- @WereSpielCheqers - Thanks. Getting my feet wet. :) Working on researching some articles to add.
Dan Seals and other politicians
[edit]Hi! I reviewed the Dan Seals article, please see my changes to it and my comments on its Talk page. imo I've improved the flow and balance, but we'll see what others say. Have you added it to your Watch list? And have you thought about working on other Illinois politician and election articles? You can check my User page and see what the relevant groups are that you might like to join. Just a thought - I don't know if you're a new person, or an experienced person who just got an account.

- @Flatterworld - Hi back! New acct/ Semi-new user. Am researching for other Illinois political material of all stripes, mostly local to state info. Could be a fun new hobby. I came across the Dan Seals article while researching something else and the Residency thing just sorta stood out to me as being out of date. Plus that Tribune reference was definitely not npov given the reporter's biases but no way to have known that at the time it was originally linked I suppose.

Endorsements: there seem to be mixed views. We have List of Barack Obama presidential campaign endorsements, 2008, but on the current Ken Buck article there are several adamantly against any endorsements. You may want to consider adding them to the election article itself, contrasting the endorsements of each candidate. imo these are helpful, particularly the newspaper endorsements because of the editorials explaining the board's reasons, but the rest give a general idea of the issue agreements as well.

Illinois 10th Race
[edit]Why did you delete the poll I added for the 10th District? I believe their is no questionable data in it. Personally, I believe some of those internal Democratic Polls are biased and are not accurate. Please do not be biased about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.62.185 (talk) 20:09, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
I am contacting We Ask America about the issue. I'm sure it was just a typo. If so, I'll repost it if they correct it. Thank You for pointing that out! (Talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:01, 18 October 2010 (UTC).
They have corrected the issue. I will repost it as a result. (Talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:01, 18 October 2010 (UTC).
- OK. Thanks for follow-up! Cardinal91 (talk) 02:36, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
Labno
[edit]Why did you add him?--Jerzeykydd (talk) 03:00, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Labno
[edit]Hi Cardinal91, I just wanted to let you know that no official policy has ever been made in regards to polling and inclusion of a candidate in an infobox. A number of discussions have taken place at my different locations, but nothing has ever been conclusive. I support the inclusion of ballot-qualified candidates in infoboxes whenever possible. Jerzeykydd has a way of reverting every day changes which he thinks is a consensus, when in reality it is his and a couple other editors personal preferences.--TM 04:11, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Nomination of Michael Labno for deletion
[edit]A discussion has begun about whether the article Michael Labno, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Labno until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. TM 20:39, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
