Political party strength in Vermont
Hi Nevermore27, Thank you for your recent contributions to Political party strength in Vermont. You appear to be knowledgable in the subject. However, without a reference that supports your edit and the edit of every other contributor to the page, it's impossible to know whether a given contribution is valid, or not. You could be a guiding light to others by providing references for your last two contributions! Sincerely, User:HopsonRoad 15:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
US Attorneys
Hi, Nevermore27! I see you recently editing a whole slew of district court articles with "(added U.S. Attorney to infobox)." Can you justify this? The United States Attorney for a district is not part of its Court. (It's often true that they have an office in the same building as the Court or Courthouse, but that is not the same thing.) My inclination is that these edits are incorrect and should be reverted, but I wanted to discuss it with you first. Thanks! (Or maybe we should talk about it somewhere else?) jhawkinson (talk) 22:57, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
- My thought was that District Courts and U.S. Attorneys are assigned to exactly the same districts; they are coterminous. Any suit filed against the federal government in any district court will be defended by that district's U.S. Attorney or his/her office. Any suit filed by the government against a citizen in a particular district will be prosecuted by that district's U.S. Attorney. While you are correct they are not the same office, they are inextricably linked. Many if not most of the pages for the Courts already list the U.S. Attorney. I just thought it would be better if they were included in the infobox.
- They are indeed coterminous. I'm not sure it's true that any suit against the government will be defended by that district's US Attorney; while an AUSA almost always enters an appearance, it's fairly common for lead counsel to be from other parts of the DOJ. In any event, they are linked, but not inextricably. The links are quite "extricable" -- they are well-defined and breakable. I agree that some pages list the US Attorney. But that doesn't mean the US Attorney is an attribute of the Court, which is what placement in the Infobox implies. So, I guess...I am not convinced. But we should probably seek another opinion? I suppose perhaps on Template talk:Infobox U.S. district court with a referral from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Law? Do you have other suggestions on how to resolve this, or a more convincing argument, or a better choice of venue for the discussion? Thanks. jhawkinson (talk) 07:21, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
- I can't come up with a different argument that could convince you, but I agree it's not going to be decided by you and I alone.
- Well, you may be more optimistic than I. It could well be that no one else is interested, in which case it would be decided by you and I. In the absence of better venue suggestions I suppose I'll write something up tomorrow (US/Eastern). Incidently, Ibrahim v. Department of Homeland et al (3:06-cv-00545 in cand) appears to be an example of a suit against the federal government with no appearance by the local USA (though they were summonsed), but only by some DOJ folks from DC. Not that it really matters. jhawkinson (talk) 07:37, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
- Done, with this discussion mirrored there. jhawkinson (talk) 19:15, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Why do you keep removing the Libertarian candidate from the KY 2014 Election page?
Why do you keep removing the Libertarian candidate from United States Senate election in Kentucky, 2014 ? According to sample ballots from Kentucky Secretary of State sample ballots for 2014 David Patterson is the Libertarian Party candidate and is on the ballot.
Removing candidates, no matter their party, poll numbers, or likelyhood of winning or losing is a disservice to users seeking information about the election and the campaign.
It also appears that there is a strong risk of edit warring and thats not helpful to anyone. Can you explain why you keep removing the Libertarian candidate? Can you cite a Wikipedia policy justifying this edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freiheit2014 (talk • contribs) 03:44, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'm unaware of a specific rule, but there's a guideline of 5%, as evidenced by the Template:US Third Party Election where only performances over 5% are listed. Whether we like it or not, we live in a two-party system, and it's hard for a third party to break through that. No one is suppressing information, all of Patterson's information and links to his website are preserved on the page, but the infobox should reflect the reality that McConnell and Grimes are the only candidates who are going to truly matter to the election's outcome. Nevermore27 (talk) 04:03, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
Now that Patterson is above 5% again, are you going to replace him in the top infographic? Patterson's polling is also greater than the margin between these two candidates, so the idea that he is irrelevant to the outcome is incorrect as well. Bnewmark42 (talk) 02:47, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
- If there's another poll with him above 5%, I'll replace him myself. Only three points of data make a pattern. He's polled at 5% in two now. Nevermore27 (talk) 17:31, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Gamrat
I see you've made some changes to the composition template for the Michigan House. I was going to do something, but was wondering how to do it. The Democratic field also needs to be divided as Harvey Santana was also expelled from his caucus earlier in the year. But, I also wonder if maybe we shouldn't do anymore than simply put an astericks by each of the numbers and add a footnote since while these two are expelled from their caucuses, neither has stopped caucusing with their respective party? This isn't like Olumba in the previous session who seperated himself from the caucus. This banishment seems to only apply to daily caucus meetings. What do you think? --Criticalthinker (talk) 07:52, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
- I didn't know about Santana, and I would do the same thing with him as with Gamrat. The shading part doesn't necessarily refer to voting power, because theoretically on any issue any member of the House could vote against his party for any reason. It refers to the caucuses. So noting their separation from the caucus is important. Nevermore27 (talk) 08:28, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
Democrat(ic)
Thank you for the bulk corrections. What is this Democrat term out of tense? It seems to be a Rush Limbaugh epithet form of usage that has found its way into wikipedia. Trackinfo (talk) 19:57, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yep Trackinfo, check out Democrat Party (epithet) Nevermore27 (talk) 21:44, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Michigan House Composition Change
Hey, I see that you were the last one to update the composition of the Michigan House. I tried updating it, myself, but can't for the life of me figure out the column/row template. Can you add the resignation of Brandon Dillon (http://woodtv.com/2015/08/03/dillon-resigns-from-house-to-head-mi-dems/) as of August 3? It should show 45/1 for Democrats with one vacancy. For the time being, the Republican caucus is still the same, though that could be changing very soon (possible two vacancies). Thanks. Hopefully, after you update it I'll be able to see what you did. --Criticalthinker (talk) 13:36, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Repeating reverted edit
You deleted info in the Icelandic presidential election, 2016 that I had previously reinserted. If you want to repeat an edit that has been reverted by a registered user and with an explanation you should discuss it at the talk page, not just repeat your edit.--Batmacumba (talk) 21:28, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- You and I appear to be the only people making repeated edits to the page, so putting it on the Talk page would not solve anything. The information you wish to include on the page is irrelevant. Yes, the Left-Green Movement is a relatively small party, but it is still a party with representation in the Althingi, so Katrín is relevant no matter what. The fact that she led several polls is irrelevant considering she's not running. And the clause "but has declared she will not run" is triply pointless seeing as she is under the "Declined" heading. I will add a polling table so her past poll leads can be shown, but information that is preempted by subsequent events is not relevant. Nevermore27 (talk) 17:48, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- I have moved you answer over here, as there is no reason to answer it on my page when I first raised the issue over here. It is obviously not irrelevant that she was the leading candidate before she declined - and the debate about wether it is or not it does belong on the talk page as it is related to the article and others might have an opinion. It is generally unhelpful to remove info you personally find "irrelevant" as it is subjective and such info can be useful to others.--Batmacumba (talk) 19:07, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Batmacumba, The way to show that Katrín was leading polls before her exit is to have a Polling section; it does not belong in the section where it shows that she has already left the race. It's not a question of relevant or irrelevant, it's where on the page the information properly belongs. Nevermore27 (talk) 22:13, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Viðreisn
Why did you move Viðreisn to Restoration? (which is just one possible translation chosen by a Wiki editor and not an official English name). It was mentioned on the talk page that the name isn't official and there was a note in the text that it should be replaced whether was an "official English name". I think it should be moved back until they decide on an official English name (there are other possibilities: Awakening, Renaissance, Rising Again, Rebirth). Its generally better to discuss page moves before you make them--Batmacumba (talk) 12:35, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
Edit summaries
I noted your recent edit to Nebraska gubernatorial election, 1990. As best I can tell, your change consisted solely of rearranging the sections, collecting all the material on the Democratic primary into one section and all the material on the Republican primary into another.
I'm inclined to agree with your plan of organization (and wish I'd thought of it first!) However, I have to complain about the fact that you didn't leave an edit summary. Looking at your contribution history, I see that you generally don't. I'd like to urge you to change your practice.
Unfortunately, articles on political subjects tend to draw lots of problem edits—vandalism, POV-pushing, and WP:NOTNEWS violations among them. For us article-watchers, failure to include an edit summary is a red flag: it can be a sign of an editor who's trying to change the article without drawing the attention of other editors, or the mark of a new editor who's not familiar with Wikipolicy and doesn't know about WP:SOAP. A brief explanation of what you're doing can save these article-watchers the time and effort that they'd otherwise have to devote to checking out your edit in detail.
Again, I've got no problem at all with your edit to the 1990 election article; I think it works better than my original organizing scheme. However, a concise edit summary like "Reorganized sections" wouldn't have taken much of your time, and would've saved me the time I spent going through the diff in detail. — Ammodramus (talk) 21:12, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up Ammodramus! I will try to explain myself in the future :) Nevermore27 (talk) 22:01, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
Iceland 2016 parliamentary election polls for august?
Since you've provided many of the poll numbers on the Icelandic_parliamentary_election,_2016 page, I wonder if you know why there seems to be a sudden cut-off in polls for the 2015 parliamentary election in Iceland after the end of July? I haven't found any more recent numbers with a web search either, so I wonder if there is some prohibition against polls X months before the election or something. Anyway, if new numbers become available, I would be happy to update the graph. Amaurea (talk) 18:41, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- Amaurea, the only source for polls I have is electograph, and the last poll I saw through there was July 29, so I'm also unclear why there's a bit of a poll desert right now. As far as I know there's not ban on polls at present, if at all. I'll certainly update as soon as I see them. User:Batmacumba is also pretty on top of the Iceland situation, not sure if you've also contacted them. Nevermore27 (talk) 08:25, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
- There are no ban on polling in Iceland at any time (such bans would be unheard of in all Scandinavian countries and considered an infringement on free speech). Only Gallup and MMR poll the Althing election regularly (both approximately once a month). The University of Iceland, Maskina and Fréttablaðið only do polls when there is something interesting going on (and that isn't the case right now). The last Gallup and MMR polls are from late July, so we will presumably get new ones very soon.--Batmacumba (talk) 20:49, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Dennis Bratland. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Seattle mayoral election, 2017 seemed less than neutral and has been removed.

