A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Lordbowler. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! – TCMemoire 14:47, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Inuse

Hello, I'm TCMemoire, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for helping out with the recent election results, including the 2014 gubernatorial primary elections in South Dakota. It's very much appreciated; these articles tend to be neglected. However, just a friendly note: if an {{inuse}} template is displayed at the top of a page, the article is currently being edited by another user and should not be edited, in order to avoid edit conflicts. These templates are very useful for informing other editors that you will be making a large or important edit to the page. In this case, it turns out we had the same idea to add the SD primary results. But no worries, it happens. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, etc., feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thanks, and again, welcome! – TCMemoire 15:01, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

This is shoe1999. I saw what you wrote about my edit to the 2014 Arizona Gubernatorial Election, frankly you come off as rude. I would appreciate if you would think before sending notices to people.-shoe1999 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoe1999 (talk • contribs) 04:19, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Actually, I find you to be the rude one in the conversation. I questioned the vote numbers that were edited to the user I thought (wrongly) made the edit. I immediately apologized to User:Tiller54, when I realized my mistake. He brought the edit to your attention, as is right to do and warned you of Vandalism. My vote totals were accurate and well sourced to best source available, the Secretary of State (Arizona). Your numbers weren't even cited, which goes against Wikipedia suggestions. I didn't accuse you of Vandalism, expecting it was an honest mistake. We all make them from time to time. You should re-read Help:Editing. Dialog with Tiller54.

Now your accusing me of being rude. Who do you think you are? Is this what you do you, make people feel bad. You don't belong on Wiki.-shoe1999 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoe1999 (talk • contribs) 20:51, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I would disagree. I would challenge you to cite where I've been rude. I've explained my actions above. I've been on wikipedia for awhile now and have endeavored to follow the guidelines, like signing my comments properly here, and citing my sources. I don't know who made you the arbiter of who is allowed to be on wikipedia and who should not. (Lordbowler (talk) 23:52, 3 September 2014 (UTC))

NY Senate %

Hi, I'm PalmerTheGolfer, a fellow editor of US Election pages. I've run into you before on election pages but never talked to you. I saw you edited NY Senate page with new #and %. I saw your source, while it provides source for the vote tallies, it does not for the vote %. If you could find a source for such percents. Thanks PalmerTheGolfer (talk) 18:05, 29 December 2016 (UTC)PalmerTheGolfer PalmerTheGolfer (talk) 18:05, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

The official published results did not specify the percentages, only the vote totals. I calculated the percentages for each set of votes.
