Thank you for your considered statements over the last couple weeks at <a href="/wiki/Talk:United_States_Electoral_College" title="Talk:United States Electoral College">Talk:United States Electoral College</a>. I wanted to expand on a string of Congressional reform addressing state mal-apportionment in federal elections. I noted previously, efforts to curb state majority abuses included three Acts of Congress passing both House and Senate in an effort to shape political communities that resembled the underlying populations geographically, socially, and ideologically (the culturally-related basket of religion, ethnic practice, and politics): contiguity (1842), and compactness (1872), including equal population (1911) (but only for a few sessions at a time, and never enforced). </p><p>If we expand the observation from listing Acts of Congress to exploring who was sponsoring them, the topic takes on an interesting aspect of US political intellectual history. The 1842 legislation was sponsored by Jacksonian Democrats, the 1872 by Lincoln Republicans, and the 1911 by Republican and Democratic Progressives. Wiki-fencing on Talk pages notwithstanding, I understand the impulse to the National Popular Vote generally to be aligned with that intellectual tradition. To take another page from the same democratizing impulse, if the states abuse their Constitutional duty to elect US Senators by their legislatures for thirty consecutive years as they did in the Gilded Age, then the American people will pass a Constitutional Amendment taking the abused trust away from the bad actors subverting their democratic republic. </p><p>So it is, that if the states do not refrain from the egregious anti-democratic practice of winner-take-all selection of their presidential electors, I expect that in due time the American people will take away the state legislature role in choosing a president, in one way or another. I will regret the loss of political community that might follow uniform standards for redistricting by equal population, contiguous boundaries, compact shapes, and respecting political boundaries aligned with the state geography.

The College was and is a compromise, and it seems hardly surprising that in every generation the compromise will be questioned, and that talk of recalibration will arise, this is especially so in that ideas of what or who a democracy encompasses, change. <a href="/wiki/User:Alanscottwalker" title="User:Alanscottwalker">Alanscottwalker</a> (<a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#top">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alanscottwalker#c-Alanscottwalker-2020-11-16T18:11:00.000Z-TheVirginiaHistorian-2020-11-16T16:46:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:11, 16 November 2020 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Alanscottwalker-2020-11-16T18:11:00.000Z-TheVirginiaHistorian-2020-11-16T16:46:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-11-16T18:11:00.000Z","author":"Alanscottwalker","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Alanscottwalker-2020-11-16T18:11:00.000Z-TheVirginiaHistorian-2020-11-16T16:46:00.000Z","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Alanscottwalker-2020-11-16T18:11:00.000Z-TheVirginiaHistorian-2020-11-16T16:46:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Gerda_Arendt-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-WP_20-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z","replies":["c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z-WP_20","c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-01-28T13:12:00.000Z-WP_20"],"text":"WP 20","linkableTitle":"WP 20"}--><h2 id="WP_20" data-mw-thread-id="h-WP_20-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-WP_20-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z"></span>WP 20<span data-mw-comment-end="h-WP_20-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Alanscottwalker&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: WP 20"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Gerda_Arendt-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-WP_20-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z","replies":["c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z-WP_20","c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-01-28T13:12:00.000Z-WP_20"]}}--><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><!--__DTLATESTCOMMENTTHREAD__{"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-01-28T13:12:00.000Z-WP_20","timestamp":"2021-01-28T13:12:00.000Z"}__--><!--__DTCOMMENTCOUNT__2__--><!--__DTAUTHORCOUNT__1__--></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Gerda_Arendt-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-WP_20-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z","replies":["c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z-WP_20","c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-01-28T13:12:00.000Z-WP_20"],"text":"WP 20","linkableTitle":"WP 20"}--></div></div></div> <span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-01-15T19:24:00.000Z-WP_20"></span><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1257001546"><table class="infobox nowrap plainlist" style="width:auto; background-color:#ddd; border:5px solid #ddd; box-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.5em rgba(0,0,0,0.75);; border-radius:0.5em;"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-image"><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Frameless"><a href="/wiki/File:Nettles_in_frost,_Ehrenbach.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/Nettles_in_frost%2C_Ehrenbach.jpg/220px-Nettles_in_frost%2C_Ehrenbach.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/Nettles_in_frost%2C_Ehrenbach.jpg/330px-Nettles_in_frost%2C_Ehrenbach.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/Nettles_in_frost%2C_Ehrenbach.jpg/440px-Nettles_in_frost%2C_Ehrenbach.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4000" data-file-height="3000"/></a></span></td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Thank for your help with <a href="/wiki/Jerome_Kohl" title="Jerome Kohl">Jerome Kohl</a>! - Happy Wikipedia 20, - proud of a little bit on the Main page today, and 5 years ago, and 10 years ago, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Gerda_Arendt&oldid=1000572888">look</a>: create a new style - revive - complete!

