Andrew Cuomo

Your recent edit to the page Andrew Cuomo appears to have added incorrect information and has been reverted or removed. All information in this encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable, published source. If you believe the information that you added was correct, please cite the references or sources or before making the changes, and discuss them on the article's talk page. Please use the sandbox for any tests that you wish to make. Do take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you.

Although you are right that his swearing in ceremony was yesterday evening, 12/31/10, he did not officially take office until 12:01 AM Saturday. Please refrain from making this erroneous edit again. Sinisterminister (talk) 18:25, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of this fact, the subject matter that is more important, especially for the introductory paragraph, is the date he took office. The fact that he had a small ceremony a half hour before midnight is entirely inconsequential to what is officially, legally recognized. If you would still like to offer this fact for consideration in this page, I would suggest you place it further down in the body of the article, and provide much more context for the condition of his swearing in, including the broader ceremonial activities that took place — overshadowing this event — on the following day. In order to be an effective editor on Wikipedia, it is important to understand which information is appropriate where, so I have pasted a welcoming template with more information to help orient you. This welcome also includes information on how to properly sign your name on talk pages. Please also reference the Talk page guidelines when responding to me or commenting on any other talk pages.

This is your last warning; the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Andrew Cuomo, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Cuomo took office on January 1st. Primary point of importance. End of discussion. I have warned you several times, and will not continue to put up with your unprofessional, inconsiderate behavior, and will call in an editor to help arbitrate.

It would be helpful if you provided a legitimate argument as to why you think December 31 is an important date for consideration in the introductory paragraph. Right now your argument can be summed up simply as "disagree". Sinisterminister (talk) 21:19, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Paterson's term expired at midnight. New York didn't have 2 Governors in office, not even for a few minutes. GoodDay (talk) 22:21, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, but once more what? Please don't threaten me. I think the record reflects that I am simply asking for a suitable source for when the Governor of New York took office. I would like to ask that we find a neutral editor arbitrate our dispute because you are no longer being courteous or objective. 75.73.50.195 (talk) 03:52, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

Let me point out our policy on edit warring, which states "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether it involves the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of the 3RR rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours.". You've already crossed the 3RR boundary on Andrew Cuomo and further reverts may result in blocks.

I've already addressed this [1][2], no need for you to poke your nose into it. I don't know in what world you think your actions would be appropriate, so claiming to be a 'rookie' is not a good defense - and with the knowledge of WP:V evidenced in this edit, I don't buy that you're a rookie at all. I’d suggest you revise your last edit and just leave the apology, delete the rest. Dreadstar 16:31, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please let my comments stand. Please do not suggest I revise comments and then revise them yourself. 75.73.50.195 (talk) 03:36, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't repeat what you did at the Governor of New York article. We've already explained to you, that assumption of office is what counts, not the EXACT time of the administration of the oath of office. GoodDay (talk) 02:45, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry. I won't. I stand corrected. Thanks for the civility. 75.73.50.195 (talk) 03:36, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
