I have a couple issues with your recent edits to the Patrick N. Millsaps article, which I reverted. I'll try to explain a few of the obvious ones so that you know to avoid them in the future.
- Section titles generally only have the first word capitalized, except for proper nouns.
- We generally only go down to level-three section levels, and keep the section titles short. This makes the article (and the table of contents) easier to read. If you find yourself breaking that rule, you may want to reconsider how you're sectioning the content you have and how else you can group it.
- Wikipedia is not a place for your someone's resume. We don't cover everything a subject does, nor should we.
- When you add sources to an article, use citation templates to properly format them.
Don't get me wrong - I appreciate you trying to improve his article. However, you have to match the guidelines set forth by the community. Thank you, Disavian (talk) 01:57, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 31
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Patrick N. Millsaps, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Republican Party (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:53, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Original Gingrich $2.50 Gas Concept.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Original Gingrich $2.50 Gas Concept.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:13, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
