Hi
Hi, there's a weird issue on two articles: 2002 Costa Rican general election and 2014 Costa Rican general election in both the name of the nominee and in the second the name of the running mates do not appear in the infobox for reasons unknown to me. Thank you. --Dereck Camacho (talk) 00:03, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I've fixed it. You were missing the code  from the presidential section of the infobox. The reason it partially worked in some articles is that the "candidate" parameter was used. When "nominee" is used, it only appears if the type is set to presidential. Cheers,  Number   5  7  09:58, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

1958 Costa Rican general election
Hi Numbers, by reasons unknown for me the 1958 Costa Rican general election can't be linked in wikidata to its Spanish counterpart as all other are. The Wondering if you can help. The Spanish name is "Elecciones presidenciales de Costa Rica de 1958". --Daioshin (talk) 23:18, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I've fixed it. The problem was that there are two Wikidata entries for the election (1958 Costa Rican general election and Costa Rican presidential election, 1958, and the English one was attached to the first and the Spanish to the second. I've attached them both to the first one. Number   5  7  23:24, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Guam
I’d rather stick with precedent here. And the guidelines mention nothing about subnational states or territories - just countries. Guam is a U.S. territory and should follow the same guidelines as U.S. states such as 2018 Ohio gubernatorial election. Of course you could also apply the guidelines to US states as well but there’s the fact that some US demonyms are pretty ridiculous and you’d end up with “Hoosier gubernatorial election” for Indiana. Kingofthedead (talk) 10:00, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The precedent for US Territories (as opposed to states) is to use the adjectival form where there is one – i.e. American Samoan and Puerto Rican.
 * There are some places that do not have adjectival forms, or very awkward ones, and we have avoided using these (for example, Liechtenstein or the Solomon Islands). I think that for US states, adjectival forms should be used where there is a non-awkward one (Californian, Texan etc) but not when there isn't.
 * Although it mentions countries, the guideline isn't restricted to national level elections/referendums; one of the examples given is a subnational unit (the Faroe Islands). It is widely applied to subnational votes e.g. 2011 Welsh devolution referendum, 2009 New Caledonian legislative election, 2010 Réunionese Regional Council election etc
 * Also, just to note the guideline was amended some time ago to switch from "demonym" to "adjectival form" as in some cases this can be different. Cheers, Number   5  7  10:16, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Malawi elections
There are numerous speculations about the results of the Malawian general elections. There are multiple "results" circulating everywhere about the presidential election. The MEC data that shows huge lead for the President Mutharika has not yet been updated by the Election Commission, and it may be misleading and sowing confusion. The State TV and other channels are showing huge lead for Chakwera, whereas the outdated MEC data shows Mutharika commanding a huge lead. Violence and bickering about the results are already sowing confusion, and the data may further exacerbate it. Therefore I request you to update the data whenever you can, and remove the figures obtained from the premilinary results of only 11% votes are cast. Ongoing election data must be updated and posted very carefully, as these are very impactful. Ppt2003 (talk) 11:07, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * There are always multiple results circulating. It's our job to assess which of those can be deemed reliable. If there are more complete figures posted by a reliable source, you are welcome to update them. Number   5  7  11:39, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Dear Number 57, Before reverting my changes and leaving warning on my talk page, be sure to check the facts. The Adjectival form of (North) Macedonia is Macedonian. You can check the official government website for the official info: https://vlada.mk/node/16897?ln=en-gb or you can even read on Wikipedia. There isn't such adjective as "North Macedonian". I hope you will work on your mistakes. Greetings

Why isn't my code working?
Hello. I was trying to edit the 1963 Moroccan general election general election page, but the infobox I tried to implement only displayed one of the houses. Here is my code:

Biographies of women from Guam
Hi there! I see you are writing biographies on women from Guam - great! I notice though that you are using Guampedia as the only/main source for these articles. I'm not familiar with this site, but I wonder if it's considered a reliable source on Wikipedia as it's a community-created information site? I wonder if you should check it out at the Reliable Sources helpdesk before continuing with your writing? And/or you could include other sources in the articles as well. On another note, you might like to join the Women in Red project as it is an excellent source of advice and help on writing new articles about women. You can search in the "search Wikipedia" function for "WP:Women in Red" to find their pages. All the best and happy editing! MurielMary (talk) 12:47, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello MurielMary. These are actually the only two bios on Guamanian women that I'm planning on writing – I'm currently going through all the first women to sit in parliaments of various countries and territories, and Torres/Untalan were the joint first in Guam.
 * With regards to Guampedia, it is a quite widely used source on Wikipedia (I used it some years ago to write some election articles). This description of it, including the listing of scholars/advisors who wrote it, would suggest it is a reliable source, as opposed to a crowdsourced site like Wikipedia. Cheers,  Number   5  7  12:55, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a great project to work through (first women to sit in parliaments around the world!). Good to know about Guampedia, very interesting! MurielMary (talk) 13:00, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've been working up a list here that I will move to mainspace as a list article once complete (21 countries to go at the moment in terms of identifying the years, and a few others to identify the names). Number   5  7  14:13, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Israeli election categories
Hi Number 57: I removed the category “2019 elections in Asia” which you subsequently reverted from the articles on Israeli elections in 2019 because those and similar articles by year are already in the categories I created: Category:2019 elections in Israel (etc) which is in both the categories “2019 elections in Asia” and “2019 in Israeli politics”. Hence listing the articles directly in “2019 elections in Asia” as well is superfluous and clutters up the Asia category. While two articles have little effect, the “2019 elections in Asia” category would be really cluttered if all the articles in “2019 elections in India” (say) and its subcategories were listed directly in the “Asia” category as well. Only a few main categories list (for various reasons) articles in subcategories also; e.g. articles in Category:20th-century Israeli women writers are also in Category:20th-century Israeli writers and the subcategories are identified as “non-diffusing subcategories”. Hugo999 (talk) 04:11, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't believe it's superfluous and it's certainly not cluttering the continental category. As I've told you before, I think continental categories should be non-diffusing for national elections (I have no problem with subnational elections being in a national category only, so cluttering would not an issue). I think this is helpful to the reader (it certainly is for me) to be able to see all the national elections in a continent in a year in one place. Removing them all to sub-categories is incredibly unhelpful IMO (hence why I've asked you not to do it at least once before) as it makes it harder to see how many countries had a nationwide election that year.

First women elected to the Indonesian parliament
Hi Number 57. As you say, the 1955 Indonesian legislative election was the first democratic election in Indonesia - all previous legislative assemblies had appointed memberships. There is an elderly scanned document Hasil Rakjat Memilih Tokoh-tokoh Parlemen (Hasil Pemilihan Umum Pertama - 1955) di Republik Indonesia (Results of the People Voting for Parliamentary Members (Results of the First General Elections - 1955) in the Republic of Indonesia on the Indonesian legislature (DPR) repository website - http://repositori.dpr.go.id/100/. As it has photos of all the members, you could go through all four volumes counting... However, it also includes representatives who replaced elected members ("Pengganti anggota terpilih") for reasons such as the elected member being appointed to the cabinet.

Historia magazine, which seems to be a pretty reliable source, has an article specifically on what you're looking for at https://historia.id/politik/articles/perempuan-dalam-pemilu-pertama-6k4qn ("Perempuan dalam Pemilu Pertama" - "Women in the First Election). The last sentence reads, "Dari 257 kursi di DPR, hanya ada 19 perempuan yang terpilih, yakni 4 orang dari PNI dan Masyumi, 5 dari NU, serta 1 dari PSI.", or "Of 257 seats in the DPR, only 19 women were elected, namely 4 from the PNI and Masyumi, 5 from the NU and one from the PSI." Unfortunately, 4+4+5+1=14 !

Slightly different numbers (17 women) are in the second row of the table on page 719 of an article from the also credible Jurnal Konstitusi - https://mkri.id/public/content/infoumum/penelitian/pdf/Keterwakilan%20Perempuan%20di%20DPR.pdf.

Confusingly, according to the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency at https://www.bps.go.id/statictable/2014/09/12/1172/anggota-dewan-perwakilan-rakyat-dpr-menurut-jenis-kelamin-1955-2014.html, there were 16 women out of 272 seats.

