Botswana is a country located in sub-Saharan Africa. It is usually referred to as one of the most democratic countries in this region, however not much attention is given to this country. Currently, WP:BOTSWANA does not have any FLs so I think having one would be nice. 48JCL (talk) 17:37, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- "terms; and" – to be a correct compound sentence, should be "terms, and" or "terms;" (no "and")
- Need a key to list all party abbreviations in the table
- References column should not be sortable
- Not a full source review, but just from a quick glance ref. 27 seems questionable as a WP:SPS – what makes it reliable?
@RunningTiger123:, according to the AceProject that created the website, the data is compiled from EISA data, the United Nations, and more.
- Would be nice to see some citation cleanup (e.g., "www.cia.gov" is fine for the website name but not the page title)
- At the very least, every citation should have the correct page title and a website/publisher name
- No need to apply double bold font to gallery heading
- What is the source for the data used in the maps in the gallery? (Doesn't need to be noted here but should be noted on the image description pages)
@RunningTiger123: pinging @FelipeRev: who created the images.48JCL TALK 17:41, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- @48JCL: Please do not mark my comments as resolved. Right off the bat, the double bolding was not fixed and several references are still misformatted (refs. 31 and 40 are immediately obvious). If I think the issues have been resolved, I'll give an indication of that myself. RunningTiger123 (talk) 19:01, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- RunningTiger123, I have added page numbers and fixed bare url errors. 48JCL TALK 02:26, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment by CMD
- The lead feels a bit jumbled, not seeing a lot of coherence in the subject. Off the top of my head, there should be a clear paragraph on what the elections actually do, which is elect representatives to the National Assembly of Botswana (not currently mentioned?) and its predecessors. Following that, information about the President makes more sense. A paragraph on the Dominant-party system under the Botswana Democratic Party makes sense as well, but it would be nice for a more long-scale framing than talking only about the most recent polls. The lead is missing coverage of the timing of the elections, a note on why the seat number increased over time, as well as a summary of the voting and constituency systems. The information on suffrage could be slightly expanded. CMD (talk) 04:24, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Chipmunkdavis, I would like to withdraw this nomination Is there any way to ping a FLC coordinator? 48JCL TALK 21:03, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Not sure I'm afraid, not one of my usual haunts, but it's an interesting topic that I hope can continue to be developed. CMD (talk) 01:14, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @FLC director and delegates: see above. RunningTiger123 (talk) 00:54, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
