February 2018
Hello, I'm Marquardtika. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Evan Jenkins (politician), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

United States Senate elections, 2016
I meant to leave an edit summary. Please see the article's talk page. The 2017 Alabama special election is not part of the 2016 Senate elections. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:46, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

If you're going to update the date of the ratings in Congressional races, then please update the "access-date" in the citation. Thanks. —GoldRingChip 14:41, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Gubernatorial elections
Hi,

Generally, a candidate or party needs 5% of the vote to get its own section. However, I compromised with you and put a note on each page from 2015-17 saying that one seat was independent. Please, let’s keep these articles up to standard. I understand it when there’s a seat change; otherwise, a note is fine. Smith0124 (talk) 01:52, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Edit-warring on 2018 United States Senate elections
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly..

Dispute resolution - Libertarian Party in infobox
Hi there - hope you are well - we discussed removing the reference to seats needed on the talk page and it received agreement from the parties involved - obviously we share different opinions on this given recent comments so I'm going to open a dispute resolution to request a third party opinion Guyb123321 (talk) 12:57, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Did you know that
in 2010, a Senate special election was held in Illinois to fill Obama's vacated seat, concurrently with the regular election to the same seat? This is regarding your edit on this page a week ago. I thought you might be interested in knowing this obscure fact… your contributions history shows me that you seem interested in politics & elections :) –Aaronw1109 (talk) (contribs)  22:38, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

2020 United States House of Representatives elections
Hi, please try to be collaborative with regards to your edits to the infobox of 2020 United States House of Representatives elections. Please don't just revert my edits without establishing a consensus. I made an effort on the talk page but you ignored me.  dummelaksen   (talk • contribs) 20:08, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
