Tom Graves?Hello Cwobeel, I saw you were included on the list of participants at WikiProject Politics, and that you have worked on GOP-related and conservative topics. With that in mind, I'd like to see if you can help with an article I've working on. I've made some suggestions on Rep. Tom Graves' Talk page about how his stance on abortion rights is handled, and would be grateful for someone else to review and, if it looks reasonable, to implement them. I'm looking to suggest changes there rather than making the edits myself as I have a conflict of interest. As I've disclosed on the Talk page for the article, I'm currently working as a paid consultant to Rep. Graves. Would you be able to take a look at my proposed edits and let me know what you think?

Legobot (talk) 00:01, 27 July 2015 (UTC) I could use your helpHi Cwobeel. Would you mind adding Shooting of Samuel DuBose to your watchlist.

Is something like that feasible in DuBose? ―Mandruss ☎ 01:50, 31 July 2015 (UTC) At 2:24 in the Tensing video is a shot with DuBose facing the camera. Not a great shot, but better than nothing imo. He was dead one minute later. ―Mandruss ☎ 02:01, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
