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.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

This page is about an active 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. Because of this, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Orphaned references in Karin Housley[edit]

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 Karin Housley'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 "primaryresults":

From Al Franken: "Statewide Results for U.S. Senator, Primary Election". Minnesota Secretary of State. Archived from the original on May 7, 2017. Retrieved July 3, 2017. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |deadurl= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help)
From Minnesota gubernatorial election, 2014: "Statewide Results for Governor & Lt Governor, Primary Election". Minnesota Secretary of State. Retrieved August 13, 2014.
From Mike McFadden: "Statewide Results for U.S. Senator, Primary Election". Minnesota Secretary of State. Retrieved August 13, 2014.

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 ⚡ 11:03, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Change "In 2019, Housley also voted against the Alec Smith Emergency Insulin Act, which would ensure diabetics have access to the insulin they need to survive." to "In 2020, Housley voted for the Alec Smith Emergency Insulin Act, which would ensure diabetics have access to the insulin they need to survive.^[1]" Mnjobs (talk) 16:34, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: I can't (currently) see anything about the "Alec Smith Emergency Insulin Act" in the article. Seagull123 Φ 18:42, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 5 November 2020[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the beginning of the wiki page there seems to be some things that are located in the wrong section. Remove "Housley ran unsuccessfully as the Republican nominee in Minnesota's 2018 special election for the United States Senate." because it is already in the Political area.

Remove "In 2020, Housley expressed sympathy with the "anti-vaxxer" movement, opposing a mandatory vaccine bill and attending an "anti-vax" rally.[1] In 2019, Housley also voted against the Alec Smith Emergency Insulin Act, which would allow access to insulin for diabetics.[2]". reference just goes back to the webpage. Also if it should be kept move to Political. Eagle55044 (talk) 18:10, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
