New request for comment on American politics

Talk:List of political parties in the United States#rfc BD63F5A

Should United States political party disc logos (a party’s logo or a symbol associated with the party in a circle) be used? RiverMan18 (talk) 16:13, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Possible new template for US parties

As a result of the RFC, it appears that the consensus was to remove the disc logos entirely (which I have done). It also appears that the best way to symbolize a party would be through the use of color. As a result, I have created a new template which could be used on US political party pages to emphasize the color more which can be seen here.

What do you guys think? Please let me know.

Thanks! RiverMan18 (talk) 16:47, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed redirect on Kai Trump

There is a redirect discussion at Talk:Kai Trump#Proposed redirect that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. - Ratnahastin (talk) 04:39, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New RFC (sorry)

I’m sorry to make another RFC on a similar subject to the disc logos (don’t worry—I have accepted that the disc logos must go)—it is on the subject of whether political color should replace them.

Here is the RFC.

Infoboxes of US Senators & US Representatives

Looking at the bios of US Senators & US Representatives. In the infobox, wouldn't it be best to have their roles as a US Senator and/or US Representative mentioned at the top? For example, you gotta scroll down Amy Klobuchar's infobox quite a bit, to see she's a US Senator from Minnesota. GoodDay (talk) 16:41, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's the most significant position, while being a committee chair or in party leadership is subsidiary to that. Strict chronological order need not be followed for all roles when some are only held while serving as another, and the most recent top-level position should be on top. Her chairmanship of the steering committee is also listed twice and those should be combined. Reywas92^Talk 18:42, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources for US political articles

There is a discussion regarding reliable sources for US political articles at WT:RS#This is curious... --Magnolia677 (talk) 14:29, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another new RFC (sorry)

There is another RFC up at Talk:List of political parties in the United States.. The question being asked is whether or not the article should be shortened by removing potentially unnecessary information.

This is not an RFC created by me; it was created by another user. I am linking it here so that you guys are aware of it. RiverMan18 (talk) 17:03, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
