Re: EASTEREGG

Yes, but if you read the discussion, he said for non-judicial appointees. There's the difference. Snickers2686 (talk) 07:41, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

No, you're reading what you want to read. He's saying use the same thing. Again, WP:EASTEREGG is plain. Again, you continuing to not address this with me or on the wikiproject specifically because you know other people will disagree is WP:CANVASSING. And fighting to maintain visibility on pages that you edit and want attention on is WP:OWN. Talk later. Therequiembellishere (talk) 07:44, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

I highly doubt the format is wrong since, as I've said, that's how it's been done for 2000+ federal judge articles with no issue. Snickers2686 (talk) 07:45, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

It is and just because you've specifically put it on 2000+ pages doesn't make it right. Whichever editor also uses every fucking unused useless infobox field, leaving thousands of bytes of messy code every time there's a new nominee, is also demonstrably wrong but they do it every time. It doesn't make it right. This is an asininely rich argument to make about judges because it's so anti-jurisprudential lol. "It's wrong a lot so it must be right!" ???? Therequiembellishere (talk) 07:47, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

And given the comment you just made in the edit summary, that suggests to me you're not willing to have a discussion. So much for being WP:CIVIL. Snickers2686 (talk) 07:48, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

No, you make dozens of rvs after being told you're wrong and then continue to do so after "trying to discuss" and then continue to talk behind my back on another page, so I'm trying to get through the density of your skull. Therequiembellishere (talk) 07:50, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@Therequiembellishere: If all you're going to do is throw insults without having a discussion, then we're done here. Snickers2686 (talk) 07:56, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

No, I'm telling you that you're wrong and you pointedly keep ignoring it and then rving like you're still right, and then act shocked that it's fucking annoying. You're being obstinate, and I'm going to be upfront about it, and the dozens of times you have blatantly ignored being wrong is well past the point of you meekly waving the CIVIL flag. I can see why you "don't always get the warmest reception" at the wikiproject. Therequiembellishere (talk) 08:00, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Science in the cabinet

First, don't tell someone they have a "limited knowledge" of anything - you don't know what people know (also comes off like you're some kind of big shot expert talking down to a commoner...not cool).

Second, I was going by what the official White House cabinet site has listed, which is the Office of Science and Technology Director spot.

I'd almost be inclined to think - after reading both the WH site and the Science Policy site - that both spots are in the cabinet.

Biden splitting the jobs has thrown a monkey wrench into things, but there are legit sources that would indicate they should both be in there.

Using circa

Hi, I thought I should probably explain a bit more about why I've taken to use the circa note for death announcements that don't explicitly include a date. I'd say a good portion of the time, it does turn out to be the date the announcement was made, but certainly not always.

A recent example that sticks out in my mind, because the date of death turned out to be somewhat disputed, was for Richard Shepherd: the original death announcement was made, without a date, on February 21, 2022, so I placed c. February 21 in the article until his obituaries began giving a date of February 19 (the dispute happened when another source gave a death date of February 1 before being corrected to the 19th as a typo). So I don't even like to err on the side of making that assumption, and I just read/source death announcements at face value.--Sunshineisles2 (talk) 18:09, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Template:Florida statewide political officials‎

Hi there, thanks for your recent edits updating pages after the Laurel Lee resignation. I see that you've added the Florida Secretary of State in the statewide political officials infobox. SOS is one of 20 appointed state agency heads, and the position is not even mentioned in the state constitution. I think adding SOS as the sole appointed executive official the infobox merits further discussion. Starrfruit (talk) 02:50, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Question

Hi! I want to find some common ground on the Chesa Boudin infocard. So what’s your reason really on editing it to that way. I know you said on the edit it’s because we can use the original article, however before if you clicked “Recalled”, it would take you to the article on the recall and just explained the TBD with a note.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! It's clearly no accident on your part after multiple editors have asked for you to implement them more often, and I don't know why you continue to disregard such requests, but please stop this bad habit of yours and start using more edit summaries.

