DC election results

You seem to be the one who added most of the election history for DC politicians, so I thought I'd let you know that Gogo Dodo wants to delete that section from the Carol Schwartz article, saying it's too much data and doesn't add to it. I tend to agree that the election results clutter the articles, but I think they are valuable, especially when some of the articles haven't progressed to the point of covering all the elections. I'm wondering whether they should be handled differently, maybe even in separate election articles, and probably with tables. —KCinDC (talk) 02:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Thanks for minding the Affordable Care Act article. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:40, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks!

I appreciate very much the details you have added to Nevertheless, she persisted. Thanks for correcting the copy and making the account on the Senate floor more accurate—details matter, and your contributions make the article better. Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 18:09, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Willow, Wisconsin

Hey, it's probably the only time in the history of Willow, Wisconsin that it will ever get any national attention! --Orange Mike | Talk 21:20, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Agreed. Still not notable. ~ Quacks Like a Duck (talk) 02:31, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Leif Garrett

Hello! I noticed your recent edit to Leif Garrett, and I wanted to ask you why you removed the references and text from the 2006 incident. I haven't gone and reverted it, I just wanted to ask why. ☶☲SouthernKangaroo☶☲ (☎) 13:08, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I didn't delete the text. I broke up a very long paragraph into several paragraphs and did some other minor revisions. If you look at the Difference Between Revisions [1], it will show that. ~ Quacks Like a Duck (talk) 16:12, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Discord edit summary

While looking at the page history of Discord, I noticed your edit summary where you reference WP:MILLION. Just FYI, you're thinking of MOS:MILLION. Most style related things are prefixed by MOS, and if you're not already, try to check links you're putting in your edit summaries first :-). Thanks, ― Levi_OP^Talk 15:59, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Yes, you are correct. I was thinking of MOS:MILLION. Thanks. ~ Quacks Like a Duck (talk) 17:00, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Employee Retention Credit moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Employee Retention Credit, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. John B123 (talk) 12:24, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. I have added citations from reliable, independent sources. I believe it now meets the notability guideline. And I clicked on the "Submit your draft for review" button. ~ Quacks Like a Duck (talk) 02:50, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
