User talk:CylonCAG

Welcome to the Wikipedia!

Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, CylonCAG! Thanks for fixing the Star Trek Wikilink over on the Melvin Belli article. Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:

• Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
• When you have time, you can peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
• Always keep the notion of NPOV in mind, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
• If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
• Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, Wikiquette, and you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~.

Best of luck, CylonCAG, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 20:54, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for adding the rest of the 2000 US Senate Results to the 2006 page. I have been wanting to finish it, but I haven't had time. Thanks again. Byrdin2006 18:19, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

United States House elections, 1998, et al.

Please revert all the pages like United States House elections, 1998. The Previous/Successor stuff is unnecessary because there's a NavBox with all the elections.—Markles 19:03, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

• Thank you!!—Markles 21:13, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Picture errors

For your future reference, if you spot an error with one of my pictures, either contact me via my talk page or the picture's talk page on Commons. That way, it would show up in my watchlist. Thanks! —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 19:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

District results

Where are you getting the results by district for the 2010 US House of Representatives election page? Shouldn't we be using 2008, not 2004? BrianY (talk) 00:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Swing Districts

Hey. Can you please help me finish my article Swing Districts. Thanks.--Mapple001 (talk) 22:38, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Hmm.. a candidate's website is ok to link (I think) to for a source saying that someone is running. Sometimes that's how the media picks it up. Especially for House races which aren't covered this early by the major news sources, sometimes the candidate's website is the best place to link to. I would say, basically, that this early on, any source counts. BrianY (talk) 14:19, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

So if the Boise mayor runs against Simpson we shouldn't include him? The mayor is Democratic (I believe) and would be a potentially strong candidate. I'm fine with not including people who aren't notable democrats or republican. BrianY (talk) 22:47, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good. do you think it is ok to include lesser known candidates in the articles about particular states (Idaho House elections, 2010) for example? BrianY (talk) 22:58, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

What were the 2008 numbers? (I'm busy so I can't look right now) If the incumbent won by a large margin delete it, but create the Nebraska house elections, 2010 page and list it there. BrianY (talk) 23:19, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

2010 US House talk

See this section: on the us house 2010 talk page. Let me know what you think. BrianY (talk) 02:22, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Here is a source for TX-14: http://libertymaven.com/2009/05/11/ron-pauls-primary-opponent-is-campaigning-for-ron-paul/5691/ The title is misleading. However, I am not sure we should include it because Paul seems to win easily every time I think, so it would be a non-notable race. Also, do we move to Israel to the Retiring section now that he is making an official statement/exploratory statement or whatever? BrianY (talk) 23:39, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey

I know we had been editing the House elections page together back in May & June. I seemed to have been doing the bulk of edits in June, July, and the first part of August. However, I will be on vacation until September 9, and will only be able to edit on August 24, 25, and 26. If you are available (judging by your edits, you might not be), and you want to, it might help to continue to update the house, governor, and senate pages so they don't get so far out of date. (Traditionally August is a time for retirements, candidate announcements etc) If you are uninterested or can't do it, I'll do a week's worth on August 24, and the on September 10. Thanks and hope you are enjoying your summer. BrianY (talk) 15:03, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. If you don't already know this, it might be useful to check dcpoliticalreport.com now and again. I think you already know about swingstateproject. BrianY (talk) 15:30, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Again, just letting you know. My second trip starts tomorrow and goes until September 9. If you have time/want to, it would be good to keep the page up to date. BrianY (talk) 23:53, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

KS-03 and CA-18

Hmm. I just looked at the House page and saw those districts had been added again. Any particular reason? If I remember correctly, you removed them a couple weeks ago. I don't think they have become competitive recently. BrianY (talk) 17:02, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

2010 elections

Hey. I put the competitive election summeries in a seperate article to make it easier for casual readers, and not to mention that the races by state section had a lot of material. The only thing I did was copy and paste. But I also have other material on the page that deals with the swing districts of the past two election cycles. So, I hope to eventually merge the two sections together, having the race rating, summery (which you made), and the results of the past two election cycles. Doing this, we will give readers a full analysis of the 2010 elections.--Jerzeykydd (talk) 02:30, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Lincoln Memorial section

We are currently attempting to bring the Abraham Lincoln article to FA status and are trying to establish consensus regarding images. Your consensus and opinion is needed on the Abraham Lincoln talk page. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 21:37, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject US Presidents

It was recently suggested that WikiProject US Presidents might be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. I have started a discussion on the projects talk page soliciting the opinions of the members of the project if this project would be interested in being supported by WikiProject United States. Please feel free to comment on your opinions about this suggestion. --Kumioko (talk) 02:32, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