Re: Jill Underly

I want to confirm with you - as a person who studies state government machinery professionally - that Wisconsin's constitution requires the superintendent of public instruction be elected in the manner identical to judges, i.e., by way of a nonpartisan spring election. Wisconsin has elected judges through nonpartisan spring elections since its territorial days, and those practices remain enshrined in its 1848 constitution. The superintendent of public instruction was originally elected on a partisan ballot during the fall election like the other constitutional officers. However, a constitutional amendment was passed in 1902 than switched over to the judicial election methodology (see The Wisconsin Blue Book 1940, pg. 247). What follows are the relevant constitutional provisions:

Article X, Section 1 states, inter alia, "The state superintendent shall be chosen by the qualified electors of the state at the same time and in the same manner as members of the supreme court, and shall hold office for 4 years from the succeeding first Monday in July."

Article VII, Section 4, Subsection (1) also states, inter alia, "Justices shall be elected for 10-year terms of office commencing with the August 1 next succeeding the election."

Finally, Article VII, Section 9 includes the following language, inter alia, "There shall be no election for a justice or judge at the partisan general election for state or county officers, nor within 30 days either before or after such election." Mcvayn (talk) 11:24, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Cool, I know what a nonpartisan election is. It doesn't mean the person doesn't belong to a political party. Underly is still a Democrat. Therequiembellishere (talk) 13:24, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

She may be more progressive-leaning on certain issues, but that in and of itself does not necessarily make Dr. Underly a Democrat. By that logic, a regular voter can be pigeonholed into a single ideology simply by reason of sharing one position with a political party. This fallacy doesn't bear out in reality. For example, the Pierce county auditor in Washington is running for secretary of state this election cycle as a nonpartisan candidate. She endorsed the last elected secretary of state, a Republican, before she resigned to work in the federal government. And yet in the same breath, the candidate happens to be more progressive on post-incarceration voting rights than the Democratic incumbent appointed by Governor Jay Inslee. Does this make her a Republican? A Democrat? A genuine nonpartisan? This is why I believe pigeonholing any nonpartisan candidate into the ideology of a party is inherently problematic. Humans are complex organisms with political views derived from an interplay of both upbringing and lived experiences, which in turn is reinforced by sociocultural exposure. When people run as nonpartisans for partisan offices, or like Dr. Underly run for constitutionally nonpartisan offices, we should have the grace to acknowledge that their personal ideological leanings may not neatly overlay those of a political party.

Also, Wisconsin's courts have interpreted the constitutional provisions regarding judges and the state superintendent over the many decades to mean that an individual cannot run for either office and formally belong to a political party. If you visit the Wisconsin Democratic or Republican party websites, you will see that neither party lists Underly as a member for that reason. For some historical reference on this phenomenon, I encourage you to read the obituary of Dr. Eleazer Root, Wisconsin's first state superintendent of public instruction at the State Historical Society, plus Jacksonian Democracy and the Wisconsin Constitution. Dr. Root literally wrote article X of the state constitution and was one of the few members of the constitutional convention that was neither a Republican nor a Democrat. The latter source material discusses the various influences of Jacksonian democracy in Wisconsin, including the nonpartisan nature of Wisconsin's local governments, judiciary, and state superintendent's office. You will need to inquire with the Marquette Law Review for a copy of Jacksonian Democracy and the Wisconsin Constitution.

Common Ground

Look, I don't want to start another editing war, but can you please explain why we shouldn't link the Acting or President pro tempore? It is common practice to do both. The Incumbent tag is already link always, so why wouldn't we link the acting? Bbraxtonlee (talk) 04:00, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

WP:OVERLINK. It's not common practice beyond LA, and if it is anywhere else then it's incorrect there too. "Incumbent" is linked because that's in the coding of the template but it probably shouldn't be either. Therequiembellishere (talk) 04:04, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

