AND DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO A POLITICAL PARTY), because it greatly helps the formatting. As I pointed out, having no color bar breaks the District 3 infobox as there is no visual separation between the first and second rows. There is no party listed for anyone anywhere on the page, nobody will assume that the color gray represents one unnamed party everyone is a member of. There is no "confusion" and you can't keep undoing this because "it's confusing because I say so" BottleOfChocolateMilk ( talk) 07:39, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
In regard to this edit, you are correct that the colwidth parameter of Template:Endorsements box does not require the use of "em". However, it is not the case that "adding the "em" breaks it and makes it so there are no columns". Looking at 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries#Endorsements right now, I see that Ron DeSantis has "colwidth=60em" and his endorsements are in 2 columns. Donald Trump has "colwidth=60" and his endorsements are (at least for me) shown in 7 columns. If you have a different size monitor, your experience may vary. If you are seeing something very different from what I am seeing as to DeSantis's and Trump's endorsements, let me know. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 08:09, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Hey! Saw the note on the reversion edit from me adding (back; which I didn't even realize that I was the second person to put in a candidate photo table lol), so I thought I'd leave a message on your board to discuss it! While I disagree with the idea that not having half the photos makes it "ugly", admittedly, it does make it look a little incomplete. However, other folks (myself included) are trying to get usable photos for all the candidates soon; for example, I got a photo of Freddie O'Connell tonight. Not to mention, keeping the spots open for others to upload photos leads to other people uploading photos they have of the candidates.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Hello! I adjusted the County officials label in Trone's endorsements list initially because I thought it would create continuity between Alsobrooks' and Trone's list, since county officials in Alsobrooks' endorsements list were all county-level officials.

Hi BottleOfChocolateMilk! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of 2024 United States Senate elections several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:2024 United States Senate elections, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. -Lemonaka 01:03, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being
blocked from editing—especially if you violate the
three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three
reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please join the discussion at

If you're interested:
"I concede that this event was more important to the race when I thought, so I moved your paragraph out of the box."
It just doesn't matter if it's in "the box". That means it doesn't matter if it's in the box, also.
"Link me one Wikipedia page that has an entire paragraph in an endorsement box. Just one."
This is meaningless to me unless there is some rule about it. Link me to a single additional Wikipedia page on a politician who accepted an endorsement from Matthew Shea or another person accused of domestic terrorism, on stage, and took 19 days to actually reject it.
"Also, why do you keep insisting that "he is a threat to our democracy and I regret publicly appearing with him" doesn't constitute a rejection of his endorsement?"
I don't "keep" insisting that. I had to go well out of my way to find that quotation *for you*. And it's still not a clear rejection of an endorsement. It doesn't even mention any form of the word "endorsement". For perspective, if you're interested, see if you can find Cathy Rodgers recommending people get a COVID-19 vaccination. These people are in politics, and being able to truthfully *technically* deny you said something is very important, even if you are basically almost mostly saying what your opponents might want to hear.
"Does Woodward need to stand up on stage and literally say the words "endorsement rejected" or what?""
Pretty much. Saying the equivalent of "we don't like Shea" is not saying the same thing.

I have nominated Lori Geary, Jennifer York, Leila Feinstein, Fidel Vargas and Paul Richards (politician) for deletion. I think I may stop there. Gregory Salcido is the subject of several articles from CBS, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, so I believe he has WP:SIGCOV, though he definitely wasn't notable when the article was created. A very experienced editor also rewrote Lyn Vaughn, claiming they were notable.

