Hi, I'd like to request that a bit more info be added to the article regarding Sittenfeld's ongoing Senate race. However, I have close family ties to the Sittenfeld campaign, so I'm making an edit request. This should be appended to the end of the "Life and career" section. Thanks,

On January 22, 2015, Sittenfeld announced his candidacy for
the U.S. Senate seat held by current
Republican United States Senator
Rob Portman in 2016.[1] One month later, former Ohio Governor
Ted Strickland announced his candidacy for the Democratic Senate primary as well.
Throughout his primary campaign, Sittenfeld focused heavily on
gun control issues, claiming he would support reforms such as a federal ban on assault weapons and more comprehensive background checks for gun purchasers.[2] On January 28, 2016, Sittenfeld announced a proposed amendment to the Ohio legislature to restore home-rule authority on gun control. His proposal would allow city governments within Ohio to enact their own gun control laws, a power which was removed by a 2006 state law.[3]
@
Crh23: Thanks, and no worries -- I've seen how full that backlog gets. FYI, I went ahead and added one more endorsement that came after my request, fixed a typo, and noted what election Sittenfeld lost in -- it's all in
this contribution. I figured these were small enough changes that I went ahead and made them now instead of throwing it back on the backlog. -

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
P.G. Sittenfeld. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Hey, just leaving a note to explain my conflict of interest. I know P.G. personally -- he's a friend as well as a coworker at the company DataRole. Besides my
edit request above, I've made a few edits to the page, but they're mostly trivial. Besides copy editing and tweaking templates, my changes are: I added the current photo, I added a missing endorsement in the 2016 Senate campaign endorsement list, and I added a sentence about him working at DataRole. If you dig way back in the page history, you'll see I also made some structural changes to the page back in May 2012 using my old account (
User:Oxguy3), but I didn't know P.G. personally at the time. -

move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Just like those examples, I think P.G.'s case should be treated as a self-published name change. In
a Cleveland.com article, he said he's been going by "P.G." since before he could talk. In reliable sources, you will never see him called Paul (or George or Alexander); the name "P.G." is treated like a standalone name that can't be broken into parts. To me, this case seems no different than any of the examples from MOS:INITIALS. –

This argument could be used to change pretty much all similar article titles for British individuals, since modern British English invariably omits the full stops (periods) between letters in abbreviations. However, due to our house style we use them for reasons of consistency. This is no different. --

How? In house style says that when a person has "a different, consistently preferred style for his or her own name" and "an overwhelming majority of reliable sources use that variant style" then that is the style that should be used. Given that ZERO use the current style, and 99.9 percent use the proposed one, which we know is his preferred one, by what argument does our style guide suggest we should use the current title. Which again, seems to be used in basically ZERO reliable sources!--
