Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to 2000 United States presidential election, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 00:15, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to 2022 United States Senate election in Vermont. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Cassiopeia^(talk) 03:31, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm RandomCanadian. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, 2021 German federal election, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 03:01, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do not add unofficial results. We're an encyclopedia, there's no deadline. The official page from the Bundeswahlleiter does not include this information as of this time; see [1]. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 03:01, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at 2021 German federal election, you may be blocked from editing. What wasn't clear about my previous comment? RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 03:07, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Youth in Policy

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Youth in Policy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello, I'm Twotwofourtysix. I noticed that you recently removed content from 2022 United States Senate election in Alaska without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. —twotwofourtysix^{(My talk page and contributions)} 22:58, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I very much intended to make this change, and am going to re-edit the page to remove Laura Ingram from the potential candidates list. My reasoning is that the source used to cite Ingram as a potential canidate is one comment made over three years ago during the Kavanaugh confirmation process, in particular, Ingram was criticizing the way that senator Murkowski was conducting herself during that process. However since there is no sources listed since then, I think that this removes her from the list of credible potential candidates who have yet to formally declare. Add these facts onto the fact that Ingram was born in Connecticut and does not (and has never to my knowladge) lived in any part of Alaska. If I'm wrong and Laura Ingram has made further comments about an offical run for senate in Alaksa, then that changed things, but I have yet to see that evidence on the wikipedia page for the race.
