Ambassador updates

Hi, @Washingtonediter: Thank you for your efforts in helping us update various U.S. government-related pages in the wake of the new administration. I noticed that you've been making some edits to various Ambassador pages, and that you've made a few erroneous changes, such as to Sung Kim who is still the U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines, as well as to Marie L. Yovanovitch, who is still the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine.
In short, not all ambassadors resigned - only about a third of them did, as they were outsiders politically appointed by Barack Obama. Career Foreign Service Officers serving as ambassadors do not have to end their term on Inauguration Day. The State Department itself has confirmed this. So please make sure not to make changes across the board assuming that all of our ambassadorships have been vacated, because in actuality a majority of them have not. Thanks much!

Infobox

Howdy. They way I understood it, we list the acting secretaries in those infoboxes & navboxes, if they've served for over a week. GoodDay (talk) 21:54, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Linda McMahon's photo

It took me two (2) seconds to find the picture not the SBA's updated url... all you have to do is LOOK. Quit being lazy. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 00:38, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was a photoshopped image regardless of its place on the SBA site. Not something to get so pressed over 😬😬 Washingtonediter (talk) 03:56, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

edit to 2020 US presidential election

I appreciated your recent edit to 2020 United States presidential election. I wonder if you noticed that the term you deleted was still in the article, at a different location, and if you meant to keep it there with the presumably different references. Cheers. --Spiffy sperry (talk) 21:09, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
