Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited White House Deputy Chief of Staff, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bruce Reed. 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.)

2022 Elections Task Force

edit

Hi EJSpaich,

I'm looking at starting a task force of Wikipedia editors to work on the pages of candidates up for election in 2022. Many congressional member pages have very few votes or political positions (for example, compare Michelle Steel and Steve Chabot against Nicole Malliotakis), and so I think it would be a great resource for us to flesh out a lot of these pages ahead of the election to better support people who come to Wikipedia for information before they vote.

I see you've been active on a couple of congressperson pages recently so thought you might be interested. If you are, please message me on my talk page. Once I have a couple of interested editors I will work on building a task force page so we can coordinate our work. No worries at all if you're not interested or too busy. Thanks for everything you do for the Wikipedia communtiy!

Patty Murray's infobox

Howdy. We don't do incoming officials 'new' titles this way anymore. GoodDay (talk) 01:14, 9 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Okay; her current position of Senate Democratic Assistant Leader is being abolished. The Dems announced their leadership team for the 118th Congress today (12/8/22) that position was not filled and in one article I read they mentioned how Debbie Stabenow was moving up to the No. 3 spot and Amy Klobuchar to the No. 4 spot. I think I read in another article that it was being abolished. Originally the position was only created to prevent a battle between Dick Durbin & herself for Party Whip.
