Thanks for that guidance. Appreciate the welcome. All data was taken from the Washington State Senate Republican Website. How do I use references? BentFrd8 (talk) 21:03, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

 * I've updated the article to reflect Boehnke's new status as a state senator, but the rest of the copy taken from Boehnke's own website cannot be used as it is under a copyright. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:39, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * No, but thanks for the response. Thought this would be easier to support an update for our community. Guess not.  Tried and failed due to your lack of clarify within your response as to why this is so hard.  Thought this might actually be a good source to reference and help our country get back to true journalism again.
 * Have a great day, I promise you will not hear from me every again.  BentFrd8 (talk) 18:39, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Delete account
Due to the latest information on your regulations, I want to delete this account and ensure/confirm this will be deleted within 24/48hrs per your other regulations. Since this is a confusing process, ie. I can’t find the delete button, can you delete it or show me how to delete this account?

Have a great day! Long Life Journalism. BentFrd8 (talk) 18:44, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Accounts at Wikipedia cannot be deleted. You are free to choose to stop editing, but for attribution purposes required by the CC BY-SA 3.0 licensing, Wikipedia must retain the account so that the edits you made can be properly attributed. But, on the other hand, you could stay and try to improve the project. Your edits at Matt Behnke were reverted because they were a copyright violation, copied directly from his Senate bio page. That's a common mistake among new users, and while it can be frustrating, it's easily avoided in the future. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 00:53, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
