Idaho Prop 2 Results?

Hi I noticed you put up the image for Idaho's Prop 2 results by county in 2018 (to expand medicaid). I was wondering where I could find the county level results for that vote. Thanks! --CartoonDiablo (talk) 00:32, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Than you for your helpful reversion notes

I want to thank you for your helpful reversion notes. Another editor reverts my moves to possibly living people with statements like "utter blithing incompetence" in some cases leaving it unclear exactly how he knows the person in question still fits in the living people category when the most recent working link dates to 27 or 28 years ago, the only link added in the last 5 years was a primary source one on the subjects birth, and the article itself unhelpfully does not believe in using dates for jobs. The article is on Robert Basmann if you want to have a go at it. John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:58, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stop being an uncivil lout, JPL. If you want to complain about me, I have a talk page that somehow appears to have escaped your attention. Instead, not only are you posting to uninvolved editors' talk pages. trying to drag them in, but you're dishonestly trying to shame me by presenting faked quotes from my edit summaries with misspellings I hadn't made on each talk page you posted to. I can spell "blithering". Here, it looks like you can't. That's at best ironic, or it would be if it didn't appear deliberate. Bluntly, you don't understand the instructions for the category. It doesn't say "sourcing". It says "documentation". Any documentation that indicates the subject has been alive within the last decade prevents application. It doesn't have to be in the article, or even be related to something notable enough to be in the article. A photo of them at their 75th high school reunion in their local paper would be good enough. It would be time- and effort-wasting to require that editors prove that elderly article subjects have done something noteworthy at an advanced age to prevent them from being classified as only possibly alive. It's also weird and creepy. In the case of Robert Basmann, which you whine about here, if you'd simply clicked on the "search" box in the university page already linked in the article, you'd have immediately arrived at a page indicating the subject is currently alive. You didn't bother to check. You also didn't bother to do a simple Google search. If you had, you would have found links to two pages forestalling application of the "possibly living" category. Face the truth, JPL, your indolent, slipshod editing and searching practices are corrosively damaging to this encyclopedia. You've already been responsible for one of Wikipedia's worst public embarrassments. Your attitude seems to be that you're such a special, privileged editor that those who disagree with you must prove their points and explain them to your satisfaction before altering your work. That's not the case.

DC Statehood Greens

Hey, I've noticed you've been doing a lot of work with historic DC elections. I'm not entirely sure who to talk to about this but I just realized that the DC Statehood Green Party has only existed since 1999 so we might have to overhaul all DC elections pages to create links to both new parties. Since it appears the Greens were absorbed into the Statehood Party I think we would keep that party's page and create another one for the Greens that existed for a few years. Baconheimian (talk) 01:48, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Baconheimian: Damn. Looks like you're right. But luckily there aren't that many to fix. Also looks like pretty much all the candidates were Statehood and not Green? OurCampaigns doesn't really distinguish there. 04:56, 26 January 2021 (UTC) Kingofthedead (talk) 04:56, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to start going back and changing anything I can see. From what I can tell the only election the DC Greens were actually in was the 1998 Shadow Representative so it looks like anything pre-1999 should become Statehood. It turns out there's actually a Statehood Party color template but it has rarely been used.Baconheimian (talk) 14:07, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delmarva Peninsula

First of all, I congratulate you on your great work editing articles on regions such as MN's Iron Range, MD's Eastern Shore and the Delmarva Peninsula and providing political and electoral information thereon. That was an area of knowledge that for too long had been ignored by editors.

But I wanted to point out that the article on the Delmarva Peninsula sets its boundaries as commencing south of Wilmington, DE, and that the city is not included within the Peninsula. This is clear from the list of cities in the article, which sets forth Dover and Salisbury as the two largest by population in the Delmarva Peninsula. For this reason, the presidential-election results for the Delmarva Peninsula should not include those of Wilmington.

From the number of votes cast and the Democratic margins in the table that you added to the article, you clearly included all of New Castle County, including Wilmington, in the electoral results. Is the issue that the southern portion of New Castle County lies within the Delmarva Peninsula but the city of Wilmington doesn't? That could be a problem in determining the presidential-election vote for the Delmarva Peninsula, since Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections does not provide New Castle County data by precinct or even by town. Have you found election data for different parts of New Castle County?