All this is the kind of inconsistency that drives editors on the Indonesian Project to despair. I'm not sure how helpful this is - the only thing we can be certain of is that a number of women were elected for the first time in 1955. Take care. Davidelit (Talk) 04:52, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Gilbertese or I-Kiribati
Robert Louis Stevenson was the first English author to tell about the people of the Gilbert Islands. He arrived in this remote place on 12th July 1889, and he wrote “In the South Seas”. He call the people there the « Gilbertine », not the Gilbertese. In 1820, this archipelago was put on a map with the name of « îles Gilbert » by an admiral from Estonia. He was member of the French Sciences Academy (and the Russian too of course). When Captain Davies put the Gilbert Islands under the British Protectorate (1892), English people started to use « Gilbertese » but the people of the islands continued to speak about « te Aomata ». Because Gilberts (plural) was uneasy to pronounce in Gilbertese language, they started to say instead Kiribati (Gi-li-berts), no G, no L, no proper S, in Gilbertese writing. The very first appearance of this « Kiribati » word in a good dictionary was in 1953, by Father Ernest Sabatier ( fr:), a Roman Catholic, who wrote and published the [very first] « Dictionnaire gilbertin-français » in Abaiang (Tabwiroa). No Gilbertese-English dictionary had been published before that one. He first gave the definition and meaning of Kiribati in a foreign language: Gilberts or Gilbert Islands. The name of the people (all the peoples) is given by I- (ee) in Gilbertese. The I-Buranti are the French. The I-Tiaman are the German. The I-Matang all the people that does not speak the language of the Aomata. In 1979, the decision was taken to replace Gilberts by Kiribati (nearly the same thing to the ears of the Aomata), easier to write with the only 13 letters of their alphabet. In fact they do no change the name, only the writing.

From 1892 to 1979, there was not such thing as a citizenship. From 1916, all the people were subjects of the British Empire. 99% of the inhabitants of the Gilbert Islands were Gilbertese or I-Kiribati, same thing but the writing and grammar rule, and nothing in English says now that I-Kiribati should be the English word for the new citizenship. Do you say Bharati for Indian? Nippon-jin for Japanese? Or Italiano for Italian? I do not think so. Please do not hesitate to ask me about this first Chief Minister: he was the grandfather of my adoptive son. And I speak quite well the Gilbertese. Yours. --Arorae (talk) 16:48, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Most of the above doesn't seem relevant to this specific issue. Usually when something is renamed while someone is related to it, we use the latest name for it in their biography. As for the use of I-Kiribati, see Demographics of Kiribati and the whole I-Kiribati people category tree. Number   5  7  17:10, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * not relevant for you. Consensus is not your own opinion. And Wikipedia is not a source.-Arorae (talk) 17:15, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I didn't say consensus is my own opinion. However, when there are disputes over changes, articles should to be kept at the status quo until there is consensus for change. I also didn't say Wikipedia was a source; I was pointing out that Wikipedia uses I-Kiribati as a demonym. I'm sure Aridd would be able to give more detail on this. Number   5  7  17:20, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

But of course the fact that I have read all the [rare] books since the ones of Sir Arthur Grimble, could only show me that I know nearly nothing on this place of Earth. Lack of interest for the Cinderellas of the British Empire.
 * the National Stadium is officially the Reuben K. Uatioa Stadium but nobody calls it like that. It is not a stadium at all in fact just a field of sand and stones and dust. Thanks for your asking.-Arorae (talk) 19:40, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Charles Richard Swayne
Dear Number 57, I usually look First on sources before editing, especially on doubtful periods. British Museum writes here that Charles Richard Swayne was the first Resident Commissioner of GEI from 1892 to 1895, and many other books quote the same period (some write from 1893 to 1895 as he arrived in the Gilberts only late 1893). --Arorae (talk) 18:09, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Transcription of names of kibbutzim in Israel
You have deleted my transcriptions of names of kibbutzim in Israel, arguing that they are unnecessary as they match their article name. However, stress in a Hebrew is very important. And while the stress appears in all my transcriptions, it does not appear in any of the article names. For example, a person who does not know Hebrew may pronounce alúmot instead of alumót. The article name is Alumot, which means that the person who sees it and does not know Hebrew has no idea how it is pronounced stress-wise in Hebrew. This can lead to various misunderstandings, of course. Please reconsider. --SuzieMillen (talk) 22:17, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Very few (if any) people will understand that the text indicates how the words are stressed (I've never seen this used before for Hebrew), which means it's going to be largely meaningless and therefore unnecessary (particularly for something in such a prominent position). Number   5  7  22:24, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * My synagogue friends all understand the stress indication. The áéíóú is commonly used among Jews and others. You have also deleted my transcription dgánya for Degania. In this case my transcription gave the reader more than just stress. Otherwise, the reader would pronounce 3 or 4 syllables (de.gan.ya or de.ga.ni.a) whereas דגניה is actually pronounced with only 2 syllables (dgán.ya). Perhaps I should add that I know Hebrew and lived in a kibbutz. Please reconsider. --SuzieMillen (talk) 23:19, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Your synagogue friends are not representative of the general public. I know Hebrew and lived in Israel for several years (the reason I saw your edits is that I wrote several of the articles in question by translating them from he.wiki). Number   5  7  23:39, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Gilbertese
Dear Number 57. My memory is not as good as I was younger, and I have completely forgotten your post on my page from… 2007. It was quite an offensive one (imho). Here it was: «==Kiribatian/Gilbertese== Thank you for your insult regarding my knowledge of Kiribati. Whilst I admit I do not know much about the Islands myself, I am rather an expert on English being a native speaker and a former teacher of the language, and I can tell you that no-one would use the adjective Gilbertese to refer to the country (if you don't believe me, check the Wiktionary definition of Kiribatian and Gilbertese). Obviously you are not an expert either, as the "official" demonym is I-Kiribati, so your theory of having been to a country making you an expert doesn't exactly ring true, does it? Number 57 12:54, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No insult, please (it's my page). I am not a lier. And you do not know the exact meaning of I-Kiribati.--Enzino 15:28, 4 February 2007 (UTC) ».

After trying to improve many articles about Kiribati, I have seen many times the word « I-Kiribati » (Gilbertese demonym) used like an adjective or like a synonym of Kiribati — that is incorrect. As you should know « I- » means a people from and it is only used for demonyms like I-Buranti (French), I-Matang (“White” or people from Matang), I-Niutian (New Zealander) or I-Tarawa (person from Tarawa). When I saw a I-Kiribati Law category instead of Law in Kiribati or something near, I am certain that there is misunderstanding of the use of the demonym. But I have noticed that even if you are somehow rude in your manners — especially for an English teacher —, you should be convinced (not with my raw English), thanks for your rewording!, you have seen that If I could be wrong and make errors, I always try to understand the sourcés. By the way, I am VERY pleased to meet someone that have some interest in Kiribati and his history… Regards.-Arorae (talk) 22:54, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

I was actually trying to be informational and am not sure what sounded promotional.

The article says that the capacity will be increased by 1,133. 2,000+1,133=3,133. Benjw 2005 (talk) 21:23, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The article doesn't state that the existing capacity is 2,000. Sources on capacities are highly inconsistent, so there is no certainty that 2,000 was the starting point for adding a further 1,133. Capacities should only be added where a source is clear what the total capacity is. Adding two sources together is not appropriate.
 * While I've got your attention, why did you initially change it to 4,000, and then later to 3,133 using a source that contained no information on the capacity? Number   5  7  09:43, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

You have never replied to my last message (about Kiribati), so I am quite afraid you will not reply to this one. Thanks for modifying the 1978 election article and removing what you think could be copyvio. But I am still not understanding your animosity towards what I am trying to do, since 2004 on Kiribati articles. I may be wrong but it is like it is very difficult to improve what you have done and started — without very unfriendly comments. I thank you again because you have did a huge work but I really think that more friendly discussion could help.--Arorae (talk) 10:00, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The copyright thing is really concerning and quite separate to the Kiribati topic. I've seen this happen before - an editor has found to be making copyright violations over many years, and it takes a huge amount of effort to sort it out. It's really a very basic expectation of editors to know they cannot copy and paste text from other website, yet you're still making this extremely basic error after 16 years. It's hugely worrying.
 * On the Kiribati side of things, the move of Bwebwetake Areieta was also poorly judged. There are zero hits online for the alternative spelling that aren't Wikipedia mirrors; the current spelling is the common one – again this is is something you really should know by now.

