United Kingdom local elections, 2018
Hi, just to let you know I've reverted some of your changes to United Kingdom local elections, 2018 because the edits you've made don't correspond to the elections being discussed in the article. With a few exceptions, the seats contested this year were last elected in 2014, which is where the stats come from. This is also what "last election" refers to. Local elections in England take place on a variety of different timescales, with some elected in halves, some in thirds, and others "all-up". As a result, we make comparisons with 4 years previously rather than with elections held the previous year. I hope this clarifies my position for you. If you disagree with this policy then please open a discussion at the talk page - the practice is standard practice amongst UK Politics articles and ought to remain consistent until editors agree otherwise.

 * As a follow-up to this, I notice that you have repeatedly reverted various edits you have made back into the article. This is not good practice. You are expected to follow the WP:Bold, revert, discuss cycle – if any changes you make are reverted and you disagree, you should start a discussion on the article's talk page and gain consensus for the changes. Repeatedly reverting the material into the article is unconstructive, and continued behaviour in this manner is likely to eventually lead to you being blocked from editing. Please take this on board.