Sorry to clutter your talk page, but in case you didn't know, the AfD discussion of Manny Cid gained a mention in the most recent edition of The Signpost. Even better, a new article was published about the AfD shortly after it was closed, where Cid goes even more in depth. What I perhaps like the most is that Cid practically admits to having a CoI in the middle of his speech about us disrespecting the founding fathers. Apparently we need to be investigated by Wikipedia for our leftist for-hire agenda, and we are a threat to democracy. I don't know about you, but I'm rather honored that someone would think I'm that important. Anyway, did you receive your paycheck from Daniella Levine Cava yet? /s AllTheUsernamesAreInUse ( talk) 04:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, you recently reverted my edit at 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in New York; per WP:BRD, I'd like to discuss it at the talkpage. Thanks! :) Unknown-Tree🌲? ( talk) 21:30, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I saw you added Brian Jack's endorsement. I attempted to add the Endorsements for Mike Crane and Mike Dugan but I do not know how to visually edit bold into it. Could you please insert those please.

Is it possible to bold and bulletin endorsement boxes using visual editing?
Thank you!

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Mikeblas ( talk) 21:46, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Why not wait until the primaries are over rather than declaring a candidate the presumptive nominee? It just makes wikipedia and its editors look biased. Crumbletower ( talk) 18:48, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
I don’t believe this article in any way qualifies for deletion. If you believe otherwise, please explain. SmashingThreePlates ( talk) 02:29, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I am trying to upload pictures of Iowa state legislators, right now namely Joshua Meggers and Ken Carlson, from their portraits on the website, and I have no clue what I'm doing. I saw that you have some experience in this field and was wondering if you could offer any assistance? Like, what do I select in the release rights section? I don't know too much about licenses and I also don't know where to find licensing information for the portraits at the Iowa Legislature website, though this template says that they are not copyrighted and can be used at any time. Overall, I'm just kind of at a loss here. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse ( talk) 20:40, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, BottleOfChocolateMilk,
I've noticed that your participation in AFD deletion discussions typically involves just stating "Delete per nomination" which is an unhelpful comment. I typically ignore these comments when considering an AFD closure. Comments like these don't demonstrate that you have carefully evaluated the article and assessed its sources, much less spent time looking for additional sources. Participating thoughtfully in deletion discussions requires time, effort and a solid knowledge of Wikipedia policy. You are an experienced editor so that should be no problem so please do more than read the nomination statement and make a real contribution to the discussion if you choose to participate in one. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:22, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. -- D'n'B- t -- 19:45, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello,
On November 25, 2023 you added a category I created, Category:American politicians who are the sole member of their party in statewide office, to a series of pages. It has now been nominated for deletion. Since you appear to agree that the category is useful and defining, would you please consider voting Keep on its deletion entry here?
Thank you very much for your consideration. 1Matt20 ( talk) 16:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello,
I think you accidentally deleted actual endorsements on the Indiana page I made. These are NOT the ones made by the Mark Hurt guy that are not verified at all. They were actual ones I did for IN-03 and IN-06, and sourced to IndyStar. Please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:803:8100:6850:68E8:910:CBBB:8974 ( talk) 03:58, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
Hey there,
I wanted to understand where you're coming from removing candidates who failed to qualify for primary ballots under the guise they "failed to file." In terms of the Senate election in Virginia; Hickman, Lowe, and Vitiello did file with the Federal Election Commission. They simply failed to gather enough petition signatures to qualify for the primary ballot. In terms of the House elections, removing Johnson in the 5th and Moher (x2) is accurate since neither did file. Moher having failed to file in either of the seats he was supposedly running for. As in the Senate race though you removed Sacks and Tarpley in the 7th who also filed with the FEC. Then the same in the 10th with Beatty, McDade, and Taylor who all filed. I can see a point in removing Tarpley, Beatty, and McDade since none of them filed finance reports with the FEC. With other filed candidates who had no expenditures not being listed previously either. I guess I just don't understand why in particular the three aforementioned Senate candidates including Sacks and Taylor in the House elections were removed. Hope you're well and to hear from you. - ThisUserIsTaken ( talk) 06:58, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

I reverted your edit at 2024 United States House of Representative election in Alaska because it was unreferenced and referred to a living person as a "federal prisoner", so is a possible WP:BLP violation. Adam Black talk • contribs 21:59, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
