Your contributed article, Mike Cunningham (Missouri politician)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Mike Cunningham (Missouri politician). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Mike Cunningham (politician). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Mike Cunningham (politician). If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:36, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Elmar Truu

Hello Lovin'Politics. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Elmar Truu, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 09:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

@Shirt58: so are you saying one sentence is all that is required for a wiki article?

Yes, and, Lovin'Politics, I strongly suggest that you stop tagging articles for speedy deletion until you get familiar with the policies. Thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:27, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: I believe a 10 - 20 word article would go under the A1 rule: no context. it literally says "It applies only to very short articles" Lovin'Politics (talk) 11:30, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

But it does not say that very short articles always lack context. "No context" does not mean "very short", and every article I have seen that you have tagged as "no context" has in fact had quite sufficient context. It is very good advice to wait until you have more experience before starting to tag articles for speedy deletion. --bonadea contributions talk 11:34, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Indeed, in this particular article we are discussing there is sufficient context to determine that the person is notable (per WP:NPOL) and there is a reference to a reliable source confirming what is in the article. Such articles are not eligible to be deleted as A1, though an expansion is of course welcome.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:53, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sara Walsh (politician)

The article Sara Walsh (politician) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article doesn't seem to meet the WP:GNG and is about a politician whose sources only come from sites related to the subject and/or government sites. Also, making it meet the WP:A7 criterion for speedy deletion.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. - 𓋹 𝓩𝓲𝓪𝓭 𝓡𝓪𝓼𝓱𝓪𝓭 𓋹 [user | talk] 09:38, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Using the same reference several times

Hi there, Lovin'Politics, I just wanted to give you a tip about re-using a reference in an article – it is something we very often do, and there is a handy way to do it without having multiple repetitions in the list of references. For instance, if you look at Michael Chapman (Missouri politician) you'll see that reference 2 is used four times in the article, but it only appears once in the reference list. You can do the same thing in Sara Walsh (politician) where the same reference appears five times, by using the "name" parameter in the reference tag. Instead of having the complete citation template every time the reference is used in the article, add a name to the first reference like this: <ref name="NAME">{{cite web| [all the information]}}</ref> (where "NAME" should be something that identifies the reference). Every time you want to use the same reference again, you insert <ref name="NAME" /> without the {{cite web}} part. More information about how to do it is here.

You could also look into adding more information to the references. The reference called "Sarah Walsh profile" does not tell the reader anything about who published the information or how old it is – we don't know where the information comes from unless we click the link. This is a bad idea for two reasons: most importantly, readers should be able to see what the source is without having to go there, and secondly, if the URL should die in the future, it is much harder to find a replacement if we don't know what the original source was. I hope that makes sense! Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 11:04, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Good Article icon

Hello! I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions has been undone because it added the Good Article template to Joe Kennedy III, an article that has not been promoted by the Good Article Nomination process. If you believe that this article meets the Good Article Criteria, then you are encouraged to nominate it for review by following the Good Article nominating instructions. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Good Article Nominations talk page. Thank you. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 14:27, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions

Hello, Lovin'Politics,

Why did you tag this blank page as a negative, "attack page"? You created the talk page, it was blank except for your tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:33, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

@Liz: I felt like the article was not properly sourced, so that's why I suggested it for speedy deletion, was there anything wrong?

It's just that the tag was put on the talk page instead of on the article. Also, attack pages are typically entirely negative or BLP-violating content, they have nothing to do with sourcing. Please review Criteria for Speedy Deletion for guidance on different categories that are used for speedy deletion tagging. Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:47, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Missouri State Congressional Term Limits Amendment of 1992 and other note

Hello @Lovin'Politics: just wanted to draw your attention to the article that you created: Missouri State Congressional Term Limits Amendment of 1992. Looks like that is actually not the title of the legislation that led to term limits for state legislators in Missouri. Trying to fix that up as it looks like such an important framework in Missouri politics is underdeveloped in WikiPedia. Also, I would appreciate it if you would try to explain your edits, if you could! Hoping to improve the MO Legislators/Assembly articles. Thank you for your work on WP!
Cheers, PerpetuityGrat (talk)

Also, really hoping you can add any semblance of an edit summary given that you are editing hundreds (if not more) of articles of living persons. Anything brief helps, thanks! PerpetuityGrat (talk) 20:44, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

March 2021

Hello, I'm Sundayclose. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you unlinked one or more redlinks from Vaccine diplomacy. Often redlinks can be helpful, so we don't remove them just because they are red. They help improve Wikipedia by attracting editors to create needed articles.

In addition, clicking on the "What links here" special link (in the Wikipedia Toolbox at left) on a missing article shows how many—and which—articles depend on that article being created. This can help prioritize article creation. Redlinks are useful! Please only remove a redlink if you are pretty sure that it is to a non-notable topic and not likely ever to be created. Thanks! Sundayclose (talk) 22:02, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Lovin. I'm glad you have a better grasp of the need for sources. Let me suggest that you slow down a little in making bold edits. Get to know Wikipedia a little better. It's better for a while if let more experienced editors do things like nominating pages for deletion, adding Good Article icons to articles, etc. Work on content, not the internal workings of Wikipedia, because you're good with content. As you get more experience you'll have a better idea of how to handle more complex matters. Best wishes. Sundayclose (talk) 22:08, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Edit Summaries

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks!
I am adding this here, kindly asking to start using edit summaries. You and I both edit lots of BLPs, most of the same ones, and reading edit summaries can help other users identify possible reasons for edits. Feel free to chat back with me anytime, thanks again.
PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:19, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

@Lovin'Politics: wondering if you could please use even the most brief of edit summaries. You and I both are frequently editing BLP articles, and it is helpful to follow edits with a simple edit summary. Please oblige, thanks. PerpetuityGrat (talk) 17:41, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kurtis Gregory

The article Kurtis Gregory 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. VAXIDICAE💉 01:05, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Praxidicae hi I removed it because it said "delete it when you have at least one reliable source" and I added the ballotpedia and the missouri house website so :) Lovin'Politics (talk) 01:09, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

2022 Elections Task Force

Hi Lovin'Politics,

I'm looking at starting a task force of Wikipedia editors to work on the pages of candidates up for election in 2022. Many congressional member pages have very few votes or political positions (for example, compare Michelle Steel and Steve Chabot against Nicole Malliotakis), and so I think it would be a great resource for us to flesh out a lot of these pages ahead of the election to better support people who come to Wikipedia for information before they vote.

I see you've been active on a couple of congressperson pages recently so thought you might be interested. If you are, please message me on my talk page. Once I have a couple of interested editors I will work on building a task force page so we can coordinate our work. No worries at all if you're not interested or too busy. Thanks for everything you do for the Wikipedia communtiy!
