Honorifics in lists of politicians
[edit]Hi Draja1. Since you've edited one or more of List of current members of the British Privy Council, British Government frontbench and Official Opposition frontbench in the last six months, I'd like to invite you to a discussion about the use of honorifics in those lists. The discussion is happening here, and I look forward to a helpful and robust discussion. DBD 21:05, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
Sources
[edit]Hello, can you please add your sources to Charente's 4th constituency? If you ping/message me when it's done, I'll review it, so it can be indexed by Google. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 18:44, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
- Can you please respond to this? Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 19:07, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Constituency articles
[edit](1) this still includes the parties – just abbreviates the names for compactness, (2) there is no "standard template", and WP:E&R has been moving in the direction of deprecating the {{election table}} template in more recent elections, and (3) the current articles lack some updates and links to notable individuals, which you're also removing. (And yes, I know the French presidential/legislative election articles use the versions with the full names, and that's because I wrote them and it makes sense to at least use the whole names in those instances... but I don't think they're actually necessary on these individual constituency articles as they take up needless space when the links are accessible to readers – and in any case, the "default" election table templates use abbreviated names anyway.)

German constituency articles
[edit]Hello Draja. Thanks for your recent additions to German constituencies. However, the results tables you're adding are very confusing. For example, why do some parties have two separate vote figures given (e.g. in Konstanz (electoral district))? And why are there no candidate names? Number 57 23:10, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello Number 57. Germany elects candidates by constituency and regional ballot - the first vote is for the constituency member of the Bundestag, and the second contributes to the MMP balancing MPs that are elected. Candidate names are not released by the German Federal Returning Officer due to GDPR regulation (mind boggling, I know)! Draja1 01:35, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
Frankfurt (Oder) – Oder-Spree moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you created 18 October 2018, Frankfurt (Oder) – Oder-Spree, does not have enough content, sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more content and citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Greenman (talk) 13:28, 10 July 2021 (UTC)Template for 2024 French legislative results on constituency pages
[edit]Hi there, I was one of the primary editors adding results from the 2022 legislative elections to constituency pages and am interested in discussing which template/table is best for presenting the 2024 results, since you recently replaced the template I had used for 2022 results with a table.
I had thought the template had its benefits as candidates could specifically be listed by alliance, which is becoming a larger feature of the elections, but there may well be benefits to using the table lay-out instead. (Another editor recently changed the Ain pages to remove the alliances for the 2022 results, but the template is used on all other constituency pages.)
ChristyMcMorrow (talk) 00:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hey! I absolutely agree that it is very important to include the party alliances in the listings. The only reason I prefer the table layout is (apart from that of 2022) is that it details more information such as abstention rates, registered voters, blank votes, and spoiled votes - which can be very important in understanding the story of an election in the two round system.
- I am planning on working through the 2022 results so that each page is standardised going forward, as on most pages 2017 and 2012 were also table format. UKEDTOR24 (talk) 19:06, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hey there, thanks for the reply. Personally I think the template for 2022 is more aesthetic, while also providing the detail you mention, but I'm content to work with the tables that do include alliances. For one, they are definitely easier to add and edit than the template. ChristyMcMorrow (talk) 00:10, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Using tables for the 2024 French election results
[edit]Hi there. I am one of the primary editors that was adding election results from the 2022 French legislative election (and results prior to that) and have currently been adding candidate lists for French electoral constituencies for the upcoming 2024 French legislative elections. I have seen that you have also been doing this, although have been using a different set-up for this, opting to use a table format instead of the standard 2-round election box template.
Whilst I have no qualms about the table format itself, I must raise that it does not include a percentage increase/decrease from prior elections. I believe this is a critical piece of information that is lost in the tables you have been using. However, there do exist tables that include percentage changes that are used to present French two-round election results, like the ones found on the List of by-elections to the 15th National Assembly of France article.
Would you be able to incorporate that style of table into your candidate lists? If you don't, it ultimately makes more work for other edits like myself who will eventually have to go through and edit your tables to add the percentage increase/decreases - not a task anyone looks forward to when there are 577 constituencies to go through!
Alternatively, you could switch to the standard election box template, which has the ability to add additional information beyond what I already add (currently I add turnout and, recently, have started adding registered electors, but there are election box templates for all kinds of information, eg. rejected ballots, total valid votes etc). The election box template is also far, far easier to understsand and edit from a coding perspective. It is also easily and quickly duplicatable (I have a blank template which copy/pasting allows me to churn out election boxes at a breakneck pace).
Whatever you decide, please let me know. It would be good to co-ordinate and syncronize with like-minded editors such as yourself to reach a consensus on how best to present the election results of the upcoming legislative election on Wikipedia.
Have a great day!
Into oblivion (talk) 07:18, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hey! Thanks for your message!
- Absolutely happy to start using the table template mentioned in the by-elections article. Thank you for flagging this - it is best of both worlds, incorporating key vote change information, and the important picture that is painted by including detailed turnout, blank and null vote counts.
- Will start utilising this now, and will tidy up previously completed constituencies afterwards.
- I appreciate your message - cheers! UKEDTOR24 (talk) 05:48, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Great! I have actually been practicising using the table format for 2-round results myself and have found it much cleaner and easier on the eye. I had to modify the table somewhat for pre-2012 elections where blank and null votes are either not reported separately or lumped together as invalid votes, but apart from that the tables should be very similar to the ones already in use. See Seine-Maritime's 3rd constituency for my attempts at this.
- Thanks again for helping put candidate lists up on Wikipedia. The time you have put into this is very much appreciated. Not long now until the 1st round!
