Macron's photograph
Hi. You added File:EMMANUEL-MACRON-PORTRAIT-OFFICIAL.jpg on Commons and included it in Macron's article, but it is extremely dubious that the official photograph is under a Commons-compatible license. See Copyrights for more information about image reuse on Wikipedia in general, and see the discussion (in French) on fr-wp regarding obtaining the rights for that photograph.

July 2017
Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Jasti Chelameswar, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 08:10, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Change needed
Please change your recent addition to the infobox at the Ed Murray article to read 5 pm PDT to match the article but also because Murray is in Seattle, Washington and not on the east coast. Thanks.  -- ψ λ  ●  ✉  22:25, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Tom Marino, you may be blocked from editing. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 22:48, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello. You reverted an edit I made to a page on Tom Marino. If you were to click on the link for Richard Baum labeled "succeeding" in Marino's infobox, the link will take you to a different Richard Baum, a man who has been dead since 2012. I changed the link to the correct Richard Baum, but the edit was nonetheless reverted. Please let me know if I made a mistake, and if the incumbent ONDCP Director is a man who has been dead for 5 years. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samtondiaz (talk • contribs) 19:00, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * While you are correct that the link was pointing to the wrong "Richard Baum", the "Rich Baum" you linked to is also not the right person. This portrays the correct guy. This is the guy you linked to. The two had entirely different careers. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 23:20, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

"how infoboxes are always done"
This is illogical. I've presented links from WP:MOS showing that the way the page is after you reverted by edit is not correct. Infobox font is already smaller than 100%; the use of small on text already smaller than 100% is inappropriate. Also, unmentioned in my edit summary, references do not belong in an infobox. Just because we as editors have done something incorrectly in the past is not a reason to continue to do it incorrectly in the present.

So as not to edit war any further than I already have, I ask you to please self-revert. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:47, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. We should probably talk this out on Talk:Mike Pompeo. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:58, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Gina Haspel
Hi Samtondiaz Gina Haspel was confirmed but not Sworn in yet. If you put TBD first that would be ok. Afther they get confirmed and then they take there Olth of Office. And then you can call them Secutary or Dircter. And Sarry about my spelling I have ADHD. Thanks.96.36.68.29 (talk) 20:46, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

If you have a Sorce that she is haveing her Swearing in tonight we can put it on tonight. But she might be haveing it tomrrow. You do know what I am saying right?96.36.68.29 (talk) 21:44, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Samtondiaz can you please respond?96.36.68.29 (talk) 19:42, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I understand your concerns about making sure information on term start dates of government officials are accurate. As it relates to Ms. Haspel, she served as Acting CIA Director for a little under a month before being confirmed by the Senate, meaning her term start date would have been April 26th of this year, not May 17th, the day she was confirmed. As it relates to the issue of swearing-in, Haspel was already in office, meaning she had already taken the oath of office upon Mike Pompeo's departure from the CIA-- the Senate confirmation only signals the fact that she could permanently continue serving in the position--she had already been sworn in. The ceremony performed by the Vice President is only ceremonial. It does not, and should not signal the date upon which a person assumes the duties of their office. --Samtondiaz (talk) 23:44, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ronald Gidwitz


The article Ronald Gidwitz has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lemonpasta (talk • contribs) 22:16, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 1
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Nelson Chamisa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Movement for Democratic Change ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Nelson_Chamisa check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Nelson_Chamisa?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:24, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Not a thing...
Hey, please review Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy and stop being so bureacratically correct at Imran Khan. Encyclopedia's purpose is to convey information to the reader, it does not matter which parameter you are using. The word "office" for office parameter is not visible so it is perfectly okay to add "Candidate for the Prime Minister of Pakistan", it serves to convey the information to the reader so please do not remove that again.

List of acts of the 116th United States Congress moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, List of acts of the 116th United States Congress, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

James McPherson
Hello, Smatondiaz! I see that you have added to two articles the information that James McPherson has been named acting Secretary of the Navy. I have been looking for sources to add to the articles, but I can't find any reports of this. Can you tell me where you heard this or how you know, so I can add it to the article? Thanks. -- MelanieN (talk) 20:43, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
