Thanks

Thank you a lot for helping me and giving me some advice, I'm still confused a little bit. How is it possible to find out turnout? Thanks again. Neverbuffed (talk) 17:47, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

For all these elections you need to work out turnout yourself. From info on the Cornwall Council website, you can do this by calculating Total votes / electorate, both of which can be found under the 'voting summary' heading. Also, rejected or unmarked ballots aren't generally used in turnout (and anyhow, the difference is often negligible). Happy editing, Gazamp (talk) 17:53, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Turns out rejected and unmarked ballots are included... Whoops! I'll go back and start fixing the pages as I get time Gazamp (talk) 11:58, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you

@Joseywales1961: Thank you! It's not too bad and, after all, someone has to do it... Gazamp (talk) 21:15, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject assessments

Can you possibly not using the redirect, such as "WP Ireland" but use the full "WikiProject Ireland", for your assessments and likewise for other projects? The full WikiProject thus avoids the redirect. Thanks ww2censor (talk) 00:36, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Will do from here on out - thanks for letting me know! Gazamp (talk) 12:06, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Cornwall Council wards

Hi, just a quick message in regards to your creation of article for wards of Cornwall County Council. Generally the articles are titled as Newlyn and Goonhavern (ward) instead of Newlyn and Goonhavern (electoral division), and furthermore, the Template:Infobox England and Wales ward is used instead of the one you have been using. Thanks – SɱαɾƚყPαɳƚʂ22 (Ⓣⓐⓛⓚ) 15:01, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

@SmartyPants22: Hi there! Thanks for your message. Regarding the use of 'electoral division' rather than 'ward', this is because that's what Cornwall Council uses, and what the pages in Category:Electoral Divisions of West Sussex (which I used as a template for the earlier articles) went by. Regarding the use of the ward infobox, I found the UK-place infobox to be easier to use quickly and better looking for the information I can find.

On both of these counts, I'm open to a wider discussion after I finish the rest; I'm currently working against the clock a little to complete the current divisions in case the sources start to disappear after re-districting at this May's elections. Personally, I don't feel that either of these factors have a great impact on users (though Category:Electoral divisions of England and Category:Wards of England might be better merged), so I'm really not fussed of going back through all of the articles I've made already and changing them. If there's anything else, do let me know! Thanks, Gazamp (talk) 19:00, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

SmartyPants22 and Gazamp I just saw this. Please note that we have the page Wards and electoral divisions of the United Kingdom, which explains the difference. I wouldn’t support using one of the two words, “wards” or “divisions”, to mean both. In particular, there is the problem of two-tier areas which have both wards and divisions, where the separation is useful and needs to be understood. Moonraker (talk) 12:06, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

@Moonraker: I didn't realise there was a clear difference, but it's useful to know for future reference - thank you! Gazamp (talk) 22:57, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
