Liberian districts
Hello! It seems you have created many of the current Liberian House district articles. I wanted to thank you for this, and ask you for help with updating them. Liberia has redistricted in 2023, the new maps are available here. Many of the changes are subtle, but they exist. I've been updating the district articles how I can, but I don't really know how to describe the district maps like you did. Would you be interested in updating the district geographic descriptions?

 * Hi . Many thanks for reaching out. I would want to have a look at this, but probably won't have time to be able to dig into it over the coming weeks unfortunately. --Soman (talk) 23:55, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

1924 Užhorod by-election
Could you tell me how you reconstructed the results

The many sources confuse me Braganza (talk) 20:09, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The main ref is the Hungarian one: " A képviselõházi választások alkalmával a 254 200 érvényes szavazatból a Kommunista Párt 100 242, a

Zsidó Néppárt 17 941, a Csehszlovák Szocialista Párt 20 068, az Õslakosok Autonóm Pártja 28 113, a Köztársasági Földmûves és Kisgazdapárt 15 058, a Zsidó Demokrata Párt 9914, a Szociáldemokrata Munkáspárt 20 998, a Ruszin Földmûves Párt 11 107, az Autonóm Földmûves Szövetség 21 161, a Független Magyar Szociáldemokrata Párt 2828, az Orosz Nemzeti Párt 2780, a Polgári Párt 2748, a magyar Kisgazdapárt 1242 szavazatot kapott. A kommunisták a szavazatok 39,43 százalékát szerezték meg, s ezzel a lehetséges 9 mandátumból négyet szereztek meg. Három mandátum jutott a kormánypártoknak, egy-egy a Kurtyák Iván vezette Autonóm Földmûves Szövetségnek (a szavazatok 8,32%-a) és a Ruszinszkói Õslakosság Autonóm Pártja listáján szereplõ magyar pártoknak (11,06%)." --Soman (talk) 19:29, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * thanks Braganza (talk) 19:17, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Orosz Nemzeti Párt sounds like Russian National Party to me, they also ran with the national democrats in 1929 & 1935 Braganza (talk) 19:45, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

PROD removals
Hi there, I see you have been removing PROD tags from articles about minor parties with zero sources. With this particular edit you removed a PROD tag and claimed that "all facts in this article are easily verifiable by a quick google search, I did it and it took me 20 seconds to find potential sources" - if that's the case why didn't you add them? I'd also point out political parties are not inherently notable nor exempt from WP:ORGCRITE. AusLondonder (talk) 10:41, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello . I saw a number of prods/speedies yesterday, and in all honesty I found the deletion rationales weak,


 * Patriotic Front for Change - "Unsourced for nearly two decades, fails WP:V". There is no rule against unsourced articles (apart from WP:BLP), and to claim that the article "fails WP:V" is a blatantly false statement. The sole factoid of the article, namely that the party won mandate in national election is easily verifiable, for example https://www.google.at/books/edition/Historical_Dictionary_of_Burkina_Faso/PzXEKPYNXm8C (page 69). The long-standing consensus is that parties represented in national parliamentary bodies are sufficiently notable to warrant articles.
 * On Independent Party of Mozambique, I recreated and added more sources. There was clear no prior due diligence to view if there were any other sources available. Clearly this was not an apt use of CSD template.
 * On Aruban Liberal Organization you stated "Unsourced for two decades, hard to find any sources anywhere". Now it turns out that the Aruban Liberal Organization sat in the national parliament and was part of the governing coalition, https://www.rd.nl/oud/011001home.html?pg=vp%2F011001vp03.html . Here you can find the electoral results of OLA 1993, 1994, 1997 and 2001, during which it won seats in all the parliamentary elections during this period. The OLA minister in the government was Glenbert F. Croes ( https://espanol.24ora.com/glenbert-croes-recomendo-a-mike-eman-pasar-al-retiro/ ). The nl.wiki article has 6 references. So how did you come to the conclusion that it was quote "hard to find any sources anywhere"?
 * The bottom line is that if you make statements that imply that it would be impossible or very difficult to verify the details of an article, then those claims would need to stand being tested. I do occasionally nominate articles for deletion (csd, prod or afd, depending on situation, I've even nominated my own creations, such as Articles for deletion/Egyptian Marxist Organisation) but I don't just add tags on a hunch. Each deletion nomination needs to be prepared one by one, and moreover it is important not to fall into the trap to assume that article subjects in the Global South would be inherently non-notable. --Soman (talk) 22:59, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
