Infobox arrangement

Hi @TheMainLogan, I disagree with this reversal. MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE clearly states, "... information should be presented in a short format, wherever possible, and exclude unnecessary content", ~~and I don't think your edit provides any useful context~~. Thedarkknightli (talk) 03:55, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contrarily, I'd argue that my edit provides more context than yours. For example, I think "2000–present" gets the point across better than "from 2000". The latter could easily be interpreted as, for example, Fox only having U.S. citizenship in the year 2000. —theMainLogan (t•c) 04:12, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, never mind. I don't really have a problem with "2000–present". I still feel a need to use the abbreviation "US" instead of "United States", though. Thedarkknightli (talk) 04:44, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Claire McKaskill campaign ad

One of the citations leads to a "page not found" error. The ad is available on YouTube, would it be acceptable to use that as a supporting citation? QtheWhatever (talk) 06:20, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
