Talk:Results of the 2003 Japanese general election

Untitled
I played around with the layout a bit because in the old version a map overlap a table and that looks ugly on my screen. I also think the new version is more compact thus have improved readability. If no one opposes, I will apply this format to the rest. Needless to say, I don't know how this looks on others' screen so don't hesitate to make modifications. -- Taku 02:04, August 27, 2005 (UTC)


 * I have no objection to any of the improvements, and I agree it looks a little nicer. The only thing I don't like is that I wish the total seats for a party (in the same box as the party name) were right aligned, or otherwise lined up vertically for comparison, as the single member and proportional entries are.


 * You may have to play around with the maps to get them to appropriate sizes, because have very different aspect ratios -- the Tohoku one is very large if you set the same width as the others. Willhsmit 02:11, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

My new edit should address this concern (i.e., total seats). I am still not quite comfortable with PR column but this is a good compromise. I will change the format for the rest in a day or so. -- Taku 23:46, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

Tables
One possibile addition to the first table (nationwide summary) is changes. Changes in % of vote can go in parentheses within the table entry (e.g. 39.7% (+2.7)) but the most important change, number of seats, perhaps deserves a separate column. Nice article and fantastic graphics! Fg2 02:24, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
