Orphaned non-free media (Image:Alan Keyes.gif)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Alan Keyes.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on United States presidential election, 2008. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. V-train (talk) 11:55, 1 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Blocked

edit

It goes without saying, but I've blocked you for 31 hours for completely unacceptable edit warring. Cowman109Talk 19:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the civil e-mail; most people would yell quite a lot. Since it's clear to me you understand what went wrong (and it does appear that Mitrebox was using some sort of bot to revert your edits instantly) and stopped after you learned of the three-revert-rule I've unblocked you. If some sort of edit war begins to occur again, usually the best bet is to seek out other users (usually uninvolved ones) to look at the situation before it becomes so heated. And then an administrator would be the one to find if it is already out of hand to either protect the page or block the main users involved/instigator.

Current largest U.S. third parties (voter registration over 100,000)

edit

Largest 3rd party in the U.S. is now America's Independent Party National Committee

edit

On June 27, 2008 America's Independent Party National Committee, 17195 Silver Parkway #336, Fenton, MI 48430, www.aipnc.com or www.SelfGovernment.US became the nation's 3rd largest political party following California's American Independent Party's affiliation with the recently formed national political party.

A press release is available at http://aipca.org/news.html confirming AIP-California has ended its affiliation with the Constitution Party in favor of America's Independent Party National Committee.

Contact person is: Markham Robinson, Parliamentarian of the AIP-CA Savvyconsumer7 (talk) 03:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

The section title reads "Current largest U.S. third parties (voter registration over 100,000)" Clearly, the section ranks parties based upon voter registration.
Please visit http://www.aipca.org which is the California AIP's official website. The site has been updated to reflect affiliation with the American Independent Party (AIPNC), rather than the Constitution Party.
Without AIP-CA, the Constitution Party's voter registration falls below the 100,000 threshold.
This is a quote from the Libertarian Party article based upon 2006 voter registration for the CP:
"The Constitution Party ranked third with 366,937 registrants, next to the Greens' 289,177 and the Libertarians' 235,500. However, Winger says, nearly all of the 315,151 California voters affiliated with the Constitution Party are actually registrants of California's American Independent Party."
