Welcome!
Hello, The Independent Greek 100, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page List of Donald Trump presidential campaign endorsements, 2016, have removed content without an explanation. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly.

June 2016
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at List of Donald Trump presidential campaign endorsements, 2016‎. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 22:07, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

End of term dates for New York office holders
I noticed that you changed several end of term dates for governors and other New York officials from January 1 to December 31. I believe that January 1 is correct, based on the references I checked. If you concur, can you please revert your edits and not make any other changes?

References I checked included: Guide to U.S. Elections; The Tribune Almanac and Political Register; and Who Won What When.

On the contrary, Billmckern. As I understand it, the December 31 dates are correct. The changing of the officials in New York, occurs at mid-night New Years Day. GoodDay (talk) 18:54, 11 August 2016 (UTC)


 * -- Is there an authoritative source? I found several which indicate that terms end on December 31, and several which indicate that they end on January 1.  The state constitution says the political year begins on January 1, but does not say when it ends.

 * The terms begin at midnight on January 1, which means the previous term ends December 31. two terms can't overlap. GoodDay (talk) 20:35, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
