First, don't tell someone they have a "limited knowledge" of anything - you don't know what people know (also comes off like you're some kind of big shot expert talking down to a commoner...not cool).

Second, I was going by what the official White House cabinet site has listed, which is the Office of Science and Technology Director spot.

I'd almost be inclined to think - after reading both the WH site and the Science Policy site - that both spots are in the cabinet.

Biden splitting the jobs has thrown a monkey wrench into things, but there are legit sources that would indicate they should both be in there.

Hi, I thought I should probably explain a bit more about why I've taken to use the circa note for death announcements that don't explicitly include a date. I'd say a good portion of the time, it does turn out to be the date the announcement was made, but certainly not always.

A recent example that sticks out in my mind, because the date of death turned out to be somewhat disputed, was for Richard Shepherd: the original death announcement was made, without a date, on February 21, 2022, so I placed c. February 21 in the article until his obituaries began giving a date of February 19 (the dispute happened when another source gave a death date of February 1 before being corrected to the 19th as a typo). So I don't even like to err on the side of making that assumption, and I just read/source death announcements at face value.--Sunshineisles2 (talk) 18:09, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I want to confirm with you - as a person who studies state government machinery professionally - that Wisconsin's constitution requires the superintendent of public instruction be elected in the manner identical to judges, i.e., by way of a nonpartisan spring election. Wisconsin has elected judges through nonpartisan spring elections since its territorial days, and those practices remain enshrined in its 1848 constitution. The superintendent of public instruction was originally elected on a partisan ballot during the fall election like the other constitutional officers. However, a constitutional amendment was passed in 1902 than switched over to the judicial election methodology (see The Wisconsin Blue Book 1940, pg. 247). What follows are the relevant constitutional provisions:

Article X, Section 1 states, inter alia, "The state superintendent shall be chosen by the qualified electors of the state at the same time and in the same manner as members of the supreme court, and shall hold office for 4 years from the succeeding first Monday in July."

Article VII, Section 4, Subsection (1) also states, inter alia, "Justices shall be elected for 10-year terms of office commencing with the August 1 next succeeding the election."

Finally, Article VII, Section 9 includes the following language, inter alia, "There shall be no election for a justice or judge at the partisan general election for state or county officers, nor within 30 days either before or after such election." Mcvayn (talk) 11:24, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, I know what a nonpartisan election is. It doesn't mean the person doesn't belong to a political party. Underly is still a Democrat. Therequiembellishere (talk) 13:24, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

She may be more progressive-leaning on certain issues, but that in and of itself does not necessarily make Dr. Underly a Democrat. By that logic, a regular voter can be pigeonholed into a single ideology simply by reason of sharing one position with a political party. This fallacy doesn't bear out in reality. For example, the Pierce county auditor in Washington is running for secretary of state this election cycle as a nonpartisan candidate. She endorsed the last elected secretary of state, a Republican, before she resigned to work in the federal government. And yet in the same breath, the candidate happens to be more progressive on post-incarceration voting rights than the Democratic incumbent appointed by Governor Jay Inslee. Does this make her a Republican? A Democrat? A genuine nonpartisan? This is why I believe pigeonholing any nonpartisan candidate into the ideology of a party is inherently problematic. Humans are complex organisms with political views derived from an interplay of both upbringing and lived experiences, which in turn is reinforced by sociocultural exposure. When people run as nonpartisans for partisan offices, or like Dr. Underly run for constitutionally nonpartisan offices, we should have the grace to acknowledge that their personal ideological leanings may not neatly overlay those of a political party.

Also, Wisconsin's courts have interpreted the constitutional provisions regarding judges and the state superintendent over the many decades to mean that an individual cannot run for either office and formally belong to a political party. If you visit the Wisconsin Democratic or Republican party websites, you will see that neither party lists Underly as a member for that reason. For some historical reference on this phenomenon, I encourage you to read the obituary of Dr. Eleazer Root, Wisconsin's first state superintendent of public instruction at the State Historical Society, plus Jacksonian Democracy and the Wisconsin Constitution. Dr. Root literally wrote article X of the state constitution and was one of the few members of the constitutional convention that was neither a Republican nor a Democrat. The latter source material discusses the various influences of Jacksonian democracy in Wisconsin, including the nonpartisan nature of Wisconsin's local governments, judiciary, and state superintendent's office. You will need to inquire with the Marquette Law Review for a copy of Jacksonian Democracy and the Wisconsin Constitution.

