August 2020[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page 2020 United States presidential election in Arizona has been reverted.
Your edit here to 2020 United States presidential election in Arizona was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/OHPredictive/status/1292823312297611267) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Hello, I'm XLinkBot.

Edit summaries[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to 2020 United States presidential election in Massachusetts does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! — Tartan357 ^(Talk) 19:00, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please use edit summaries. I see you're not using them for any of your edits, and you're continuing to do so even after I warned you. — Tartan357 ^(Talk) 22:44, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Polling numbers[edit]

You broke the formatting of a chart on Statewide opinion polling for the 2020 United States presidential election by adding a data point for North Carolina without adding a corresponding date on the x-axis. I am unsure of what your intent was, so your assistance in fixing this is appreciated. --Spiffy sperry (talk) 15:24, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

August 2020[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2020 United States presidential election in Georgia; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. I previously reverted your addition of Jorgensen to the infobox: [1]. You just added her again without leaving an edit summary. Please read WP:BRD and don't restore your changes after they're reverted. — Tartan357 ^(Talk) 09:03, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

September 2020[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at 2020 United States presidential election in Georgia, you may be blocked from editing. You've now added Jorgensen three times despite my warnings. The consensus is not to include her as Gary Johnson got <5% of the vote in 2016: Talk:2020 United States presidential election/Archive 12#Individual state pages. You are also still not using edit summaries for any of your edits, and have not responded to any of these warnings so far. — Tartan357 ^(Talk) 23:19, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to 2020 United States presidential election in North Carolina. Andrew nyr (talk, contribs) 19:30, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

October 2020[edit]

Hello, I'm Nkon21. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Wake County, North Carolina, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 21:02, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
