Edit on US presidential election, 2016 article
I was just wondering if you intended to remove Luis Gutierrez with this edit] to United States presidential election, 2016. I figured that was accidental since 3 candidates were removed, and you said "both" in the edit summary. Also because you didn't make the corresponding move on Democratic Party presidential candidates, 2016 with Gutierrez as you did with the other 2 that you removed. Plus, the source on him is still within the (apparently) required 6-month range. Presuming the removal to be accidental, I added him back in. If you did have an actual reason for removing him, it would be helpful if you would clarify what it was. Thanks.--Kal Hamner (talk) 23:29, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

You're right about the removal being an accident. I only meant to remove Dean and Manchin, as they had expired references, I was unaware that Gutierraz was also removed in the process. Thank you for catching the mistake and fixing it.--BobfromtheBeltway (talk) 04:06, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Xennials vandalism?
Hi, I noticed your edits to Xennials. . I assume that last line is vandalism...I even Googled the quote to see if any known person said that, but there were no results. --Kolya Butternut (talk) 22:25, 8 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, I believe you were right to remove that statement altogether. I almost did, but instead tagged it on the off-chance that someone might actually have a citation. On second look, however, it does seem to be just a trollish comment.--Bob from the Beltway (talk) 19:54, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