I get that the infobox shouldn't be a resume (because trust me long infoboxes are annoying) but the fact that she doesn't hold any office now, and the fact that all the other Assistant President pro tempore's have theirs on, and the fact that it would only be 5 offices on her box kinda makes me think about putting it on.

Hmmm seems like a lot of users have been bothered by your edits as well. Now I don't want to escalate this for your sake, but it has been agreed upon by multiple users that the 3 "acting presidents" should be removed since nowhere in the constitution says that the prime minister becomes an acting head of state. The constitution even specifically states that the office should be vacant. Prodrummer619 (talk) 15:45, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seems that you don’t check references well. In the article President of Lebanon, the Lebanese constitution is in the references which specifically states that the “presidency” is vacant and only some of the presidential powers are delegated to the council of ministers, and not the prime minister. That is notwithstanding the fact that many (and yes not just the extremely new account you’re referencing) Lebanese accounts agree, substantiated by the appropriate references.

Listen if it bothers you that title has 5+ people yes i understand that maybe we should remove it or make it collapsible I get that but the Senior Advisor article has a list of people who have served so i think its important that this is shown in the infobox all other white house positions work this way also pls dont revert lets discuss it here Friendlyhistorian (talk) 17:29, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The difference being that all other WH positions are actual jobs and not a sinecure title. It is not the purpose of the infobox to be a resume, and we can/should/do adequately link and source in the article prose where appropriate. This is one of those outside the beltway confusions that bedevil wikipedia so often, much like the broader titles of SAP, DAP and ATP simply indicate rank. And yet people will try to add an infobox section saying "Assistant to the President" like that's a job in an of itself when that simply isn't true. The same holds for Senior Advisor and Counselor (traditionally the even more senior sinecure title), and to try and indicate some sort of linearity of succession as well as "alongside" a bevy of other people who work in entirely separate areas is just wrong and not encyclopedic. We should list actually positions that do follow those infobox usages when they are notable and usually only principal roles. Senior advisors are simply being misinterpreted and don't meet the criteria. Therequiembellishere (talk) 17:50, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you did a lot of work on this article in July, and I'm hoping the subject is still fresh enough for you. There is a very clumsy sentence, that's been clumsy for a couple of years at least.

Currently it reads:

The postmaster general is now appointed by the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service, appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate.

Previously it read:

The postmaster general is now appointed by nine "governors", appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate.

The "appointed... appointed..." leads to confusion and rereading and continued confusion. It really looks like someone didn't clean up completely when changing from "(PMG) appointed by the president" to "(PMG) appointed by Board of Gov...". Even adding the words "which is" before the second 'appointed' would help only a little.

I'm thinking it would be better overall not to attempt to succinctly repeat here how the Board gets formed. Rather, with the nice link available to satisfy all curiosity, just have:

The postmaster general is now appointed by the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service.

While you're right that AP/DAP/SAP are ranks and typically not used alone as titles, that's what the White House [7] used for Fleming. Every other DCOS listed in official records was explicitly given that title, in addition to the AP rank. Whether or not Fleming felt that he essentially performed that function, other people were explicitly given the title and Fleming was not, and that's the biographical standard.

