Otto Lee
I was intending to return to the page and properly reference the biographical stuff at the start; I think the lack of references there make the paragraph I added stand out, plus the lack of dates (which is odd; I think the years he served as mayor should at least be in there).

Frankly I was surprised to see he had a page; I gathered he did when I saw mention of pre-election edit-warring on his and the other guy's pages at ANI. I'm not sure he's notable enough, but reckoned that since he had one, it should be up to date and encyclopedic (dates, refs) and then the community could better decide whether it merits keeping. I noted that the reason the candidacy paragraph was deleted was lack of info on the election results, so. . . put in what I had that I had thought of adding, and started fixing the references problem while I was at it.

With regards to comparables, I recently edited Jesse Johnson (politician), the page of a perennial candidate who never wins. Someone whose blog I read had enthused about him and I'd never heard of him, so I looked him up; it was after the election but nobody had updated the entry to reflect that or removed the election tag, so I looked up the result and did. His entry has percentages, so I gave them for '08. I daresay it varies and the best solution for Otto Lee might be to fill out his entry with more info about the rest of his career, unless of course it gets deleted.Yngvadottir (talk) 20:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

100k CA city template
Is it O.K. now?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 19:32, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That should be fixed by these edits. There seems to be some sort of purging problem that I do not understand.  You may want to check with the help desk as to why the edits are not appearing.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 22:27, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * At Template:CA cities and mayors of 100,000 population it appears to be fine. I am not sure why the old version continues to transclude to the page you point to.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 22:29, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I have been having problems like this a lot lately. Take it to the help desk and see if we can get some answers.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 22:41, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping an eye on the article. In my opinion, if an anonymous editor repeatedly inserts information which is not verifiable to reliable sources and which fails WP:NPOV, he should simply be reverted without question. There shouldn't be any problem with WP:3RR or other such policies. Lap Tang's ethnicity certainly wasn't mentioned in the sources cited. Even after searching the internet for other sources, all I can really tell is that he has connections to both the Vietnamese and Chinese communities (e.g. a long time ago he ran a firm which dubbed Chinese TV shows into Vietnamese ), which might make him a Hoa (ethnic Chinese in Vietnam), a guy with both Chinese and Vietnamese ancestry, or any number of other possibilities.

Flag of Sunnyvale
Hello, On the Sunnyvale, California article, you pointed out to me that the picture of the city's flag is not current. I frequently edit the flags of cities of the United States article and was wondering if you have any information on the current flag or the previous flag(s) that could help contribute to that page?

Still around, I see
Good! I blew the dust off the Town Center article, and removed the infobox after my jaw dropped at the parking number. I suspect the editor combined information on CityLine with info on the mall. How does the article look to you now? I was surprised it hadn't been updated. And I hope you're staying healthy. Yngvadottir (talk) 10:37, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