Former NARA employee here. One certificate is for public inspection as mandated by law - that is what is uploaded. There is a difference between a certificate of vote and ascertainment hence why my edit says "certificate of vote." However, since in the immediate one is available to the public - there is no real difference in the change made. Furthermore, I was simply replacing a certificate of vote from 2012 from one from 2020, hardly a controversial edit. Please refrain from making subtle jabs at other users.

Sorry, I did not think the image was controversial, I thought it was redundant, uninformative of the Process, and ultimately misleading in its redundancy.

This creates a risk adverse and high stakes atmosphere.</i></li><li>Admin permissions and unbundling<br/> <i>There is a large gap between the permissions an editor can obtain and the admin toolset. This brings increased scrutiny for RFA candidates, as editors evaluate their feasibility in lots of areas.</i></li><li>RfA should not be the only road to adminship<br/> <i>Right now, RfA is the only way we can get new admins, but it doesn't have to be.</i></li></ol></div> <p><i><b>Please consider joining the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2021_review/Brainstorming" title="Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2021 review/Brainstorming">brainstorming</a></b></i> which will last for the next 1-2 weeks.

The Emancipation Proclamation did not end the institution of slavery in areas under Confederate control. It just freed the slaves currently held there — an action enforced by Union forces as they moved through the south. ("...all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State...shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.") Slavery as an 'institution' continued until it was legally eliminated by individual states or by the 13th Amendment. That's one reason former Confederate states were required to ratify the 13th as a condition of readmission. </p><p>For example, if someone who owned a slave in a non-emancipated place (like, say, Kentucky, Delaware, or New Orleans) moved them to a place covered by the Proclamation (say, Alabama or Georgia), that slave was still a slave under the law. That's why the individual state changes and 13th Amendment were necessary: to end the institution itself. The Proclamation was the equivalent of a governor commuting the sentences of everyone on his state's Death Row: It protects everyone currently facing a death sentence, but it doesn't ban the death penalty or prevent future people from being sentenced to death. <a href="/wiki/User:Flaggingwill" title="User:Flaggingwill">Flaggingwill</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Flaggingwill" title="User talk:Flaggingwill">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alanscottwalker#c-Flaggingwill-2021-11-29T13:09:00.000Z-End_of_slavery_in_former_Confederate_states" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:09, 29 November 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Flaggingwill-2021-11-29T13:09:00.000Z-End_of_slavery_in_former_Confederate_states"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-11-29T13:09:00.000Z","author":"Flaggingwill","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Flaggingwill-2021-11-29T13:09:00.000Z-End_of_slavery_in_former_Confederate_states","replies":["c-Alanscottwalker-2021-11-29T19:21:00.000Z-Flaggingwill-2021-11-29T13:09:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Flaggingwill-2021-11-29T13:09:00.000Z-End_of_slavery_in_former_Confederate_states"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Alanscottwalker-2021-11-29T19:21:00.000Z-Flaggingwill-2021-11-29T13:09:00.000Z"></span>Not convinced.

