Information about my edits

Hi everyone. First off I just want to clarify I have no political or partisan motivation whatsoever, since I never have, probably never will vote on any elections outside my home country, which is thousands of kilometres away from Spokane, Washington.

That being said, I have to apologise if I have done anything not in accordance with Wiki etiquette, but I did it on good faith.

I've got to this article by accident, and as often happens, I found information to be more self-promotional than encyclopedic. Only this once I decided I should help keeping it clean.

The edit I reversed from DSutman (talk · contribs) contained what I perceived to be a blatant conflict of interest. The outright deletion of well-sourced references, as well as the addition of what appears to original research - all this concurred to my decision of reverting the edit.

I've also took the time to find references about the conclusion of allegations against Padden, as well as the confirmation of his candidacy. I also tidied up a few references hoping to make the article more organised.

I reiterate I have made changes on good faith. If more experienced authors find any fault please let me know, and I'll be more than willing to learn with your suggestions. Ebacci EN (talk) 23:14, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