You are removing the only information about Republican, or right-of center candidates from an article with copious detail about Democrats and other left-of-center candidates. This has a blatantly biased appearance. Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:45, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at United States Senate Committee on Appropriations shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You wrote: "U.S. law states that Representatives elected in special elections assume office the day of the election" as you undid a revision to Conor Lamb on the puzzling dispute regarding now-U.S. Representative Conor Lamb's term commencement date.
Which law?
There are a few sources to support otherwise, such as federal law, Article Six of the United States Constitution, and even the House of Representatives itself (which maintains a guide showing that a Member-Elect becomes a Member once he has taken the oath of office) [1]
To recap, a person has not begun a Congressional term simply because:
(a) He is the presumptive winner of an election;
(b) The election results have been certified in his favor;
(c) He's going to be a Member of Congress;
(d) I support him and want him to win; or
(e) Any combination of the above.
Conor Lamb began his Congressional term on April 12, 2018 in accordance with federal law, the Constitution, and the rules of the House of Representatives. GnarlyLikeWhoa (talk) 17:42, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- @GnarlyLikeWhoa: At one point or another I was lead to believe that winners of special elections started earning their federal pay as of the date of the special election. And to em (and others), that was as good as "assuming office" vs. the actual taking of the oath. Now admittedly looking over the code now I can't find proof of that, so whatever, I'm wrong. But I resent the implication that I want his term to have started earlier just because I like and support Rep. Lamb. That has nothing to do with anything, I like accurate information. I suggest you look at the section just above this for corroboration of that ethos of mine. Cool your attitude, buddy. Nevermore27 (talk) 01:42, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
- Well I’m sorry to have offended you. That was out of line. I saw open political beliefs, and I drew a conclusion needlessly. I saw it the moment I hit “Publish.”
- There have been so many edit reverts on this issue that I’ve grown frustrated. There’s no consensus on this and seeing reversions doesn’t feel right.
- Again, my bad. GnarlyLikeWhoa (talk) 03:30, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Committee changes
You've been changing membership in several Congressional committees for the current (115th) Congress. Are your changes corrections to an incorrect list or is it an update as membership has changed during the Congress? If it's an update, please restore the names and indicate that they are no longer members (such as by adding ", until July 2018").

