Talk:1972 United States presidential election in Tennessee

Sources

@Jon698 Please refrain from accusing me about lying about a source. If you click on the source, on the bottom left and right, it shows the years before and after. You can click on them to show the previous or next result of the election, and you can see county results. The next source I used showes county flips in 2008.

You can also use the "Choose Year" tab GatewayPolitics (talk) 02:56, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

That is not how sourcing works. All of the information must be present in the source provided. Jon698 (talk) 02:58, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

It is provided? What do you mean GatewayPolitics (talk) 02:59, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

No it is not. If you have to go to a different page then that is by definition not on the same page. Jon698 (talk) 03:00, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

User:Binksternet and I had this same issue with GigachadGigachad here. One page from Dave Leip's Atlas is not proper sourcing for this stuff. Jon698 (talk) 03:02, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

I don't know why sources would be even needed for that type sentence, Wikipedia itself provides evidence for the statement, but if you disagree we can leave it alone since it's not a big deal. I did not appreciate the somewhat hostile comment, I do apologize for the dispute, though. I will leave it be GatewayPolitics (talk) 03:10, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

@GatewayPolitics: I apologize for my rather rash statement. Jon698 (talk) 03:12, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

@Jon698 would this be a okay source for the statement "this is the best performance for any Republican presidential candidate in the state since 1868" I can not find another one to use besides the Leip's Atlas GatewayPolitics (talk) 06:51, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

• @GatewayPolitics: OurCampaigns is user-generated, but I know of a source that would be acceptable. I will look for it in the morning. BTW for the county information this source would be good https://www.americamagazine.org/content/unconventional-wisdom/how-red-and-blue-map-evolved-over-past-century but make sure to change "As of 2024" to "As of 2016".

  Alright sounds good, thanks GatewayPolitics (talk) 07:01, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

  @Jon698 why did you change your mind on that source? This is the only page for the 1972 election that you are removing the county flips and not the other states that are not sourced as well. GatewayPolitics (talk) 00:05, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

I did not properly check the source you used. It is a user generated one. Jon698 (talk) 00:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
