US elections

These are links which, at the candidate level, are provided for candidates and officeholders who have their own articles. For those who don't, and further down the ballot many do not, the links are provided at the election level for all candidates. 174.197.6.13 (talk) 12:21, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Updating Ulysses, PA description

Hi -- Thanks for reaching out to me about my comment and I'm sorry they weren't neutral. I'm a black woman who has visited Ulysses for over 30 years with dear friends who live there. It's simply not true that the town has been "known nationally for its white supremacy for a century." There is no citation for that statement because there's no evidence for it. Mr. Kreiss, who lived there in the 1990s, was not a native of Ulysses -- he moved there from New Jersey, was ignored by the natives who viewed him as a crackpot, and he eventually left. The "Aryan National Congress" he hosted was a small affair that did not involve the locals. The man profiled in the Washington Post article is a bad apple but he doesn't represent the townspeople. People in the town are genuinely open to people of color, homosexuals, transsexuals, Jews, Muslims, etc. It seems unkind to slander a whole town because there are a few bad apples. 108.28.110.7 (talk) 01:01, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What’s the problem?

It (1) was meant to be constructive.

and I still think it is.

It (2) was not a test edit.

and I want it back!

The first instance was a case of breaking up a perfectly fine paragraph of text up into a list, which didn't need to be done. Secondly, the talk page was left with just part of a new section, which thus looked messy and incomplete. I fully appreciate your intentions were good, but both edits damaged both article and talkpage. Orphan Wiki 13:50, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page looks complete to me (on iPhone). Maybe the “==“ stuffs things up (for you): I added that because the references looked like they were part of my item. Why don’t you restore it and make it look the way you want? MBG02 (talk) 11:07, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have done already. That's why it looks complete. Orphan Wiki 11:25, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for the message on my talk page

I have a question to ask you: Do you think a new article about this (Link 1 link 2) could be created ?

--MatterScreech (talk) 23:52, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MatterScreech, hope you're well. If you think there is enough information to warrant a new article being created, then you can give it a go yourself!

Firstly, I would highly recommend reading both Wikipedia:Your first article (which includes a link to the Article Wizard, where you can start working on a proposed article as a draft) and also Wikipedia:Article development, which explains the stages which form part of the creation of a decent article.

Always make sure the article is not written as an advert, but something you would expect to read in an encyclopedia you picked up off a book shelf. Orphan Wiki 13:33, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Puritans under King James

Greetings there. I wish you would please not revert things back on this article without asking. The article is clearly on the Puritans under King James. And I have given their views as well as the Anglican view when they differed. There was clearly no bias in the observation. I clearly state what the Puritans held. Would you like me to quote them on the subject? I appreciate that you are an avid wikipedia user and author, but you don't know the subject here at all. So please don't start a revision war. I will do my best to keep to historical observations and placing their views in the proper context, as I always do. There was nothing wrong with what I stated.