Neither the Proclamation nor Union military control "ended slavery" anywhere, legally speaking. Black leaders, as well as Northern Republicans, expressed fears that as soon as Union forces returned home, freedmen would be re-enslaved so long as slavery was still on the books as legal. (From the Toledo Blade: "When the rebellion is suppressed, the same Constitution will be operative as before. Although every Slave in the South be emancipated, <i>the institution in its legal sense would not be destroyed</i>. The Slaves, if they remained in the States, could all be reenslaved as soon as the army that liberated them was removed.") The Proclamation had been made in the narrow context of Lincoln's war powers, and those powers would at some point end.</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>The Wade–Davis manifesto in 1864 specifically complained that Lincoln's Reconstruction plan "does not secure the abolition of Slavery; for the proclamation of freedom merely professed to free certain slaves, while it recognized the institution. Every constitution of the rebel States at the outbreak of the rebellion may be adopted without the change of a letter, for none of them contravene that proclamation." The whole point of each of the state actions in this article, as well as the 13th, was to remedy the fact that slavery 'as an institution' was still legal until it was made illegal by state or federal legislation. A few months before Lincoln was shot, his Secretary of State William Seward made a speech that made it very clear slavery in the Confederate states would still be a live matter at the war's end:</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>While the rebels continue to wage war against the Government of the United States, the military measures affecting Slavery, which have been adopted from necessity, to bring the war to a speedy and successful end, will be continued, except so far as practical experience shall show that they can be modified advantageously, with a view to the same end. <i>When the insurgents shall have disbanded their armies, and laid down their arms</i>, the war will instantly cease, and all the war measures then existing, <i>including those which affect Slavery</i>, will cease also, and all the moral, economical and political questions, as well questions affecting Slavery as others which shall then be existing between individuals and States and the Federal Government, whether they arose before the civil war began, or whether they grew out of it, will, by force of the Constitution, <i>pass over to the arbitrament of courts of law, and to the councils of legislation</i>.</p></blockquote></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>And here's his Interior Secretary John P.

Martial law did end slavery, and you can quibble about it not being civil law, but that does not matter - it was the law of the land and it did end slavery. And Lincoln insisted that for a state to ever get out of being under martial law it had to affrim the EP. It seems like you contend the Emancipation Proclamation was illegal, and the courts would have found it illegal, but that is a pipe dream. And of course no court did find the Emancipation Proclamation illegal. Indeed, people argued for more beyond martial law, but that does not mean that martial law where it was in effect did not end slavery - in law, and ´´in fact´´ it did. (Nor did martial law end when the war ended, in some ways it only just began.) By law, martial law ended slavery where it was in effect, or as predicted there would have been nothing to be in court to fight over afterward, were it ever to get to court. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Alanscottwalker" title="User:Alanscottwalker">Alanscottwalker</a> (<a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#top">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alanscottwalker#c-Alanscottwalker-2021-12-01T19:50:00.000Z-Flaggingwill-2021-12-01T19:09:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:50, 1 December 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Alanscottwalker-2021-12-01T19:50:00.000Z-Flaggingwill-2021-12-01T19:09:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-12-01T19:50:00.000Z","author":"Alanscottwalker","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Alanscottwalker-2021-12-01T19:50:00.000Z-Flaggingwill-2021-12-01T19:09:00.000Z","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Alanscottwalker-2021-12-01T19:50:00.000Z-Flaggingwill-2021-12-01T19:09:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-DPL_bot-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_December_3-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z","replies":["c-DPL_bot-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_December_3"],"text":"Disambiguation link notification for December 3","linkableTitle":"Disambiguation link notification for December 3"}--><h2 id="Disambiguation_link_notification_for_December_3" data-mw-thread-id="h-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_December_3-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_December_3-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z"></span>Disambiguation link notification for December 3<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_December_3-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Alanscottwalker&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Disambiguation link notification for December 3"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-DPL_bot-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_December_3-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z","replies":["c-DPL_bot-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_December_3"]}}--><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><!--__DTLATESTCOMMENTTHREAD__{"id":"c-DPL_bot-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_December_3","timestamp":"2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z"}__--><!--__DTCOMMENTCOUNT__1__--><!--__DTAUTHORCOUNT__1__--></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-DPL_bot-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_December_3-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z","replies":["c-DPL_bot-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_December_3"],"text":"Disambiguation link notification for December 3","linkableTitle":"Disambiguation link notification for December 3"}--></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-DPL_bot-2021-12-03T05:55:00.000Z-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_December_3"></span>An automated process has detected that when you recently edited <a href="/wiki/John_H._Johnson" title="John H.

