This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Orphaned references in Larry Hogan

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Larry Hogan's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Unofficial":

From 2018 United States gubernatorial elections: "Unofficial 2018 Gubernatorial Primary Election results for Governor / Lt. Governor". Maryland State Board of Elections. Annapolis, Maryland: State Board of Elections. July 10, 2018. Archived from the original on July 11, 2018. Retrieved July 11, 2018.
From 2018 Maryland gubernatorial election: "Unofficial 2018 Gubernatorial Primary Election results for Governor / Lt. Governor". Maryland State Board of Elections. Annapolis, Maryland: State Board of Elections. July 10, 2018. Retrieved July 11, 2018.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:06, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Political positions": section doesn't seem promotional

‹ The template below (Promotional) is being considered for merging. See templates for discussion to help reach a consensus. ›

The "Political positions" section was flagged as promotional, as above. After reading the article (with little knowledge about its subject) I have removed the tag: the content is all of the type "he did this, he did that, he took that position", without praise or condemnation, and with sources. If anything is incorrect it obviously needs correcting; if relevant things have been omitted they need adding. But I don't see any more signs of bias or selection that in comparable articles.
