Disambiguation link notification for April 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marco Rubio presidential campaign, 2016, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scott Walker. 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.

Level of detail in the HRC main article
Hi. About this edit of yours, restoring "On April 9, 2015, it was widely reported that Clinton would announce her candidacy on April 12, followed by a campaign trip to Iowa and New Hampshire.[371][372]" to the HRC main article. With respect to including this three-day 'pre-announcement', consider the WP:10 year test that is part of WP:RECENTISM. Will anyone reading the general biography of Clinton ten years from now care that she pre-announced her campaign three days ahead of time? Doesn't seem likely. Do you know or care whether, say, John McCain pre-announced his campaign in 2007 in this fashion? Probably not. Now with the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016 article, that's a different story: those articles are intended for the reader interested in the day-to-day, ups-and-downs story of a presidential campaign, and there the details of a pre-announcement are useful. But not usually in the main article. Wasted Time R (talk) 20:22, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mike Huckabee presidential campaign, 2016
Hello, PrairieKid. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Mike Huckabee presidential campaign, 2016, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TheLongTone (talk) 11:54, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Query
how do you have an associates and a bachelors already? Just curious, thanks for your articles! - Ttoya (talk) 00:00, 19 April 2015‎ UTC
 * I don't have the bachelor's degree yet. I will start attending Gonzaga in the fall. As to the others, I skipped a grade early on in my education which allowed me to get ahead in high school. During my last two years of high school, I participated in a a dual enrollment program at Clark College where I am just about to finish my associates. I am going to have my AA and HS diplomas at the same time, just before turning 17. I've gotten pretty lucky with the way it has worked out for me. PrairieKid (talk) 16:23, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Governorship of Scott Walker


A tag has been placed on Governorship of Scott Walker, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

WikiCup 2015 May newsletter
The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on Corona Borealis and Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus. Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.
 * was one of several users who worked on improving Ulysses S. Grant. Remember, you do not need to work on an article on your own - as long as each person has completed significant work on the article during 2015, multiple competitors can claim the same article.
 * took Dragonfly to Good Article for a 3x bonus - and if that wasn't enough, they also took Damselfly there as well for a 2x bonus.
 * worked up Alexander Hamilton to Good Article for the maximum bonus. Hamilton was one of the founding fathers of the United States and is a level 4 vital article.

The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! , and  16:41, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Recent Edits to U.S. Presidential Elections

 * I had posted this in the WikiProject Talk previously, but given there was no response I'm personally messaging you and a couple other members for their own thoughts. More edits had been done as of yesterday without complaint, so I'm again seeking clairification. --Ariostos (talk) 16:41, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm just curious if the latest edits to the US Presidential Elections, principally by Ericl, are actual adopted policy by the Project membership; in simple terms it amounts to the removal of the candidate and balloting sections, to be replaced instead with the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates nominated (though Ericl's latest edit in 1856 neglect this), with the balloting for those offices being relegated to the Convention articles. The recent edits to the 1860 most exemplify this apparent "new direction". --Ariostos (talk) 15:32, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