@Therequiembellishere: Hey so we kinda got it figured out on the talk page or O'Farrell. But I wanted to ask about the Assistant President pro tempore infobox card. I get that the infobox shouldn't be a resume (because trust me long infoboxes are annoying) but the fact that she doesn't hold any office now, and the fact that all the other Assistant President pro tempore's have theirs on, and the fact that it would only be 5 offices on her box kinda makes me think about putting it on. But I would like to hear your side of your opinion? :) Bbraxtonlee (talk) 04:40, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Please stop deleting

Please stop deleting political offices from the infobox at your whim without first discussing it on the talk page as you did for Ellen Weaver. It's hardly insignificant. See SC Acts A282, R330, H4662. Thanks.Dr. Blazer (talk) 03:04, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Great. It's still a civilian appointment to a state legislative oversight committee. Which, sorry, is not significant enough for an infobox. The role itself has to be notable, not just the person holding it. And it's not. Therequiembellishere (talk) 04:46, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Interesting

Hmmm seems like a lot of users have been bothered by your edits as well. Now I don't want to escalate this for your sake, but it has been agreed upon by multiple users that the 3 "acting presidents" should be removed since nowhere in the constitution says that the prime minister becomes an acting head of state. The constitution even specifically states that the office should be vacant. Prodrummer619 (talk) 15:45, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Seems like you and a single other (not "a lot") extremely new accounts don't know how to use a reliable source and not their own original research. If you can manage that, fine. If you can't, you're out of line. Therequiembellishere (talk) 15:47, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Seems that you don’t check references well. In the article President of Lebanon, the Lebanese constitution is in the references which specifically states that the “presidency” is vacant and only some of the presidential powers are delegated to the council of ministers, and not the prime minister. That is notwithstanding the fact that many (and yes not just the extremely new account you’re referencing) Lebanese accounts agree, substantiated by the appropriate references. E3f4b5 (talk) 17:49, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

I’ve added a heavily referenced paragraph titled “Vacancy” in the article “President of Lebanon” that settles this debate once and for all. E3f4b5 (talk) 18:28, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

The OP made zero effort to make a reference and just kept reverting, so seems like there weren't any references to check. Glad you all figured out how this works. Therequiembellishere (talk) 19:14, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you changed Arizona Attorney General to Attorney General of Arizona with the explanation How people talk.

I understand your point: we often colloquially refer to attorneys general as "Attorney General of...", but in Arizona, like just about every state as far as I can tell, the name of the office is Arizona Attorney General. See the official website as well as [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].

I simply pulled these out of the News section of a search for "Arizona Attorney General"; a similar search for "Attorney General of Arizona" just shows sources using "Arizona Attorney General". Augusthorsesdroppings10 (talk) 00:18, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

It's about consistency across pages. MN State House districts are subject to redistricting and that can, but doesn't always change the number of a member's district.

On the issue of advisors

Listen if it bothers you that title has 5+ people yes i understand that maybe we should remove it or make it collapsible I get that but the Senior Advisor article has a list of people who have served so i think its important that this is shown in the infobox all other white house positions work this way also pls dont revert lets discuss it here Friendlyhistorian (talk) 17:29, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

The difference being that all other WH positions are actual jobs and not a sinecure title. It is not the purpose of the infobox to be a resume, and we can/should/do adequately link and source in the article prose where appropriate. This is one of those outside the beltway confusions that bedevil wikipedia so often, much like the broader titles of SAP, DAP and ATP simply indicate rank. And yet people will try to add an infobox section saying "Assistant to the President" like that's a job in an of itself when that simply isn't true. The same holds for Senior Advisor and Counselor (traditionally the even more senior sinecure title), and to try and indicate some sort of linearity of succession as well as "alongside" a bevy of other people who work in entirely separate areas is just wrong and not encyclopedic. We should list actually positions that do follow those infobox usages when they are notable and usually only principal roles. Senior advisors are simply being misinterpreted and don't meet the criteria. Therequiembellishere (talk) 17:50, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Listen i get that but they are getting that title for reason right they must be doing something otherwise why do they have it . If i remember correctly President pro tempore emeritus is also just a title but its still in the infobox Friendlyhistorian (talk) 17:59, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Ok hear me out i have an idea i do think we should remove the serving with other its kinda dumb and should do what the Podesta article does he is Senior Advisor to the President for Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation Neera is Senior Advisor for Health care Policy and United States Digital Service i do feel you though there is a big lack of standardization in wikipedia i mostly work on lists and electoral results so I get were you are coming from Friendlyhistorian (talk) 18:03, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Clumsy sentence in United States Postmaster General needs help

