UK general election pages are looking a bit disorganised. A few bits are good (eg. Constituency Update but there doesn't seem to any overall project to link together all the other updates that need doing, or at least one that I can fine. Not sure how such a project should be set up (or whether I have the time). So here are some of my bits.

Election Bookmarks

 * Constituency updates - record of the updates for each constituency - Talk section has some discussion of after the election updates


 * Wiki News main results page


 * UK general election front page


 * General page about UK elections - NO updates for after the election


 * UK 2005 election page - some details of updates post election

Things to do after the election

 * Results
 * List of MPs elected
 * Update the bios of the each MP (including those who became MPs and those who ceased to be MPs)
 * Update the MPs for each region. For example Reading, Berkshire will have the two MPs listed.
 * Update the constituency links in MPs elected in the UK general election, 2005
 * Check the change in scottish consituencies is reflected correctly
 * Update the constituency links in MPs elected in the UK general election, 2001. Also need to update the top bit about result in WikiSource. Now also in Wiki.


 * Make sure byelection results are on the constituency pages. Since 2001 they are:
 * Ipswitch
 * Ogmore
 * Brent East
 * Leicester South
 * Birmingham Hodge Hill
 * Hartlepool
 * See:
 * Could have an election timetable. See
 * Check that local election results have been updated if necessary. This is only likely to need changes to the governing party in the region pages; might not even need that. Can't believe the results are stored in Wikipedia anywhere.

Minor Stuff

** Stephen Ladyman
 * On the result project page Thurrock may be in the wrong region
 * Sevenoaks categories fix.
 * Paul Beresford Croydon link point to Constituency rather than Croydon
