Article space
Perhaps you could move these to either a "Notes", "References", or "External links" section on the article page, using cite web or cite book?—GoldRingChip 12:27, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I might do it when I have time. In the meantime, I am adding knowledge and facts to this page, and all you are doing is adding red links and circular redirects. Perhaps you might add something worthwhile? Marplesmustgo (talk) 20:24, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Contributions
If it is not already obvious, I have contributed to this talk page in my own name and also through the IP addresses 31.221.118.100 92.1.71.182 and 88.104.148.211 to create the best resource I can on this election. Up against us we have old ColdRinc adding nothing but irrelevant boxes and links leading to nowhere. This should be swept away until anyone has the time to add them - not that ColdRinc has any original research to add. Marplesmustgo (talk) 20:31, 21 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your contributions to this fantastic article. I am glad you are now contributing through an account instead of anonymous IPs.  Keep up the good work!—GoldRingChip 02:56, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
