Decline reason:

The only block I see that might have affected you is only on a handful of talk pages, and you seem to have switched IPs to get around the one page among those you've ever edited, so I don't see any reason to modify that block. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 22:26, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To KlayCax: edit war[edit]

Hi @KlayCax:. I currently am unable to post on your talkpage due to certain IP address ranges being broadly blocked from editing certain talk pages. But I wanted to once again warn you about your edit warring on a few pages right now. I am sure you are well aware of Wikipedia’s policy on it by now. It is especially disruptive when your edit warring is against the already agreed upon consensus. For example, there is absolutely no consensus to include third party candidates that do not consistently poll at at least 5%. Prcc27 (talk) 01:51, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Threshold for third party candidates, 2024 United States presidential election[edit]

I read the RfC on the criteria for including third party candidates, and I honestly do not see that there have a clear and solid consensus on this matter, mainly regarding the minimum percentage in the polls that a candidate must have to be included in the infobox. On this particular point, I believe that the discussion and the time to discuss it was short, and that the interventions that were made were a bit confusing, as some did not quite decide between 5% and 10%.

Honestly, I think 5% is too low a threshold. Third party candidates tend to be above 5% in the months leading up to the election and drop off as election day approaches. A very clear example was candidate Gary Johnson in 2016. In the months leading up to the election polls consistently showed him above 5%, there were even several polls that had him above 10%. However, Gary Johnson only received 3% of the vote. So I think this issue should be further explored and discussed.

In my personal opinion, I believe the threshold should be 15%, the same threshold that the Commission on Presidential Debates imposes on third party candidates in order for them to participate in debates. Esterau16 (talk) 19:57, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Esterau16: If you feel the RfC was not closed properly, you are welcome to go to the closer’s talk page and/or request a review of the close. See WP:CLOSECHALLENGE. Prcc27 (talk) 01:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
