1987 South Korean election map
Hello. Great work on your election maps. However, I think this one is a bit confusing – the provinces in the south-west (which I assume are the ones won by Kim Dae-jung) appear a very dark shade of brown, and it's quite difficult to work out which party that is meant to be. Could the map be reconfigured slightly so it's more obvious that those provinces are dark yellow? Cheers, Number   5  7  08:27, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi! Thanks for appreciating my maps! I just adjust the color scheme for the 1987 election, is it better?--沁水湾 (talk) 19:13, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I think it still needs to be much lighter so it's visibly yellow rather than brown (if that makes sense)? Cheers, Number   5  7  19:31, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The problem is liberals in South Korea always win massive 80-90% of the vote in Jeolla-do. The deviation is large between the provinces.--沁水湾 (talk) 23:40, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Election maps
Hello Felipe, I'm an user who really likes your election maps and diagrams, especially your recent legislative ones. I am fairly active in editing Nigerian election pages and was wondering if you would consider making maps for them. As one of the world's biggest democracies, it would be great for Nigerian election pages (on gubernatorial and National Assembly elections) to have more detailed maps. I know you likely have other projects but I'd quite appreciate if you could consider Nigerian pages. Thanks, Watercheetah99 (talk) 01:13, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for appreciating my works! I'd certainly love to. I know little about Nigerian politics but I'll try my best to make one or two maps--沁水湾 (talk) 10:23, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you a ton! If you need any help with results ask me or WikiProject Nigeria. For National Assembly elections, finding the House and State constituency maps could be difficult but the Senate results are on its page; by later this month, I will attempt to finalize the 2019 House election page as I recently came across old court decisions that changed the results. For gubernatorial elections, it depends as the 2021 Anambra State gubernatorial election would be the easiest and most straightforward to map as I put LGA results on the Wiki page. Seven other gubernatorial elections also have results on news sites: 2020 Ondo (results), 2020 Edo (results), 2019 Bayelsa (results), 2019 Kogi (results), 2019 Yobe (results), 2019 Cross River (results), and 2017 Anambra (results). I'd start with 2021 Anambra as that is the election I know for certain has accurate results on its page. You could also make other maps: ones for gubernatorial election overview pages (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023) like the ones on [United States gubernatorial elections results map.svg|American pages] and/or current situation maps for the House (current members), Senate (current members - base map), or Governor's offices (current list). your maps are great! thanks again and good luck!

 * Oh when I had written this, I hadn't seen your 2019 House maps, thank you a lot they look great! One minor tweak if you want, the Ikot Ekpene/Essien Udim/Obot Akara and Oru East/Orsu/Orlu results were voided, thus making the PDP number 126. It doesn't matter too much tho, thank you again!

UK election graphs
Hi, you keep adding election graphs to UK election articles, but they have problems. Could you use standard abbreviations for the UK parties please? So, "LD" or "LDem" for the Liberal Democrats, not "LIB", which is used the Liberal Party.

When you add your images to article infoboxes, they are very hard to read. Can you either make them clearer (probably by dropping some detail), or just put them in the body of the article at a suitable size?

Thanks. Bondegezou (talk) 15:23, 9 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Okay... Done. 沁水湾 (talk) 02:40, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

LDP Party Colour
We are allowed to add different colours to a political party in the modules. The same goes for the Grand National Party in South Korea, as I dark blue for the years between 1997 to 2004. There is also no need to add a failed reference to the colour, when to party's website has the colour (albeit the black logo not being the correct one).

 * In addition, we add parties that have merged into a pre-existing one too, like with the DPK, where splits have happened and the resulting parties have merged into the party they split from (i.e. New Wave and Open Democratic). ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 22:27, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Yesh Atid's colour
Hi I was reading your thread at Module_talk:Political_party/Archive_2. I agree that it should be changed to orange, not just because of the legibilty issues but also because the dark blue, as you say, is similar to Likud's and conveys the impression that Yesh Atid are a right wing party indistinguishable from Likud or Yamina when in fact they are a centrist party similar to the Liberal Democrats in the UK which also uses orange/gold as its colour. This is particularly an issue with regard to the List of prime ministers of Israel where it does not stand out clearly enough that Lapid is an exception to the profusion of prime ministers from the right wing since 2001 (Natanyahu, Bennett, Sharon and to a lesser extent Olment). I was trying to change the colour myself but am being defeated by the sheer complexity of the systems involved. Perhaps we can work together to implement this modification. Regards.

Hello, 沁水湾. I noticed that your recent edit to February 1982 Irish general election added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you.  -  Sumanuil  '''. ''' (talk to me) 23:35, 19 June 2023 (UTC)


 * These files were in the process of renaming (missing a comma), thus weren’t displaying correctly. Since the renaming process on the commons are finished now I reverted the wiki pages back. 沁水湾 (talk) 19:43, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Finnish election maps
Good work on the maps, but having the southern portion of the country shown on the left looks a bit odd, as that is the first thing readers will naturally look at (in a left-to-right alphabet-based encyclopedia). It also looks odd that this excerpt is larger than the main map of the country. Might be worth some rejigging? Cheers, Number   5  7  00:16, 9 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks as always! I'd appreciate your thoughts on my new bar-chart style map for multi-member constituencies (as opposed to the older and more common circles-coloring style)？I think it's a better way of visualization when a plethora of parties win seats in almost every constituency. It works especially when there are fewer constituencies.
 * Here is my rationale for the map layout:
 * Since northern Finland is sparsely populated, enlarging the south allows me to use larger bar charts, making the map more readable. The southern inset is arguably the "main map" anyway since it's where the majority of action is happening.
 * The northern section of the coastline & the southern section of the border with Russia are both tilted similarly relative to the latitude line. Placing the map of the country at large to the right of the southern inset therefore allows the overall layout to be more compacted. Plus as maps are nonlinear, we don't necessarily read maps from left to right. The left-right placement isn't the most critical factor in maps IMO. Feel free to educate me on this if I'm wrong.

UK election maps wrt Alliance
Hi, I've noticed that in the UK general election maps in the seat-count boxes you've abbreviated the Alliance party as ALNI when the more appropriate abbreviation would be APNI (as recognised by the party's main article). Is this something it would be possible to fix? CipherRephic (talk) 00:49, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
