Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Thom Tillis. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. He is not yet a Senator. Thank you.Bettering the Wiki (talk) 02:02, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Please stop

You're making a lot of revisions to many members of Congress's succession boxes (and more, I think), without explanation. And I've already asked you to explain but you haven't responded. {{ USRepSuccessionBox}} is a useful template and you're getting rid of it. You're also changing detailed dates and removing their months and years. Please stop or explain.—GoldRingChip 02:10, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Please wait until Noon EST, Jan 3, 2015

I don't seem to be getting through to you, for some reason. Again, would you please wait until Noon EST, before unhiding the succession boxes & updating the dates. GoodDay (talk) 07:16, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

My apologizes. I do indeed value your succession boxes contributions. I just wish there was a way we could come to a compromise on how to present them, during the time between election & inauguration dates. GoodDay (talk) 07:13, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Wait for it

According to Nebraska's two largest newspapers, the Omaha World-Herald and the Lincoln Journal Star, Ben Sasse won't be sworn in as a U.S. senator until January 6. Unless you've got a reliable source that states otherwise, please wait until he's sworn in before changing his status from senator-elect to junior senator. Thanks. — Ammodramus (talk) 02:36, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Chairperson

Thank you for tidying up a lot of politicians' infoboxes, but can you please stop deleting references for a person's religion (which is potentially contentious, hence the reference) and can you please not change "Chairman" and "Chairwoman" to "Chairperson". We use the style that the politician prefers, which is usually Chairman. This means that you'll also see women variously designated as "Chairwoman" (eg Barbara Mikulski) and "Chairman" (eg Dianne Feinstein). Please stop making this change and respect the person's preference. Thanks, Tiller54 (talk) 21:56, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Not so minor

I note that in one of your recent edits to Ben Sasse, you removed a citation (diff). Your edit summary didn't explain why, and I can't think of any reason why you might have done so. I've restored the deleted citation; if you really think it doesn't belong, I'd suggest that you justify its removal in the edit summary or at the talk page.

I note, as well, that you marked that edit as a minor one. This seems directly contrary to WP:MINOR, whose subsection Help:Minor_edit#When_not_to_mark_an_edit_as_a_minor_edit includes "Adding or removing references or external links in an article". Since many editors have their watchlists set to exclude minor edits, it's best to err on the side of caution in marking edits as minor; I'd strongly urge you to do so in the future, especially when editing articles about political figures, where even a seemingly innocuous edit could prove controversial. — Ammodramus (talk) 23:42, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Oregon governor edits

Thanks for setting up all the changes between Kitzhaber and Brown using notes, it made it very easy to update everything! Valfontis (talk) 18:47, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

It would be nice if you filled in the edit summary with either the purpose of your edit, its philosophy, or a summary of what you are changing. Filling it in would save much time when your edit is reviewed, especially when it is a complex edit like your edit to Jeff Merkley. Thanks. —EncMstr (talk) 18:29, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Stub placement (always go at the end)

Hello, I have been noticing that when you edit bio stub articles, you have been moving up the stub template. Please take note of WP:STUBSPACING -- this guideline says that stubs always go at the very end. The main reason this is done is "so that the stub category will appear after all article content".

US ambassador in Armenia

Hello dear User. I have a question: who is the current US ambassador in Armenia? In this article it's written the John A. Heffern is. But here it is written Richard Mills (I have heard a new ambassador has been appointed in Armenia in December 2014). So where is a mistake? M.Karelin (talk) 06:10, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

MPs term ending dates

Hi, I noticed you had been going through the pages of articles relating to the end date for some people who were Members of Parliament in the United Kingdom. As far as I understand for most MPs that were not re-elected this should read 30 March 2015. That was the date that this Parliament was dissolved and when these people ceased to become MPs- not the date of the general election for the next Parliament, which was held on 7 May 2015. I was wondering if it would be helpful to point you towards the official explanation of this, which can be found here: Dissolution of Parliament. Drchriswilliams (talk) 16:00, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Seriously, all MPs cease to be MPs when Parliament is dissolved. That's how it works. After dissolution there are no Members of Parliament until the election results are declared. If they held ministerial posts then they continue to do so until a successor is appointed, but one does not need to be an MP to hold such a position. --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 16:03, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

