Kingston upon Hull North (UK Parliament constituency)

Hi, please note that "Date [adjectival form of country name] type election/referendum" (e.g. 2019 general election) is the correct ordering when referring to individuals elections, per WP:NCELECT. Mattythewhite (talk) 14:49, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I did not see this, but it seemed the majority of pages were formatted as General election <year> and that <year> general election was the outlier, so I followed that formatting. The former also flowed nicer?

I'll start making changes to <year> general election, but it's not a very nice format.

Gharbhain (talk) 15:00, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, although I don't get why it's "not a very nice format". In everyday conversation, I would naturally say "2019 general election", not "general election 2019". Mattythewhite (talk) 15:12, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Table titles aren't everyday conversation though. I mean, yeah, in the text in the articles it should be "2019 general election". I would personally go from general > specific from left to right. So, what it is (General election), when it is (2019) and where it is (Kingston upon...). Having the year at the front doesn't add anything, that I can think of?

Plus, imo, General election 2019 looks nicer.

Also, just noticed that the page you linked to is about article titles? Are you sure this also applies to tables?

UK Parliamentary Constituency results

Hi Gharbain. If the consensus is to put results from old to new I will update all the constituencies in Wales. Cheers Benawu2 (talk) 00:26, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Benawu2! No worries. I couldn't see anything in the style guide about it but it seemed to be the case when I asked on the talk page. I've had a look on similar pages for the US they seem to go oldest to newest, but similar pages for Ireland and Canada are newest to oldest. I don't know what the best way to do it is, but when I asked the answer I got was oldest to newest. Don't know if that is a consensus but that's what I'm going with! I'll leave the Welsh constituencies to you! Gharbhain (talk) 20:48, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
