American politics discretionary sanctions notice

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 recently 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.

A Barnstar For You!

why should I stop improving the articles?

the articles should be inclusive. The Republican primary one, for example, is all about the minor candidates and how they do. Getting on the ballot the party mucky-mucks don't want you to is quite an achievement, don't you think? At least five of them are going to get tens of thousands of votes and the major candidates are going to get only slightly more. This has been the case with every single second term incumbent since 1936. Not counting the third term incumbents in 1952 ane '68, only two, Ford and Carter, even lost a primary. So let's not kid ourselves and deliberately make a false impression. Arglebargle79 (talk) 21:24, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps I should've been more clear. I've got no problem with you making improvements to any article, but I do have a problem with you adding Ardini to the minor candidates section without consensus. By all means, continue contributing to Wikipedia and make improvements, but sometimes it's best to drop the stick and let it go when things aren't going your way. - EditDude (talk) 22:58, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

The Republican primary is about to end.

You ask where I get my figures? The same place everyone else does. FIVETHIRTYEIGHT and RealClearPolitics. There are also local papers/sites showing Trump's popularity rating. While one might object to saying something dead certain to happen six months from now, now. It's another thing entirely to say that something certain to happen will happen 73 hours before the event. Most decent polls have a margin of error of around 3%. Some of the lesser ones have 6%. For close races, the latter are useless if it's a close race. However, when it comes to 30 or 40% in a stable situation, it's dead certain. There's a 70% chance Biden's going to win the SC primary today. It would be wrong to say that he WILL win it because there's a decent chance he won't. However, with all the polling done on the Republicans side showing Trump getting from 85 to 95% of the vote, there's no chance he's gonna lose and the rules say that under those rules he gets everything. Everyone actually agrees with that.

So what I'm trying to do, and for some reason, nobody can actually imagine it, is get everything ready for super tuesday. Trump will get all the delegates and millions of popular votes. Weld might actually get two or three from Massachusetts and a total of a quarter-million (as to Weld, we can't say, but for Trump, we can). With 47% of the delegates available banked, it's a mathematical impossibility that he's gonna lose the nomination unless a genuine miracle on the level of Moses parting the Red sea takes place.

Look at the 2016 primary pages. Both of them. That's what the 2020 page should look like. I know there's a consensus not to talk about it, but with 75 hours to go, I think it's necessary. With all the minor guys finished by the 10th, the only thing left to do will be to plug numbers in the results page. Will Rocky, as the not-Trump, get more than ten percent of the vote in Illinois? Will Weld break 20% in Florida? We can't say as yet. But We can say that Trump's gonna win everything with dead-shot certainsy.

So if you think my stuff isn't encyclopedic enough, improve it. Don't delete it. Arglebargle79 (talk) 20:17, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

I agree with you that Trump will win every contest on Super Tuesday and will ultimately win the nomination. But it's not our job here to be pundits for this election cycle. Predicting primary results - and until they happen, that's all they are, predictions - is inherently unencylopedic, and should be left to the realm of punditry. We can discuss if pundits think Trump will win every state, or will clinch every delegate, but to make those predictions ourselves is against Wikipedia's neutral nature. Perhaps I'll fix your paragraphs up with this in mind later, or maybe not. Deleting them was admittedly harsh, but they definitely need cleaning up. - EditDude (talk) 20:38, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