If you've been editing in controversial areas for 12 years the number of times you get mentioned adds up. And here's another false insinuation - most of these mentions don't even have anything to do with Eastern Europe. They're about Donald Trump, or Race and Intelligence, or Economics, or Mexican history or some other unrelated topic.

Also, the number of politics-related articles has proliferated to such an extent that the relatively small number of well-informed editors is spread too thin. They are easily overwhelmed by perhaps well-intentioned, perhaps partisan, newcomers.<a href="/wiki/User:SPECIFICO" title="User:SPECIFICO"><b style="color: #0011FF;"> SPECIFICO</b></a><a

Instead of changing "Congress" to "the House of Representatives," I considered changing "By late 1864" to "In 1864," and leaving it as "Congress." But I have no evidence that Lincoln lobbied the Senate as he did the House. I have the Holzer and Gabbard book, and the pages cited do not mention the Senate. Neither does another relevant essay in the book. </p><p>Also, the book is a collection of essays, and the footnote should cite the essays and then say "in Holzer and Gabbard." I didn't make that edit, because I am not familiar with the abbreviated form of the footnote, and I'd have to redo the footnote in an unabbreviated form. If you'd like to work on this, the essay that includes 172-174 is Belz, Herman, "The Constitution, the Amendment Process, and the Abolition of Slavery." But equally relevant is Vorenberg, Michael, "The Thirteenth Amendment Enacted," pp. 180-182.

As general context (not for this Civil War article) Lincoln was very much keyed to election promises/mandates, he ran on non-expansion of slavery in 1860 and would not bend on that when he won, even to avert the civil war; he ran on the 13th amendment in 1864, and pursued it when he won in November. Also, Lincoln generally ascribed to an older Whiggish institutional philosophy where the law making lead was in the people's legislature, while the executive was more suggestive in that regard (whereas, the suppression of the rebellion power was in the executive). <a href="/wiki/User:Alanscottwalker" title="User:Alanscottwalker">Alanscottwalker</a> (<a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#top">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alanscottwalker#c-Alanscottwalker-20220813150300-Maurice_Magnus-20220813002800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:03, 13 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Alanscottwalker-20220813150300-Maurice_Magnus-20220813002800"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20220813150300","author":"Alanscottwalker","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Alanscottwalker-20220813150300-Maurice_Magnus-20220813002800","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Alanscottwalker-20220813150300-Maurice_Magnus-20220813002800"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Maurice_Magnus-20220827011000","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Did_the_South_secede?-20220827011000","replies":["c-Maurice_Magnus-20220827011000-Did_the_South_secede?"],"text":"Did the South secede?","linkableTitle":"Did the South secede?"}--><h2 id="Did_the_South_secede?" data-mw-thread-id="h-Did_the_South_secede?-20220827011000"><span id="Did_the_South_secede.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Did_the_South_secede?-20220827011000"></span>Did the South secede?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Did_the_South_secede?-20220827011000"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Alanscottwalker&action=edit&section=45" title="Edit section: Did the South secede?"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Maurice_Magnus-20220827011000","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Did_the_South_secede?-20220827011000","replies":["c-Maurice_Magnus-20220827011000-Did_the_South_secede?"]}}--><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><!--__DTLATESTCOMMENTTHREAD__{"id":"c-Maurice_Magnus-20220827011000-Did_the_South_secede?","timestamp":"20220827011000"}__--><!--__DTCOMMENTCOUNT__1__--><!--__DTAUTHORCOUNT__1__--></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Maurice_Magnus-20220827011000","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Did_the_South_secede?-20220827011000","replies":["c-Maurice_Magnus-20220827011000-Did_the_South_secede?"],"text":"Did the South secede?","linkableTitle":"Did the South secede?"}--></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Maurice_Magnus-20220827011000-Did_the_South_secede?"></span>Please see my comment at Talk:American Civil War - Wikipedia.