I started writing that before Drchriswilliams posted the comment above, but I am happy to second what s/he said! --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 16:06, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

I third that, and suggest you undo all of your own undos on this issue. – Smyth\^talk 17:06, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Therequiembellishere rarely answers any requests for explanations of why reverts are taking place against users that have clearly provided a solid foundation for their edit. As the law states that members stop being an MP on the dissolution of Parliament then May 7 is obviously incorrect as the end date for the previous term in office. They stop being an MP but may be a Minister of the Government until relieved or they resign, a completely separate body. Nasnema  Chat  18:01, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Nasnema, have we ever interacted before? Am I not allowed to leave my computer. I was going to say something about apologies and thanks for the info to the three above but after your unwarranted jibe, I'll just leave it at that. Therequiembellishere (talk) 23:56, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Total nonsense to whoever declares an MP end date before a new MP is returned. See all previous UK general election articles and infoboxes. the date of dissoluitonment is not taken on Wikiepida as per longstanding general consensus if you wish to make such a sweeping and unilateral change go to the main wikiproject and not a user talk page. The WikiProject Politics of the United Kingdom is where to discuss this. Sport and politics (talk) 15:01, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

I second what Sport and politics says regarding this. If you were seriously going to say the term ended on 30 March, then yuo'd have to show a gap in tenure for every other MP in the house who retained their seat. Clearly that would be silly, and we don't bring the technicality of the dissolution of parliament to imply that the seat was vacant for that time. Legally yes, but practically no. As said above, if you really want to change this long standing convention, an RfC would be needed at WikiProject Politics of the United Kingdom.  — Amakuru (talk) 22:48, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Infobox for MPs

Why are you changing the infoboxes of MPs to "officeholder"? The instructions for template:Infobox officeholder state that the appropriate derived template should be used, and Infobox MP is clearly the most appropriate here. Is there a good reason to go against this? Bagunceiro (talk) 20:42, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

I've been told in the past that using those titles involves an unnecessary redirect and that "officeholder" was best but it's possible the precedent has changed since then. Therequiembellishere (talk)

As Bagunceiro has pointed out, the template provides clear guidelines on infobox to use. There is no harm in there being a redirect, that is the whole purpose of redirects therefore there is no reason for doing this. Can you please stop doing this? Tanbircdq (talk) 09:49, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Template:Infobox officeholder states; "Please use the most appropriate name when placing this template on a page." Therefore, despite previously being advised of this (from Bagunceiro and I), why do you change every infobox to officeholder? Now you can either stop doing this, explain why you continue to do this (as per WP:BRD) or the matter can be taken to WP:ANI. The choice is yours, thanks. Tanbircdq (talk) 18:41, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

ANI

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Therequiembellishere changing every biographical political article infobox to officeholder regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:28, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Prime Minister's Ponta Term Ending Date

Hello,

I have noticed that you edited Victor Ponta's Wikipedia Page with the information that his term ended on June 22nd 2015 and that he was succeeded by Gabriel Oprea. Vice Prime Minister Gabriel Oprea only acted as Prime Minister during the brief period when Prime Minister Ponta was hospitalized for a knee injury. On July 8th 2015, the acting President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, signed a Presidential Decree ending the acting period of Vice Prime Minister Gabriel Oprea as Prime Minister. You can view the Decree on this page, by searching M. Of. nr. 0510 din 09 Iulie 2015 Act nr. 642/09 Iulie 2015 Decret privind încetarea interimatului în exercitarea funcţiei de prim-ministru (201500510) Președintele României.

Also, the acting President of Romania is Klaus Iohannis, not Crin Antonescu.

