The day isn't over yet. However, given that presidents are sworn in at noon Eastern, I'll let the edit stand.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:23, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello Ted! I've seen your recent edit on Parsons re: Fellowship. You might need to remove the 'FRSA' suffix from the main paragraph. Also, is there a way you tracked the Fellowship? I assume at one point the subject was a Fellow, for example, what if he re-joins? Good job on picking-up on this. JPA24 ( talk) 11:17, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
You are interpreting MOS:JOBTITLES incorrectly. Many editors (though not a majority) take issue with that guideline, but none to my knowledge have ever advanced the interpretation that you’re trying to put forward. See, e.g., this attempt to modify the guideline to exempt UK political offices, which nonetheless acknowledges that, as the guideline currently stands, it requires these titles to be lowercase. If you wish to change the guideline, you can try to obtain consensus for that change at MOS talk. But as it currently stands, these titles are lowercase.

Liz Truss became Foreign SecretaryI think is correct, but
Liz Truss became the Foreign Secretaryisn't, just because of the definite article. That said, I do find it a bit strange as a result that until recently most articles failed to abide by this guideline in their ledes, especially because guidelines are decided by consensus... -- Ted Edwards 22:13, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Vanquishers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dan Starkey. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hey. Just thought you might find this funny. Yesterday evening you reverted an IP editor who said Kemi Badenoch would be the candidate eliminated in today's ballot, turns out it was actually Tom Tugendhat. I think IP needs a new crystal ball! Sideswipe9th ( talk) 19:31, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I just wanted to ask why you don't like the more detailed info box. If you think having 9 parties is unnecessary then you could have removed all but Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem and SNP. It is also the standard template for most major upcoming elections see 2022 United States House of Representatives elections, next Finnish parliamentary election and next German federal election. As well as past elections see 2020 United States House of Representatives elections, 2019 Finnish parliamentary election and 2021 German federal election. The template in terms of the information it gives and the visual representation of it is in my opinion is just better. I have started a discussion on the talk page about it. — RealFakeKim T 22:19, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance. With regard to "other stuff exists", that does not mean one article can't do the same as another, but to make a valid arguement on doing that, I think a) you need to say why it works on that article and b) why it will work on this article.
It's a reliable source and you don't know that they "have no idea" where it's from. If it's an RS and it supports the statement then it can be used as the source. Romomusicfan ( talk) 16:13, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
