Hello, I'm DocFreeman24. I noticed that you recently removed content from Elections in Georgia (U.S. state) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hey friend, I am very new to Wikipedia editing. I noticed that Vote.org is leaving links to their content all over Wikepedia, likely as part of some inbound link strategy. This was originally happening under the now-blocked username "VoteDotOrg." The same username edited the Vote.org page to remove information about a 2019 scandal, but is still citing the press coverage as reference data. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a PR channel, so I removed some of their links. But I might have accidentally removed something else. I"m still learning. Hopefully I responded correctly to your message 98.234.234.226 (talk) 02:18, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi there! Thanks for explaining your edit as it is helpful!  I'm going to add a welcome message to your page after this and I hope you will keep contributing to Wikipedia as we need all the editors we can get! DocFreeman24 (talk) 04:45, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Doc, I do plan to stick around. Question for you: how do i revert the Vote.org page back to what it was a few months ago? It was longer, well researched and footnoted, and included links to several reputable sources. Now that I"m down this rabbithole, I figure I should solve the original problem. 98.234.234.226 (talk) 03:04, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
