Huh? No, it's not! You're confusing the help desk with this one.--TMCk (talk) 16:46, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To the OP: Google for it and if you can't find the correct part you could get an universal gasket like this one from ebay.--TMCk (talk) 16:49, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2016 Democratic National Committee email leak, Lawrence Lessig

I don't know if it was spin or what, but I heard people on talk radio saying that because Bernie Sanders only caucused with the Democratic party, rather than being a Democrat, the DNC wasn't obligated to be fair towards him. That could be valid although unappealing. So my question is, are there leaked emails indicating lack of fairness towards Lessig or not? As far as I know, Lessig is a member of the democratic party.144.35.45.91 (talk) 16:09, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I'm aware the only leaks have been on wikileaks where the emails at least are ordinary text and searchable. So you can easily find yourself that lessig doesn't seem to be mentioned at all [1]. This doesn't rule out misspellings or mentioning Lessig without mentioning his surname or attachments which I'm not sure if wikileaks supports searching at all. But it's also easy to take a random sampling of emails mentioning lawrence where you'll probably find that none of them seem to be referring to Lawrence Lessig [2].

This shouldn't particularly surprising since Lessig withdrew on November 2 which well before the primaries and caucases and less than 2 months after entering the race on September 6. He did not appear in any debates after controversy over the appearance requirement (although was invited to one but dropped out before it happened). (And in case you're wondering about the debates, there seems to be little discussion of them in the email [3] [4]. Remembering of course that people still use face to face communication, letters, phones and maybe even faxes for a fair few official things.) He had even less of an impact than Martin O'Malley [5] [6] [7] who frankly I think even most ardent Democrats will struggle to name. (I.E there was little reason to care that much about whether to be fair to Lessig's campaign.)

Incidentally, although the emails nominally cover the period "January last year until 25 May this year", probably less than 800 of them are from before 2016 [8] [9] [10] [11]. And this is including a bunch where either the email system or wikileaks hasn't properly caught the date as well as those marked as spam. Whether this is because different people were involved who's emails weren't leaked, the emails were missed for some reason, or simply there were few emails at that early stage I don't know.

There is no party to be part of. Our system doesn't work like that on a national level. Rmhermen (talk) 17:53, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New York City Political Structure

I am trying to find the political structure of all elected officials in NYC. For example--- Mayor, Vice Mayor, and so on all the way to the lowest elected office. Can you help, please.

Start at Government_of_New_York_City and then come back with any other questions not answered. RudolfRed (talk) 16:59, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
