Changing Wikipedia with my fingers crossed

[Hela]

I just updated the Speaker of the House on the Presidential line of succession page in Wikipedia. Go Nancy!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_line_of_succession?wteswitched=1

(Probably supposed to wait for January, but I can't stand looking at Paul Ryan's name there. I can't stand looking at just about all of the names there.)

1. Bummer -- didn't take

Welp, I guess I didn't do it correctly. Gave me a good time for a few minutes there.

2. Good try, anyway.

3. Good work!

The box next to her name is still red (repub), but her name looks good on that list.

4. Doesn't it?

When I went back, my change was there, so it must have just taken a few minutes to update.

I need to see if I can link to the Democratic Party entry the same way they have the Repugs listed.

Edited to add: Well, now it's back to Ryan again. I'm obviously doing something wrong!

8. No, if you look at the history tab

You’ll notice that someone is undoing your attempt to make the page factually incorrect.

5. She's not speaker yet. Why are you trying to make it incorrect?

6. Incidentally, you have just identified your IP address

...since Wikipedia logs the IP address of persons who edit pages without accounts.

7. Trying to falsely edit Wikipedia isn't cool.

Bad show.