Please stop edit-warring
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 09:13, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
- Can you please stop edit-warring and try to gain consensus for your change on the article talk page? By my count, you've reverted the same content 4(!) times.[8][9][10][11] The first time someone reverted you, you should have immediately begun a discussion on the article talk page. Can you please self-revert? A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 09:13, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Michigan Supreme Court
The column you added to the MSC page about when the Justices hit age 70 is interesting. However, I am left wondering whether that is the optimal way of presenting the information. The rule in Michigan is that Justices (or any other judge) can serve past age 70, it's that they cannot file to run for re-election after they turn 70. Perhaps you know that, I don't mean to patronize you and tell you what you already know if so. But I am just wondering if the more relevant piece of information is the Justice's "out date" of when they'll be precluded from filing to run again. I applaud the spirit of column, certainly, just looking to possibly improve it. I saw it and got thinking that knowing when they turn 70 will still require me to do a fair amount of math to figure out when they next have to run for re-election after they hit 70. MrArticleOne (talk) 23:58, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
- @MrArticleOne: If you want to change it to "mandatory retirement" instead, that's fine by me, I was just trying to mirror the page to other state supreme courts. Nevermore27 (talk) 05:54, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
- I haven't surveyed other state supreme courts' pages, but I think many other states have as the mandatory retirement date the Justice's actual birthday (whenever they hit whatever the magic age is). Michigan is somewhat unusual (as I understand it) in letting a Justice serve past the magic age, and just preventing them from filing for re-election whenever their term expires after the magic age. MrArticleOne (talk) 02:10, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
- @MrArticleOne: Every state is different for sure, I wasn't trying to equate reaching age 70 with automatic retirement, but I thought having it in the table was at least a helpful benchmark. Nevermore27 (talk) 02:21, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
- I agree, it is a helpful benchmark, although I think more helpful yet is just figuring when they are precluded from running for re-election again. I may change it to "mandatory retirement" per your suggestion above, I just need to take a bit of time to do the figuring. MrArticleOne (talk) 02:45, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, but both IMDb and "famousbirthdays" are specifically noted as unreliable sources - see Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Deb (talk) 22:28, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- Well, it's not enough for it to just state the birthdate, because that could just be copied from anywhere or made up. IMDb gets its information from individuals, just as Wikipedia does.

