Userboxes
Hi Mpen320. The boxes you can put on your user page are simply called userboxes. That link should tell you how to get them. It is as simple as adding something like. Formatting can be a bit trickier but there are pages to guide you through that. There are pages upon pages of userboxes you can add, linked by category. If you need more help just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck! –CWenger (talk) 12:25, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

An apology
I just wanted to say that, though my edits (and indeed my edit summaries) might not give that impression, I really do appreciate your contributions to United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois, 2012. Looking back, it probably wasn't necessary to get rid of all your content and try to write it from scratch. Just so people in future don't make the same mistake I did there, you might want to take a look at Verifiability and Citing sources&mdash;when you're in a hurry they're easy to forget, but references are pretty much always necessary and also massively useful in helping other editors determine whether what you've written is actually correct. Again, thanks for your contributions and don't be disheartened by my overzealous editing earlier. – hysteria18 (talk) 00:55, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Source information needed for File:Cullerton.jpg
Hello, !

It was really helpful of you to upload File:Cullerton.jpg. However, in order to keep and use new images, we need to know their original source.

If you can edit the description page and add this information, that would be great. If you're not sure how or need help, please ask at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

Thanks again! --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:05, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Cullerton.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Cullerton.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 07:27, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

 * WP:Userboxes for your user page

Tom Cullerton
You don't need most of the advice I was going to give based on your first version (make it less promotional, don't call him "President" Cullerton). I would suggest leaving out the voting statistics for the "Village president" election - it seems a bit trivial, now that he is in the State Senate. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 23:34, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Images
Image use policy is the starting point. Image copyright is a problem: almost any photo is copyright to someone, usually the photographer, or someone he assigned it to if it was published.

There is an organization, Wikimedia Commons, separate from Wikipedia, which stores images for use in any Wikimedia project, but their images must be genuinely free for anyone to use for any purpose including commercial - licenses like CC-BY-NC with a "no commercial use" restriction are unacceptable.

You may well find the Illinois Senators' office prepared to give you pictures, but if they are to be accepted they would have to be free of any restriction such as "Wikipedia-only" or "No commercial use" - this last is usually the sticking point.

The Commons Upload Wizard gives you an outline, and there is a link at the bottom to their Help desk which could give you more advice about what sort of permission you would need to get from the Senators' offices and how to verify it.

Wikipedia is prepared to use non-free images under very carefully restricted circumstances - they have to satisfy all ten of the conditions at WP:NFCC. This is mainly useful for things like logos and book or album covers. Unfortunately it is no use for living people, because they fail WP:NFCC: "no free equivalent is available, or could be created" - it is always possible to go and take a free photo.

Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:01, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Emanuel Chris Welch
Hi - just a reminder to return to Emanuel Chris Welch to fix it up - it was clearly a copy-and-paste from the article about Rep. Thaddeus Jones. I made a couple of easy corrections but there's more to do. Cheers,  PK T (alk)  11:54, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Copy-and-paste is certainly allowed - it was just that when I encountered the article, it was talking about a different person than its title, and you had moved on to work on other articles.  PK  T (alk)  12:12, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Senator Manar.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Senator Manar.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:05, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Senator Manar.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Senator Manar.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 13:21, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Senator Manar.JPG)
Thanks for uploading File:Senator Manar.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:23, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

We use these at the state level. If an old-version code is being used, please fix it rather than deleting it. Also, ILGA still has a problem of making it eay to find a legislator's previous sessions.

WP Manual of Style
Please read Manual of Style/Biographies, as some of your edits are in conflict. For example, we use the person's full name, including nickname, to begin the first sentence. This is almost always different from the person's "commonly known as" name which is used for the title of an article, with disambiguation added as needed. It's supposed to be different, as one is used for searching and one is used for completeness.

There's also Manual of Style/Capital_letters and Manual of Style/Abbreviations regarding your creation of section titles.

In general, it's a good idea to find a good, current article which is similar to what you're working on, and follow its formatting. Our work is based on consensus, particularly on similar articles such as legislators, as it improves the user experience. Please fix your errors, as no volunteer has the time or inclination to clean up after you. 184.78.81.245 (talk) 16:33, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

I have no real opinion about what the best outcome is, but A7 deletions are only for cases where's the no indication of why someone might plausibly believe the person could meet WP:N; in this case, both being an alderman and being a republican candidate for (whatever) are both reasons to believe there may be sufficient sources out there to meet WP:N. I didn't say the article should ultimately stay, only that it doesn't qualify for A7 speedy deletion. You can certainly consider AFD, PROD, or Boldly merging, if you feel it's appropriate. I haven't spent time any significant time looking for sources, so I can't make any recommendations. Wily D 09:57, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

