If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window.

[edit] Indiana District Six

(copied from user talk:tiggerjay))

I feel that my edit was constructive, and it is true I live in district six and people want Pence out. There is a very viable candidate on the Democratic side who, in 2006, as an unknown captured over 40 percent of the vote. Get your facts straight before you just change someone's edit. You do not own wikipedia. Get a Life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.220.197.7 (talk) 15:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I appologize for the mixup, however as you can see, your edit has been viewed by at least three other editors as being vandalism. As such, it would be in your interest to find out why people are removing your content and discuss the problem on the articles talk page instead of simply trying to force your point. Please see WP:BRD process, in which after someones's edit is reverted, then the process is to discuss, not to re-add the content. In the case of your edit, it appeared to be unsounrced origional research. What would have been a good idea would be to provide a citation or third party reference to your change. Going forward, please feel free to add a descriptive Edit Summary along with an inline citation; alternately please disucss on the talk page first. Tiggerjay (talk) 16:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