Template:Football squad player
Hi, two things. Firstly, there is a rogue "|}" at the end of the template. Secondly, can you make it so that Template:Football squad player2 becomes a redirect to Template:Football squad player? Thanks, Nehme<b style="font-family:Verdana;color:#27B382">1499</b> (<b style="font-size:80%;color:#a9a9a9">talk</b>) 16:21, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I think I've fixed the |}. Not sure about redirecting yet. Number   5  7  16:22, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Not sure in the sense that you don't know how to do it, or not sure if we should even do it? <b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#000080">Nehme</b><b style="font-family:Verdana;color:#27B382">1499</b> (<b style="font-size:80%;color:#a9a9a9">talk</b>) 16:23, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I have not checked the compatibility of the code yet. Number   5  7  16:24, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok makes sense. It seems that Fs player2 doesn't use a "Fs player2 start", "mid", or "end", rather a wikitable, which complicates things. How do you think it can be solved? <b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#000080">Nehme</b><b style="font-family:Verdana;color:#27B382">1499</b> (<b style="font-size:80%;color:#a9a9a9">talk</b>) 16:27, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It does use start and end in some cases (see e.g. Toronto FC). The main issue I can see is the use of Fs player2 sort. If we redirected fs start and end2 to the main ones, the table would work, but the headings would be out of order (e.g. the nationality of the players appears in the last column). fs player needs to be reworked to able to accept both the normal input and the parameters used in Fs player2 sort before a wholescale transfer over could be done. In the meantime, to enable this, someone should go round and introduce fs start2 and fs end2 to all the articles missing it, as this will enable the transition once it's ready. Number   5  7  16:34, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Can you highlight this in WT:FOOTY? This way, it's more likely to find an editor (or more) who would help us out in this. <b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#000080">Nehme</b><b style="font-family:Verdana;color:#27B382">1499</b> (<b style="font-size:80%;color:#a9a9a9">talk</b>) 16:37, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Will leave a message there later (I'm about to go off to do something for a bit).

Change to Template:Football squad player
Hello,

In the change that you made to Football squad player template the two columns that were side by side are now appearing one below the other when there is a wide entry that used to wrap. Thus extending the squad listing and having a middle set of headings at the fs mid point. You can see the effect on this article. Keith D (talk) 22:38, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The two columns remain side by side on the PC version. They only become one below the other on mobile view. <b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#000080">Nehme</b><b style="font-family:Verdana;color:#27B382">1499</b> (<b style="font-size:80%;color:#a9a9a9">talk</b>) 22:45, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I have the problem on a laptop not on a mobile. Keith D (talk) 22:47, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah strange. I suppose you see two columns side by side when there isn't a "wide entry" (like here)? <b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#000080">Nehme</b><b style="font-family:Verdana;color:#27B382">1499</b> (<b style="font-size:80%;color:#a9a9a9">talk</b>) 22:52, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * This is a change that wasn't apparent in the testcases. I think it is something to do with what Tholme did in Template:Football squad start/sandbox and/or Template:Football squad mid/sandbox, but I can't work out what. It was a requested change as a result of the RfC, but I'm not sure this implementation really works, as it leaves a gap in the middle of the table when it switches to a single column. Cheers, Number   5  7  22:59, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I think I've fixed it in the sandbox. Does it look ok the in testcases? Number   5  7  23:13, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The test cases look OK. Keith D (talk) 23:16, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Do you want me to make the change? Or was the narrowing to a single column actually helpful? It was a requested outcome of the RfC, but I am unsure whether this is a satisfactory implementation of it due to the gap and repeated heading. Number   5  7  23:18, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah no, now it shows two columns side-by-side on mobile view. I think the idea was for it to be dynamic (side-by-side on PC, one above the other on mobile). <b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#000080">Nehme</b><b style="font-family:Verdana;color:#27B382">1499</b> (<b style="font-size:80%;color:#a9a9a9">talk</b>) 23:20, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * As far as I am aware, there is no way to differentiate between mobile and PC views. It's either always side-by-side on both, or one-below-the-other on both. Number   5  7  23:22, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It was working on my end. On my phone, the columns were one below the other. On my laptop, they were next to each other. <b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#000080">Nehme</b><b style="font-family:Verdana;color:#27B382">1499</b> (<b style="font-size:80%;color:#a9a9a9">talk</b>) 23:32, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You can make the change. The single column is not very helpful as it doubles the length of the squad list. Keith D (talk) 23:23, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Done. Number   5  7  23:26, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. That solves the problem on the article that I found it on. Keith D (talk) 23:28, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I think this last change should be reverted. The whole point was to use two tables that when there are enough width will be shown side by side. When there is not enough width (on narrow screens like mobiles), the tables will be shown one over the other. This was done by using two tables with   set. Tholme (talk) 16:38, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The problem is that it didn't work properly. The second column of players didn't merge into the first, it just appeared beneath it, with a gap between the two tables and the header repeated. This wasn't a satisfactory solution as far as I can see. Number   5  7  19:55, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree that having it merged would be the best, but I think it is very difficult to make it work like that. The header is repeated in both cases, but you do not have to scroll sideways and having the tables squished. Repeating the header also have the added benefit that on small screens you can see the header when scrolling. Have you looked at the result for both cases on a mobile? Tholme (talk) 20:26, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I am less bothered about the header than the large gap, which makes it look like a new table starting again. Number   5  7  20:27, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I think the gap should be fixable. I will try in the sandbox and see if I can make this work. See also the comments on Template talk:Football squad player. Maybe we should continue the discussing there? Tholme (talk) 20:32, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Managed to get rid of the gap, but as it is two different tables they don't match up. This probarbly looks even worse... One table in one column is probably the best. Tholme (talk) 21:18, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The result of the RfC was to have a responsive template (which could adjust to a single column on narrow screens), and if this was not possible, to retain the two column system. I wonder whether it might be possible to build a more agile table using a Lua module? Number   5  7  21:21, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually, I don't think what you've done is too bad. The 'not matching up' issue could effectively be hidden by removing the background to the table – then all you'd see was that the 'player' heading was a different length (as everything else is a set width, the other columns all align. Number   5  7  21:23, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, I wonder whether it's possible to resolve by making the 'player' column heading fill whatever the remaining width of the table is (if the two columns are nested inside another hidden table. Ages ago I made a version where this heading width issue is solved, but I couldn't fix the problem of the columns being too far apart when they were side-by-side. Perhaps you could look at that as a potential solution? It is here. Cheers, Number   5  7  21:28, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Just pinging you again in case you didn't see my last two comments. Cheers, Number   5  7  21:31, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I have changed the background to be transparent, getting it to fill the remaining width I do not know how to achieve. Tholme (talk) 20:13, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Cadbury Heath FC
Hi, you just left me a message about CHFC. I'm a club official at the football club and have to say that I find it more than a little irritating that you have felt the need to edit/undo the changes I made to our Wikipedia page yesterday. I notice from your bio that you want to encourage information being shared that isn't commonly known - yet you've stopped that happening for our club page. Not everything needs to have a link to a source - countless pages I view on Wikipedia contain information that isn't referenced. We are a small football club in Bristol, the reason for updating the page is to make sure our club info is as up to date as possible for use by our fellow clubs for match day programmes etc. Ask yourself what possible benefit do I gain by making false claims about club honours and player appearances etc and honestly what difference does it make if they're not referenced. I suggest you look at the page of every other non league club in England if you want to continue your mission of editor for Wikipedia. If you feel that strongly about everything then footnote my "claims" as unsubstantiated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:858C:9E00:89F2:5F94:EBD9:DDAF (talk) 18:57, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello. I left a note on the talk page of the IP address you were using earlier to explain the reasons, including pointing out that your undoing was also removing some corrections, links and sourcing. One problem with not having an account is that you often miss these messages.
 * You are welcome to add the information about Boon if you can provide a reliable source stating that he is the record appearance holder. Any information added to Wikipedia has to be WP:Verifiable by other editors and I could not find any such source (your website notes his number of appearances, but does not state it is a record). You are correct that not everything needs a source – but information that is likely to be challenged, which I think this falls into as a claim with specific numbers, does. Because other articles fail this test does not mean it is ok for the Cadbury Heath one to as well. I have several hundred non-league club articles on my watchlist and I would remove similar information being added to any of them without a source.
 * Also, as a club official, you should not be editing the article – this is a WP:Conflict of interest. You are welcome to make suggestions of how to improve the article by leaving messages on the talk page. Cheers, Number   5  7  19:21, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

