Thank you for your constructive comments on the Republican Party article
[edit]Hi Toa, I want to thank you for your constructive comments on the Republican Party article. Your suggestion about organizing by caucuses and creation of a mockup was very helpful to the debate and really opened up my eyes as to other ways to potentially organize that section of the page. Once I have some more time I will respond with another mockup based off of yours that I think may satisfy all sides of this discussion. BootsED (talk) 15:11, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks BootsED! I'm glad it at least sparked something - I'm hoping we can come up with a solution that pleases (most) everyone here. Toa Nidhiki05 17:22, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Edit warring on GOP article
[edit]The GOP article is on 1RR. You have already violated that policy. I suggest you get consensus for your changes instead of doing that. Cortador (talk) 22:21, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- When? I haven’t even edited the page today. Multiple other editors are fine with the change, as it is, and I’ve been careful to avoid violating any rules. Perhaps you could discuss the reasons why you think the six sources in question are bad? The others don’t seem to think so. Toa Nidhiki05 23:20, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- You reverted twice on June 19. Cortador (talk) 09:25, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Just checked and no, I didn’t. I edited the page once that day?Toa Nidhiki05 12:02, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Here you go: 1 and 2. Cortador (talk) 14:37, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- You're right - that's borderline, but it shouldn't have happened. Toa Nidhiki05 14:58, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

- Got to admit, I was surprised to learn the GOP is center right in 2024. Any particular politicians or positions come to mind? Viriditas (talk) 22:39, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reliable sources indicate at least three House factions (Governance Coaliton, Study Committee, Main Street Caucus) are center or center-right while the freedom caucus is right-wing or far-right. It’s also the smallest of the bunch. I’m just going off of the sources, though. Toa Nidhiki05 23:24, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- On the face of it, that’s a very interesting argument, but I’m not sure how persuasive it is. I do admit, however, that some aspects of this are likely true. I heard an NPR segment about a week or so ago that addressed this; I will try and track it down. Viriditas (talk) 00:00, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Followup: NPR's website used to be easy to search, but I can find almost nothing now. I did find this article, but it's not the one I was talking about. I suspect the show I'm talking about is buried within the main site. I will keep looking. Viriditas (talk) 20:00, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's interesting enough - I'd heard they were finally pushing some outreach there. In the meantime, here's an interesting one from WaPo on House GOP factions. There is overlap between factions, but it's a really nice look at how things actually play out - and just how out of whack the Freedom Caucus (and specifically, the hardest fringe edge) is with everyone else. Toa Nidhiki05 20:54, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, I will read that article. I'm a bit unsettled by the fact that it is so hard to find archival news articles these days. I heard the segment 1-2 weeks ago, so it should be easy to find. Basically, it was a 3-4 minute interview with a GOP congressperson who was arguing (without using the words, of course) that there were still centrist Republicans willing to do bipartisan work with Democrats and get things done. Perhaps you can try to track it down. Viriditas (talk) 20:57, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Now I'm wondering if I heard it on the BBC, not NPR. Viriditas (talk) 20:58, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Republican Party page reverts
[edit]Hey, I just wanted to apologise for the pseudo-edit war we had on the GOP page. For some reason I rushed to conclusions and automatically assumed you had completely misinterpreted my comments and had only provided a source that the ECR and GOP were both part of the IDU — thus technically making them 'global partners'. As I said in a previous edit, I had previously searched for a source showing that they were affiliates, but I came up short (guess I missed the most obvious place one could look 😅)
Either way, I just wanted to say sorry for being so rash and for making such a mess of the page's edit summary. I was definitely in the wrong! Loytra (talk) 16:34, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- All good Loytra! I’ll admit I was a bit bewildered but the fact we were misunderstanding and reading past each other makes a lot of sense. Glad this is resolved! Toa Nidhiki05 16:47, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm glad too!
- Btw, just wanted to say that I love your signature! It takes skill to make one so unique and visually interesting yet not distracting or overbearing. Looks great! Loytra (talk) 13:38, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! I don't know how long ago I made it - probably decades at this point - but I've always loved how it looks. Probably one I'll stick with for decades to come. Toa Nidhiki05 17:52, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
You forgot to post a message on the talk page of the admin who initially sanctioned you. The appeal can't continue unless you do that. I'm not a clerk or anything. I just see how wordy the templates can be and understand how that could be missed. LakesideMinersCome Talk To Me! 09:46, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