Could you please correct your modifications on Prime Minister's Ponta Wikipedia Page so as to reflect the real situation? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guv Ro (talk • contribs) 14:38, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Infoboxes and succession boxes of congressmen

Please note that there is no such thing as a "seat A" or "seat B" in multiple-seat congressional districts. These denominations are used to organize a wikitable at the articles on these districts, only. Wikipedia is not a source for info in articles. I suggest you just leave the multiple-seat succession boxes as they are, it took sime time to edit them according to the facts and sources. Kraxler (talk) 16:33, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Please check out the link, and adjust your editing behaviour accordingly. It's unnecessary, unhelpful for the reader, and contrary to the guideline, to pipe away the middle initials of people's names.

Canada

The prime minister of Canada, as of the the time of your premature edit to the article, is Stephen Harper. Justin Trudeau has not been sworn in. He has been elected, but has not taken office. The hidden comment, that you ignored, supports that. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:22, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I'm aware. I didn't say he'd taken office, but left Harper in and included Trudeau in as PM-designate, which has been the general standard for the past several years now. As far as I know, it's been a means of avoiding the rv wars that result from not including a newly elected/designated leader at all until the date of their swearing-in occurs. Therequiembellishere (talk) 13:14, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Your edit went against the consensus and it removed the hidden comment. I recognize that you didn't remove his name, but the actual term, "Prime Minister-designate" is contentious—the discussion we had couldn't determine if he was "elect" or "designate". Ultimately, we decided that it would be best just to leave it off the page. Some of the reasons are that he has no real power presently, and that the time to the transition would be short (two weeks, versus almost two months in the American system). Our compromise was to inject the hidden comment. If you want to propose your option, feel free to do so on the talk page. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:49, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Templates

Please be aware that we have an established consensus that succession footers are not placed at the bottom of a Canadian politician's article if the succession information for that same position is already listed in the infobox at the top, or in a dedicated navbox template for that position. There's an active project on Wikipedia to reduce template creep by eliminating redundant templates that are just repeating the same information as each other in different formats, so please don't go around readding "s-par|ca" succession footers to MPs who already have infoboxes. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 05:21, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Executive, legislative powers of Lithuanian ceremonial president

The powers of the President of Lithuania are strictly interpreted within the Lithuanian Constitution as being ceremonial; per here, where the state is included. Unlike the Erdoğan situation, it is unlikely that she is using her power illegally and unconstitutionally—the European Union would probably not allow this. I am not sure why (exactly) she attends summits instead of the Prime Minister, although there is actually an opposite situation that you may or may not want to take note of. In Portugal, there is a similar argument over whether the President or PM hold the actual, executive power—and the conclusion is, that with Portugal being officially a semi-presidential system, it would be the President wielding more clout and leverage compared to his (somewhat inferior) head of government; per here, where this state has been included. The opposite is the situation for Lithuania, as this is a country of which is a parliamentary republic.

I apologise for linking my message on this page incorrectly over here, although I had to again refer to my points above. Neve-selbert · 23:15, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Would you mind looking at a suggestion I've made?

Hello Therequiembellishere, twice in the past month you've made some good edits to the BLP for U.S. Ambassador to Hungary Colleen Bell, not to mention numerous other profiles of diplomatic officials. I'm writing here to see if you'd be willing to look at a simple proposal I've made on the Colleen Bell Talk page, suggesting what I believe would be a clear improvement to the Producing career section of the page.

The reason I haven't made the edits myself is simple enough: I am working on Amb. Bell's behalf to update the page, as disclosed on the Talk page, and I understand many editors would rather someone with a financial COI not make direct edits. Would you be willing to take a look at my suggestion? Thanks in advance, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 18:55, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

You know what, no sooner had I asked you than somebody else came by and added the new text more or less as suggested. Well, pretty soon I'll be proposing to update sections about her actual ambassadorship. If you might have interest in helping with that later, I'd certainly appreciate it.
