Removed parties from infobox

California has a nonpartisan blanket primary for governor, meaning that the two candidates that run in the general election could be of any party affiliations. As such, I removed the Party row from the infobox. Zeldafanjtl (talk) 20:54, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Campaign websites in external links?

What's common Wikipedia policy on this? I see that United States Senate election in California, 2016 links to the general election candidates' websites, but from my experience when it comes to election articles we tend to have different rules for upcoming elections versus past elections.

If we're going to do this, we have to establish some sort of standard for notability; linking to the website for every candidate listed in this article would be unwieldy. For now, I'm removing Jacob Morris and Grant Handzlik's websites since they don't work. Zeldafanjtl (talk) 21:53, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