But any reader who was unfamiliar with the comment or had forgotten it might be confused by Wikipedia first quoting Lincoln advocating Black suffrage and then stating that Booth reacted by wanting to kill Lincoln for supporting Black citizenship. I propose that we change "became determined to kill Lincoln for supporting citizenship for blacks. Booth is reported to have remarked: 'That is the last speech he will ever make'" to "and reacted by saying, 'That means nigger citizenship. Now, by God, I'll put him through. That is the last speech he will ever make.'" I would footnote that to Ronald White's <i>A. Lincoln</i>, p. 672. Would you go along with that?

Nor do I find any record of it from any reliable source, or any source at all on Google, Bing, or Yahoo Search. I considered that you meant that Hampton was posthumously pardoned, but I can't find any record of this either.</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <p>On the contrary, the USA Today article by Rasha Ali from 13 Feb 2021 entitled "Fact-checking 'Judas and the Black Messiah': Was Fred Hampton drugged or arrested for ice cream?" concludes discussion of the matter by stating "The Black Panther Party leader denied Suitt's accusations and claimed he was denied a fair trial. Regardless, Hampton spent some time in prison.". There is no mention of a later dropping of charges or pardon. </p><p>However, the matter was appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court. They upheld the decision of Cook County, and their affirmation is linked below. Either I've made a major oversight, in which case I welcome a citation, or Hampton was never pardoned, and the charges were never dropped. </p><p>I'll be happy to see some links to citations if you have them, since the fact Hampton's charges were dropped, if true, is not even mentioned on his Wikipedia page to date. I won't revert the Fred Hampton page back until we've actually sorted out the question of whether his charges were dropped, whether he was pardoned, or not. Of course, if they weren't dropped, it makes no logical sense to include one individual's felon status in their introductory sentence and not another. This fact should either be stated on both Hampton and Duke's opening sentences (as it's stated on the pages of other individuals), or it should be stated in neither. Given the strongly negative connotations of a felony conviction, I err on the side of neither. </p><p><a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://law.justia.com/cases/illinois/supreme-court/1969/42474-5.html">https://law.justia.com/cases/illinois/supreme-court/1969/42474-5.html</a> <a href="/wiki/User:Philomathes2357" title="User:Philomathes2357">Philomathes2357</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Philomathes2357" title="User talk:Philomathes2357">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alanscottwalker#c-Philomathes2357-20221217042400-Stating_an_individual's_convicted_felon_status_in_the_opening_paragraph" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:24, 17 December 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Philomathes2357-20221217042400-Stating_an_individual's_convicted_felon_status_in_the_opening_paragraph"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20221217042400","author":"Philomathes2357","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Philomathes2357-20221217042400-Stating_an_individual's_convicted_felon_status_in_the_opening_paragraph","replies":["c-Philomathes2357-20221218213300-Philomathes2357-20221217042400","c-Doug_Weller-20221220104800-Philomathes2357-20221217042400"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Philomathes2357-20221217042400-Stating_an_individual's_convicted_felon_status_in_the_opening_paragraph"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Philomathes2357-20221218213300-Philomathes2357-20221217042400"></span>Hi all. I see that Alanscottwalker took it upon himself to re-revert my edit to the Fred Hampton page, even though nobody has challenged anything I said above. The only reason I took matters into my own hands and edited the page was because I interpreted a lack of communication as tacit agreement - since we're all on the same page that Fred Hampton's convicted felon status was never dropped (unless evidence can be presented) we can agree that it is pertinent, even though it's mentioned later in the article.</dd> <dd>Another reason I thought this was agreed upon is that David Duke's page, which I picked at random from a sample of pages that include "convicted felon" in the opening sentence, was reverted when I removed the "convicted felon" piece, suggesting that the consensus was that "convicted felon", if the charges have not been dropped or expunged, is pertinent and important information to include in the introductory sentence.