About the parliamentary election infobox
The reason why I included non-ethnic parties into the minority parties (which are useful to some parties when certain bills are being passed: see here and here) category in the 1990 Romanian general election was because I was prompted with a warning stating that past the 11th value group, the infobox would only take the last value. Apparently, it shows all values normally, as according to your edits (like this one). Thank you for your interest in election articles! - Victor P. (talk) 12:51, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I think that warning pops up when you inadvertantly have two parameters with the same number (so if you accidentally use  twice). I believe the infobox accepts an indefinite number of parties.  Number   5  7  12:54, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Need an opinion re: Swiss constituency names
Hi! I would like to seek your opinion re: Swiss constituency names prior to 1919. The issue is that these constituencies were officially known by their numbers and were assigned to fixed areas in Switzerland only known through an unofficial name. Complicating this is that Switzerland has changed the assigned numbers on each constituency. Also, prior to the 1851 elections, these constituencies did not have a federal-assigned number and some were not numbered or named by their respective cantons. I would like to ask how do you think we should proceed with this in terms of naming. Thanks. --Migs005 (talk) 06:07, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * A good question. I actually have some excerpts from the Gruner book, as I accessed it in the British Library some time ago, but never got round to transcribing the results. I think it would be best to go with the numbers (e.g. Zurich 1, Zurich 2) where they exist. For the ones with no official numbers, I would just use the description in the Gruner book (he seems to have labelled them 'Fribourg 1, 2 etc). Number   5  7  11:23, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Bernio Verhagen
Hi Number_57,

I can see that you have declined the new article about Bernio Verhagen. However, you have not provided guidance regarding how we should move forward with the article. Bernio Verhagen has received intensive media attention in many countries on several continets for almost a year now but I understand that you believe that he is only notable for one event. Based on the guidelines, it is my understanding that an article should be created about the event in such a situation. Could you please state whether the article about Bernio Verhagen should be changed to an article about the "Event related to Bernio Verhagen" in order to get approved?

I really hope that you will be able to help with this.

Best regards,

Vandurt (talk) 17:05, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * There is no way to move forward. Neither the subject nor the event appear to be notable enough for an article. Not everything in the news is article-worthy. Number   5  7  17:24, 21 September 2020 (UTC)


 * I am very surprised to hear this. Could you please elaborate on this? This event has received continuously media attention for almost a year (including several long reads) in maybe 20 different countries and a documentary about this person/event has been made and aired in television. Thus, the issue (1) has received in depth coverage in the media during a long period of time, (2) has received attention in many different geographical regions and in many different languages, (3) several news paper opinion articles have been written about the event, (4) has received attention beyond the normalt new cycle. Have you read all the articles and seen the documentary? Please provide some argument and let me know how you have reached this surprising conclusion. Vandurt (talk) 17:49, 21 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi Number_57. Never mind the above. I just noticed that someone else has created an article about Bernio Verhagen which has already been approved even though the other article was created long after mine(???). You can access it here Bernio Verhagen. This other version seems to be a direct translation of the Danish version of the article which I have drafted. I guess this shows the inconsistency in wikipedia's approving bureaucracy . I hope that you have changed your mind and that you will not nominate the other Bernio Verhagen article for deletion.

Opinion re: Luxembourg election articles
Hi! I was adding results by constituencies in several Luxembourg election articles and I noticed that in the results summary, percentages are listed down based on constituency percentages according to the source. Tried checking out the per constituency percentages and found that it's hard to connect the percentages in the summary and the per constituency results (assuming there's any connection). I was thinking of revising the summary percentages based on the total number of votes regardless of their participation in a constituency as is the usual case in election pages (best example would be Singapore election articles). I've actually made the mistake of revising the summary percentages without looking at the note but has since reverted them back to their original values. I would like to hear your opinions first on this matter whether to stick with the original values or to change them. Many thanks.Migs005 (talk) 02:45, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * These percentages are officially-published. They are calculated by dividing the party vote in each constituency by the number of seats available, then summing these figures to the national level to calculate the percentages. The idea is to give a true reflection of the vote share, rather than one that is distorted by voters being able to cast more votes in some constituencies than others.
 * I had a long and rather frustrating discussion about this issue at Talk:1974 Luxembourg general election with an editor who was determined not to understand and who repeatedly claimed government sources were not official.
 * I am open to either way to be honest. Now we have Election results that automatically calculates the percentages (which I had planned to start adding to Luxembourg election articles), it might be better to use the raw percentages in tables where it is not calculated automatically. Number   5  7  08:34, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for pointing out that discussion. The calculation now makes more sense. But I'll just leave it to community consensus on what happens with the percentages. There is another issue I've noticed re: Luxembourg election articles. It seems that on earlier elections, the publishing of official results tend to be inconsistent on the various newspapers I've been looking as sources. This usually leads to the summary and the by constituency results having small discrepancies. The 1922 election in particular saw the Luxemburger Wort publishing incomplete results for the Nord constituency (compared to a more complete summary from the Escher Tageblatt source that I ended up citing).Migs005 (talk) 09:18, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Problem with referendum wikitables
Hi, Number 57. I think there is a problem in how these referendum hand-made wikitables are made and used. The recent edits I did on 2006 Italian constitutional referendum made me think about this. The table reports the YES and NO percentage (from the template), which percentage is only for "Valid votes" which can't (probably never) be 100% of the "Total votes" - in that article is 98.88%, not 100%.

Actually, I think the problem is taking the the data from the template which is used for building these wikitables: the template automatically counts in percentage only YES and NO votes, that's why - in the 2006 referendum as example - it transforms 98,88% into (61.32+38.68) 100%. Excluding the 1.12%.

So only "Valid votes" (YES and NO) should be counted as "Total" in the wikitables, and "Invalid/blank" should not be added. This way though the "Registered voters/turnout" will give a wrong number as it counts the "Total votes" - even the "invalid/blank" and not only the "Valid" (YES and NO) ones. This creates en evident dissonance. I don't know if I made myself clear, sorry. Lone Internaut (talk) 13:08, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * If you're using the wikitable format, the invalid/blank should be included, but the percentage not detailed. This means the total votes row is correct for the sums above it.
 * An alternative is to use Referendum, which would display the result in the same way as the infobox, although it doesn't do the calculation automatically, so you have to enter the percentages yourself. Number   5  7  14:13, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Referendum should be definitely used instead of hand-made wikitables. Thanks for the help, goodbye. Lone Internaut (talk) 04:41, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Halesowen Town F.C. Formation
Hello,

While I appreciate and like most of the changes you have made to my additions on the Halesowen Town F.C. page, I do not agree with your decision to change the 'founded' date in the information box. I think it is wrong to state 1870s more generally because it is either 1873 or 1877. There are no other options, so 1870s is too vague. Furthermore, other football clubs, such as Port Vale, use exactly the same terminology to describe their contested formation dates. Therefore, please do not continue to revert to your edit - it is wrong.

Kindest, Ben — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benbullock55 (talk • contribs) 16:58, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * As the formation date is disputed between two dates in the 1870s, stating that the formation happened during the 1870s is clearly not wrong.
 * When you undid the edit (now twice), you undid the numerous other corrections, formatting fixes etc. Hitting the undo button without looking at what you are undoing is known as a "blind revert" and is considered very poor practice. Please stop doing this.
 * While I have let your edits stand, please be aware that it is also considered extremely poor practice to insert references to a book that you have written, as this is a clear conflict of interest. Number   5  7  17:02, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

My apologies, I was under the impression I was only reverting the one change. Nevertheless, I still disagree with the 1870s alteration. It is not that it is 'wrong', but it is needlessly vague, especially when other clubs use the same terminology I did. I hope it is obvious that I am not a wikipedia person; I did not mean to cause offense or create a conflict of interests. None of the edits I have made are out of self-interest, just love of the club. Please consider changing the 1870s date, I think it would be more purposeful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benbullock55 (talk • contribs) 17:12, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I haven't seen the Port Vale article, but I personally don't think the wording "disputed" and "speculated" – particularly the latter – is terribly encyclopaedic.

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
Thank you for your recent articles, including Anna von Gierke, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:26, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Chalfont St Peter AFC
This has been raised with you before. The squad list is sourced and on several other clubs at step 4-6 these are updated on Wikipedia. Thus it makes no sense as to why it was reverted. Please refrain in future from doing this or you will be reported to the site for unwanted reversions.

Who do you think you are [[User talk:Number 57|. Your level of arrogance knows no bounds. I have refrenced players/managers as i have said to you 5 times.I have also asked as to why it cant be used as it makes no other logical sense. If not please provide how details on how it can be refrenced so it stays in place? If you revert again, you will be will be reported and blocked from editing. Please refrain from reverting once again as previously mentioned.

