Sure, the early-to-mid-20th-century South Carolina U.S. Senate elections were just foregone conclusions, based on the Democratic primaries, but I think the infoboxes for the primaries should be kept in that section. — GoldRingChip 21:03, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- @
GoldRingChip: That doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. Why not put the infobox for all elections in the "results" section then? Because the purpose of an infobox is to briefly tell the story of the election; those infoboxes do that. Keep them in the introduction to summarize the article.

GoldRingChip: No, because a 99%–1% uncompetitive landslide or unopposed race doesn't "tell the story of the election." –

Thank you for starting on the expansion of Harry Harper last week. I had that article on my watchlist and finished getting the article to a five-fold expansion. I've nominated the article for WP:DYK. See the nomination at Template:Did you know nominations/Harry Harper and propose any hook changes that you like. – Muboshgu ( talk) 15:47, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
On 1 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Harry Harper, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Harry Harper refused to play baseball on Sundays? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Harry Harper. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Harry Harper), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Seeing that you made convention maps for the republican primary articles, and I just want to say that that's a great addition. Keep up the good work. GeorgeBailey ( talk) 23:00, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
