DC election results

You seem to be the one who added most of the election history for DC politicians, so I thought I'd let you know that Gogo Dodo wants to delete that section from the Carol Schwartz ↗ article, saying it's too much data and doesn't add to it. I tend to agree that the election results clutter the articles, but I think they are valuable, especially when some of the articles haven't progressed to the point of covering all the elections. I'm wondering whether they should be handled differently, maybe even in separate election articles, and probably with tables. —KCinDC (talk) 02:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

I appreciate very much the details you have added to Nevertheless, she persisted ↗. Thanks for correcting the copy and making the account on the Senate floor more accurate—details matter, and your contributions make the article better. Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 18:09, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Coordinates

I've just had to correct the coordinates you inserted into two articles (and I only looked at those two articles). In both cases they missed the target, and were not formatted according to the guidance at WP:OPCOORD ↗. Anyway, please take a look at WP:OPCOORD and my edits to National Association of Student Personnel Administrators ↗ and Ben's Kosher Deli ↗ '''Abductive''' (reasoning) 15:14, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
: @Abductive: Thanks for the corrections. I was not aware of WP:OPCOORD ↗. ~ Quacks Like a Duck (talk) 17:30, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

Still need help with ADP article

This is Justin from ADP again. I reached out here a few months ago requesting help with updating the ADP article. It looks like my post may have been deleted. Regardless, I still need help and I'm hoping you can take a look at the updates I've suggested on the article Talk page ↗. Many of the article's current claims are not supported by citations so it's not clear if that information is correct. There's also a lot of duplicative material about acquisitions. These are all issues I've tried to address. Justin at ADP (talk) 11:53, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
: Justin at ADP: I don't have the time right now to do so. Perhaps another Wikipedia editor will do so instead.

Internal Revenue Code section 1 ↗

Any nudge in the way of finding sources for Internal Revenue Code section 1 ↗, the section that imposes the individual income tax itself, would be appreciated! '''''BD2412''''' '''T''' 20:35, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
