CT Districts

Hello AntonI20......a quick note about your edits, they are good, but if you can wait until the new congress gets seated Jan 3rd it would be extremely helpful. Congress still works under the old district lines until then. Also, if you can keep the distict map in history,it will make it it easier to delete the map in the infobox as the new district lines take effect on the 3rd. CT has only small changes, but they are still changes. Also, can you update the change in town and precinct info in the main body of the text for each of the districts if you know it on the 3rd? I don't "own" all the congressional districts, just trying to keep them accurate. Welcome to Misplaced Pages by the way. Let me know if you have any questions, I or a couple of people I know in the Wikiproject can try to answer them for you.......Pvmoutside (talk) 11:50, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Not a problem.....I left most of your edits. I did revert CT 5 since Esty is not being sworn in until tomorrow at noon. Better to leave with Murphy until then. Also, most of the maps in the infoboxes will be deleted beginning tomorrow...Pvmoutside (talk) 12:49, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Puerto Ricans in the US

Hi Antoni20, How's it going? I looked at your good-faithed edits in the above mentioned article. Just wanted to give you a friendly reminder to add the proper references to your edits. Take care. Tony the Marine (talk) 20:28, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Adding reference on wiki articles

Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Hello ANTONI20! Please do not forget to add references for the content you add to Misplaced Pages. Adding a well formatted references is very easy to do.

  1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
  2. Then click on "templates",
  3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill as many details as you can,

This will add a well formatted reference that would be helpful in case the website link (web URL) becomes inactive (dead/link rot) after some time. You can read more about it on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv. thanks and regards --DBigXray 20:38, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Congressional districts

Why area you changing the Lists of Representatives on North Dakota's at-large congressional district and South Dakota's at-large congressional district?—GoldRingChip

ND

I actually broke it down to make it much easier for the average reader. I also created hyperlinks for those other districts. It's not as if I destroyed your entire project. I think the final project looked very good.

Good work adding info in congressional districts. When possible, can you leave them in chronological order. Also, in some cases you've removed information, such as here (Idaho's 2nd congressional district) in which the 2002 and 2004 election info was lost. Keep up the good work!—GoldRingChip 21:53, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

In Massachusetts's 1st congressional district and Massachusetts's 2nd congressional district, you reversed data that was in chronological order and rewrote the Lists of Representatives. I've undone those, but let's discuss them before we go further. What were your ideas there?—GoldRingChip 13:59, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Stop

Stop removing pertinent information. —GoldRingChip 12:44, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Stop removing pertinent information, and try to comply with the Misplaced Pages guidelines. Misplaced Pages is not a nespaper; it's an encyclopedia, i.e. an archive of information. It is thus very similar to the "National Archives" which you quoted elsewhere. The reverse chronology of pollsters and electioneers used in the news media, especially during election campaigns, is unencyclopedic. Readers of Misplaced Pages do not want to know what happened last in their district (they can get that info from the news), they want general info on the history of the district at any time, since Independence.
