Door Wide Open

Just a note to say thanks for your help. It looks a lot better now. I realized my error in naming the book after I created the entry.Kerojack, Argenta (talk) 16:15, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

2012 Page

Why did you remove my image? I updated the Numbers along with the current predictions, and used the map to show that the democrats would lose six votes from 2008's election, if the results were to go the same way, backing up a claim on the page.

Making predictions for an election over a year before there are even going to be any candidates is clearly a massive violation of WP:Crystal. The map as it was before (and is now) is better quality, and doesn't make any uninformed predictions based on the completely unprecedented idea of the results of one election being exactly the same as those of the election which preceded it. — Hysteria18 • Talk • Contributions 12:54, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

The map as it stands now does not match the information on the page.

I didn't realise that was the case. I'm personally uncertain as to what source we're using for these sections, but of course consistency between the map and the figures given in the article is a necessity. Feel free to edit the numbers on the map; my only problem is with the colouring of the states, which I've explained above. — Hysteria18 • Talk • Contributions 18:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

2012 Page

I like your idea. Thanks. And, as a lesser note, how do you get those template thingies on your user page? Like the one that says "this user is a libertarian socialist." FallenMorgan (talk) 19:10, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. The boxes on my page are known as Userboxes and you can find them at the subpages listed here. From those pages, you just need to find the boxes you want, then copy and paste the code to your userpage. Hysteria18 (talk) 19:30, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

How do I organize them into a table sort of thing, now? And also, thank you for treating the third parties as real parties. Most would outright delete the section for a third party, rather than edit grammar and things like that.  :) FallenMorgan (talk) 16:49, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

If I were you, I'd just copy the code straight from my page, if you want it to look roughly like mine, then change the boxes to the ones you want, and change the colours and other parameters as you want. Alternatively, you could use the Userboxtop and Userboxbottom templates as outlined on the Userboxtop page to put them in a sort of vertical table, or the gallery template to have them more as a break from the rest of the text, rather than alongside it. — Hysteria18 • Talk • Contributions 17:27, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

2012 Third Party

If you read the talk page of the 2012 Presidential election, you'll see that it was agreed upon to have them together in one section. Rockyobody (talk) 22:48, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Maybe then we should have all the candidates together in one section. FallenMorgan (talk) 00:35, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm afraid to say I still have no idea what you're talking about. I've read the talk page the whole way through twice now, and I'm still unable to find the consensus that you refer to here and in one of your edit summaries. Do you think you could provide a link? Thanks. — Hysteria18 • Talk • Contributions 16:17, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

We Did It, Kid

Judging by what Rockyobody said in his tiny edit summary, it looks like we won the edit war! FallenMorgan (talk) 08:49, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

S

The rule is that if the name of someone, a state, or whatever ends with an S, you don't add an apostrophe S at the end. So for example, let's say there was a guy named Carlos and a guy named Arnold who both lost their hats; if you were to ask where their hats were, you'd say/type "Where did Arnold's hat go?" That one is with an apostrophe S at the end, but if you were to ask where the hat that belongs to Carlos went, you'd say/type "Where did Carlos' hat go?", NOT Where did Carlos's hat go? - Eugene Krabs (talk) 22:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
