It should be a point or two higher for Labor?

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Leadership approval opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election has been reverted.
Your edit here to Leadership approval opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/OpiniumResearch/status/1561066285412360194?s=20&t=4sBu9KjCah-8-7Kld2o4fA) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 10:29, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

There seems to be currently an edit war regarding the population of Australia's largest cities between Melbourne and Sydney. As this is still discussed int he Australia page, I made the decision to revert the edits to 'most populous' and was in no way trying to vandalise. GarbageKarate (talk) 16:12, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Post-election pendulum for the 2023 New South Wales state election moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Post-election pendulum for the 2023 New South Wales state election, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:05, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Pre-election pendulum for the next Australian federal election

Hello, GarbageKarate. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Pre-election pendulum for the next Australian federal election".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:01, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Rosehill metro station

Hello GarbageKarate, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Rosehill metro station, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rosehill metro station.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|North8000}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Please stop with the Leppington & Inner West move

Please stop with the move for Leppington and Inner West. Copying and pasting is procedurally incorrect when completing a move as it fragments the page history. See WP:MOVE for more info. Fork99 (talk) 00:16, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

I apologise for the error I made while working on the article. I was unaware that my actions would fragment the page history and was under the impression that my edits would not fragment the page history. Could you please revert my changes and ensure the process is completed correctly?

Thank you for your understanding and assistance. GarbageKarate (talk) 00:28, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeah no worries, I've asked for a history merge request, now to just leave it to an admin. In future, if you get an error that you can't complete a move for technical reasons (likely because the redirect was in the way), please list it at WP:RM/TR. Thanks for your splitting work too though! Fork99 (talk) 00:32, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

This makes so much more sense. I'll be sure to swing any questions past you in the future before unilaterally making changes like this. The new T3 page is now live at Liverpool & Inner West Line, but this is still a work in progress. Thanks again! GarbageKarate (talk) 00:53, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh yeah, you also shouldn't have closed the move at all since you are WP:INVOLVED (or a more simpler explanation at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Conflicts of interest). Honestly, I have no idea what the next step is, it might have to be a move review since the RM was closed improperly but I really don't want to drag this along either since there likely isn't any opposition - these sorts of things are a little pedantic but it's just the process I guess. Fork99 (talk) 03:30, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Ah, I read WP:INVOLVED as soon as you said that. Hopefully, the admin will realise this was a rookie mistake, as I am now aware of this for future discussions regarding moves and splits. GarbageKarate (talk) 05:37, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

I might just ask for a WP:RM/TR request first as to whether or not this should go to a move review afterwards. See if it gets contested at WP:RM/TR or if it just gets moved; if it gets contested, then go to move review (which I think might happen). Fork99 (talk) 22:52, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

@GarbageKarate Rather than get an admin involved, the easiest thing at this point would be for you to revert your close by manually reverting Special:Diff/1252134731. In other words, edit Talk:Inner West & Leppington Line, replace everything between <div class="boilerplate mw-archivedtalk" and ---- with {{requested move/dated|Leppington & Inner West Line}}, and remove the part at the bottom about the discussion being closed. If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, if you indicate here that another editor has permission to revert you, someone else can take care of it. --Ahecht (TALK
