Hello to all fellow Wikipedians. GoodDay 22:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC).

This user has been on Misplaced Pages for 19 years, 1 month and 18 days.

You may be wondering why my archives only start at August 2007. The reason: I didn't archive my pages before that date, I merely deleted them (as I didn't know how to archive). Therefore, if anyone wishes to see material before August 2007? check out this talkpage's 'history'.

Hey!

Happy new year! May this year be brighter than the last! And, since I apparently mangled the talk-back feature (ten years on, and I still suck at wiki mark-up, etc.): I just wanted to let you know that I replied to your question at Talk:Luke Letlow. Have a good one! — Javert2113 (Siarad.|¤) 03:31, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@Javert2113: Happy 2021 to you, as well. GoodDay (talk) 05:35, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to my world

@RWB2020: & @Angry candy:, this is my solution for the intro to United Kingdom. Use "country" for the UK & use "constituent countries" for England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland. GoodDay (talk) 05:44, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@AussieWikiDan: See my suggestion 'above'. GoodDay (talk) 06:17, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for showing me how to bold and fix my talk page edit.108.30.187.155 (talk) 03:35, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

No prob. GoodDay (talk) 03:39, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

2020 Senate election

Hi,

I reverted your edits regarding the new senate majority leader. Because the Senate is now effectively 50/50 split, the party in control is reliant on the Vice President to break ties. The new Biden administration does not take office until January 20, so until that time, Republicans still have control of the Senate (because Mike Pence would have tie breaking power). Thus, no change in partisan control has happened as a result of the 2020 senate elections. The change will happen as a result of the presidential election, which is procedurally quite separate from the senate election. I hope this explanation helps. Brycecordry (talk) 15:24, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Apparently @Brycecordry: you didn't read my edit-summary. Please look over 2014 United States Senate elections, 2006 United States Senate elections, 1994 United States Senate elections etc, where there was a change in majority leaders. GoodDay (talk) 15:51, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, @GoodDay:. I did read the edit summary, and that is a good point. However, this 2020 senate election is unique, with an effective 50/50 split. The three elections you cited above are not 50/50 splits, even though there were changes in partisan control. This 50/50 split has not happened as the result of an election since the 2000 United States Senate elections. Thus, the general precedent used on the 2000 page should be followed. In 2000, Republicans were in control before the election, but due to the 50/50 split Democrats won control for a few weeks because Al Gore had tie-breaking power. This change in control (albeit temporary) was still reflected in the article. After the Bush administration was sworn in, control reverted back to the Republicans as Dick Cheney had the tie-breaking power thereafter. This year is different from 2000, in that Republicans have technically retained control of the senate (albeit only temporarily) as a result of the senate elections because of the Republican administration still being in office and able to break ties. Democrats will take control of the senate only after Kamala Harris becomes vice-president (and thus gains tie-breaking power). That would be an event related to the presidential election, not the senate election. As a result of this complicated procedural logic, McConnell actually remains majority leader after the senate election as the change in partisan control will technically happen in the middle of the term. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to reply again. Brycecordry (talk) 16:27, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Very well @Brycecordry:. Though you should put a note next to McConnell's name. GoodDay (talk) 16:30, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, @GoodDay:. I will see that an HTML comment is placed in the source to remind future editors. I will also see about placing a footnote to describe this procedural technicality. Thanx. Brycecordry (talk) 16:36, 7 January 2021 (UTC)]]
