Semi-protected edit request on 27 March 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Can some change "Newsom was asked whether he'd appoint a Black women to replace Dianne Feinstein" to "Newsom was asked whether he'd appoint a Black woman to replace Dianne Feinstein"? The term "Black women" is plural while the term "Black woman" is singular. -- 68.50.32.85 (talk) 01:56, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done But I might delete that sentence as it's not that important how he responded to that question in an interview. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:18, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You made a good point about you thinking about deleting the sentence since he was given a loaded question which was setting him up for a "fail" regardless on how he had answered and the section does not really contribute much to the overall article. -- 68.50.32.85 (talk) 03:21, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How Many?

. . who is the 40th governor of California since January 2019.

Curious to see what other editors think

Nothing in Newsoms article about Rose McGowan allegations about his wife, dealing with covering up the Harvey Weinstein scandal? Seems pretty notable. MaximusEditor (talk) 23:36, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:UNDUE and WP:RECENTISM, since she was just campaigning with Elder on Sunday. Plus isn't her allegation against Newsom's wife, not Newsom? – Muboshgu (talk) 23:39, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 19 September 2021

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Gavin Newsom. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Change “ Newsom prevailed in the 2021 recall election, becoming the second incumbent U.S. governor to survive a recall election.” to “ Newsom prevailed in the 2021 recall election, becoming the second incumbent U.S. governor to survive a recall election, with the other governor being Scott Walker.” 68.53.219.198 (talk) 17:05, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