New Hampshire Libertarians
Hi Mpen320, hope you're well. I noticed that you added the articles Don Gorman, Finlay Rothhaus, Calvin Warburton, Ken Fanning and Andy Borsa to the Members of the Libertarian Party category. My interpretation of the guideline on subcategorisation suggests to me they needn't be in that category, as they're in the subcategories for Libertarians from their respective states (New Hampshire Libertarians for Gorman, Rothhaus, Warburton and Borsa, and Alaska Libertarians for Fanning), which are in the parent category Libertarian Party (United States) politicians, which is in turn a subcategory of the "Members of the Libertarian Party" category. Per the guideline, "an article should be categorised as low down in the category hierarchy as possible, without duplication in parent categories above it." The guideline provides for exceptions, which I don't fully understand, but I don't think this would constitute such an exception.

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Special districts in Illinois. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:55, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Illinois local government
Hi-I notice your edits about Illinois counties; county board of commissioners being different from county boards, etc. Is it possible about starting an article about Illinois local government? Many thanks-RFD (talk) 17:36, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The local government article for Illinois is Administrative divisions of Illinois. I do believe an expansion is in order and I am open to helping. For example, I already created Special districts in Illinois, but that's largely taken verbatim from the 2012 United States Census of Governments. In Illinois our high number of local governments is a political issue. A lot of information is from sources I would consider bias (e.g. Illinois Policy Institute). This is going to make finding information about Illinois government a bit more work intensive than my edits and article creations for Illinois General Assembly members, which between the Blue Book, resolutions and pages 1-2 of Google results are fairly easy to crank out. Does that help at all? -Mpen320 (talk) 13:10, 19 July 2017 (CT)

Questions about endorsement boxes
I have questions about Template:Endorsement boxes Mpen320 (talk) 15:56, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Does Wikipedia have a set criteria for who can and cannot be included in endorsement boxes?
 * What constitutes an endorsement? I have seen campaign contributions constituted as endorsements. I disagree with this, but if it does then
 * Is there a such thing as a limited notability figure? This would be an otherwise not notable individual whose endorsement is worth mentioning because they are in a position of importance in an election (e.g. a county party chair endorsing in a primary election).
 * Are there any other questions I should have asked, but did not?


 * I assume you mean Template:Endorsements box.
 * I don't think Wikipedia has set criteria beyond the general ones - verifiability and avoiding undue weight.
 * If reliable sources call it an endorsement, it is. If no reliable source calls it an endorsement, neither should we.
 * If no independent reliable sources report on an endorsement, the endorsement is too insignificant and shouldn't be added to the box. There may be more strict criteria for high-profile elections where candidates receive lots of endorsements. If the mayor of one or another of the Fayettevilles endorses a presidential candidate and the local paper reports on it, that does constitute coverage in a reliable independent source, but may still be held to be too insignificant.
 * If in doubt, the inclusion criteria should be discussed on the relevant article's talk page. A relevant WikiProject such as WikiProject Elections and Referendums may have further advice. Huon (talk) 17:36, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Illinois House of Representatives elections, 2018, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Willowbrook, Illinois ([//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Illinois_House_of_Representatives_elections%2C_2018 check to confirm] | [//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Illinois_House_of_Representatives_elections%2C_2018?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). 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.

Nomination of Bob O'Dekirk for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bob O'Dekirk is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Bob O'Dekirk until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. GetSomeUtah (talk) 14:34, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

IL Gov Race
According to what is Capitol Fax a reliable polling site. Regardless of such credentials as a news site, there needs to be a detailed methodological report in order for a poll to be considered valid, if you show me such then I will second your statement. Allinallisallweallare (talk) 21:41, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I find it weird the only poll you only have an issue is the poll that has Kennedy losing to Pritzker, yet seem to have no qualms with the one of the Republican primary. You made no other effort to delete the other We Ask America poll. Nor have you expressed any other issues with Kennedy's internal polling. Your only edits so far have been this article and Chris Kennedy's article. This is not a forum for you to campaign for Chris Kennedy. Please cease these nonconstructive edits.--Mpen320 (talk) 21:57, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Let's take those down too then. Allinallisallweallare (talk) 22:05, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Why? Explain to me how widely published journalist Rich Miller's commissioned poll on the Governor's race is not credible? Mpen320


 * Capitol Fax is a blog, it does not go through the same vetting process as a poll commissioned by a reputable news source would, we have no idea where this poll's intentions lie, nor do we know where the internally commissioned polls intentions lie. In addition, there is no credible report methodologically or otherwise to validate the Kennedy or the Capitol Fax polls.

