Your edits to Daniel Webster (Florida politician)[edit]

Hi, thank you for your recent edits. I've reverted your edits to the Daniel Webster infobox, as its previous format conforms to Template:Infobox_officeholder#Usage, which explains the "prior_term" parameter. Thanks, Starrfruit (talk) 13:48, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May 2017[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Andrew G. McCabe does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Please use your edit summary when you revert someone's edits. If you don't want to use it, then I will revert it as unexplained. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 22:25, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Ted Yoho[edit]

Hi, I've reverted your edit to the Ted Yoho infobox, as its previous format conforms to Template:Infobox_officeholder#Usage, which explains how the predecessor and successor parameters should be used when districts are changed dramatically during redistricting. Thanks, Starrfruit (talk) 01:03, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts on Ambassadors of the United States[edit]

Hi, can you explain to me why my edits were reverted when it's been documented that the nominees have been confirmed to their posts according to the Congressional Record? I'm at a loss. Snickers2686 (talk) 03:17, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Snickers2686:, I apologize for that. That was my mistake. I thought that Todd Philip Haskell was confirmed to be ambassador to the DRC and not the Republic of the Congo, so I reverted your edit. I then realized that my revert was wrong, so I reverted that. Once again, I apologize. JocularJellyfish (talk) 12:47, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Succession box order[edit]

Within WikiProject United States courts and judges, there is no established consensus regarding succession box order. And over hundreds of articles, slightly over half were arranged last to first and slightly under half were arranged first to last. Since late January, I have cleaned up over 1,000 articles, virtually all of the District/Court of Appeals/Trade Court under Clinton/G.W. Bush/Obama. Among other cleanup, I have arranged all those articles last to first. People were doing them both ways, so I arranged them all to the order that was slightly more prevalent to begin with. It may be backwards from the way other WikiProjects are doing it, but at least it is consistent within this WikiProject. Right now, I will leave them the way I currently have them, but if a consensus develops within WikiProject United States courts and judges to do it the other way, I will reverse them.

Proposed deletion of Michael A. Raynor[edit]

The article Michael A. Raynor has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Re:Thapar[edit]

At the time, Thapar had not received his commission (or at least it wasn't noted) to the Court of Appeals, thus implying he was still seated on the district court. As of today FJC still says he's actively on both (being as his district court service hasn't been terminated yet) but I will let your revert stand since those edits will be done eventually. Now we just need to wait for a termination date on the district court. Snickers2686 (talk) 16:26, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