</dd> <dd>I cannot see any reason whatsoever beyond raw editorial bias why "convicted felon" should be included in *some* opening sentences, while buried in the body of other bios. Either "convicted felon" should be included in the summary of every individual who's been convicted of a felony, or it's not appropriate to do so, and any criminal background should be relegated to the body of the bio, while leaving the introductory sentence to provide a more general overview of *why* this individual is significant enough to warrant a Wikipedia article.</dd> <dd>If anything, you could argue that Hampton's felony conviction is *more* significant than Duke's, since Hampton's incident allegedly involved physical violence and Duke's is tax and finance related. But again, I think a clear policy or rule of thumb needs to be developed on this issue, rather than shooting from the hip and letting the specter of editorial bias sneak in.</dd> <dd>I propose to remove the statement "convicted felon" from the opening sentence of David Duke's page, as well as every other page in which similar language is used, unless a person's convicted felon status is a major part of what makes them significant public figures (i.e. Jeffrey Epstein). I believe that is the most reasonable policy in regards to announcing an individual's felon status in the first sentence. If anyone wants to chime in, great, otherwise I'll go forward, and hope for an honest engagement rather than snark and misinformation. <a href="/wiki/User:Philomathes2357" title="User:Philomathes2357">Philomathes2357</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Philomathes2357" title="User talk:Philomathes2357">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alanscottwalker#c-Philomathes2357-20221218213300-Philomathes2357-20221217042400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:33, 18 December 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Philomathes2357-20221218213300-Philomathes2357-20221217042400"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20221218213300","author":"Philomathes2357","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Philomathes2357-20221218213300-Philomathes2357-20221217042400","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Philomathes2357-20221218213300-Philomathes2357-20221217042400"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Doug_Weller-20221220104800-Philomathes2357-20221217042400"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Philomathes2357" title="User:Philomathes2357">Philomathes2357</a> I see the word felony only once:" In exchange for having his felony charges dropped and receiving a monthly stipend, O'Neal agreed to infiltrate the BPP as a counterintelligence operative.". <a href="/wiki/User:Doug_Weller" title="User:Doug Weller"><span style="color:#070">Doug Weller</span></a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Doug_Weller" title="User talk:Doug Weller">talk</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alanscottwalker#c-Doug_Weller-20221220104800-Philomathes2357-20221217042400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:48, 20 December 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Doug_Weller-20221220104800-Philomathes2357-20221217042400"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20221220104800","author":"Doug Weller","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Doug_Weller-20221220104800-Philomathes2357-20221217042400","replies":["c-Doug_Weller-20221220105200-Doug_Weller-20221220104800"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Doug_Weller-20221220104800-Philomathes2357-20221217042400"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Doug_Weller-20221220105200-Doug_Weller-20221220104800"></span>You can't create policy, which is what you seem to be trying to do.

He wasn't convicted of "ordinary assault", he was convicted of robbery, which most certainly *is* a felony. I'm glad you pointed out this omission, as it shows that the body of the Hampton article needs work, too. I think the exact charge he was convicted of belongs in the body, but the phrase "convicted felon" shouldn't be in the lead - here or anywhere. <a href="/wiki/User:Philomathes2357" title="User:Philomathes2357">Philomathes2357</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Philomathes2357" title="User talk:Philomathes2357">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alanscottwalker#c-Philomathes2357-20221220172700-Doug_Weller-20221220170800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:27, 20 December 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Philomathes2357-20221220172700-Doug_Weller-20221220170800"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20221220172700","author":"Philomathes2357","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Philomathes2357-20221220172700-Doug_Weller-20221220170800","replies":["c-Doug_Weller-20221220175000-Philomathes2357-20221220172700"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Philomathes2357-20221220172700-Doug_Weller-20221220170800"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Doug_Weller-20221220175000-Philomathes2357-20221220172700"></span>So he was.