- Do you have any objection to deleting these subpages? Since you are the sole contributor to these pages, anything you might have copied from these pages to an article would already be attributed to you.
- (B) Subpages that duplicate article content, but for which you are not the sole contributor (of non-technical edits) – more problematic, may need to be deleted
-
- User:Nevermore27/116 - last edited in February 2019; User:Arjavrawal2 is also a contributor; duplicates United States House Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands and previously contained information related to the 116th United States Congress
- Do you know if any of the content in previous versions was copied into some other article? If no, then it can be deleted, too.
- (C) Subpages that do not duplicate article content, and for which you are the sole contributor (of non-technical edits)
-
- User:Nevermore27/seniority - last edited in January 2019; 2018 New Hampshire House of Representatives election is a red link, but prior versions of the subpage had different content (see diff) that appears to have been copied from 2018 Vermont House of Representatives election
- Is the current content (related to the NH election) copied from an article? If no, what is the earliest version that was not copied from an article? I can leave the current version(s) and just delete the older revisions that were copied from elsewhere.

- @Black Falcon: Thanks for your message, I have no objection to deleting these draftspace articles with only two exceptions, the User:Nevermore27/2013 and User:Nevermore27/seniority, which I do intend to keep working on. The 2013 in particular is intended to restructure the 2013 New York City Council election page to look more like the 2017 one, which I contributed to and feel is superior. The others you mention I'm finished with and can be deleted. Thank you again. Nevermore27 (talk) 02:37, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Edgmon
Now that I look at it--I do see the update, but, as can be evidenced from this, as of a few days ago, the listing did show him as a Democrat. Do you think this is an extended oversight, or actual evidence of switches? Iseult Δx parlez moi 22:54, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Iseult: I see the issue now. The tweeter has linked to Edgmon's member profile for the 30th legislature (when Edgmon was still formally a Democrat) as opposed to the 32nd legislature, where we are now. By all accounts Edgmon's switch was likely just for political expediency and he's still a Democrat at heart, but for Wikipedia's purposes his formal identification is what matters. Here is his member profile for the 32nd legislature [16] Nevermore27 (talk) 23:22, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Gubernatorial lines of succession in the United States
Hi @Nevermore27! Firstly, I just wanted to say fantastic work on Gubernatorial lines of succession in the United States. It's a fascinating and well-made article.
I also wanted to get your thoughts on adding the circumstances in which a person next in line to a governorship would succeed to become governor or acting governor in the form of using bullet points. I realise that this could be complicated, but I do think that it would add to the article. For example, for Alabama, the text could read (this is a first draft, it should include bullet points rather than asterisks and also spaces before each new sentence):
The person next in line will become governor if the governor and the people above them in the line of succession have:[1] * been removed from office * died * resigned The person next in line will gain the governor's power and authority if the governor and the people above them in the line of succession are:[2] * impeached (until they are acquitted) * absent from the state for more than twenty days (until they return) * unsound in mind (until they are restored to their mind) * otherwise disabled (until they are relieved from the other disability) The person next in line will exercise the duties of governor if the governor-elect (and, if applicable, lieutenant governor-elect):[3] * fails or refuse from any cause to qualify (until they qualify)
Let me know what you think! I was going to post this on the article's talk page, but after looking at the edit history I realised that the person who I really wanted to hear from was yourself. Thanks in advance. FollowTheTortoise (talk) 21:16, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

