| I reverted your change, let meexplain why. I have never heard that swearing in is retroactive... the bioguide lists election dates for inerim elected congressman but itdoesn;t say anything to the effect that swearing in is retroactive to that date... can you provide me with a decent source stating this... please bear in mind that other wikipedia elected offical pages using the election date as the staqrt date would not be positive evidence. Just because a mistake was made elswhere in wikipedia does not make it correct. Let me know.. Ithink you could be correct... I just need a citable source.--] (]) 21:34, 6 May 2008 (UTC) | I reverted your change, let meexplain why.

An Amusing AfD Debate
Hey, I wanted to say thanks for your closing down the AfD discussions on "Zhi has hemmorhoids" and that poor kid with his "King Adam" article. There is another AfD debate going on that's actually somewhat amusing: . I thought you would be interested in weighing in there. Cheers! Ecoleetage (talk) 01:44, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

GE Real Estate
When you encounter an article that seems promotional but with a subject that seems notable such as GE Real Estate, it is often better to use the {{Advert}} tag than G11, or alternatively to cut the article down to a stub. See Google News coverage of the company. I have nothing to do with GE Real Estate or General Electric, but I suspect that a company with $79 billion in assets is probably notable. It might be worthwhile to restore the article and remove any text which you regard as excessively promotional. --Eastmain (talk) 02:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

- I added some thoughts on Drwho's talk page. I think what we have is a conflict between two authoritative sources (Bioguide and the Clerk of the House/Secretary of the Senate) and no clear means of deciding which is "more authoritative." JTRH (talk) 22:36, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
