Welcome!

I used to be Arbor832466 but for the sake of simplicity, I am now just Arbor8. Shorter name. Still me.


A barnstar for you!

I hate to think what so many of our political bios would look like without your constant attention--biased left, biased right, unsourced mendacity, unsourced puffery. Your many contributions help maintain Wikipedia as a worthwhile resource in this important area. Well done! Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 03:04, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Buchanan edits

Hi -

Thanks for your note re: my edits to Vern Buchanan's page. Please review my edits for neutral POV, and if I come off as biased, please let me know and edit/delete as you see fit. I was just trying to update for the new Congress with some properly-cited legislative issues (and the 'alleged' thing just caught my eye, as he hadn't been found guilty of anything yet, and I watch a lot of Law & Order :-).

Best.

Re Cotton Rogers

I briefly edited under my IP address 74.79.39.105 before deciding to make my self avail to the benefits of an account (I'm not sure what your getting at) since i enjoyed editing so much. also I was not editing against consensus just against your opinions (and maybe one other person) also you grossly oversimplified my argument it was a lot more than "I liked the other way better" to be honest I thought you were editing against consensus I will keep on editing Kirsten Gillibrand you arguments are species at best — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cotton Rogers (talkcontribs) 17:09, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

have changed wording and added both sides of the argument in attempt to satisfy both our concerns since your previous edit I believe was unneutral while my changes are neutral and give balance to both sides not one over the other any way let me know your opinion on the recent changes and additions as I find them fair and admit maybe my prevoius wording was a little hastyCotton Rogers (talk) 18:09, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re Dean Dozen

I think you definitely have a point with questioning the notable nature of my edits. I am making the changes for the sake of uniformity and updating outdated pages. A lot of these candidates don't even have mention of running an election in 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aesco77 (talkcontribs) 19:19, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re Robert Dold

Hi Arbor8. Congressional Dold does not support a constitutional ban on gay marriage. I have checked with his office. This article you linked is mistaken. That's why, unless you have a quote of video footage of him saying as much, it should be removed. He is not in favor of gay marriage, but doesn't support a constitutional ban. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WIBSTRBS (talkcontribs) 16:09, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a publisher of original research. If you can find a reliable secondary source, then by all means make the edit. Please see WP:OR for more on the topic. Arbor8 (talk) 17:21, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
