Problems editing in new material (November, 2022)

Is anyone aware of any coding, constraints, or any other provisions of this article that would create a situation where existing edits and material here would be displaced by new edits? I attempted to edit in new and updated material on Carville working to defeat Pennsylvania Senator elect John Fetterman during this year's primary, and when I tried to do so, some of the existing sections at the bottom of the article were no longer visible. Many thanks in advance for any insight on this situation.CriticalChris CriticalChris 20:48, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Liz Cheney for speaker of the House

This without question is an opportunity for the Democrats to bring some sort of sanity back to the process. She is prune herself, moral and honest on the subjects of the past year without question. All of you have worked with her. This is a time sensitive situation. We must act always lose this opportunity once again.

+== Problems editing in new material (November, 2022) ==
-== Prejudiced ==
-Why was it necessary to mention that Carville speaks with a distinct Louisiana dialect?  This sounds a little bigoted to me.  Would the same contributor mention that someone from the Bronx speaks with a "distinct Bronx dialect"?[[User:TruthCounts|TruthCounts]] ([[User talk:TruthCounts|talk]])  <span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|undated]] comment was added at 03:23, 15 September 2008 (UTC).</span><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-His nickname is the "Ragin' Cajun".  Grow up and don't be so PC.  He is known for having a distinctive voice.  Its not offensive, unless of course you are suggesting there is something wrong with being from Louisiana.

-== Democrats to Rule for Next 40 Years? ==
-Will James Carville now say that he was wrong, after only one year??

-== Oil pipe repairs ==
-James I have been a fan of yours for years i dont no who else to contact
-Im just a working stiff Who works with boilers and run accross what we are dealing with in the Gulf.It seems they are trying to stop the oil from the inside of the pipe instead outside.Why not install a split ring couping With a larger pipe size that would clamp onto the out side of pipe.The larger pipe would extend past the damaged well pipe a nother flange with a valve that is open  can be attached to that and pressed together one complete valve would be closed and oil flow would stop. Sound s simple but it might work.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/69.253.210.200|69.253.210.200]] ([[User talk:69.253.210.200|talk]]) 17:24, 26 May 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-== Cajun ancestry ==
-I have removed the doubtful claim that he has Cajun ancestry.  I would welcome anyone who can cite an authoritative source on that, to put it back with a citation. [[User:Wjhonson|Wjhonson]] ([[User talk:Wjhonson|talk]]) 22:23, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
-::I'm not sure why the claim would be considered "doubtful"; a fairly large percentage of people from south Louisiana (and Carville is from there) do have Cajun ancestry (I don't know what the exact percentage is). However, I have no problem with the removal of the statement from the article. Maybe there's some reliable sourcing for the assertion about Carville, somewhere. [[User:Famspear|Famspear]] ([[User talk:Famspear|talk]]) 04:42, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
-== 30 Rock Episode ==
-Carville's quotes from the 30 Rock episode do not need to be cited, as the episode itself is cited in-text and will prove that he did say the things noted.

-== Fraternity membership? ==
-I have a digital copy of pages 236-237 of LSU's 1963 yearbook, the ''Gumbo''.  In it, the Sigma Nu fraternity lists a "C.J. Carville" as one of its members, and the corresponding picture is definitely of Carville.  I'd know his "unique" look anywhere.  I have looked at Sigma Nu's roster in the surrounding years, and he is listed and pictured only in 1963 and 1964, no other years, and I can't find anywhere else that he was a member of Sigma Nu, or any fraternity, for that matter.  Is the yearbook a sufficiently trustworthy source?  I can send/post the page from the yearbook if you would like, but I don't know what the rules are on all that.

-== Looking for someone to nominate this article for GA status ==
-Does anyone else think this article is up to GA status?--[[User:Bigpoliticsfan|Bigpoliticsfan]] ([[User talk:Bigpoliticsfan|talk]]) 00:37, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
-:I don't think it is up to GA status, but I think it is better than a C class article.  I really don't like the subject of the BLP, so I don't want to comment at length, or even suggest specific improvements to the article, as I am not neutral. No COI, just... not neutral.  As a general suggestion, [[User:Bigpoliticsfan|Bigpoliticsfan]], if you are still interested in seeing this BLP considered for GA status, I would update it with more of Carville's current work. There is a brief mention of his present affiliation with Fox News now, which is good, however, he does a lot more than that, as I seen him commenting on television (CNN etc. not just Fox) about Hillary Clinton's candidacy for the 2016 presidential elections, and her current activities in the Democratic primary race. Concentrate on getting the article improved, and I will be willing to recommend that it be upgraded to better than C class without a lot of work. Then try for GA, with editors that have a more NPOV than I do.--[[User:FeralOink|FeralOink]] ([[User talk:FeralOink|talk]]) 20:33, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

-Noticed some vandalism (7/30/19) by a mobile IP, suggesting Carville has a career in prostitution. I tried to revert it, but given that I'm pretty new to editing I'm not sure I've done it well/correctly. I'd much appreciate someone else taking a look and making sure.
