Huh. I'm concerned that you changed the number on the Trump Wall article from 371 to 400, based on an article that should say "nearly" 400 has been built (as this more complete article does say: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2020/10/29/dhs-and-cbp-celebrate-400-miles-new-border-wall-system). The CBP website still says 371, though it is time for an update there which would probably add ten miles or a little more. 400 is not correct, and 371 is still the official number.

Discretionary sanctions alert - American politics
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Pre-emptively changing the Beth Van Duyne to a victory
You preemptively changed the article to say she had won, before any reliable sources have made that claim. The single source you used likewise does not say she had won the seat, and seemed to carefully avoid making that claim. Yet you substantially changed the article to say she was the victor, and she was the new congresswoman for her district. Without any supporting sources, and the race as yet being uncalled. Why?

Lauren Boebert
I am not engaged in an edit war, as you claim on the my Talk page. An edit war is when you repeatedly reverse someone's edits without explanation, as you have done to me. Please go to the Boebert Talk page and explain to me why the How? query should remain in the first paragraph of the article, when clearly Boebert expressed support for Qanon.

- Yes. Me too. -- CharlesShirley (talk) 15:09, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
You've reverted 3 times, Chisme twice
Just to make it clear. Doug Weller talk 19:35, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!
