A few tips
Hello Astridcoast, and welcome to Wikipedia. A few tips for editing: If you have any other queries, please let me know. I work mainly on election articles, focussing on Africa at the moment. Cheers, Number   5  7  20:09, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * If you use the same reference more than once, you shouldn't type out the full reference again and again. The first time you use it, give it a name (  ) and then the next time you use it, it can be coded as
 * References must come directly after punctuation - there should be no spaces between a full stop or comma and the reference tag
 * Make sure you don't introduce contradictory information to the article. In your recent edits to Burkinabé parliamentary election, 2012, you introduced one source claiming that 3.5 million people were registered to vote, and another stating 4.5m. The actual figure was the latter, which you can see in the results table.
 * If you edit an article and remove a passage with a reference, make sure that reference isn't used elsewhere in the article using the system mentioned above. You removed a reference to Voice of Africa in your recent edits, but it was used elsewhere. This is highlighted in red bold text in the reference section for you to check when you do "Show preview" prior to saving.
 * When you use a comma, use the simple ' rather than ’.

An invitation to discussion
I kindly invite you to the discussion on Template talk:Infobox election to decide whether to bold the winner in the election infobox. Lmmnhn (talk) 19:13, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
