Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bernie Sanders, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Hill. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

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.

Feelin' the...
So good to see you back! Both articles are in need of some TLC. Gandydancer (talk) 19:53, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Happy to help! I've noticed that there is a lot of information that has been added when it was news and that the organization of information often seems kind of random.  Which articles do you mean, specifically?  Presidential campaign?  Political positions?  Which sections would you say need the most work?  HappyWanderer15 (talk) 20:06, 27 July 2016 (UTC)


 * The Bernie campaign article mostly right now. I have only a few minutes a day and have been able to do only very little.  I have felt blessed in that there has been a good bunch of editors that have made our job easy and fun. On the other hand, there has been hardly any help at all when it comes to getting new info into the article. Missing right now is the incredible history that we have watched happen.  He and his workers did something that no one believed possible.  We need info on that and the progressive agenda that he has forced.  Perhaps something on the why and how of his willingness and ability to support Clinton at (IMO) just the right moment--not too soon, not too late, but just right...   Perhaps a para on the email leaks...maybe.  Go ahead and do as you see fit.  I'll scream to high heaven on the talk page if I don't like something. :)  Gandydancer (talk) 00:25, 28 July 2016 (UTC)


 * OK, I'll make it a point to get everything up to date and succinct. I also admire the way he has endorsed Clinton.  Those who are seeing it as a capitulation don't understand his brand of incrementalism.  He'll be all over the country making progressive campaign promises on her behalf until November.  It will be interesting to see how that turns out when it's time to govern.  HappyWanderer15 (talk) 22:52, 28 July 2016 (UTC)


 * ...again, I wish I had time right now but I don't. In time I hope to see the article improved...even mainstream media is noting the historical significance of his ability to fund his campaign from small doners/  Chuck Todd noted that we will never know if he might have fared differently if the DNC had not worked against him.  Other stuff in recap...  For now, Gandy Gandydancer (talk) 01:06, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Famousbirthdays.com as a source
Hi HappyWanderer15. I noticed that you recently used famousbirthdays.com as a source for information in a biography article, Daniele Bolelli. Please note that there is general consensus that famousbirthdays.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. (See Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153). If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 17:35, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Fair enough. I didn’t think it was a great source either which is why I linked the second one that you left there as well. In the future I won’t use it even in tandem with others. Thanks for letting me know of the discussion that has taken place. HappyWanderer15 (talk) 02:28, 7 July 2018 (UTC) HappyWanderer15 (talk) 02:28, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
