Help me!

Please help me with...Wikipedia entry on National Special Security Events (NSSE) indicates the US Secret Service is in charge of NSSEs; the evidence cited to support that claim is 18 U.S. Code § 3056 - Powers, authorities, and duties of United States Secret Service. That source does not verify the "in charge" claim, but instead only indicates the USSS may participate in such events.

In addition, when one looks at the source in the original entry for the "in charge" claim (https://web.archive.org/web/20110712031817/https://www.dhs.gov/xnews/releases/pr_1167323822753.shtm), the source says the the secret service is the lead federal agency, not that the USSS is "in charge.": "When an event is designated a National Special Security Event, the U.S. Secret Service assumes its mandated role as the lead federal agency for the design and implementation of the operational security plan and Federal resources are deployed to maintain the level of security needed for the event and the area. The goal of such an operation is to prevent terrorist attacks and criminal acts. Bellavita (talk) 02:21, 12 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

You should discuss this matter on the NSSE's talk page itself in order to garner more input than just the one editor that closes the {{help me}}. Primefac (talk) 03:00, 12 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm M16A3NoRecoilHax. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Philip Mudd, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! – Recoil (talk) 12:00, 31 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
