Please also read the policy on Sources and Verifiability, and note that a radio show isn't necessarily a reliable source under the definition of that guideline. The next time you edit a page, please fill in the field Edit summary and give the source of the information you are adding, so that other editors can verify its legitimacy. Happy editing!

Hi. I see you have been recently updating the popular vote numbers on United States presidential election, 2008. Would you mind telling me where you are getting these popular vote numbers? I ask because the source listed on the article for the numbers shows different numbers than the ones you are providing, and I have to keep reverting your edits because your numbers are not backed up by a reliable source.

Unreferenced BLPs

  Hello Ajs41! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person.

In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 873 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Wasserman's numbers vs Wikipedia's numbers

edit

I compared Wasserman's numbers to Wikipedia's and found that the biggest discrepancies (not counting states where Wikipedia was more to date) are, in order of total vote difference: Mississippi (63,319), Ohio (22,827), Texas (20,649), Oregon (15,691), and Nebraska (14,552). All of these are states for which Wasserman has county-by-county data. Fourfourfive (talk) 07:08, 25 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I've just noticed the same thing. I started work on a Mississippi spreadsheet but I'm having trouble finding some of the county websites, so I'm going to start on Ohio now and leave MS for the moment. Ajs41 (talk) 03:37, 24 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Misssissippi county-by-county election totals

edit

All of Mississippi's county totals are accessible from http://www.sos.ms.gov/elections_results_2012_county.aspx. Fourfourfive (talk) 07:08, 25 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Actually it has all of the county totals except Hinds, because Hinds county election results are not finalized yet. Fourfourfive (talk) 07:08, 25 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
Wasserman has the final Obama/Romney numbers for every county except Hinds so he's using the AP/Politico data there. Fourfourfive (talk) 07:13, 25 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
I'm creating a spreadsheet with these results so you don't have to. Fourfourfive (talk) 07:56, 25 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've completed the spreadsheet [1]. Yazoo county results weren't listed on the MS site so I used politico data for that too. I also found an error in Wasserman's data: Sharkey county recorded 1782 votes for Obama, not 2782. Fourfourfive (talk) 08:41, 25 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

I found the Yazoo county election results although they aren't listed [2]. Fourfourfive (talk) 08:57, 25 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your work on those spreadsheets, I wasn't looking forward to having to do any more spreadsheets, much as I enjoyed doing the ones I've already done. Ajs41 (talk)

Your spreadsheet results

edit

Your source for Tooele County, Utah is a bit out of date. There are slightly more up to date results here. The total difference is only 637 votes, but you may want to update. Fourfourfive (talk) 06:19, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Wasserman may be using your spreadsheet results

edit

I know that shortly after I added my New York results by county spreadsheet to Wikipedia, Dave Wasserman copied my results to use in his vote tracker so it's likely that he has used some of your spreadsheets as well. Obviously, everything we add to Wikipedia is free to be used by anyone, but I just thought you would like to know that he's using the data we've collected. Fourfourfive (talk) 02:10, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

I updated a few counties for your Ohio spreadsheet

edit

I made a copy of your spreadsheet and updated the results in four counties here. The counties that I updated are in red text. Fourfourfive (talk) 04:45, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Holland-on-Sea, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sade (check to confirm | 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.