As for places, I agree that the state, district, county or what adds to a place being better located within a country. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:26, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox person says: "Countries should generally not be linked". For a big city like London, I don't see any problem in adding the district, such as, for example, Streatham for Naga Munchetty. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:36, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We agree. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:51, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy First Edit Day! Hi Therequiembellishere! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! Armbrust The Homunculus 15:48, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm DeFacto. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Shadow Cabinet of Rishi Sunak, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! -- DeFacto (talk). 18:55, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I've seen you undid my edits on members of The Wisconsin GOP. I did Undo some of your changes "not all of them". May I Get a reason why you disagree with the addition of the state GOP to the Wikipedia articles. Thank You. Zyxrq (talk) 19:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's completely unnecessary and does not appreciably inform a reader in any way. They are elected officials of the Republican Party, which has state level party that are effectively chapters to help with organization. It's particularly off base for federal electeds. Therequiembellishere (talk) 21:25, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If that's the case, wouldn't it make since to at least include the state affiliated party's for People such as Governors and state officials? Zyxrq (talk) 00:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then again we would need to be selective with those we do this for. Zyxrq (talk) 00:18, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Mass addition of unsourced degrees to BLPs. Thank you. Thedarkknightli (talk) 00:10, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! This is User:Luiysia (IRL name is Kelly). My main interests are fashion, music, literature, and history. I am fairly new to Wikipedia editing and I found that there has been very little activity from the Chicago Wikipedia user group since 2020.

I'd like to host a casual meetup in Chicago to celebrate Wikidata Day on Saturday, October 26.

Proposed location is Engine Coffee in the Wicker Park/West Town area, at 11AM.

Here is the official meetup page, where you can add yourself as an attendee.

(If you would prefer not to see messages like this, go ahead and take yourself off this list.)

Hope to see you all there!

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

When you remove leading zeroes from dates, it adds ambiguity. When "01" becomes "1", it is unclear to an editor of the wikitext whether "01" was actually the intended value, or whether some number from 10 through 19 was intended. Please do not make this type of edit. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:37, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, changing valid uses of {{cite news}} to {{cite web}} is contrary to the documentation of those templates. This sort of change, along with the above and hundreds of arguably unhelpful changes to spacing, and your breakage of sorting at Category:Female United States senators, is why I reverted your edit wholesale instead of trying to fix just one little error. Please be more careful. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:41, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of these are actually worth a full revert instead of a message to talk it through. Would argue the spacing is extremely hard to read. If you'd like to point out what about the sorting is broken, happy to look into it. Therequiembellishere (talk) 19:46, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the sorting for you. See WP:SORTKEY. I have not fixed the cite templates or the misguided date abridgement. I'll leave that to you or others. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:48, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. To be honest, I'm not sure how the category change happened and wasn't intentional. Therequiembellishere (talk) 19:51, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I nearly templated you! Please stop categorizing Pacific Islanders as Asian. It should be pretty obvious as to the difference as one group is from Oceania & the other from Asia. Peaceray (talk) 23:07, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks, I know, I'm Filipino. I have move a category request pending. Therequiembellishere (talk) 23:14, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please wait until the category rename. I lived for fourteen years in Hawaiʻi. There would be a lot of angry native Hawaiʻians at being miscategorized Asians. Peaceray (talk) 23:17, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, all of Filipino resident commissioners are explicitly Asian and it's wrong to remove the category from their pages regardless. Therequiembellishere (talk) 23:16, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not include other Pacific Islanders until the rename. Peaceray (talk) 23:18, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your 'hide'. The behavior has since been repeated. Would appreciate your guidance. (I had opened a § on Talk but other issues on the page have intervened; the offending user is a newbie and is persistent.) Humanengr (talk) 16:55, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I was trying to deal specifically with the category issue and didn't realize the rest of the pending changes would come with me, so I'm not really steeped in what's happening there. Therequiembellishere (talk) 17:30, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, it looks like your massive number of edits on 17 December 2024 are going to require a mass revert. The fact that all those infoboxes are using (and have always used) the longer titles should have been a clue that your proposed shorter titles are not the prevailing forms in formal written English. Google Ngram Viewer shows that "president of the Senate" is more common than "Senate president" and "speaker of the Assembly" is more common than "Assembly speaker".Coolcaesar (talk) 16:23, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And IMHO in direct violation of BLP policy which instructs such edits must be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion (bolding not mine). This puts good faith editors at odds on the merits. I've created a thread on the BLP Noticeboard where this disagreement can be discussed. BusterD (talk) 14:52, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Therequiembellishere, I'm RedactedHumanoud. I see that you recently removed the image caption from the article about JD Vance. I've re-added it, as there wasn't really any reason for it to be removed, but I'm curious to know why you removed it without reason. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 17:38, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