FollowTheTortoise (talk) 21:16, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- @FollowTheTortoise: Thank you very much for the compliment! My gut reaction would be that the potential reasons for a gubernatorial vacancy aren't incredibly relevant to the page, but even thinking about it now I'm wavering a little. I am a little wary about how complicated it could be to add these for every state, as you mention. Some states are pretty vague about their lines of succession, unlike Alabama's which is apparently pretty robust, so it could make the page lopsided. But if you have the dedication to look into it, I'll back your play! Thanks again for the kudos :) Nevermore27 (talk) 04:07, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back to me! I think what I'll do is do is practice some more governorships and see how complicated and messy it gets. If it gets too complicated and/or messy, then it won't be worth messing up the article as it is. However, if I can make it work, then I'll let you know!

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to List of Native American politicians, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

- @Yuchitown: Sorry for not leaving a message in the edit summary, I removed it because it's the exact same information as on List of Native Americans in the United States Congress but in a poorer quality table. Much like the List of LGBT politicians in the United States and List of LGBT members of the United States Congress, I felt like it was better to link to the main page rather than having duplicate information.

Triple Crown
Hey! No problem. Yeah, I had a feeling the International factor was a throw-off. And I am all for variants being included. (Including honorary awards.) But imo, maybe they should be subsections underneath the primary three awards, you know? Main editors might dismiss that as "obvious". I tried to group it actually, but the bullet point vs. pound sign (for numbered bullet points) was just a mess. In any event, I myself was actually surprised that Jackson was actually younger than Plummer when she won the Tony. I thought she was like 90 tbh. RIP, what a treasure both were though! --Cinemaniac86TalkStalk 23:12, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

ABA Ratings and discussion
Unfortunately this is one of the downsides of Wikipedia. I would like to understand why you are taking this personally and in such a way that 'has soured you'. All that has occurred here is the usual practices of Wikipedia. I note you did propose an original discussion, but until you made the changes the talk page was not looked at. Then a discussion ensued, which relied on the content which was added and the policies and guidelines of Wikipeida. The discussions made no contributor comments and assumed good faith at all times.
This is how Wikipedia is supposed to work. Be bold, if you are reverted or challenged, discuss. That is how Wikipedia works.
None of this is supposed to patronising, i am just confused that a veteran editor such as yourself has stated you are 'soured'.
Why are you taking this so personally? PicturePerfect666 (talk) 17:48, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol
Hello Nevermore27!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

United States House Judiciary Subcommittee on Responsiveness and Accountability to Oversight moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to United States House Judiciary Subcommittee on Responsiveness and Accountability to Oversight. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:54, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- @MPGuy2824: it's no more or less notable than any other congressional subcommittee page. Any reference is going to be from the House committee's website so adding sources just for the purpose of publishing the draft is by nature recursive. If you don't think this page is notable enough, you almost have to believe the same for all of them. Nevermore27 (talk) 04:08, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- If there are reliable, independent sources available that talk about the subcommittee in-depth, then they would enhance the eventual article and not just be "for the purpose of publishing the draft". Please do add them to the draft when you find such sources. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:16, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- @MPGuy2824: There aren't any, because independent sources don't talk about congressional subcommittees. That doesn't make them not notable or verifiable. Nevermore27 (talk) 04:22, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Revert on NPVIC page
Hi, can I ask why you (mostly) reverted my edit on National Popular Vote Interstate Compact? (You forgot to add in the note about enactment being required in performing the revert.) The bill was enacted by the House 73-72 just today (April 2nd) according to this Maine bill tracker, but you reverted my edits without explanation. Why the revert?

- @Sniffnoy i didn't revert your edit, I just added the first passing vote, similarly to how it's noted the last time Maine considered the bill. Apologies for not explaining what I did. Nevermore27 (talk) 02:30, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, my mistake. Guess I didn't read closely enough. Sorry about that! Sniffnoy (talk) 03:20, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Sniffnoy no worries, it annoys me how Maine and Massachusetts have separate votes for passage and enactment Nevermore27 (talk) 03:36, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
