Should we be editing to this page instead now?

Just curious. 74.107.74.186 (talk) 07:48, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Negative space in between endorsements and desc.

Not sure if we could fix that issue. If so, could someone please get onto it? Book wormed (talk) 16:48, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like someone fixed it. 74.107.74.186 (talk) 22:35, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DNC Officials

AP's survey of Superdelegates found eight supporting Bernie. Including Raul Grijalva, Keith Ellison, Troy Jackson, and Sanders himself (per TheGreenPapers he is a superdelegate because he caucuses with the Dems) takes care of four. Any idea who the other four are? They should be on this list. PotvinSux (talk) 00:10, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Larry Cohen is one ... still need 3 morePotvinSux (talk) 23:59, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Chad Nolan, a Comitteeman from ND seems to be another... still 2 out therePotvinSux (talk) 04:20, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Richard Cassidy of VT is another... one more out therePotvinSux (talk) 06:24, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of VPP at end of state senators.

@PotvinSux Just want to start off by thanking you for all the work, but I feel the addition of VPP is unnecessary for state senators. It just clogs the section up and looks bulky. Motion to remove tag? Book wormed (talk) 15:08, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The general endorsement page this transcludes to has (and has had possibly since the page's inception) wording in its introductory description to the effect that all listed are members or supporters (in the case of celebrities and the like) of the Democratic Party "unless otherwise noted." These folks are not Democrats and should be noted. I don't think aesthetics are trivial at all, but I do think they have to be a secondary consideration to consistency. (In either case I don't think the notes are particularly bulky or that they clog anything up. For example, Chestnut-Tangerman goes onto a second line with or without the note and I altered Christopher Pearson to Chris Pearson solving the other issue [I did make sure that he sometimes goes by Chris])PotvinSux (talk) 02:58, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ryan Gosling is not endorsing any political candidate until further notice.

Following his tweet about Sanders' response to bigotry and racism, Ryan Gosling announced that he is not endorsing any political candidate: "I'm not endorsing a political candidate btw. It's more the talking and listening I'm a fan of."

Why was the endorsement by the Inlandboatmen's Union of the Pacific removed?

I no longer see this endorsement listed under National Labor Organizations. The edit removing it states that there was no page for the union. Howeverr, the union is a division of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, so I will be re-instating this endorsement and specifically mentioning the relation. (talk) 21:37, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As they are a regional division of a national union, I re-grouped them with the state and local divisions. I do think that in general a subdivision would need its own page but there is this geographical element here that can resolve the page requirement in a way consistent with precedent.PotvinSux (talk) 04:01, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, thanks! 98.169.44.13 (talk) 04:52, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please reverse the two edits I just made

My browser screwed up and literally broke this Wikipedia article. Please undo both my recent edits. 200.98.197.34 (talk) 19:47, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Leonardo DiCaprio endorsing Bernie?

I found these two articles stating that DiCaprio praises Sanders' response to Climate change and called Bernie inspiring. Should we add his name to endorsements? Sources: [1], [2], and [3]. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 00:24, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A flattering comment followed by 'who knows who the candidate will be'/'we should create a dialogue' is not an endorsement. However, given that he maxed out to the Clinton campaign in July, this newfound ambivalence is notable enough to take him off of the Clinton list for the time being.PotvinSux (talk) 01:42, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed Book wormed (talk) 02:43, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please remove Leo from Hillary's list. There's no clear sign he supports Hillary. I'm sure sooner or later it'll be clear his endorsement for Bernie since he supported Obama over Clinton. - TDKR
Done.PotvinSux (talk) 05:11, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone want to migrate to endorsements for republican presidential primaries?

The page is very messy, with little consideration of pre-set page requirements. I think I'll work on both pages for a while. Book wormed (talk) 08:29, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm re-adding CANY because it fulfilled a page-requirement (USAction's). Further discussion can be held here as to why you believe it shouldn't be incorporated. 2601:14D:8300:7900:9C5D:5178:6246:1606 (talk) 15:18, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's fine as it stands right now. CANY is not an affiliate of Citizens Action. They just took the name with them after the dissolution of the national faction. Book wormed (talk) 03:23, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Criteria for “endorsement”

Hi Book wormed: Norm Kelly’s tweet says only “Go @SenSanders!”,[4] which your summary said “meet[s] the criteria of an endorsement”.[5] To me, the tweet sounded like support only. Could you help me understand the criteria? Cheers! LLarson (talk) 01:09, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support is the key word. Book wormed (talk) 03:22, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! LLarson (talk) 03:41, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Saved Jim Webb's 'endorsement' below. Needs further discussion. I don't think it qualifies as an endorsement; more like approval.

U.S. Senate

Former

I agree. Not an endorsement. 98.169.44.13 (talk) 15:37, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
