February 2017[edit]

Hello, I'm MelbourneStar. I noticed that in this edit to Liberal Democrats, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 09:04, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep them all in line? What are you talking about? The Scottish Liberal Democrat page still has the party as Centre only. They're definitely a centre to centre-left party in the UK — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBadBassist (talk • contribs) 14:03, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

March 2017[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Scottish National Party, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Shellwood (talk) 14:51, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May 2017[edit]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Social Democratic Party (UK), 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 the sandbox for that. Thank you. David J Johnson (talk) 21:18, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Social Democratic Party (UK). If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Please stop edit warring and against raft of references that state that this was a "centre party". Thank you. David J Johnson (talk) 21:22, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Social Democratic Party (UK) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Again, please refer to the many references stating the party was centre and stop giving your own POV. Thank you. David J Johnson (talk) 21:30, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

November 2019[edit]

Please stop adding unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did on John Woodcock (politician). This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:09, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

April 2020[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at John Woodcock (politician). Mattythewhite (talk) 15:41, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at John Woodcock (politician). Unsourced content. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:46, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1851 vermont gubernatorial election moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, 1851 vermont gubernatorial election, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ... discospinster _talk 19:14, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: 1851 vermont gubernatorial election (December 20)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Tagishsimon was:

It is traditional to say some words about the subject. An infobox and table is not enough. Who, what or where is Vermont? What is a gubernatorial? This is an encyclopedia. You must write as if readers do not know what you are writing about.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:1851 vermont gubernatorial election and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:1851 vermont gubernatorial election, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

February 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Cassiopeia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, 1992 United States Senate election in Alabama, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Cassiopeia talk 00:50, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to election articles[edit]

What source are you taking your numbers from? (I can for a fact assure you that, too often, they do not match up with those than can be calculated form official results (and often this is way more than the decision of how to round off the decimals)
Speaking of rounding, doesn't it make more sense to round mathematically and not down? This is usually the preferred convention for rounding (including, for example, elsewhere in the very same tables, with the percentages)
Would you mind taking the time to ensure a coherent format by avoiding random gaps in the tables? It makes more sense to rank candidates not by the first preferences but by the order they were elected/eliminated (both aesthetically, but also because this puts the most important information at the top, and organises other important information - for examples which candidates were in the running for the final seat - in a more logical way).
