Candidates infobox

Lifteveryvoice, are the candidates in the infobox not the leading candidates? Also, you said someone was: making sure women candidates have the worst pictures, but all I see is Felicia Moore, and the picture is from her article. Further, you prefaced that with: Someone has been deliberately screwing with this page from Day 1. Who? If that's the case, I'm prepared to take decisive action, but I need proof (evidence in the from of WP:DIFFs). Thank you. El_C 00:47, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please check the Talk page and the history of edits. Bottleofchocolatemilk has been behind the changes, including designating other candidates as having ‘failed to qualify’ when they did. Alex Barrella is also a write in candidate who qualified but he was listed among the ‘failures’ which is why I removed the designation altogether.

Felicia has had more than one picture and the current one is the most unflattering yet. Sharon Gay, another female candidate, has no picture at all. Bottleofchocolatemilk got the picture of the other lady, Raina Bell-Saunders, deleted.

Atlanta does not have primaries; all the candidates are non-partisan so the info box is unnecessary and misleading.

Bottleofchocolatemilk originally had the pictograph using unprofessional selfies for all candidates except Kasim Reed and has been the self-designated gatekeeper for this page. I strongly suspect this person is part of a campaign because this page has never gotten this much attention.

The race down here is quite dirty with all kinds of shenanigans taking place on a daily basis. There’s no need for it to spill over onto the Wikipedia page.

As a matter of transparency, Lifteveryvoice (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has only edited pages related to this election, including the draft page of one candidate. —C.Fred (talk) 01:12, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, this is not adding up for me. No diffs, as requested, either. El_C 01:13, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, C.Fred, I just noticed in passing that the other user, BottleOfChocolateMilk (ping), just reverted a sitting Arb last week, with the reasoning cited being vandalism (diff), so this is quite a strange brew, either way. El_C 01:26, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So I can’t be new? And someone else can joyfully jack a page with no oversight because they’ve been here longer?

Whatever. Lifteveryvoice (talk) 01:34, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like this Bottleofchocolatemilk is spoiled and is wreaking havoc with local election pages. Lifteveryvoice (talk) 01:35, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You can be new, I assure you! El_C 01:37, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lifteveryvoice, you do realize that your version (not theirs) is the one that's currently protected (at the highest protection level available), right? El_C 01:39, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, I did not. I’m still having a hard enough time reading the coding lol. I apologize, I’m beyond frustrated. I know a few of the candidates from social media and from being friends with journalists who talk shop in front of me. Lifteveryvoice (talk) 01:42, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
