Re:UK General Elections
It's been the consensus for a long time that we only include the main three parties. This is mostly because they are the only three parties capable of winning an actual majority in the Commons. Note that we do include the SDP-Liberal Alliance in the 1980s elections for this reason. Please discuss your changes on a talk page, because you may have a good case. In the meantime I'm reverting your edits to the last few election articles. -- Hazhk Talk to me 17:25, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I've removed these from many of the articles you've added them to as I think that they are both unnecessary and also just look dreadful. In many examples (e.g. here) it also creates a load of whitespace in the articles by forcing the table downwards. Please don't add them to any more articles.

Puerto Rican elections
Hi Deturtlemon1. I've noticed that you are changing the percentages received by candidates in these elections. Unfortunately you appear to be doing it incorrectly - i.e. assuming the invalid votes count towards the 100%. The 100% is achieved by the total of valid votes received by the candidates, and this is how the results are presented by the sources used to reference the results. I've changed a couple back, but could you stop doing this as you go through? Thanks, Number   5  7  20:52, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, could you please stop removing the invalid/blank votes from the results, and also changing them from what the source states? Thanks, Number   5  7  21:03, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

The House Election Pages

 * When I had created those pages it was before the 2014 House elections had been held, and at the time the House infobox looked like this, detailing not only the number of seats they had won in the last election, but the number they had presently. Even with the format apparently not being that, I can't in good conscience support the change back to the standard given the seat numbers at the time of the election were different due to either challenges in Congress resulting in members of another party being seated, special elections, and so on, and basing the math off the more recent figures would be more accurate. At the same time we wouldn't be removing the results as they had stood in the prior election being right above it. For example in 1896 we are talking about twenty-two seats having changed hands between the two elections to members of other parties. I feel it would be improper not to represent that. --Ariostos (talk) 00:59, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

U.S. House of Representatives 2014 election "results" question
Hello Deturtlemon1! I have a question for you. I must be missing something obvious, here... but I'm looking at page 54 of the U.S. House Clerk reference for the 2014 elections for the "national totals" for the various parties, and they don't seem to be matching the figures reported at United States House of Representatives elections, 2014 in either the Infobox or in the 'Results summary' section... So what am I missing? Thanks in advance! --IJBall (talk) 22:38, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

United States Senate elections, 1970
Hello Deturtlemon1, I reverted your changes in United States Senate elections, 1970 and in the map. You changed the color of Virginia from yellow to grey. Why did you so? Yellow is the usual color for independents in Wikipedia. -- Perrak (talk) 21:53, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Perrak, In the United States, the Libertarian Party is colored yellow, and all independents are colored gray.
 * Were in the US? If you want to change these colours in Wikipedia, you should first change Template:United States political party shading. Here Libertarians are orange, Independents yellow, and grey is the colour for hold. I don't think that it is useful to change certain articels as you did in several articles. And if you want to change colours in maps, then do your own maps, don't change maps which are used elsewere. -- Perrak (talk) 20:16, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
