If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the '''guide for citing sources ↗''' or come to the '''new contributors' help page ↗''', where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion of "Mikey Butders"


48px|left|alt=|link= ↗ A page you created, :Mikey Butders ↗, has been tagged for deletion ↗, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable ↗, and the guidelines for biographies ↗ in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies ↗ and any applicable inclusion guidelines ↗. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing ↗ and guide to writing your first article ↗.

Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion ↗ of clear-cut vandalism ↗ and test edits may be labeled "minor".

SurveyMonkey polls



Please read Talk:Statewide opinion polling for the United States presidential election, 2016#New poll dump ↗ we have decided not to include these polls. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:01, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

:The Morning Consult were also decided to not be included, pretty much anything that has been done on all 50 states. The reasoning behind this is that we don't have a count on how many were polled for x poll nor do we have a margin of error. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:01, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2020#National polling ↗



In regard to this edit ↗, other similar polling tables have used the "Other" column to refer to specific candidates who do not have columns of their own. See, for example, Nationwide opinion polling for the Democratic Party 2016 presidential primaries#Polls conducted in 2014 ↗. In fact, I think we should use the "Other" column more, to avoid having to dedicate columns to candidates who have been listed in only one or two polls. In any event, the other candidates who don't currently have columns including John Kenny, Beto O'Rourke, and others garnered a total of 12% in the poll, so that does imply that the collective "Other" should be listed with more than 2%. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:01, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

American Politics editing



{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. ''It does '''not''' imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.''

You have recently shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions ↗ is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions ↗ on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies ↗, or any page-specific restrictions ↗, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions ↗ and the Arbitration Committee's ↗ decision here ↗. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
