The article

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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.

I've been trying to find this discussion that supposedly ended in a consensus to delete lead images & infoboxes from the Republican & Democratic vice presidential candidate selection pages. But, I couldn't find any. Therefore, I've restored the images. GoodDay (talk) 04:07, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:1988 DNC Photo for Dukakis.png

Thank you for uploading File:1988 DNC Photo for Dukakis.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the

I don’t understand why Vivek Ramaswamy isn’t considered a major candidate when he meets the stated threshold of receiving substantial media coverage. He announced on Tucker Carlson Tonight which is the highest rated cable news show in the country, with his announcement being covered by literally every single major media outlet including CNN, WaPo, NYT, WSJ, Bloomberg, Axios, and a Fox News article declaring him the third major candidate in the GOP primary. I’m not a supporter of Vivek nor am I even close to being a Republican but as a political junkie it’s obvious that Vivek is a major candidate and not labeling him as such until he’s included in five national polls is just a silly moving of the goalpost. It’s especially silly when you realize you’re setting a higher bar for legitimacy than the Republican Party who nominated someone whose only “experience” for the presidency was in the private sector and on the NBC Tuesday night primetime block. I hope you and the Barons of Wikipedia reconsider just for the sake of my OCD. 🙏 2601:18D:C180:7D20:AD37:7D7A:12FD:3760 (talk) 06:17, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thank you for your reply. HistorianL (talk) 18:10, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source for this? The linked source specifically says, Castle resigned at midnight yesterday (so, Jan 3), and notes at the end that the state was "without a governor" for 14 hours, not 4 days. I don't want to just revert out of hand but we need a source; it's entirely possible the one I got is wrong. Thanks. --Golbez (talk) 03:31, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have found a source from Wolf's Wikipedia page that backs up the claim that Castle resigned on December 31st 1992

Dale Wolf, Delaware's 3-week governor, dies at 96 (delawareonline.com) "He assumed the governorship in 1992 when Castle stepped down after being elected to Congress" HistorianL (talk) 03:52, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a source for this, it doesn't say Castle resigned on December 31, 1992. Furthermore, it contradicts the edit you made, since you (correctly) pointed out that Wolf wasn't sworn in in 1992. --Golbez (talk) 04:48, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

These images should've be agreed by community Hafizh Iskandar (talk) 11:19, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop capitalizing "Official portrait", and don't add {{circa}} to known specific dates. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:00, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also don't call something an official portrait unless you can show that it was, in fact, an official portrait. Wehwalt (talk) 02:07, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, by this logic, does that mean it was correct to add {{circa}} to Henry A. Wallace since the photo is presumed to be taken during his presidency, but there is no official date for the photograph, hence it being released {{circa}} the 1940s. (Not trying to be rude by any means; just trying to clarify what you mean by this.) ~ HistorianL (talk) 02:10, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That caption already included a {{circa}} before your edits identifying that the image was believed to date to sometime in his vice presidency. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:13, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I came here to inform you that you were incorrect. I know it was a year ago since it happened but here is the thing, Kentucky does not use EST, it uses CST as it's time zone. I think you got EST from CNN or other news article. But please do not do this again while I am editing the time zone to be the correct CST, especially when I am editing on future Kentucky elections.

I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to 2008 Republican Party vice presidential candidate selection have been undone because they did not appear constructive.

As I explained in the last edit I made to the article - I am not a mind reader. If you're going to remove a ref from the article - which is what was done, and it destabilized the ref code that existed - then you need to say why, please. Many will assume, as I did, that simply removing a reference is vandalism. So please make a note when you make your edit of why you're making a change.

Thank you. OIM20 (talk) 04:17, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
