Orphaned references in Results of the 2022 New Hampshire House of Representatives election
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Results of the 2022 New Hampshire House of Representatives election's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:29, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

The citation style and splitting article proposal
Hello, thanks for creating this article for saving information for 2022 New Hampshire House Representatives election. However, the reason why I cited these sources so repetitvely is that I fear accusations that these detailed results were not fully cited. Moreover, the splitting article proposal by me is to prevent such large article being hard to load (see rules about article length). May you help with collecting the full name of the candidates and election boxes of the rest of the districts ? Moreover, some counties have lost seats or gained seats after last 2020s redistricting approportioning cycle, and I wish that information about that would be included also. Thank you so much! :) Shamrockwikiedit (talk) 06:25, 10 May 2024 (UTC)


 * @Shamrockwikiedit for the record, it's WP: Bold, revert, discuss, not Bold, revert, revert again and discuss. The citations are great, but they don't need to be cited twice or three times in the same section. Honestly, once per county would probably be sufficient. Nevermore27  (talk) 10:41, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * secondly, I'm aware that the article is large, but as it is almost exclusively election boxes and not paragraphs of prose, rules on article size are not strictly applicable here. As a single page, it is also easily navigable by county and district for those searching for a particular result.  Nevermore27  (talk) 10:49, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm concerned that how the article can be loaded, frankly, as some computers might lag seriously loading such large articles. Moreover, I'm afraid of someone randomly putting in results. Which parts do you think need to have clear citations, asking your opinion. :) Shamrockwikiedit (talk) 11:05, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, where for once in county? (the subtitle section you suggest?)
 * Moreover, do you think the 2022 New Hampshire House of Representatives election in Belknap County shoulde be kept? Furthermore, do you think the template about which counties having seats changing hands (either party gaining or losing seats) or gained or lost in reapportion in this article should remain/kept or be removed? :) Shamrockwikiedit (talk) 11:11, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Shamrockwikiedit in theory, we could have a single sentence saying hey, here are the sources for these elections results and just link to it once. I'm fine with having one citation for each elections box but it will be excessive for there to be 80+ citations going to exact same link, which is what the case would be for Hillsborough County if we follow your strategy. it's just not necessary.
 * I'm not sure what you mean by a "template" showing counties gaining/losing seats? surely just a sentence or two would suffice.
 * personally I would nominate the Belknap county page for deletion. I am `open` to the idea of keeping your idea but honestly that would just make this page a linktree and then there's no reason to have this page at all, we could just link from the 2022 New Hampshire House of Representatives election page.

 * I mean, the ‘template’ in my previous statement shows three details[as you can see in this article, in #Belknap County section]: seats each party got in the previous election, seats before election, and seats after election, which may better reflect the number of seats changing hands between different political parties. Moreover, perhaps the page I split can be remade into a redirect temporarily (yes, putting back the section I split back into the main article) before all data are filled. After all the election data are filled, we may then see how this main article page loads and decide whether splitting the article is better for readers or not. Lastly, would you help with filling the rest of the data, thank you so much! Shamrockwikiedit (talk) 06:39, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Shamrockwikiedit oh I misunderstood what you meant by template  Nevermore27  (talk) 16:06, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I have tried your opinion on citation marking and demonstrated that on the section of Belknap County (is this what you meant?), yet, I am concerned that someone would start using, claiming not enough footnotes......Lastly, seems that after district Hillsborough 12, a lot of data were outdated and hidden, may you fix the problem, thank you!

 * I have a day job and a night job so I will try to work on it. I think I've come around to the idea of having the individual county results pages and not having the master "Results" page, just have the county pages linked directly from 2022 New Hampshire House of Representatives election.
