 * , I'm going to direct you to this discussion on the Teahouse. – JocularJellyfish TalkContribs 22:23, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm well aware that it doesn't matter which one to use, but the fact that you remove them is kind of ridiculous when it has no effect on the format. Corky Buzz by the Hornet's Nest   03:45, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Al Franken
Please do not change articles regarding the junior Senator from Minnesota until there has actually been a change. Jonathunder (talk) 04:27, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Franken's resignation hasn't taken effect yet. He's still a US Senator. GoodDay (talk) 21:54, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Trent Franks
As of yesterday, he announced that his resignation would be effective January 31. Has he since made it effective immediately? JTRH (talk) 23:22, 8 December 2017 (UTC)


 * , Yes. See this link. – JocularJellyfish TalkContribs 23:25, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Aha. Sorry. I've been giving an exam for three hours and was behind on the news. My apologies. I'll check to see if any of my reverts need to be undone. JTRH (talk) 23:27, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * , don't worry about it. I only just found out as well. – JocularJellyfish TalkContribs 23:28, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Donald Trump judicial appointment controversies
I created Donald Trump judicial appointment controversies being as several of his nominees have been of contention, i.e. L. Steven Grasz, Amy Coney Barrett. And now with the withdraw requests of Brett Talley and Jeff Mateer--I think the article makes sense to create and maintain.

However, it has been nominated for deletion and I'd like your viewpoint on the matter. (See:Afd:Donald Trump judicial appointment controversies). Snickers2686 (talk) 18:01, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

Please refer to this comment before editing List of federal judges appointed by Donald Trump
I am passing this to several folks for their reference, so if you get this, you aren't the only one, Talk:List_of_federal_judges_appointed_by_Donald_Trump. Bottom line, nobody should be removing Judges from the list until the morning of January 4th, when the Congressional Record of January 3rd will be available, properly sourcing the anticipated edit.

 * thanks for the info. – JocularJellyfish TalkContribs 16:48, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Revert
You reverted, with no explanation other than the word better, a move I made on the Michelle Fischbach of some text from the Minnesota Constitution to a footnote and undid a technical fix I made to a ref name from a number. Perhaps you didn't intend to do those things. If you did, please provide a reason. Jonathunder (talk) 20:59, 28 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I reverted because the "personal life" section was now including footnotes, among which were the note you added and the references. I don't have an issue with your note, so I changed the formatting to make "notes" and "references" separate big-level sections. Please take a look at the article now to see if you approve of it. – JocularJellyfish TalkContribs 21:36, 28 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is better. Thank you for adding the missing "notes" header. Jonathunder (talk) 21:45, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
