Your recent editing history at Lee Zeldin 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 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.

BlueboyLINY, Please check your talk page. Please, please, pretty please. This is the type of stuff I want to avoid. Let's talk on a talk page instead of sending these heavily linked copy and paste kind of things. I want to know what I can do to IMPROVE or TWEAK or EDIT a contribuion I make, INSTEAD OF IMMEDIATELY REVERTING. I want to hear what you have to say so I can improve my editing quality!

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. These are NOT "copy & paste" they are valid warnings to stop your disruptive editing. Replacing democratic politicians photos with masked photos is disruptive. Additionally using photos from a flikr account is not acceptable per WP:UGC. Your summaries are also misleading as you're doing more than changing photos, you're adding WP:WHITESPACE to the infoboxes without explanation. You also have not responded to @Snooganssnoogans: " If you have an affiliation with Lee Zeldin and/or New York Federation of College Republicans, you need to declare it per WP:COI. BlueboyLINY (talk) 05:30, 3 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

@BlueboyLINY:Okay, that actually makes sense! I can see why you would see masked photos as a bad thing, even though masks have become pretty normal in the senate chamber. I will try and find newer photos without masks, or put the newer photos in the body of the article, just to get a newer photo somewhere in there (I think that's a good compromise). Would you be willing to make an exception for masked photos for articles where the subject has a photo that is more than 5 or 10 years old (for example, Joseph Addabbo Jr., who's current photo is almost 15 years old)? I also noticed that you didn't mark any edits as disruptive or vandalism when I put masked photos of state senate Republicans in the past (Anthony Palumbo, Mario Mattera, Alexis Weik, etc.) Should I change those as well? Should I leave them if there aren't maskless photos available? I also did not choose to respond to Snoo's COI inquiry as I don't have any affiliations like that that would affect my editing. Also, when I put a new photo in an infobox, the whitespace is added automatically, that's not me (I only click the image box). Looking forward to continuing this conversation! :) GeorgeBailey (talk) 13:18, 3 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes leave them if there is no unmasked photo available. Also, I've never heard of images not being allowed because of WP:UGC. Also, you should try the source editor with the Wikitext editor beta selected. That will allow you to not add white space. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 13:22, 3 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Why the dramatic user page redesign?

edit

What prompted such contrition? --Theturbolemming (talk) 17:58, 31 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • If you mean why I removed a bunch of things, it was just so that my apology was front and center, and because I didn't feel the need to advertise things about myself when the focus should be on articles. I also removed the list of articles I wrote because somebody went through them individually in a couple of hours and flagged them for different things and managed to get a couple of them deleted, so that was kind of depressing. Sorry if you're asking something else and I don't understand your question GeorgeBailey (talk) 21:13, 31 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

None of these sources actually prove Zeldin's claim. They all seem to be profile pieces which are not acceptable reliable sources.

  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:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

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.

Hi, GeorgeBailey. I've been watching the 2022 Minnesota State Auditor election page and I saw you added Tim Davis, the LMN candidate to the infobox, citing the result in the previous election as evidence enough to do so. I am aware this is standard practice for the election in which the candidate received over 5%, but I am not aware of that being the standard for follow-up elections. Can you point me to that standard, or is it your personal interpretation? SpeedMcCool (talk) 22:21, 26 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello there, @SpeedMcCool:! Here's the discussion from WikiProject for Elections and Referendums (https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Elections_and_Referendums/Archive_12#RfC_on_5%_threshold) that ruled that a candidate is included in the infobox when they get 5 percent of the vote, and as far as I am concerned, those "qualified" parties stick in place for the infobox until they don't. I can't point to a specific rule, but it's been my experience that previous election party results transfer over to the next, and that the only time that rule is broken is if a party nominee is polling at 5% or above. For minor party candidates, I do believe that it's better for an inclusive infobox to exist before the election and not after IF the party has done well previously OR receives a high share in polls. If there isn't a set rule, what do you think? I'd love to hear your interpretation. GeorgeBailey (talk) 22:30, 26 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your quick response. I don't think the RfC 5% threshold is meant to cover future or ongoing elections and seems to have been written about passed elections.
My reaction to it is to think about a few things: 1) whether the candidate is actively campaigning by engaging in debates, releasing statements, etc., 2) whether the candidate is covered in independent and reliable sources, 3) whether that candidate is at or above 5% in public polling (this was discussed in a comment on the RfC you attached,) and 4) whether the candidate is independently notable.
On each point, I don't think Tim Davis makes the cut: 1) Davis has not attended debates he was invited to, and is not running a campaign to my knowledge. Social media accounts linked on Davis's [1]website are either dead or just LMN Party accounts. To be fair on this point, Davis's website is developed, but I know for a fact that site's requests for volunteers are not monitored. 2) A search for Tim Davis on Google finds him only mentioned in passing in a few stories. Pretty hard to say he's notable in that regard. 3) Davis has polled near 5% (as high as 4.8%) but has lately been in the 3% range. 4) Davis is minorly independently notable, but entirely for his activism outside of elections. In elections, he's no more than a perennial candidate.
I can see the case for including him in the infobox, but I think we as editors should be very careful about elevating a candidate who is not notable for his run in this election to equal billing with candidates who are running active campaigns and are getting independent news coverage. SpeedMcCool (talk) 23:07, 26 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
I think it's a good question to bring up on the talk page. I figured he was a notable enough candidate because he had an article written about him. I'm in favor of inclusive infoboxes, but go for what you think is best. GeorgeBailey (talk) 23:31, 26 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
I think I'll remove. I think in the context of this election, Davis is not notable and we as editors should avoid augmenting his profile and potentially influencing the election by giving him major candidate billing. Thanks for your thoughts. SpeedMcCool (talk) 23:50, 26 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Big Penguin Polling

edit

Hi there. I noticed you added a link to a "Big Penguin Polling" poll for the NY gubernatorial election. I just wanted to let you know the "pollsters" in question are quite literally nothing more than a bait account on Twitter and not a real pollster - hell, the "poll" is just a bunch of numbers on a Google Drive spreadsheet - so I've removed it. ser!

@Ser!: Where is it indicated that they are a satirical account (if that's what you mean by bait)? I had only seen BPP analyzed in the New York Times as a legitimate group (https://web.archive.org/web/20220804080344/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/03/us/politics/eric-greitens-schmitt-missouri.html).

GeorgeBailey (talk) 13:52, 31 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
It's not satire, moreso just pretending to be pollsters for, for want of a better word, shits and giggles. The account hasn't received much coverage (because not many people care that much, I suppose) but this article pretty much debunks it. Hell, if you check their Twitter account, a lot of it is just pro-Republican content and arguing with random accounts, which isn't exactly what you'd expect from a legitimate pollster. Their website in the Twitter link is also just a Weebly site (free for anyone to create) riddled with spelling errors and inconsistencies. ser!

You changed "American" to "Soviet-American" in the page of Michael Novakhov. This contradicts MOS:NATIONALITY, which states that we "do not add ethnicity ("Russian-American") or country of birth ("Russian-born American")" for a person who emigrated when they were young and "continued to identify as a citizen of their adopted country". This clearly applies to people like Novakhov. On top of that, the Soviet Union hasn't existed since 1991 so he can't be a citizen or national of it. It should just be "American politician".

Proposed deletion of Kellen Curry

edit
 

The article Kellen Curry has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

All sourcing is about his campaign. Not enough non-campaign coverage to show he meets general notability guidelines.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