Removal of graphs
Hello Number57,

Recently you have removed some graphs added by me, as for as I know in the 2018 Luxembourg general election and the 2017 Liechtenstein general election. You reasoning is "not sure what graphs add." What gives you the authority to make that judgement? I know that you are an Administrator, but what is a better reasoning for those removals? Also, should not Wikipedia provide a variety of ways to view information?

Also, in consistency, for the 2013, 2009, 2004, 1999, 1994, 1989, 1984, 1979, 1974, 1968 (and so on) Luxembourg elections, there are popular vote and/or seats graphs. Why not 2018? For the 2013, 2009, 2005, 2001, 1997, October 1993, February 1993, 1989 (and so on) Liechtenstein elections, there are popular vote and/or seats graphs. Why not 2017?

Since I am not an Administrator, I will not put those graphs in. But I would like a better reasoning.

Thank you,

Jason594
 * My status as an adminstrator is irrelevant – this is me acting as an editor. I removed the graphs as I think they're not a useful addition to articles; IMO they take up space and don't add anything to the information contained in the table. I tend to delete them whenever I see them being added, or when editing an article that contains them. I have previously brought this up at WP:E&R and most editors who responded agreed, although admittedly there was not much participation in the discussion. Cheers, Number   5  7

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs
Thank you for your recent articles, including Anna von Gierke, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. This can be also done through this helpful user script: User:SD0001/DYK-helper.

Psagot
The template \Infobox Israel village\ states quite clearly on the template page, "This template is meant for Israeli villages" and Psagot is not an Israeli village. We have just had an entire discussion on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2020_September_21#Template:Infobox_Israel_municipality resulting in the deletion of that, which was also being improperly used for some West Bank settlements.

The proper template is the one I put, then editors need to fit in there whatever it is they think should be in there.Selfstudier (talk) 18:08, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * It clearly is an Israeli village. Are you denying Israeli settlements are Israeli?
 * Did you actually look at the impact your change had on the article? Virtually all the parameters in the infobox disappeared. Making disruptive changes for POV reasons is not a good look. Number   5  7  18:13, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Psagot is NOT an Israeli village. This discussion being pointless, I will take it to the talk page of the article.Selfstudier (talk) 18:25, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

I have started some drafts for former civil parishes in Suffolk such as Draft:Hadleigh Hamlet, Draft:Hazlewood, Suffolk, Draft:St Nicholas South Elmham, Suffolk, Draft:Henham, Suffolk, Draft:Withersdale, Draft:Monks Risbridge, Draft:Warren House, Suffolk and Draft:Hardwick, West Suffolk so if you have any information for those you could add it.

 * Thanks for the message. I don't think I have anything useful – the only source I used as standard was population estimates from the county council (which won't cover these defunct parishes) and tended to pull the rest off village websites if they had anything useful in them. I have a book of place name meanings, but I see you've already got that in the articles. 2013 was when I left the county; how time flies... Cheers, Number   5  7  17:46, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Russian Constituent Assembly members
Hi. Noticed you are creating articles on Russian Constituent Assembly members, great work. When I worked on the RCA articles some time back, I really struggled with having good sourcing of elected members and eventually got stuck on this point. Notably the election never had an official result, but different writers choosing to include or not different district results. For the elected members, there was a number of members accredited for the first (and only) session of the assembly but there are many others that could have been considered elected. Some appears to have been included after the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly (when the rump assembly regrouped as an anti-Soviet opposition formation). Ideally I'd prefer only to have accredited members listed as members, but I can only find a original document listing of the members, no WP:RS. --Soman (talk) 00:27, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that's my lot – I was just doing articles on the women who were elected. This site contains an A-Z of Assembly members (also detailing their parties and constituencies), if this is of use. Number   5  7  17:39, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. So, my concern is specifically with the Hrono site (using material from Protosov's research), I used it for the lists but then in some constituencies the number of 'elected' members vary very much with the number of seats initially allocated. For example, comparing with the Soviet era historian Spirin the Protosov numbers are much higher. --Soman (talk) 18:33, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

moved by User:Politicsfan4
Hi,

I had been watching the move log when I noticed the user rename a page to 2018 Guam general election. and I saw your name in the page logs. Should they all be reverted due to WP:NC-GAL? Starzoner (talk) 04:56, 29 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Hey,
 * I moved the page names because elections in the United States do not use demonyms in their page titles, for example, the 2018 governor election in Alaska is named "2018 Alaska gubernatorial election", not "2018 Alaskan gubernatorial election". Using "Guamanian" in the title is not consistent with other American election naming conventions. Politicsfan4 (talk) 05:34, 29 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, this set of moves was incorrect. Contrary to the claim by Politicsfan4, US territories do use the adjectival form in their article titles – for example 2020 Puerto Rican general election or 2020 American Samoan general election. I've moved them all back. Cheers, Number   5  7  12:16, 29 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I was unaware of this, thank you! Politicsfan4 (talk) 16:50, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Seems a little inconsistent. There should be a clearer guideline here instead of just precedent. But I'd go with the territories having the same guideline as the rest of the country. It was originally titled "Guam gubernatorial election" after all and I think Number 57 is the one who changed it and has vigilantly opposed any effort to switch back.

Unecessary Symbols?
Hi. Thank you for fixing up the general elections pages (especially making the 2020 table smaller). However, I noticed you removed the increase/decrease symbols for being unecessary. Is there a reason for this because I have seen them be used in most election tables for other countries (example). I also changed the colour for the MRTKL to be a HEX code rather than the meta/color. This is because the meta/color appeared blue while the actual MRTKL page has a purple colour which is in line with the party logo. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 16:45, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * These symbols are used on some articles, but definitely only a minority (I have several thousand election articles on my watchlist and the vast majority do not use them). I don't think they are a positive addition and I find the use of the Steady template particularly unhelpful as to an uninformed reader, it's not clear what it actually means (is it zero, or is it N/A?)
 * Regarding the MRTKL colour template, for some reason the infobox of the article on the party did not use the template; I have now added it, so there is consistency. If you think colours in meta templates are wrong, you can edit them. This template is at Template:Revolutionary Liberation Movement Tupaq Katari/meta/color.
 * Also, as you'll have seen from my edit summary at the 1997 election article, please never say something is unknown in Wikipedia's voice. It is unknown to you and me, but presumably someone out there knows it. Something can only said to be unknown if we have reliable sources saying it is, rather than simply being unable to find the answer ourselves.
 * A few other tips:
 * Numbers in results tables should be right-aligned
 * Please use meta colour templates where they exist; this ensures consistency across articles if a colour is tweaked
 * I would advise avoiding adding footnotes to tables if the point can be made in other ways. For example, in the 1997 article, the results table isn't really the place to say that the parties contested the previous election together. This could instead be mentioned in the campaign section.
 * Also, something I've just realised that is quite concerning – you changed the 1993 election results for a few candidates and sourced it to a book published in 1983. What is going on with that? I have restored the original source and its numbers. Number   5  7  17:55, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * PS, it seems you're using Visual Editor. This isn't very good when editing tables, as it can make a bit of a mess of the code. I would advise editing the code if you can. Cheers, Number   5  7  18:12, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the assistance, my main focus so far has been on biographies not electoin tables. I use both the Visual Editor and Source Editor. As for sourcing, I see the issue. I used Carlos Mesa's book Presidentes de Bolivia: entre urnas y fusileswith the version I'm using being the third edition published in 2003. However, the original book was published in 1983 and that was the edition cited. Thank you for pointing that out and it has since been corrected.Krisgabwoosh (talk) 18:31, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, another point – red links are not 'dead links'. It's perfectly acceptable (and even encouraged) to have redlinks to topics that are notable but not yet written about. Parties that win seats in national elections are almost always going to be notable, so the links in the 1993 election article are appropriate. See WP:REDYES. Cheers, Number   5  7  18:36, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, very well. Thank you very much for your assistance (and patience). Cheers! Krisgabwoosh (talk) 18:38, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * On another note, now that I have corrected the source date for Mesa's book, there is the issue that the numbers in the 2003 edition are indeed different to Nohlen. The following differences are:
 * Nohlen: AP - 346,865, UCS - 226,816, ARBOL - 30,867, EJE - 18,176, MKN - 12,627.
 * Mesa: AP - 346,811, UCS - 226,819, ARBOL - 30,864, EJE - 18,123, MKN - 12,681.
 * Which source do you believe would be best? Krisgabwoosh (talk) 18:48, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Nohlen is used througout the article series, so probably best for consistency? There also appear to be many more sources using the same figures as Nohlen compared to the Mesa ones The PDBA and this paper also agrees with Nohlen, although the former appears to have a typo in the AP figures. Number   5  7  18:55, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That's probably best. The third edition was published in 2003 and I do not own copies of subsequent editions to see if the numbers have been revised.Krisgabwoosh (talk) 19:00, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

On Mohun Bagan A.C. and ATK Mohun Bagan FC
There is still confusion going on. The new merged club actually have the same logo and jersey of Mohun Bagan A.C.. The owners itself declared that its the continuation of Mohun Bagan. But they act differently on social media. But technically its a new club. But considering the comment from the owners its better to retain the clubs history in the new article.

