2020 RFC on successors in officeholder infoboxes

Howdy. Why are you continuing to go against the 2020 RFC on infobox predecessors/successors ↗. PS I'm seeking further input from {{ping|Mandruss|Beeblebrox|Eccekevin|Khajidha|Jonesey95|Estar8806}} on this matter & what should be done. GoodDay (talk) 16:09, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
:Responding to ping. If someone refuses to abide by consensus after being made aware of it, "what should be done" is obvious. ANI is thataway. We don't need a consensus for a consensus. ―<b style="color:#775c57">''Mandruss''</b> <span style="color:#888">☎</span> 2¢ IMO. 20:23, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
::I can't provide feedback without diffs. I looked at a few of this editor's recent edits and did not find any edits to successor information in infoboxes. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:49, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Jonesey95}} - Here's 4 primary example pages - Phil Murphy ↗, Tahesha Way ↗, Glenn Youngkin ↗, Winsome Earle-Sears ↗. -- GoodDay (talk) 22:05, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
::::Those are links, not diffs. I did look at the history of one of the linked articles and noticed that neither editor in this dispute appears to be using edit summaries. I urge you both to abide by the RFC outcome and to use edit summaries per WP:FIES ↗ ({{tq| It is a good practice to provide a meaningful summary for every edit, especially when reverting (undoing) the actions of other editors or deleting existing text}}). – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:09, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
:::::I've used edit summaries in the past, but to no avail. I'm not certain if this topic falls under CTOP (as it's related to American politics), but I'm planning on looking into it. GoodDay (talk) 22:11, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Removal of signature from political BLP

Hi, I have reverted an edit ↗ several times on a political BLP. Can you check that out? An unregistered user continues to remove the signature. I am reaching out to you specifically because I sincerely respect your position in the community and you edit a ton of other political BLPs. Thanks! --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 15:08, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

You need to use more edit summaries far more often

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. I have noticed that you {{usertalk other|often ↗|often}} edit without using an edit summary ↗. Please do your best to {{strong|always fill in the summary field}}. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to set {{Preferences|Editing|Editor|check={{int:tog-forceeditsummary}}}}. Thanks! Less than 20% of your total edits using them so far is negligent at best. To be candid, you don't implement nearly enough edit summaries. <b style="color:#009900">SNUGGUMS</b> (<b style="color:#009900">talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b> ↗) 21:33, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

US Congress caucuses

Hi!

It looks like this is a topic of interest for you. Would you mind sharing the relevant pages on your watchlist? My goal is to eventually consolidate/centralize all the information needed for caucuses and committees to minimize the duplication of information and minimize the number of locations information needs to be updated. Ideally, most of these updates could then be automated by pulling from official government sources, which would result in reliably up-to-date info as widely distributed as possible on Wikipedia. Does this larger project sound like something you might be interested in collaborating on?

rationale related to your edits on Bill Pulte ↗

Hi, I just wanted to write to urge you to be a bit more chill in your reasoning for things, as that will have a higher chance of being listened to and respected by others, including me.

Saying things in your edit descriptions ↗ like {{tq|We shouldn't over-explain for the lowest level of critical thinking skills instead of having faith in a casual reader to use their brain}} are unnecessarily acerbic and dismissive.

Your most recent edit ↗ description also uses a poor analogy: {{tq|It's because it's an extremely known concept ... We don't need to link the words American ↗ and businessman ↗ in the first sentence because everyone knows what it means. He is the acting director. Everyone at the high school level up should be able to grasp that.}}

You apparently believe that all readers of this article are extremely familiar with the American political process, but guess what? Wikipedia has a global ↗ audience. This has nothing to do with the intelligence of readers, and I also doubt that the average high school kid would actually know that someone in a temporarily appointed "acting" position can serve for up to 210 days, thus needing official Senate confirmation after that period. Nothing in the article explicitly states that it is a temporary appointment, and it's truly baffling that you are wanting to suppress relevant and informative details.

You are making HUGE assumptions, and honestly, it's confusing why you even have such a strong opinion on it at all, because I considered that a constructive edit made in good faith. But you just went ballistic and assumed the worst in all sorts of ways. Again, I'd urge the use of more diplomatic language with fellow editors, because we are all here for the same reason, which is to build a high-quality encyclopedia for the world community. Cheers mate. ~2026-30415-19 ↗ (talk) 02:17, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
