Hello @Putitonamap98: I've noticed your work on Michigan gubernatorial election maps as of late. You've been doing a great job at adding important visual aids to these articles. I also see you've done similar things with other state gubernatorial elections. I wanted to thank you for these great contributions. Keep up the good work! RoundSquare (talk) 04:37, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RoundSquare: Thanks so much glad to see someone noticing and appreciating my work. It is a lengthy and kind of tough process because I have to put all the numbers into a percentage calculator and I take my time ensure the vote percentages for each county are correct. I was able to find alot of the old election Michigan and Tennessee data from state manuals from the Hathi Trust digital library. I'm still trying to find the Idaho, Texas, Arkansas, and Kansas county data for past gubernatorial elections, if you could find the county results for these states I would be more than happy to start working on maps for these election pages. Thanks again! Putitonamap98 (talk)

hey @Putitonamap98, I like the work you've been doing on election maps. If you don't mind me asking, how do you go about creating these county maps, they all seem to origniate from the same place and I'm not quite sure how I can start making the same types of visuals. Gordfather69 (talk) 05:02, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 10:54, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Would be courteous and helpful to other editors. Fettlemap (talk) 23:13, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Michelle DuBois, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brockton. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

In this edit, as in other edits you've made to articles for New Jersey legislative districts, you've extended a third row for a re-elected incumbent state senator. The reason that the terms had crossed two sessions is because the terms of a senator are two years, four years and four years in a ten-year cycle that resets after the decennial census. The row for the 2022-23 session should show always all three legislators -- the senator and the two assembly members -- even if the incumbent state senator had been re-elected. Alansohn (talk) 19:17, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Alansohn:, my apologizes for this, I am still learning how to edit the rows, could you help me with updating the list on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey%27s_39th_legislative_district

Sears won Surry County not Ayala as currently listed under your updated version. Please correct it. 107.77.241.4 (talk) 14:05, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Image recency doesn't matter if the subject's appearance hasn't substantially changed, which in this case it hasn't; we should be striving for the best and most representative image of the subject. That particular photo is their badge photo; almost every single congressperson's badge photo ([2]) is low-resolution and/or has other serious photographic errors (ex. in the one of Ryan, his face is way too bright compared to the background), and they generally have a goofy-ass facial expression (which can be quite funny at times! lol).

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

Hello, I keep having to revert the same edit on David Zuckerman (politician), the user https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Lpg369 keeps switching the free image with a copyvio image he uploaded and never provides an edit summary. It is really annoying and I do not want to get into a edit war.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Putitonamap98 (talk • contribs)

I have warned the user about edit warring(and as well as possible paid editing as they claim the image in question is their own work). Edit warring may be reported to WP:ANEW, though doing so requires warnings and an attempt to engage the other user in discussion on the talk page. 331dot (talk) 10:03, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To Putitonamap98. The picture of David Zuckerman belongs to David Zuckerman. His staff took the picture. Someone unrelated to him has often replaced the blue suit picture with the tan picture. I happen to be his brother and the only edit I have ever made on Wikipedia is to update this picture at his request. I am new to this and would love a tutorial on how to accomplish this correctly but understand, he prefers his blue suit picture to the tan picture and he owns the blue suit picture. It was not my intent to start a 'war', just to help my brother out. I understand there is an email feature to communicate directly with you but I couldn't figure out how to use it as I am new to this forum and format. I am truly sorry for the confusion.CZathome (talk) 17:25, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. You will find that titles used in infoboxes have very recently been changed from "Chairman" to "Chair" which do not reflect the actual title used by the officeholder. It's not a good reason to cite predecessors' infobox, you may also want to look at The Chairman's actual page on the DC Council site.

There is substantial overlap of edits between this account and your ip which was the determining factor in my decision to block. Barkeep49 (talk) 10:44, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My apologizes is there any way to solve this? I have never been blocked before. I would be fine waiting awhile with a temporary block I just wouldn't want it to be a permanent block because I really enjoy building onto/contributing to wikipedia. Putitonamap98 (talk) 10:57, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not unsympathetic here given that you had been a long time positive contributor with no previous issues. What needs explaining to me - and it can be via email to me or to arbcom - is 1) why you edited both logged in and logged out for such a long time 2) what happened that led to your IP very justifiably being blocked. Barkeep49 (talk) 16:33, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, whatever helps clear it up, what is the email please? Putitonamap98 (talk) 22:54, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This emails me or you can email the Arbitration Committee. Barkeep49 (talk) 23:30, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I quite sympathetic about your concerns about your wiki reputation. What your email does not address is why there are so many overlaps of edits to you both from this account and your IP. That is its own problem under policy. Barkeep49 (talk) 15:08, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My reason for this was for security since I was sharing a device I usually would just forget to log back in but if staying logged in is required I can start doing that. Putitonamap98 (talk) 20:43, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your patience as I consulted with the checkuser who had been considering your appeal at your IP address. You've gotten a bit lucky with the draw that I am the one responding here as I am on the "soft" side of things as many other admins/checkusers wouldn't be so willing to consider an appeal given the facts we have. Your answers aren't as forthcoming as I had hoped for but they are sufficient. That said if you're willing to abide by a formal one-account restriction, with account including logged out IP editing, and you acknowledge that further vandalism/BLP violations by someone else on your IP in the future could impact this account, I will accept and unblock this account. Barkeep49 (talk) 15:09, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I will ensure their will be no more vandalism coming from this IP and start giving out more edit summaries in the future if logged out so there can be more transparency. Thank you very much, admin I appreciate your kindness and fairness when it came to handling this situation. Putitonamap98 (talk) 22:08, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My sincere apologies. I thought I had actioned this back when your previous reply came in. I have done so now. Barkeep49 (talk) 15:26, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm TJRC. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Rocky River, Ohio, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 00:38, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Putitonamap, I noticed you reverted a higher resolution version of File:Mary Ann Baldwin.jpg. I was wonder why that revert was done, can we use the higher resolution version? --Pithon314 (talk) 08:13, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I used an upscale AI but I don't recommended using because the AI does not always get some details right and make things look off like Baldwin's hair for instance. Putitonamap98 (talk) 21:50, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

also upon closer inspection I noticed the facial features are not accurate. Putitonamap98 (talk) 21:51, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, got it! Didn't know that was where it was generated from. Thanks for the clarification! --Pithon314 (talk) 23:32, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Heyo, I am just letting you know I located two errors in the Democratic Primary for Governor map. Lowndes and Montgomery Counties are incorrect; Lowndes went for Sanders-Fortier in the 40-50 range, as did Montgomery in the 30-40 range.

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. You are still using your IP account to edit against the conditions for being unblocked. You are expect to only edit logged in to this account. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:29, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DonaldGA4334484 umm that's not true at all, there are definitely people living in some surrounding areas, even if they were no absolutely no voting there should be shading to reflect that, not be completely missing. see these fully completed map for reference: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GA_Senate_Special_Runoff_2021.svg

if you know where to get the election data you are free to upload a new version until then we can not have any incomplete maps on wikipedia, not to mention we don't even know if the data is accurate since the uploader didn't provide any sources in the description.

There is a dispute going on currently with the Pennsylvania 1880 article and which file for the county map to use. The one I uploaded has a clear background to it. The other file in question was uploaded after mine and has a solid white background, which isn't something that is done across the political maps. I am tired of going back and forth with other users, reverting each others edits. I would like to know your thoughts on this due to your rights and experience. I would like other users to stop unnecessarily reverting edits because they think a file has a better name. Thanks. ZackCarns (talk) 22:57, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