The iconic green and maroon colours of the Mohun Bagan jersey retained. This ensures that the brand entity is upheld of the century-old club. Poppified (talk) 17:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I am aware that you are not a fan of articles on indirect elections.

 * Yes, because (a) it was unsourced and (b) it's not generally a good idea to have squadlists for clubs playing at low levels, as they are not updated frequently enough. Also, a match report is not a suitable reference for a squad – it only shows the players used on matchday. Number   5  7  17:21, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

First of all I had sourced it from their most recent game. Low level? It’s the second tier in Wales end the squad has been up for most of the year before I actually removed it due to uncertainty over when the season would start. Up until then I had been updating it on a regular basis. AW76 (talk) 18:31, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * As I said, a match report is not a suitable source for a squad. If the club doesn't list the current squad here or the league website doesn't have it, I think you are stuck. Number   5  7  18:47, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

He has never played or managed in a fully professional league? Okay, maybe you do yourself a favour and read again what this page is about, he has played and he is managing in a fully professional league. Really, it's not that difficult.

 * The Meistriliiga is not a fully-professional league – see WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues, where it is listed under 'Top level leagues which are not fully professional'. Number   5  7  22:49, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

So you saying it fails Fails WP:NFOOTY, lets take a closer look:

Players are deemed notable if they meet any of the criteria below:

1. Have played for a fully professional club at a national level of the league structure. This must be supported by evidence from a reliable source on a club by club basis for teams playing in leagues that are not recognised as being fully professional. 2. Have played in a competitive fixture between two fully professional clubs in a domestic, Continental or Intercontinental club competition. 3. Have played FIFA recognised senior international football or football at the Olympic games. 4. Pre-professional (amateur era) footballers to have played at the national level of league football are considered notable (no other level of amateur football confers notability).

1. You can see from the page and from linked sources that he has played in fully professional clubs in the league. 2. So if two fully professional teams are playing in Estonian Meistriliiga(Championship), then it also meets the criteria. I am happy to provide you links to match protocols. 3. He has not been on the pitch but on the registered squad in the international level - U21. 4. Not really sure what is meant by it.

And he is a manager of a fully professional football team, there are only few bottom teams that are semi-professional. As far as I understand, if one of the criteria is met then it meets WP:NFOOTY and he meets pretty much all of them.(Just not sure by the meaning of point 4) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herthaaltedame (talk • contribs) 23:00, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * You are confusing WP:FOOTYN (which is not a guideline) with WP:NFOOTY, which is. He does not pass the guideline's criteria, which only grants notability to senior international players/managers and Players who have played, and managers who have managed, in a competitive game between two teams from fully professional leagues. Number   5  7  23:03, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

But yet what I referred to provides the person a notability in all categories so there is a conflict on what is notable and what is not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herthaaltedame (talk • contribs) 23:17, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * No, there is no conflict. There is only one notability guideline: WP:NFOOTY. What you have quoted above (from WP:FOOTYN) is what the guideline used to be many years ago (it was changed to refer to fully professional leagues in 2007 or possibly earlier) and is only stated there for reference, hence the highlighted text above it stating The player section of this notability guidance has been superseded by WP:Notability (sports), and is included below for information only as a record of the previous guidance that the Footy project came up with. Number   5  7  23:25, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

That's unfortunate, what a great page I created for an up and coming manager, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herthaaltedame (talk • contribs) 12:49, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Template reverts
Might I remind you that consensus isn't a vote, and that giving people two weeks to voice their objections after pinging the wikiproject is far more in line with what we expect conduct wise than using one's admin bit to revert things based on personal aesthetics. The current template causes horrible and unfixable issues on fairly easy-to-hit cases and it was a mistake that I ever brought these changes over during the template rewrite (which I did myself, over the space of months). I don't appreciate having my time wasted like this. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 16:22, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The 'fix' causes horrible issues with the Senior career section, as can be clearly seen at Template:Infobox football biography/testcases. I have left a message on the project talkpage requesting more input. Are you seriously moaning at me for using my admin powers to revert (which I didn't anyway, as the template is only protected to template editor level), when you presumably thought you had used yours to implement something there was clearly no consensus for? Number   5  7  16:25, 17 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I gave it two weeks. I don't really expect to have to summon a Papal conclave to get a template updated. The wrapping is unfortunate, but literally everyone else on the encyclopedia lives with it, and it can be overridden in pathological cases with nowrap. If everything comes down to an ILIKEIT pileon then we'll never improve things. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 16:43, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I've suggested an alternative solution (changing 'Playing position(s)' to 'Position(s)'), that gets the Maradona example to almost exactly the same width as the template below (it's a better match width-wise than the version with the nowrap function removed). This is also consistent with other sports infoboxes (which only use 'Position(s)'), and should knock a good chunk of the width off infoxes like Ali Daei's. Number   5  7  17:33, 17 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Right. Well, let's see if we can work out an acceptable compromise. Cheers. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:52, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

It doesn't appear so. You would need non-routine coverage of him (i.e. not just stories about transfers, joining new clubs, match reports etc) for WP:GNG to be met. I see you have declared a conflict of interest with the subject and that this is your only contribution to Wikipedia. May I ask why you are so keen to get an article on him published?

Would be hard to provide much coverage from non-routine, as he is a football manager and this is his profession and where he works. It just felt a bit frustrated putting in quite a few hours of effort(my first ever Wiki page, so ran into obstacles), to realise it's not meeting the criteria, just because some of his opponents in the league are semi-professional(bottom teams) and looking at what player have their pages, not just in Estonia but I mean more in general, just because they played one U19 match in their career for example. This person, firstly I know him a bit personally, and though I would be interested to make one, as I work in sports data industry myself, so collecting numbers, etc is fun for me. But it's not about personal reasons why I created it. He is probably one of the most promising football managers in the Estonian league right now, if you google you can see he is being covered quite a bit, some shows he has been invited(football-focused). Even though the league here is categorised as "semi-pro", the majority of it is not, they do this for living. This person in topic has been invited in past mulitple times to Bundesliga teams to coaching and also in Premier League(Spurs, Fulham etc.). Anyway, I respect the rulebook here, otherwise, there would be probably too many unnecessary personal pages, but I guess there could be improvements made, especially how smaller football(sports in general) can get recognition.

Regarding inclusion of William Groves (educator) in Category:Australian educators, - the article is in Category:Australian National University faculty, which is a subcategory of Category:Faculty by university or college in the Australian Capital Territory, which is a subcategory of Category:Faculty by university or college in Australia, then Category:Australian academics, which is in Category:Australian educators, thus per WP:SUBCAT, the article does not need to be in Category:Australian educators directly.

Is there something wrong with the category hierarchy? Should one of the categories in the chain be removed from its parent instead? If so, which one? Mitch Ames (talk) 22:44, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I don't think this hierarchy works – I would say Category:Faculty by university or college in Australia should not sit beneath Australian academics (which is stated to be for people of Australian nationality), as not all faculty at Australian university will be Australians. If I can compare it to football, a category like Category:Chelsea F.C. managers is not a subcategory of Category:English football managers, as not all Chelsea managers have been English. Instead we have a top level category Category:Football managers in England, beneath which we have the nationality category (for English managers) and the club categories (for managers of all nationalities) as separate trees. Cheers, Number   5  7  22:57, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That sounds reasonable. Mitch Ames (talk) 00:32, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The big problem with these sort of conversations - it really should be at the Australian notice board (regardless of how inactive it may seem at times) as far too often australian category structures and relationships are discussed and dispensed with in dark corners over the last ten years and more, in terms of trying to find others even interested in the subject can be like (think of any metaphor of an impossible task)... well in the sense of at least seeing if there is any interest at all...

