[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Campaign song has been reverted.
Your edit here to Campaign song was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://youtube.com/hWcYHOwo0t8, https://youtube.com/hWcYHOwo0t8, https://youtube.com/vq01rSyi-0k, https://youtube.com/TeCmtKxYfzA, https://youtube.com/Br9lce1VRKk, https://youtube.com/I4IFO3Uo2cU, https://youtube.com/MtCeBws4jpA, https://youtube.com/jaXxLbjxdZI, https://youtube.com/XUqn3o9_hhk, https://youtube.com/4HBhR5D9L04, https://youtube.com/EhYIky4XZx0, https://youtube.com/912-tlzscio, https://youtube.com/uEK9oK02D1M, https://youtube.com/zlGmKF5hmZ4, https://youtube.com/mUrI3gz_N3c, https://youtube.com/912-tlzscio, https://youtube.com/zlGmKF5hmZ4, https://youtube.com/qmKgITJejfg, https://youtube.com/XOZj1Xyx354) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

[edit]
Hello, I'm UncleBubba. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Watergate scandal, 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Changing the date is not a good idea. The accompanying article discusses 1971 as the date The Plumbers were formed, for example, and cited sources on this page corroborate the 1971 start date. — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 23:04, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Gavin Newsom, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mathglot (talk) 21:54, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
The article 2020 Riverside, California mayoral election has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Nothing about this particular election appears to be notable.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of 2020 Riverside, California mayoral election for deletion
[edit]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2020 Riverside, California mayoral election until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Gavin Newsom, 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. Love of Corey (talk) 05:20, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Republican & Democratic vice presidential selection pages
[edit]I've been trying to find this discussion that supposedly ended in a consensus to delete lead images & infoboxes from the Republican & Democratic vice presidential candidate selection pages. But, I couldn't find any. Therefore, I've restored the images. GoodDay (talk) 04:07, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

File source problem with File:1988 DNC Photo for Dukakis.png
[edit]
Thank you for uploading File:1988 DNC Photo for Dukakis.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 06:38, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
2024 Primary Candidates
[edit]I don’t understand why Vivek Ramaswamy isn’t considered a major candidate when he meets the stated threshold of receiving substantial media coverage. He announced on Tucker Carlson Tonight which is the highest rated cable news show in the country, with his announcement being covered by literally every single major media outlet including CNN, WaPo, NYT, WSJ, Bloomberg, Axios, and a Fox News article declaring him the third major candidate in the GOP primary. I’m not a supporter of Vivek nor am I even close to being a Republican but as a political junkie it’s obvious that Vivek is a major candidate and not labeling him as such until he’s included in five national polls is just a silly moving of the goalpost. It’s especially silly when you realize you’re setting a higher bar for legitimacy than the Republican Party who nominated someone whose only “experience” for the presidency was in the private sector and on the NBC Tuesday night primetime block. I hope you and the Barons of Wikipedia reconsider just for the sake of my OCD. 🙏 2601:18D:C180:7D20:AD37:7D7A:12FD:3760 (talk) 06:17, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Marianne Williamson 2024 presidential campaign moved to draftspace
[edit] An article you recently created, Marianne Williamson 2024 presidential campaign, is not suitable as written to remain published. An article needs more information and citations from reliable, independent sources to remain in the mainspace. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline, has suitable content and thus is ready for mainspace, click the Submit the draft for review! button atop the article.

re Delaware, Wolf succeeding Castle
[edit]Do you have a source for this? The linked source specifically says, Castle resigned at midnight yesterday (so, Jan 3), and notes at the end that the state was "without a governor" for 14 hours, not 4 days. I don't want to just revert out of hand but we need a source; it's entirely possible the one I got is wrong. Thanks. --Golbez (talk) 03:31, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, I have found a source from Wolf's Wikipedia page that backs up the claim that Castle resigned on December 31st 1992
- Dale Wolf, Delaware's 3-week governor, dies at 96 (delawareonline.com) "He assumed the governorship in 1992 when Castle stepped down after being elected to Congress" HistorianL (talk) 03:52, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- That's not a source for this, it doesn't say Castle resigned on December 31, 1992. Furthermore, it contradicts the edit you made, since you (correctly) pointed out that Wolf wasn't sworn in in 1992. --Golbez (talk) 04:48, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Captions
[edit]Please stop capitalizing "Official portrait", and don't add {{circa}} to known specific dates. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:00, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, by this logic, does that mean it was correct to add {{circa}} to Henry A. Wallace since the photo is presumed to be taken during his presidency, but there is no official date for the photograph, hence it being released {{circa}} the 1940s. (Not trying to be rude by any means; just trying to clarify what you mean by this.) ~ HistorianL (talk) 02:10, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- That caption already included a {{circa}} before your edits identifying that the image was believed to date to sometime in his vice presidency. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:13, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
Regarding the 2023 Kentucky gubernatorial elections.
[edit]Hello, I came here to inform you that you were incorrect. I know it was a year ago since it happened but here is the thing, Kentucky does not use EST, it uses CST as it's time zone.

I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to 2008 Republican Party vice presidential candidate selection have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. OIM20 (talk) 20:20, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- As I explained in the last edit I made to the article - I am not a mind reader. If you're going to remove a ref from the article - which is what was done, and it destabilized the ref code that existed - then you need to say why, please. Many will assume, as I did, that simply removing a reference is vandalism. So please make a note when you make your edit of why you're making a change.

Closure on Talk:Hubert Humphrey
[edit]When you closed the discussion, you forgot to add Template:Discussion bottom to the bottom of the thread, which caused the closure box to flow into the threads that followed (see this revision). Also, based on the invisible comment left behind, I presume you substituted the Template:Discussion top instead of transcluding it. That was unnecessary, transclusion would've worked fine here.
I should finally note that you closing the discussion yourself violated WP:NACINV, since you participated in the discussion and the circumstances didn't seem uncontentious. However, WP:NOCON would've defaulted to the status quo anyway, so I'm not going to challenge your closure. Please keep this in mind for the future though. Liu1126 (talk) 17:33, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
