Hornets/Pelicans edit

Please read this link [1] before continuing to make edits to these articles. The current Charlotte Hornets are indeed acquiring the history of the franchise from 1988-2002. The history and records of the Pelicans will begin in 2003 to present. Geologik (talk) 18:57, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply


Yes, I was misinformed and I do apologize. Thanks for the message! Cubslakersfan (talk)

Your edits at Rauner edit

…were timely, but misunderstood the recent history of the article. The article was edited quickly by unregistered editors on the evening of 4 November, as soon as one media outlet called the race for Rauner. The very careful text indicating lack of concesstion was placed at that time. You came on the scene after the concession, and so it seemed the text was too conservative. Not so, you simply had the benefit of passing time, and changing circumstances. Your edits were timely, accurate, but so were the earlier conservative ones. (The "Sorry" in the edit summary was unnecessary.) Cheers, and thanks again for the work. Leprof 7272 (talk) 13:15, 7 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Your edits to Theresa May and other British prime ministers edit

Please note the following from the documentation at Template:Officeholder:

"The parameter |order= is used in conjunction with |office= to state that the officeholder is the nth holder of the office, for example "42nd President of the United States". This should only be used when there is a well established use of such numbering in reliable sources. Do not add numbers simply based on a Wikipedia list of holders of the office, because (1) the list may not be accurate and (2) even with a definite list, different numbering systems could be applied (as to how various categories of "irregular" officeholders should be counted, and as to the counting of those serving for multiple non-consecutive periods) making the numbers arbitrary; and even where such issues are not yet present, they are bound to be in the future, making this unsustainable. "

If this parameter is not specified, I think you can assume that it is a good idea to establish consensus before making changes to several of them.--Boson (talk) 10:35, 11 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