I noticed you recently did some copyediting on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange article. I recently posted a request on the article's [<a href="/wiki/Talk:Chicago_Mercantile_Exchange" title="Talk:Chicago Mercantile Exchange">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Chicago_Mercantile_Exchange</a> Talk page] concerning the Mergers and Productions sections that I'm hoping you could take a look at. I have a conflict of interest, so I'm not going to be editing the article directly. Any feedback you can provide would be appreciated! ~~~~ <a href="/wiki/User:Lbischel" title="User:Lbischel">Lbischel</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Lbischel" title="User talk:Lbischel">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alanscottwalker#c-Lbischel-20230123193900-Chicago_Mercantile_Exchange_page_request" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:39, 23 January 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Lbischel-20230123193900-Chicago_Mercantile_Exchange_page_request"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230123193900","author":"Lbischel","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Lbischel-20230123193900-Chicago_Mercantile_Exchange_page_request","replies":["c-Lbischel-20230331171200-Lbischel-20230123193900"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Lbischel-20230123193900-Chicago_Mercantile_Exchange_page_request"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Lbischel-20230331171200-Lbischel-20230123193900"></span>Hi <a href="/wiki/User:Alanscottwalker" title="User:Alanscottwalker">Alanscottwalker</a>, just checking to see if you've had a chance to review the <a href="/wiki/Talk:Chicago_Mercantile_Exchange#Request_for_article_update" title="Talk:Chicago Mercantile Exchange">proposed</a> update to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange article's Products section.

Just because the Harlem River also exists, in no way means that the Harlem Ship Canal does not exist. Indeed, that claim of yours is complete nonsense. As already discussed on the article talk page, the canal does exist and its what's in the picture of Marble Hill. The canal has existed ever since it was dug, and it exists today, it's never moved. The Harlem Ship Canal, the man-made channel south of Marble Hill, that separates it from Manhattan, is very much completely still there. And where it is today, is practically the most important thing that explains Marble Hill, Manhattan (like why it's part of Manhattan). <a href="/wiki/User:Alanscottwalker"

I suspect you refer to ontology as in the study of what is. This is in opposition to a study of knowledge (about what is) and how we know, etc. It would make sense that the agreements have to be at this other level. Now, assuming I am not totally lost, I still need to understand why you say "outside ourselves". Perhaps, you mean outside ourselves as individuals. That would make sense, because it has to be intersubjective if it is shared. That is interesting, because it is both intersubjective (outside ourselves) and yet not ontological. <a href="/wiki/User:Dominic_Mayers" title="User:Dominic Mayers">Dominic Mayers</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Dominic_Mayers" title="User talk:Dominic Mayers">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alanscottwalker#c-Dominic_Mayers-20240604145200-Outside_ourselves_and_not_ontological_in_which_sense?_It_seems_interesting." class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:52, 4 June 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Dominic_Mayers-20240604145200-Outside_ourselves_and_not_ontological_in_which_sense?_It_seems_interesting."><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240604145200","author":"Dominic Mayers","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Dominic_Mayers-20240604145200-Outside_ourselves_and_not_ontological_in_which_sense?_It_seems_interesting.","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Dominic_Mayers-20240604145200-Outside_ourselves_and_not_ontological_in_which_sense?_It_seems_interesting."></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Dominic_Mayers-20240604151700-Outside_ourselves_and_not_ontological_in_which_sense?_It_seems_interesting."></span>Note added: Ah ! I think you wanted me to be aware that there is a serious challenge when we discuss a policy. Yep, this is deep. It is not obvious at all from where to start to obtain these agreements.
