Response to California Elections before 2010

Hello all Municipal Elections are not Nonpartisan in California until 2010 the Municipal Elections law went in to affect in to 2010 it available on San Francisco and Los Angeles mayoral election pages let me know if you are confused :) 172.58.75.92 (talk) 00:56, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I was able to find the text that modified the California Constitution, which was prop 14 in 2009. It doesn't seem like this changed anything with local elections. The changes to the constitution (with italics meaning text added by the proposition) are: "SEC. 6. (a) All judicial, school, county, and city offices, including the Superintendent of Public Instruction, shall be nonpartisan." [1]https://repository.uchastings.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2300&context=ca_ballot_props (page 66). Los Angeles city elections have been nonpartisan per the City Charter since 1909. If there is any other source, that would be great to see, thanks.

California Municipal elections

please revert all the edits that you made on the mayoral elections that you made in California Municipal Elections are not Nonpartisan in California until 2010 when prop 14 pass so can you please revert all the edits back to avoid miss judge ment of edits waring thank you. 172.58.22.175 (talk) 19:47, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Eteethan is correct, local elections in Los Angeles have been nonpartisan since 1909 because of the passing of the 1909 City Charter. Per this source: "A 1911 amendment to the state constitution made all local elections in California nonpartisan, but Los Angeles voters could not wait and, in 1909, installed nonpartisan elections". What you're talking about is the nonpartisan blanket primary, which California now uses to put all running politicians, regardless of party, onto one ballot. reppop^talk 01:12, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary

I'm sorry. What part of my edit summary did you not understand? d per 2020 tag. Deletion. Per the 2020 tag. Which you could see. For some reason you called that an unexplained content removal. And used tools to revert. But that was not proper, as it was explained. And appropriate. And re-adding it violated wp rules. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:DDD2:4F20:16A4:82A0 (talk) 06:40, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey - honestly I didn't really know what you were trying to say in your edit summary, "d per 2020 tag." Upon further review you were correct in deleting content; however I would recommend a more clear edit summary in the future - such as "Deleting unsourced content, as tagged in 2020." Thanks! Eteethan (talk) 06:31, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was mistake

The version you restored contained spelling errors, the non-automatic taxobox and some English that could probably be improved. The large removal there was because I accidently duplicated the "Background" section. 115.188.140.167 (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! The content that was removed seems to be well referenced. I'd recommend correcting the spelling/grammar errors and the taxobox in that case!. Let me know if you have any questions :) Eteethan (talk) 08:19, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The content I removed was an exact duplicate of the section above 115.188.140.167 (talk) 08:43, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see - It wasn't readily apparent because the removal/addition were on different edits. Eteethan (talk) 08:47, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No explanation for a blanket revert in the history page

@@Eteethan: You reverted two of my good faith edits of the Hijab article

in one swoop revert, within one minute after I posted my edits, and you never gave any explanation in the history page. It appears to me that you are engaging in sabotage. I will ask for a third opinion.

 QamarBurtuqali (talk) 09:02, 8 November 2023 (UTC)QamarBurtuqali[reply]

Your listed source isn't reliable, per WP:RS. Additionally, it seems like you are engaged in an edit war on this page with multiple uninvolved editors. I'd recommend raising your concerns on the article talk page and obtaining consensus before making this edit. Thanks! Eteethan (talk) 06:43, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Movies.com AFD

Just FYI, the AfD you reverted was closed as keep so it’s clear that it was meant to happen. 63.115.34.165 (talk) 08:05, 10 November 2023 (UTc)

Ok, sounds good! I had no involvement with this AfD, I was just stepping in to revert block evasion. Thanks! Eteethan (talk) 08:52, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's really the common IS hostage video costume

About the symbolism of that: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-guantanamo-congress-islamicstate-idUSKBN0L91YF20150205 94.254.152.192 (talk) 09:28, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And to the pint that even some reprisal executions of captured IS terrorists would have their own executioners wear these exact costumes ("the orange robes normally worn by victims of the Islamic State") too: https://theworld.org/stories/2015-07-01/syrian-rebels-execute-islamic-state-fighters-while-wearing-orange-jumpsuits-their — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.254.152.192 (talk) 09:36, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't seem like vandalism, on further review, but I would argue that addition was unnecessary. Eteethan (talk) 08:53, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article described him as clad in the orange jumpsuit (the usual IS hostage uniform for their theatrical interrogation and execution videos) without explaining anything. Also once he began working for them he was given him more regular clothing as if he ceased to being a hostage and joined them (https://www.longwarjournal.org/tags/john-cantlie), but this was not mentioned and I didn't add it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.173.93.157 (talk) 06:07, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