I see that you did a lot of work on this article in July, and I'm hoping the subject is still fresh enough for you. There is a very clumsy sentence, that's been clumsy for a couple of years at least.

Currently it reads:

The postmaster general is now appointed by the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service, appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate.

Previously it read:

The postmaster general is now appointed by nine "governors", appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate.

The "appointed... appointed..." leads to confusion and rereading and continued confusion. It really looks like someone didn't clean up completely when changing from "(PMG) appointed by the president" to "(PMG) appointed by Board of Gov...". Even adding the words "which is" before the second 'appointed' would help only a little.

I'm thinking it would be better overall not to attempt to succinctly repeat here how the Board gets formed. Rather, with the nice link available to satisfy all curiosity, just have:

The postmaster general is now appointed by the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service.

Fleming

While you're right that AP/DAP/SAP are ranks and typically not used alone as titles, that's what the White House [7] used for Fleming. Every other DCOS listed in official records was explicitly given that title, in addition to the AP rank. Whether or not Fleming felt that he essentially performed that function, other people were explicitly given the title and Fleming was not, and that's the biographical standard. The article reflects what he felt his duties were and his proximity to the COS office. Constantsusan (talk) 01:00, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

(watching:) I only use education, for all, because Alma mater is a term and concept not generally known. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:23, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Well, we do have the article alma mater, for anyone who's unsure. Yes, Template:Infobox person suggests they are alternatives. But also mentions "article talk page consensus". Perhaps Therequiembellishere can get you to add edit summaries for their edits? Martinevans123 (talk) 10:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

As for places, I agree that the state, district, county or what adds to a place being better located within a country. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:26, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Template:Infobox person says: "Countries should generally not be linked". For a big city like London, I don't see any problem in adding the district, such as, for example, Streatham for Naga Munchetty. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:36, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

We agree. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:51, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

July 2024

Hello, I'm DeFacto. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Shadow Cabinet of Rishi Sunak, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! -- DeFacto (talk). 18:55, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

(Wisconsin) Republican Party

Hi I've seen you undid my edits on members of The Wisconsin GOP. I did Undo some of your changes "not all of them". May I Get a reason why you disagree with the addition of the state GOP to the Wikipedia articles. Thank You. Zyxrq (talk) 19:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

It's completely unnecessary and does not appreciably inform a reader in any way. They are elected officials of the Republican Party, which has state level party that are effectively chapters to help with organization. It's particularly off base for federal electeds. Therequiembellishere (talk) 21:25, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

If that's the case, wouldn't it make since to at least include the state affiliated party's for People such as Governors and state officials? Zyxrq (talk) 00:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Then again we would need to be selective with those we do this for. Zyxrq (talk) 00:18, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Second Lady of New York

Why do you keep removing the role of Second Lady from Lacey’s article? The spouse of a lieutenant governor is the Second Lady. cookie monster 755 02:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Chicago Meetup for Wikidata Day

Hello! This is User:Luiysia (IRL name is Kelly). My main interests are fashion, music, literature, and history. I am fairly new to Wikipedia editing and I found that there has been very little activity from the Chicago Wikipedia user group since 2020.

I'd like to host a casual meetup in Chicago to celebrate Wikidata Day on Saturday, October 26.

Proposed location is Engine Coffee in the Wicker Park/West Town area, at 11AM.

Here is the official meetup page, where you can add yourself as an attendee.

(If you would prefer not to see messages like this, go ahead and take yourself off this list.)

Hope to see you all there!

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
