Hello, I'm here to give you a friendly reminder regarding your edits at Speaker of the United States House of Representatives election, 2019 and to explain why I have reverted them.

I am confident that these edits were constructive and made with good intentions, and I also believe that they were most likely accurate and therefore can be sourced, but they were done in an improper way.

When removing a candidate from the list of "Potential Candidates" because they declined to run, please:

1. Put their name under the "Declined" section which exists for this purpose rather than remove any mention of them
2. Add a citation that lets the reader verify that the candidate declined to run.

Content on Wikipedia needs to be verifiable, and it would confuse the reader for their names to simply not be there, as it wouldn't lead them to think they declined to run if there are no names in the declined section.

I also noticed in your edit summary when removing the name "Barbara Lee" that you noted:

to say she might run because you want her to is not constructive.

This is assuming bad faith on the part of the editors that added them, as there are many articles which have included her name, and in the past she has in fact expressed a desire to run for speaker. The editors that added her name did not do so with malicious or biased intentions. This is not to say that you were incorrect to remove her name, but rather that the editors who originally added her name did so with good intent.

As I believe your edits were meant to be constructive, I encourage you to readd them. However, please move the names into the correct section with citations rather than deleting them. The difference in byte size after your edit should be positive in this case, as you should be adding the citations without removing any names, but collectively you removed 1,301 bytes.

Thank you.

Lee was listed without any citations and was clearly edited in by someone who had an agenda in doing so based on their contribution history. The user also removed Lee from the declined list (which was cited) and added them to the list of contenders. Regardless, changes have been made with citations.

Furthermore, Frank Pallone was listed with one citation that made no mention of him running for Speaker. Pallone has said nothing that implied he was going to run and the cited article did not either. He was removed, but since he wasn't actually mentioned as running by literally anyone he was not added to the declined section.

Thank you. KingForPA (talk) 22:56, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Discretionary Sanctions Notification - American Politics

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hi KingForPA! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at List of Penn Law School alumni that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information.

Klappar – Pettable

Hei hei! I was looking at this edit, and I was wondering where you got the translation from? If I recall correctly, "klappbar" should be "pettable", while "klappar" might have multiple meanings, but I assume it's referring to "petting" (verb)? EdoAug (talk) 00:47, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
