Adding references...

Hi RobSmith, seeing as you're contributing much to the content page, can you try to include sufficient references to the details you add? For example, since you're including details about the House impeachment vote, I suppose you could find one source that lists the vote by each representative and cite the source multiple times as needed. In addition, you originally mentioned that the unemployment rate in AOC's district was at 9.1%, though I couldn't find any sources to back that up and had to change the statistic based on estimates. Thanks! --Liberaltears (talk) 23:49, 13 March 2020 (EDT)

The AOC stat came from Ballotpedia; I wanted to include the Median income figure, as well cause it is below the national average and significant, but that would require time, interpretation, and cites. Right now I'm just trying to cover much ground quickly, working off this list provided by the DCCC whom they consider vulnerable. Evan at that, I'm focusing on Congressional Progressive Caucus members cause we already have some basic information on their vulnerabilities in Conservapedia.

As to the Impeachment articles, only two Democrats abstained or voted against it. I don't think we have to link to a cite for each one individually. RobS^{De Plorabus Unum} 00:21, 14 March 2020 (EDT)

Ok. I finished vulnerable CPC members. Next are vulnerable Green_New_Deal#Supporters and Medicare_for_All#House; we should develop a system to identify Members of Congress in Category:Anti Second Amendment. RobS^{De Plorabus Unum} 01:05, 14 March 2020 (EDT)

Alright, thank you RobSmith! Also, I know this is out of topic, but I never quite got a clear response on whether I have permission to create a template titled "Template:Republican establishment". You partially responded here, but didn't give a clear "yes" or "no" answer. --Liberaltears (talk) 11:05, 14 March 2020 (EDT)

Honestly, I don't know much about Templates. Do you need a page unlocked to do it? RobS^{De Plorabus Unum} 11:18, 14 March 2020 (EDT)

What do you mean by whether I need a page unlocked? Templates creations aren't automatically locked, as I've created userbox templates before. I thought that the only criteria that needs to be met to create templates is getting Sysop permission, as mentioned here. --Liberaltears (talk) 11:26, 14 March 2020 (EDT)

If it were me, I'd use the official San Francisco Poop Map for California's 12th district, just to highlight issues of concern to voters. RobS^{De Plorabus Unum} 19:01, 21 March 2020 (EDT)

Done. --Liberaltears (talk) 19:56, 21 March 2020 (EDT)

Suggestion

Black Lives Matter protesters murdered 8 year old Secoriea Turner on July 5, 2020 in Atlanta.^[1]

What if we posted this img at the top (move _TOC_ down a little) and then just add a sentence or two to various candidates, "So and so is a supporter of Black Lives Matter"? I can work on a paragraph or two in the meantime to add in the Intro the significance of BLM and riots as an issue (it's bigger than impeachment now). RobS^{Trump 2Q2Q} 02:34, 8 July 2020 (EDT)

CA 12

Why does CA 12 have 2 Democrats on the ballot for the general? [1] RobS^{Trump 2Q2Q} 13:01, 8 July 2020 (EDT)

Cori Bush

We might as well begin a Cori Bush article. According to the McCloskey's of Missouri#2020_Marxist_insurrection and The Federalist, she's going to win MO-1 and become the fifth member of the The Squad. RobS^{Free Kyle!} 13:37, 12 September 2020 (EDT)
