User:Number 57 and Election-related Infoboxes

[Midsize Jake]

We don't often mention User:Number 57 (T-C-L) around here, which might seem a little odd considering that he's an admin who edits articles about elections, since elections are becoming more important with each passing year. But he mostly edits articles about past elections, not current ones, and not just for Western countries, either. (Until now, he was probably best known here for this editing dispute with Laura Hale in 2014, which came up during the "Framban" business.)

Nevertheless, his tendency to remove what he considers "extraneous" or "unnecessary" information from the infoboxes on election articles has brought him to the attention of a moderately-popular Youtuber.



The Youtuber, "Noj" (who is also a rapper) doesn't appear to have a specific political agenda, and he doesn't even seem to be criticizing Mr. 57 all that stridently, though he does disagree with his removal of stuff from the infoboxes. Either way, he does seem to have put in a fair amount of work producing the video.
