What is a politician and clean-up

• Judges and military officials are NOT politicians. They are not elected by the public and are appointed to serve in a non-partisan role.
• Keep entries in ALPHABETICAL order by their last name!
• List entries only once under proper category. Do not list twice on list. Please list under most recognized category. For example if subject has been both mayor and governor, please list him once under governor's and mention in blurb he was a former mayor of what city.
• Keep blurbs short. Articles will discuss subject's notability.
• Consolidated government roles. Keep state senators together, mayors, with mayors, and so on. No need for specific cities as they are all mayors of American cities, Please list years of service after blurb in order not to confuse reader that this is their life span.
• Per Misplaced Pages guidelines for notability, all entries should have an article with references. There is no need to list Armenian ancestry for a specific entry (e.g. Armenian mother) when their Misplaced Pages article will discuss it. They wouldn't be on the list if they weren't Armenian, wouldn't they?
• Use of portraits of Glendale mayors is unnecessary. Glendale is NOT one of the top 50 largest cities in the U.S., therefore it's just a hamlet when compared to LA or New York. Save server space and do not make the list graphically enhanced unless you plan on adding a compressed portrait composite (see Canadians for example of a composite picture) to the article.

Please post any comments on this page only. Many thanks!--XLR8TION (talk) 17:53, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

CLEAN UP #2

• Judges and military officials are NOT politicians. They are not elected by the public and are appointed to serve in a non-partisan role.
• Keep entries in ALPHABETICAL (per the English language) order by their last name!
• DO NOT ADD wikilinks for non-existing articles!
• DO NOT ADD diplomats, judges, military officials as they are NOT ELECTED and serve NON-PARTISAN ROLES. Please create a new page for list of Diplomats, judges, and military personalities but NO ONE elects them as they are NOT politicians.
• Keep mayors in one field. Glendale is a small city and all mayors should be kept together as state representatives, senators, etc.
• Please create composite of personalities and STOP adding unnecessary gallery of Glendale's mayors. This is my second attempt to relay message to you. You created a composite on Puerto Ricans in the United States, therefore do the same here. Please provide feedback on this page.
• Please add any terms served after the blurb, not before in order to prevent confusion with life-spans. For example: John Doe, mayor of Smithville (1997-2000).

This is my second clean-up. If you have any feedback or require assistance with the English language and proper grammar and site guidelines, please discuss on this page.--XLR8TION (talk) 20:02, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Clean UP #3

I have reverted your unconstructive edits. Please see this points from past discussions:

• DO NOT ADD wikilinks for non-existing articles!

Furthermore, do NOT add multiple Wiki-links for the same subject. Redundancy is not welcomed in any article. ONLY DISCUSS ON THIS PAGE and NOT on my talk page. --XLR8TION (talk) 22:46, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

You gotta be kidding me, right? Where do you see multiple Wiki-links and wikilinks for non-existing articles. I did remove them and you still reverted to yor last version. Please take a look at the current version and tell me what's wrong with it.

P.S. what's the problem with writing on your talk page? And stop your racist comments such as "Do you understand English?". --Երևանցի _{ասելիք կա՞} 23:02, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

All discussion on articles should be on the Article talk page! Their must be a history of conversation. My talk page is NOT for article discussion. RESPECT my TALK PAGE. Second, it's NOT racist to ask someone if they speak another language. It's apparent English is not your first, so please drop the racism label and stop with your ignorance.

It is racist to me and stop being aggressive. This is an encyclopedia and keep that in mind. Out of 7 billion people on our planet, as you may know, only about 400 million at most speak English natively and it's more than normal to speak another language. And it is your ignorance that have been shown here, not mine. Get your facts straight. --Երևանցի _{ասելիք կա՞} 23:22, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

REMEMBER:

• DO NOT ADD wikilinks for non-existing articles!
• DO NOT ADD multiple wikilinks for same topic! Redundancy is NOT productive.

Third, if entries on the list DO NOT have valid references they will be REMOVED. I will remove entries with NO references of their Armenian ancestry by this weekend. --XLR8TION (talk) 23:08, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Alright. I'll try to add reliable sources to each one of them today and tomorrow and then you can check the article on the weekend.--Երևանցի _{ասելիք կա՞} 23:12, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Defining 'politician'

Please take a look at Politician#Considered a politician. It clearly states that "Positions range from local offices to executive, legislative and judicial offices of state and national governments. Some law enforcement officers, such as sheriffs, are considered to be politicians."

THUS, all government officials, elected or not, including high-ranked military personnel, sheriffs, justices, are considered politicians.--Երևանցի _{ասելիք կա՞} 04:47, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
