April 2022

Hello, I'm Ji11720. I noticed that you recently removed content from List of United States Senators without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Ji11720 (talk) 02:48, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn’t explain, but I basically wanted there to be a page with every U.S. senator, which there currently isn’t. PoliticallyPassionateGamer (talk) 21:16, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Many times I do use a summary, but I didn’t here and for that I apologize. PoliticallyPassionateGamer (talk) 21:16, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1914 United States House of Representatives elections, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William W. Wilson. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:11, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello PoliticallyPassionateGamer! Your additions to United States Academic Decathlon topics have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:07, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

Hello, PoliticallyPassionateGamer! I am very glad to see that you added Template:User Confederate removal to your userpage. Having that in mind, I must ask you to consider endorsing a closely related essay, WP:NOCONFED, in which creation I participated. Of course, this is just a suggestion, nothing more. Cheers! — Sundostund mppria ^{(talk / contribs)} 12:37, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you know some other users who might be interested in this essay, please inform them about it! — Sundostund mppria ^{(talk / contribs)} 21:48, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sundostund,

While I am a relatively unknown user on Wikipedia whose interests are confined to a very niche space within American politics, I will try to find any users who may support this. So while I can't say I can help you right now, I'll do what I can. :) PoliticallyPassionateGamer (talk) 22:55, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ShtiktatorTal!=

You have to come to the edit-a-thon on Saturday. You are ShtiktatorTal! Hope to see you. Julie JSFarman (talk) 01:20, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is indeed the case! I shall leave a confirmation message on your talk page if I can confirm that I will be available, and I hope to be there to see you as well! ShticktatorTal (talk) 02:23, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case you can make it!JSFarman (talk) 03:53, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course! I just left a message on your talk page. ShticktatorTal (talk) 04:48, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Parking for the event on Saturday

The library's parking lot is adjacent to the library; if you enter from San Vicente, it's the lot on the right. Validation is available for three hours, but please note: the lot fills up quickly. (There's another lot on the opposite side of the driveway. Parking is validated for an hour at the booth on the ground floor of the garage or near the small dog area on the opposite side of West Hollywood Park.)

Parking in West Hollywood is treacherous! If you park on the street make sure to read the signs. Most everywhere is permit parking, and the wonderful park is in part financed by parking tickets. So. Alternative transit methods are a great idea.

We look forward to seeing you! Blervis and JSFarman (talk) 03:46, 14 February 2024

Holy cow

The photo add is amazing. Are you at WeHo right now? jengod (talk) 23:13, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed this! I've been here for most of this meeting, I was just been very focused on this long edit during all this time. Thank you so much! ShticktatorTal (talk) 23:21, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
