List of parliamentary constituencies of Nepal

Featured list candidates/List of parliamentary constituencies of Nepal/archive1

Nominator(s): MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:18, 6 September 2024‎ (UTC)[reply]

The fifth in the constituency series. I've improved the lead and table accessibility and added a history section. Similar FL: Zambia. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note for reviewers: Nepal uses the Vikram Samvat as their calendar system, which is about 56-57 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar that is used in most other places. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
Additional disclaimer: I can't read Nepali.
"through proportional electoral system": maybe "through a proportional electoral system"
"voters vote for": not wrong, but consider "voters choose"
Checking the FLC criteria:
1. I did some minor copyediting; feel free to revert. I checked sorting on all sortable nonnumeric columns and sampled the links in the tables.
2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
3b. The sources appear to be reliable, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any significant problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates are present.
3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, and it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find).
4. It is navigable.
5. It meets style requirements. At a glance, the images seem fine.
6. It is stable. - Dank (push to talk) 03:27, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dank: I've fixed the two issues that you pointed out. Thanks for the review and the copyedits. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:25, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image review – pass

There are two relevant images with appropriate CC tags. simongraham (talk) 12:45, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Alavense

I think the caption in the infobox should comply with MOS:GEOLINK.
How are provinces sorted? What's the logic behind it? Why does Madhesh come before Bagmati, for instance?

That's what I saw, MPGuy2824. I've got a couple of nominations going on, in case you have time and fancy having a look at them. Kind regards, Alavense (talk) 06:48, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alavense:

Fixed the MOS:GEOLINK issue in the infobox caption.
How are provinces sorted? What's the logic behind it? Why does Madhesh come before Bagmati, for instance? If you look at the maps in Provinces of Nepal#List of provinces of Nepal, they were ordered by geographic location (starting from the east and ending in the west). In fact a few of the provinces had numbers as tentative names when they were created. (Madhesh was "Province No. 2" and Bagmati was "Province No. 3"). That said, the ordering of the constituencies follow the order shown in the election results, but adding a number column to the table should reduce reader confusion. I'll be doing that. Thanks for the review. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:23, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy with that. Support. Kind regards, Alavense (talk) 14:11, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - can't spot anything -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:53, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Alavense, ChrisTheDude, PresN, Hey man im josh, and MPGuy2824: Maybe one of you can spot the problem here, I can't see it. When I was pulling up WP:FLC, nothing was showing below this page, until I commented this transclusion out with  (so at the moment, this page isn't showing up at WP:FLC). I'm guessing that something is wrong with some wikicode on this page. - Dank (push to talk) 21:24, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, PresN just fixed a <small> tag, that seems to have fixed it. Thx! - Dank (push to talk) 21:27, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks all, for fixing this problem. Looks like I removed the "Nominator" line when first starting the nomination. I think i was trying to remove the pre-added html comment. A good reminder to slow down sometimes. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:29, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's an embarrassing destruction of the page I temporarily caused lol. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh

Source review: Passed

Reliable enough for the information being cited
Consistent date formatting
Consistent and proper reference formatting
Appropriate wikilinks where applicable
Spot checks on 15 sources match what they are being cited for

Feedback:

Ref 1 – Missing publish date
Refs 1 and 5 – Change Kathmandu Post to The Kathmandu Post to match the target
Ref 3 – Change website toto Republica
Ref 3 – Mark link as dead
Ref 3 – Remove "Republica" as the last name of the author
Ref 3 – Missing publish date
Ref 4 – add a status=live parameter, it's linking to an archive link instead by default
Ref 5 – Missing publish date and author
Ref 5 – The URL is a redirect, update it to the target
Refs 8, 10, and 12 – Change the publisher from International Parliamentary Union to Inter-Parliamentary Union
Ref 9 – Remove the "www." from the website parameter
Refs 9 and 11 – Are there alternative sources for these, or are they linked to reputable organizations? Not finding a page for them on wiki, but that obviously doesn't mean they're necessarily unreliable.
Ref 15 and 16 – Use "Election Commission of Nepal" as the publisher whereas refs 13 and 14 use Election Commission (Nepal). Format consistency and link all.
Entries 105, 106 – It's interesting that these are the only two entries which have a name that don't match the district. Perhaps a note explaining that could be useful.
Entries 117 and 118 – Shouldn't these be under Nawalparasi (West of Bardaghat Susta) district instead? It looks like Parasi District redirects to Nawalparasi (West of Bardaghat Susta) district.
Not necessary for my support, but to make it more readable (for myself) while evaluating things I moved the province column over to the left one. I know that throws off the numbering, so it's obviously not ideal, but the province column doesn't feel like it's ideal where it's at personally. Just something to consider.

Please ping me when the above issues have been addressed. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:58, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the constituency name column to after both the province and district columns since it didn't make sense to separate the those two columns.
Refs 9 and 11: I've replaced both nepalresearch.com refs with a single (sadly dead) one from the ECN. Luckily web archive has a snapshot.
Fixed the rest.

Thanks for the thorough review @Hey man im josh. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:28, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