 * Feel free to add something to WP:AWNB, linking to the discussion here. Likewise feel free to constructively comment on the actual issue at hand - the cat structure. Mitch Ames (talk) 02:08, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
Thank you for your recent articles, including Irena Kosmowska, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:08, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Polish United Party politicians


A tag has been placed on Category:Polish United Party politicians requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

What are you doing?
North Korea does not have a parliamentary system.. it has an "Election of Deputies to the Supreme People's Assembly". The term "Election of Deputies" is more correct then parliamentary or general election.. Or are you saying that North Korea has a parliamentary system, is a constitutional monarchy or has Western/liberal democratic system? --Ruling party (talk) 19:47, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

 * And North Korea doesn't have a parliament... --Ruling party (talk) 19:51, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * After a quick Google search. Vietnam officially calls its elections "Elections of the 14th National Assembly" (Laos the same) and the Soviets called it "Election of Deputies to the [number] Supreme Soviet" (see Russian WP). So communist matter.. They don't call their elections legislative, general or parliamentary because their system is neither legislative or parliamentary... --Ruling party (talk) 19:55, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * its not a parliament by any definition that I know off (and by its own constituion https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Peoples_Republic_of_Korea_1998.pdf ) just like the United States Congress is not a parliament.. --Ruling party (talk) 19:58, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

India local elections
I want to get a system down for titling the articles that can be applied to all states, because the way local elections are organized is set in New Delhi and so there's no reason to use a mix of different naming conventions. For the templates I had been differentiating panchayat vs municipal, because these are the two pillars of local government in India; in states where they are held in the same year I just used "local". But in those cases where the articles actually exist they tend to deal with only one or the other — for example the Uttarakhand articles, which are titled "local body" but only cover the municipal elections. On a related note, Walrus Ji did something to each of the India state templates a few days ago; I noticed you undid at least part of it on one of them. Sladnick (talk) 09:15, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I personally think having all elections titled 'local elections' would be the way to go. In the UK we have elections to county councils, metropolitan boroughs, district councils,d unitary authorities and special authorities like the London Assembly, City of London Corporation and Isles of Scilly Council, as well as positions like city mayors and police commissioners all under 2021 United Kingdom local elections etc. Number   5  7  14:02, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Would it be okay if we name all the articles "local" (except where more specific ones already exist) but have separate lists on the templates for panchayat vs municipal? Because it is the Indian system to clearly differentiate them, and as more of these articles are beginning written that's the reality of how it's being implemented. Sladnick (talk) 22:25, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Are the panchayat elections actually notable? From reading Panchayati raj, it looks like they are village councils? We have something similarin the UK (parish councils), but their elections are not deemed notable for the purposes of Wikipedia. Number   5  7  22:35, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, the gram panchayat, village-level elections are only the lowest tier of the system. There are also zila panchayat, which are like the equivalent of counties, and then most states have an intermediate tier of panchayat samiti. The elections for all these posts are generally held at the same time; some states hold the village elections separate from the higher tiers, but even then it's coordinated state-wide so millions or tens of millions still participate in the voting. Sladnick (talk) 22:43, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Article on the system in India. Sladnick (talk) 22:59, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * As you know far more about the subject than me, I will defer to you on a decision. Cheers, Number   5  7  23:10, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

So
So I was waiting for a response so that we could resolve this, and you deleted our conversation?? --Ruling party (talk) 23:54, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Since you're not willing to act constructively and reach a common solution that will improve the article I will take this conflict to an administrator or a board of administrators (if that even exists).
 * Wikipedia is collaboration. If you change you made I'm always here, but if you're not interested I'm going to contact responsible stakeholders that can help us reach a conclusion that makes that article better. --Ruling party (talk) 22:28, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I've provided you with evidence that your move and changes were not correct. What more do you want? If you insist you are correct as you did during the discussion over the North Korean election articles, you can start another WP:RM on the article's talk page. You could also use the WP:RfC process to request comments on whether the parliament was unicameral or bicameral. Number   5  7  22:35, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I provided you with the constitution and a third party source that you're position is incorrect. YOu are acting like my references don't count.
 * As for the North Korean election I am correct. The title of the page is titled incorrectly. North Korea does not have a parliamentary system and you know that as well. That argument proves however that you are in WP:BADFAITH towards me and are using it as an argument that to avoid having a proper discussion. --Ruling party (talk) 22:59, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see what else there is to discuss – I don't have anything more to say than what I've already said (and I will again point out that the constitution says nothing about whether the parliament was bicameral or unicameral). Start an RM or RfC if you want other views on the matter. Number   5  7  23:02, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It has to be the first constitution that fails to state that its parliament is composed of two houses... And you are again "forgetting" the other source.
 * I propose splitting the article, one about the National Assembly of the Kingdom of Laos and another about the Privy Council of the Kingdom of Laos. I'll try to write an article that is similar to the Prime Minister of Laos article.
 * Does that sound like a fair bargain? --Ruling party (talk) 16:38, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The article does not need splitting, as it is a valid article by itself. However, there is nothing stopping you creating additional articles on the two houses if they can be expanded significantly beyond what is in the existing article (although you should not use this an an opportunity to claim that the National Assembly was unicameral). The upper house is referred to as the King's Council in most sources, so the article title should be King's Council (Laos) if an article were to be created. Number   5  7  17:31, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm asking to split this article so we don't end up with an edit-warring and administrators that fix this for use. We make the current page a disambig page and we don't use the term "unicameral" and "bicameral". --Ruling party (talk) 10:38, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't support this. Again, if you want to make changes to the article, start an RfC or similar. I am not going to agree to your proposals.  Number   5  7  13:11, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Two-chances-system tournament
Hello!

Thank you very much for your quick revision!

I do confirm, that I am the author of the papers on the concept. I have written this papers in 2012 and 2013. This papers are now in the german national library. I have designed this Wikipedia-article just as a reference for another type of tournament. I have wrote it in a neutral manner. I would like to keep this knowledge alive, maybe somebody finds it interesting and useful.

Can you please explain me, what is the problem. What must I do?

Best regards --Mathecrat (talk) 20:35, 29 January 2021 (UTC)


 * The main problem is that the subject does not appear to have any notability. The only reference used in the article that mentions the idea is your book, and searching online, the only mentions of the concept are either websites selling the book, articles you wrote about it, or the German Wikipedia article you wrote.
 * Secondly, you have an clear WP:Conflict of interest with the subject and should not be writing an article on it. I would suggest you make this clear on the German Wikipedia, where the article is in mainspace. You can read about their rules at de:Wikipedia:Interessenkonflikt. Basically, you should not be using Wikipedia (of any language) to promote your ideas. Number   5  7  21:01, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello dear, I hope you are doing well. Today I checked the page of Kosovo and it is a fight of edits and reverts because of a recognition from the state of Comoros.

They say that Comoros still recognize Kosovo as an independent country. At the time the statement of withdraw from Comoros was not an official call from the state.

 * As far as I can work out, the outcome of the vote is not in the record. The final record of the discussion at the top of page 2397 was:
 * We will now vote on the whole law.
 * Voting
 * The Nazis and Nazi Collaborators (Punishment) Law, 1950, with the wording of the committee was adopted.
 * The only figures provided for votes are those on Bar-Yehuda's proposed amendments to sections 10 and 11 (which were rejected by 24–19 and 21–18 respectively) on the previous page. It may be the case that the vote was unanimous or passed by a show of hands. However, I would recommend asking a fluent Hebrew speaker like Ynhockey to double check. Number   5  7  22:43, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Correct, it doesn't say who voted how, or even how many for or against, for the entire law. The translation given by Number 57 is correct. —Ynhockey (Talk) 14:54, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! (t &#183; c)  buidhe  15:08, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

RE: Brentwood
Judging by the dates, I should assume the 764 figure is for the 'new' club, with the 4,000 figure v Northampton being a part of the club that was absorbed into Chelmsford City in 1970. That being said, it'd probably be a good idea to have both figures in the records section. NouveauSarfas (Talk page) 23:45, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Edgware Town F.C Honours list revert
"Honours are still typically listed separately as a summary, or were you just being disruptive to make a point?)" - No. If a section that has no references in has the list in a previous section why repeat the information twice. The honours in the history section is effectively a prose list with an actual list repeating it. Given the style in MOS:LIST. Either move the honours from the History section to the Honours section or remove the Honours section. Sciencefish (talk) 12:43, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

