User talk:AmYisroelChai

Hello, AmYisroelChai, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your edits and we hope you will continue to improve the encyclopedia. However, I need to ask you to stop changing "first" to "only" with regard to Barack Obama being the first African-American president. That edit of yours has been reverted twice now, and I need to warn you not to add it a third time. We are forbidden to edit war at that article or any other article relating to American politics, because they are under a restriction known as Discretionary Sanctions. I will post the formal DS warning below this note. You haven't done anything wrong, not yet, but it's important for you to realize that you can only "revert" another edit once in a 24 hour period. Since some people are disagreeing with you on this, you need to discuss it at the article's talk page. Thanks! --MelanieN (talk) 20:18, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Minor Edits

Hello, AmYisroelChai. This is in regard to your edit to Ahitophel and several other pages. I've noticed that on many edits you've ticked the "this is a minor edit" box. That box is intended for use when doing very small, uncontroversial things like editing out a typo. It's not for use when making significant changes to an article.

Bolding on Dow closing milestones

Hey... just wanted to let you know that point increments have nothing to do with which milestone gets bolded. It is always every 5th milestone. 20000, 20500 (1st), 21000 (2nd), 21500 (3rd), 22000 (4th), 22500 (5th). The point increment just determines what number counts as a milestone. I changed it to 500 when the Dow hit 20k since 200 was 1%. I just wanted you to be aware of that. I reverted your edit so everything is fixed. --Figfires^{Send me a message!} 20:55, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Presidential Firsts

If Jimmy Carter lives to be 140 he'll be the oldest president ever. If Barack Obama divorces and remarries five times, he'll be the most married president ever. Just because it could happen, doesn't make it worth mentioning. This has been discussed before. Czolgolz (talk) 21:25, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

ok ok but this is more realistic and it says something to this effect on other pages including GH Bush that if he lives till that date that he would be the longest lived president

Good point. I removed it from the Bush article as well. Czolgolz (talk) 15:06, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Election pages

Can you explain why you are removing |posttitle=Subsequent Prime Minister from election pages? Nihlus 16:08, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Because it should be elected prime minister as it is on most parliamentary election pages AmYisroelChai (talk) 16:09, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Not all parliamentary democracies elect prime ministers directly. Please seek consensus for these changes.-gadfium 18:24, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry but if there was a parliamentary election the subsequent prime minister is the elected prime minister. AmYisroelChai (talk) 18:50, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

In most countries, prime ministers aren't directly elected. After parliamentary elections, if a party or a coalition secures a majority, then usually the majority of those parliamentarians will vote them in as prime minister, either in a vote of confidence resulting in their appointment or a vote between different individuals. Mélencron (talk) 19:30, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Technically they're not directly elected pm but effectually they are. AmYisroelChai (talk) 19:32, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

That has some validity for elections in the first past the post era in New Zealand, although the party which got the most votes did not become the government in the 1978 and 1981 elections. Since the MMP era, starting in 1996, there is a less direct relationship between votes and who becomes the prime minister, with all governments since then being either minority or coalition arrangements. In particular, since the most recent election, the prime minister belongs to a party which did not gain the most votes.-gadfium 20:13, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

The point is there was an election so the subsequent pm is technically the elected pm even if technically the election wasn't for pm AmYisroelChai (talk) 20:23, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

There's not a direct connection between the election and who becomes PM.-gadfium 20:30, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Actually there is as its the leader of a party elected in the election who becomes pm usually the leader of the party who have won most seats in the election AmYisroelChai (talk) 20:52, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

New Zealand's late election proves you wrong. The person who became PM is from a party that did not get the most votes. Hence, you cannot possibly say that the PM was elected in the election, and that's why you were reverted. Schwede66 23:44, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

John Adams

Hello. Please do not add unreferenced material to articles as you did for John Adams. It is Wikipedia policy that all claims must be reliably sourced, and it is not acceptable to add large amounts of information to an article without verifying or saying where you got it. The information was at first removed. Most of the time, it is not beneficial to remove information that seems to be true but is not sourced. Instead, it would have been better for the other editor to include a citation needed template. Therefore, I'm not going to delete the information, but you should know to include sources whenever you add information to a Wikipedia page. It is best to use Template:cite web or Template:cite book, depending on what type of source you're using. Display name 99 (talk) 15:52, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
