$10 says I get another warning for this[edit]

It being years since I was a Wikipedia contributor, I'd forgotten how to include the [when?] in an instance when the date but not year was mentioned. I just wrote (what year?) following "October 5th" expecting someone to come along and supply the correct year. I immediately got a warning from a bot and had my edit removed. This is why I left as a Wikipedia contributor. Sorry I tried to fix things.

Suggested edit ...[edit]

Collapse suggested edit discussion opened by now blocked editor. ---Calton | Talk 02:38, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Betty McCollum, Suggested edit ... "AIPAC representatives are not welcome in my offices or for meetings with my staff"

Regarding ... Palestinian Anti-Terror Act of 2006

"Amy Rotenberg of Minnesota, spoke to the congresswoman's chief of staff after the vote and, according to McCollum, told him that "on behalf of herself, the Jewish community, AIPAC, and the voters of the Fourth District, Congresswoman McCollum's support for terrorists will not be tolerated." In response, McCollum wrote a letter to AIPAC's executive director, Howard Kohr, in which she said that until she received a written apology, "AIPAC representatives are not welcome in my offices or for meetings with my staff.""