So yet again you are deleting work that’s takes my time to input, I reworded the bulk of the source I received the information from, but you just cannot help yourself, you have got on a reverting spree so much so that you have referenced everything to a website that no longer exists, you need to look at what you are doing if you are desperately following everything I do in the hope of reverting my work. Skippo10 (talk) 17:00, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * You didn't reword it – huge chunks were copy/pasted word-for-word (which you have previously been warned not to do) – simply changing the occasional word in a sentence does not make ok. Also, the text you were copying was written in a tone unsuitable for Wikipedia. The reason I spotted your edits is because the article in question is on my watchlist. Number   5  7  17:11, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Well it’s a matter of opinion isn’t it, will you be adding the correct references to make up for your error in deleting off what I had done? Skippo10 (talk) 18:01, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The fact that you didn't reword it is not a matter of opinion. But yes, I have already repaired the reference. Number   5  7  18:21, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Well I said I did, you said I didn’t, so that’s an opinion isn’t it Skippo10 (talk) 19:14, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * A few examples of your "rewording" below (some sentences are identical; others have one or two words changed, highlighted in turquoise. You even copied across the grammatical error "sort after"). If you don't think this is a copyright violation, you should not be editing Wikipedia. Number   5  7  19:39, 1 March 2021 (UTC)


 * You may have more time than I do getting the old fine toothcomb out to access everyone else's edits, I think it is difficult to re-word most of that really, I don't see what the issue is myself, its not word for word, it just seems to me to be nit picking, but whatever helps you sleep at night fella. I'm more interested in trying to improve the articles of non league clubs than going round crying about things that are neither here nor there. Skippo10 (talk) 21:52, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * These sentences can easily be reworded. If you're unwilling to take my word for it that this is an issue and not 'nit-picking', perhaps Diannaa (who has previously given you a copyright warning) may like to offer a second opinion. Number   5  7  22:00, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Skippo10, the content is almost identical to the source, and is therefore a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy, a formal policy with legal implications. Please don't do this any more, or you risk being blocked from editing.— Diannaa (talk) 22:05, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The big guns are in, okay I'm so very sorry for what I have done, I only hope and pray you will both be able to accept my sincerest of apologises for all the grief I have caused you, and I will really try to do better next time. Oh how trying to edit articles and bring more information to the public domain can be such a minefield, and one that comes with so many threats too. Skippo10 (talk) 22:49, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Just a quick question
do you agree with this edit? Idan (username is Zvikorn) (talk) 09:03, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The capitalisation fix is correct and squad nationalities really do need to be sourced. To be honest, I think it would be best if the lists were simply deleted. Hardly any of the players are notable and non-league club squads change frequently (usually much more so than pro clubs). Number   5  7  09:15, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , as far as I am aware the nationalities were listed on squad websites. Also during the virus the squad has not changed and because it is Hashtag they would announce anything related on all socials. Idan (username is Zvikorn) (talk) 10:57, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Citation style
Giving the name of the article's author does not change the citation style. That's just adding more information. Giving the author's name is allowed in the citation style you're using. So the part I don't understand is why you are against making the citation better. WP:CITEVAR says: "The following are standard practice: improving existing citations by adding missing information". Aquila89 (talk) 15:21, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The author of news website pieces is not part of the style as far as I'm concerned, hence why I never list it. 'better' is your own view on the matter and not one I share. Number   5  7  15:24, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It's one thing that you don't list it, but you don't even allow others to list it? Seriously? Look at every single featured article, the author's name is always given when they cite news articles. Aquila89 (talk) 15:28, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * For news websites, I think the author of the piece is largely irrelevant and therefore not needed.
 * What is done on featured articles is irrelevant: "Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style... to make it match other articles". Number   5  7  15:35, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The author's name, as you yourself have admitted, is not part of the citation style, therefore I don't change the citation style if I add it. If you think it's not needed, don't add it, but do you really have to actively remove it? Are you planning to go through every article about every Israeli politician and remove the author names? Aquila89 (talk) 15:38, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The first bit doesn't make any sense; if it's not part of the style, adding it is changing the style. To the second part, I review any changes that pop up on my watchlist (which includes several hundred MKs), and any I deem to violate CITEVAR, I will revert. Number   5  7  16:00, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * By "not part of the citation style" I mean that whether is there or not, the citation style doesn't change. Do you think the author of the article is irrelevant even if they're important enough to have their own Wikipedia page? Aquila89 (talk) 16:03, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * To the first part, it is quite clearly a change in style. To the second part, yes. Number   5  7  16:05, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Question relating to recent edit
Hey, i just wanted to ask, moreso make sure i know the reasoning, behind the removal of the image from List of Knesset speakers. the picture of Dov Shilansky is Present on his page, which is the reasoning behind its addition. in the case in which the image is not suitable for use on english wikipedia, id recommend its removal from the individual's page, otherwise, id like to make sure that im aware of the protocol or guideline responsible for determining which pages on a single language's wikipedia an image is or isnt suitable for use on Totalstgamer (talk) 10:54, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * As you can see at File:Dov Shilansky.jpeg, the image is a non-free image, which means it is still under copyright. These are only allowed to be used on Wikipedia under limited conditions and in limited situations. For photos of people, this usually means only using it on their biography and not any other article related to them; the rationale in the summary section linked above details which articles the image is allowed to be used on (i.e. Dov Shilansky). Number   5  7  11:01, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I see. thanks for the quick answer, i've found an additional image available under creative commons, which will substitute the knesset photo on his page Totalstgamer (talk) 11:05, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Hugh Fraser Ayson.png
Thanks for uploading File:Hugh Fraser Ayson.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:35, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

United Federal Party
Hi there, would you mind explaining why you repeatedly keep deleting information about this article? I study Southern African history and the party is clearly an important part of the Rhodesian era of Zimbabwean history that bizarrely is almost completely attributed to the far right Rhodesian Front. Is it due to the change in name from URP to UFP? If I were to add information the the URP, would you delete that too? Several sources state that it is virtually the same party that was founded in 1932, with the same members, leadership, policies and electorate, why did you delete it? Additionally, if you want to keep things to the Federal era, the breakup of the party and the lead up from 1958-1962 is an extremely important time in Zimbabwean history, why are you ignoring the history of the tensions between Todd, Whitehead, the NDP and RF? Did you even read and analyse any of the sources provided?

I'm happy to keep the article to the federal era, if that is your chief concern, but the leadup to the party's demise and the reasons for the end of that period are very relevant to this article. Keeping it as a stub, erases a crucial period in Zimbabwean history, that is scarcely told due to the dominant eras of Ian Douglas Smith and Robert Mugabe. I don't understand your gatekeeping of this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.232.213 (talk) 16:33, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree that the article should be expanded given the party's historical significance. However, there were issues with virtually all the text you added, detailed below (you'll see that I did read the sources, and that was one of the reasons for removing the text):
 * "had dominated politics in Southern Rhodesia from 1932". This appears to be referring to the United Rhodesia Party, as the UFP was not established until 1957. You are welcome to add information to the URP article that concerns anything pre-1957.
 * "it had gained the nickname, 'the Establishment'" This claim is sourced to this paper, which does not support it.
 * "Tensions over the future of the Federation between the liberals and moderates within the party, represented by the figures of Garfield Todd and Edgar Whitehead, respectively, as well as mounting pressure from African nationalists (the NDP, later ZAPU and ZANU) and the hard-right segregationist Dominion Party (later renamed the Rhodesian Front), led to the UFP's defeat in the 1962 elections and its disappearance from the political scene altogether just two years later." I was considering keeping this text in, but it is sourced to here, which does not appear to support any of the various claims made in the sentence.
 * "The UFP's policies can be compared to that of the United Party of South Africa or the mid-century Australian Liberal Party." Again, not supported by the source. Not is it clear why such a comparison is necessary – feels like it's being written for an essay rather than an encyclopaedic entry.
 * "Today, outside of perhaps Todd and to a lesser extent Higgins, the UFP has largely been forgotten in contemporary Southern Africa." This just seems an odd thing to say – again perhaps appropriate for an essay, but not an encyclopaedic entry. Also, I can't see where or how it is supported by the source used.
 * Your additions to the see also section were already listed in the text, and are a violation of MOS:NOTSEEALSO.
 * I hope that answers your question. I would suggest that it might be worth proposing amendments to the current text on the article's talk page so it can be discussed before being added to the article. Cheers, Number   5  7  17:15, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
