Your edits to Alaska state senator articles
Hi. It appears you may be a new user. I see you're making numerous edits which may be problematic. This happens every so often, but I really don't have time to change every article affected every time it comes up. In general, please read Template talk:Infobox officeholder for background, as well as consensus that existing practices have created a problem. The template has a parameter to accommodate a change in district designator without an accompanying change in constituency. This is explained in the template's documentation.

You appear to be wiping any mention of districts prior to the most recent redistricting. If I was strictly concerned with what legislators are currently doing, there's plenty of other places I can visit on the web to read their press releases and news stories. Unfortunately, while there exists ample explanation of what Wikipedia is not, there's nothing really explaining what an encyclopedia is not. I'll use Bert Stedman as an example. While it is correct that Stedman has represented District Q since last year, it's also noteworthy enough to be of encyclopedic value that Stedman spent nearly a decade as the senator representing District A, and that Governor Murkowski appointed him to the seat to replace Robin Taylor. Your edits appear to marginalize and/or misrepresent that. Stedman lives in Sitka, while Ton Wagoner lives in Kenai. Not only are they not part of the same constituency and never have been, there is substantial physical distance between the two places. Normally, I don't hear any sufficient justification other than this is how people are interpreting a certain source. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 03:01, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

The problem should be fixed now. Djm1087

File source problem with File:Senator Charlie Huggins.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Senator Charlie Huggins.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

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.

Survey Invite
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they effect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics. Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=5jRFD5Mzx9sHZLT_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_d0AOQIYZriwtux7&Q_CHL=gl I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations. Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 15:32, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