Allinallisallweallare (talk) 22:15, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Rich Miller is a credible source and We Ask America is a legitimate polling firm. You haven't cited how it's not other than the vague reasoning that "it's a blog." We Ask America is used on United States Senate election in Illinois, 2014, Illinois gubernatorial election, 2010, and Illinois gubernatorial election, 2014. Survey Monkey polls are shown on United States Senate election in Illinois, 2016. If you would like to note these issues in the section(s) on polling that would be helpful, but the wholesale deletion of all the article's polling (a lot of content) requires consensus. I have moved this discussion to Talk:Illinois gubernatorial election, 2018 where we are working on consensus. I invite you to join us.--Mpen320 (talk) 22:19, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

I have repaired your cut-and-paste page move
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Robert F. Martwick Jr. a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Robert Martwick. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:23, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Washington Heights, Chicago
Dear Mpen320,

I was thinking of taking Washington Heights, Chicago to FAC sometime next week; I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at it beforehand and see if there are any improvements you can think of, or if you'd be willing to collaborate on it. (It's fine if you've never been there, neither have I.) Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks! – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 00:39, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Your work on this article (and all the Chicago articles) is incredible. I would definitely want to collaborate. I'll get back to you later on potential improvements.--Mpen320 (talk) 02:00, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Fantastic! I look forward to it. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:39, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * A mention of the Brainerd Bungalow Historic District and any facts from the NRHP submission. The information in there is likely within the article already, but it looks like it is worth a read.
 * A street map not unlike
 * An expanded section for government (though located in Chicago Public Schools might be filler that doesn't help FAC).
 * A housing section that could incorporate this Cityscape article
 * Many other Chicago articles include CTA Bus routes. Could that be added to the transportation section?
 * Thank you for your feedback. I've started a section on Brainerd that I'll expand later. I'll add the rest in the next upcoming days. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 06:51, 16 November 2019 (UTC)


 * I will nominate the article for FAC later tonight after I've finished it up. Would you like to be a co-nominator for it? – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 21:11, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I'll be nominating it in about half an hour and mentioning you in it if you don't mind. Thanks for your thoughts, and hopefully it will go well! :) – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:18, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Awesome. And in case anyone asks, I am absolutely in favor of FAC.

help with a mayor page
Hi! I was wondering if you could help me. I saw that you created the article about Ed Zabrocki, the Tinley Park mayor, a couple years ago. I was thinking of trying to get an article up about the Orland Park mayor, Keith Pekau. I drafted some text in my sandbox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MaxineJP/sandbox). You've been around here longer, so I was wondering if you would mind publishing it?--MaxineJP (talk) 18:35, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I appreciate you reaching out, but I have to decline to publish your draft article. It is well written, but I believe Wikipedia's notability guidelines for politicians would find that Keith Pekau would not meet the notability guidelines for a Wikipedia article (at least at this time). Ed Zabrocki qualified because of his time as a state legislator which per the guidelines gives automatic notability to the subject. There are some "purely local" Mayors who have Wikipedia articles, such as Robert L. Butler and Donald Stephens, but their notability comes from having unusually long times in office (over fifty years). If by chance you are affiliated with his campaign, I will also note that an article about a person is not inherently helpful to the person and may even be a net negative for Keith Pekau's campaign. For example, Bruce Rauner who supported Pekau's first campaign is still pretty unpopular in the state. An article with that information could turn off some voters to Pekau's candidacy. A good essay about this written by User:Sebwite is here.--Mpen320 (talk) 19:20, 28 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Okay, I understand. Thank you for taking the time to explain. If Keith wins the election, I'll circle back on this. Thanks! --MaxineJP (talk) 16:59, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

James Reilly article
As you created this article, I thought you'd be the best person to ask. In the Government career and appointments section, there is a sentence which starts "Reilly left to fun the MPEA". Should that be "fund" or "found"? Editrite! (talk) 08:12, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Please let me know if you think "established" clears it up. He was the first executive director.--Mpen320 (talk) 02:13, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Candidate articles
I think the issue is that candidates aren't always actually writing the articles themselves — sometimes it is the candidate or their campaign staff, but sometimes it's just an unaffiliated editor who genuinely (but wrongly) thinks candidates are supposed to have articles. So people may think "that essay doesn't apply to me, because I'm not the person the article is about". Bearcat (talk) 13:46, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Invitation

 * Hello, we need experienced volunteers.
 * New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
 * Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines ; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
 * Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
 * If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
 * If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
 * Cheers, and hope to see you around.