I look forward to hearing from you on this, and I am confident that we'll be able to provide electoral information that is consistent with the rest of the article (even if it requires an explanation regarding the incomplete nature of the voting results). AuH2ORepublican (talk) 22:46, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AuH2ORepublican: Hmm. Might add a disclaimer that it's the state of Delaware combined with the rest of the peninsula. Another option would be to display the results both with and without New Castle county. Precinct data is probably available somewhere but it's too time-consuming for me to really pursue. Just from a quick Google search for "Delmarva Peninsula" it looks like New Castle is included in the majority of the proposals. Official sources cite that definition too - the Bureau of Labor Statistics ([1]) for example. Honestly I'd just go with leaving in New Castle and adding a disclaimer. Kingofthedead (talk) 00:00, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the article's definition of the Delmarva Peninsula excludes Wilmington, and with how difficult it would be to exclude Wilmington but not the parts of New Castle County to its south, I think that having two tables (with and without New Castle County) would be best. But, yes, a footnote describing what is included would be helpful. AuH2ORepublican (talk) 00:08, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AuH2ORepublican: Sounds good. Will get that done in a day or two. Kingofthedead (talk) 07:11, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. AuH2ORepublican (talk) 12:29, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Superman7515: See this convo. Kingofthedead (talk) 20:38, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AuH2ORepublican: and @Kingofthedead:, respectfully, I wholeheartedly disagree. The information is not that difficult to find, and just because someone is not interested in doing the work to make it correct, does not mean incorrect information should be added. With the article using the C&D Canal as the "border", as evidenced by neither Newark, New Castle, or Elkton being included in the largest municipalities, the totals for New Castle County should include District 8, District 9, and District 11 because those three districts entirely encompass the portion of New Castle County below the canal and no district overlaps. This changes the table dramatically. There were 296,268 votes cast for Joe Biden in New Castle County, but only 23,127 from those three districts below the canal. There were 200,603 ballots cast for Donald Trump in New Castle County, but only 20,131 from those three districts below the canal. While Joe Biden still "wins" two of those three districts, it has a dramatic affect on the table. Subtracting the 273,141 ballots for Joe Biden that were not cast on the Delmarva part of New Castle County and subtracting the 180,472 similarly cast ballots for Donald Trump shifts the data table from a 60,000 vote win for Joe Biden to a 40,000 vote win for Donald Trump. A roughly 100,000 ballot difference when the total ballots cast is less than 800,000 is unconsciounably inaccurate for a Wikipedia article.Superman7515 (talk) 18:02, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Superman7515:, that is terrific research on the election data from the portion of New Castle County within the Delmarva Peninsula. Is such information publicly available for prior presidential elections as well? (Please remember that precinct boundaries change with every decennial U.S. Census.) And is such precinct-level information also available for Cecil County, MD?

Given that Wilmington casts such a high proportion of votes in New Castle County, and the relatively few of the county's votes cast within the boundaries of the Delmarva Peninsula are far less Democrat-leaning than the Wilmington vote, I think that removing the New Castle County vote from the electoral information on the table would yield a fair approximation of how Delmarva has voted through the years. The same applies to Cecil County as well, given tha only the southeastern portion of the County (which has a relatively small percentage of the county's population and voters) lies within Delmarva. For the years for which New Castle County and Cecil County precinct information is available, a more precise Delmarva vote can be included on a separate table.

What do you guys think? AuH2ORepublican (talk) 19:51, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AuH2ORepublican: Honestly I'm just thinking leaving it out is the best course of action here. Kingofthedead (talk) 00:08, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Portland Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon: March 12, 2022

You are invited! An Art+Feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on March 12, 2022. Learn more here!

Wikipedia is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Wikipedia and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Wikipedia editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started!

Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL.

This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of Monégasque Americans

The article Monégasque Americans has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not enough Monegasque-Americans, or literature about them, to justify a page.

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.

Block review

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Kingofthedead (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 64.124.45.191. I submitted a formal unblock request but I didn't realize I could just do this instead. Kingofthedead (talk) 01:59, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This is a "formal unblock request" so I'm not sure what you are referencing(maybe WP:UTRS?). That IP is indeed a webhost. 331dot (talk) 09:09, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@331dot: I'm not sure what to do then. It's definitely the fault of my apartment complex where I get the wifi from. Kingofthedead (talk) 02:02, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla: Again I'm not really sure what to do. I saw you denied my appeal request because my "IP address is a confirmed proxy" but I have no control over my IP address. That's determined by my wifi provider and apartment complex and I don't use any sort of a VPN. I'd just like to be able to edit Wikipedia again.

@Yamla: Again I've tried all these options with no luck. Kingofthedead (talk) 05:09, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you have requested WP:IPBE as directed and if that request was declined, there is nothing more that can be done for you. --Yamla (talk) 10:12, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla: Is there any particular reason why this exists? I'm pretty confused as to what a colocation server even is and how it differs based on the wifi network. My apartment complex switched over to new Wifi and immediately I stopped being able to edit Wikipedia. I'm not sure why simply switching to a new WiFi network would have such a drastic change. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this sort of stuff so I'm not sure first of all, as you were the declining administrator, why specifically you declined my request for an exemption besides it being a "confirmed proxy"; this is not under my control whatsoever as I just use the WiFi connection my apartment complex provides. I'd just like a little more clarity if that's not too much to ask. Kingofthedead (talk) 06:50, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Proxies such as the one you are using are typically used by highly abusive editors for spam and death threats and other such nonsense. Please understand, I'm not at all implying you would use it for that. --Yamla (talk) 09:52, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2022 Oregon Commissioner of Labor election

Can you please identify the "past precedent" in "other articles" that you referenced in your edit summary? Your edit causes the article to link to the disambiguation page Nonpartisan. That article has exactly two incoming links, one of which is from this article [2], so it doesn't look like a lot of precedent to me. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 01:58, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@R'n'B: see 2020 Portland, Oregon, mayoral election, 2011 Wisconsin Supreme Court election, etc. I'm just going for consistency and at least having a color bar in the infobox makes more sense than leaving it blank. Look at the incoming links for Nonpartisan politician (which redirects to Independent politician) instead. Kingofthedead (talk) 21:55, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable non-free use File:Tupac Amaru Shakur2.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Tupac Amaru Shakur2.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
