List of constituencies of the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly

 * Nominator(s): -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

My fifth FL nom and the third in the constituency series. This time it is a larger list with 230 constituencies. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Comments

 * "As of 2001, it comprises 230 members" - 2001 was more than 20 years ago, so the present tense is not appropriate. Surely there is more up-to-date info available?
 * "The 2011 census of India stated that the Scheduled castes and the Scheduled tribes constitute a significant portion of the population of the state" => "The 2011 census of India stated that the Scheduled castes and the Scheduled tribes constituted a significant portion of the population of the state" (past tense, as 2011 was more than 10 years ago). I presume more up-to-date data has not been published?
 * "After the independence of India in 1947, the then province of the Central Provinces and Berar, along with a number of princely states merged with the Indian Union, and became a new state" => "After the independence of India in 1947, the then province of the Central Provinces and Berar, along with a number of princely states, merged with the Indian Union and became a new state"
 * "The number of constituencies of the legislative assembly of this state was 184. 127 constituencies were single-member, and 48 constituencies were double-member" => "The number of constituencies of the legislative assembly of this state was 184, of which 127 were single-member and 48 were double-member"
 * "Madhya Pradesh was reorganized on 1 November 1956, following the States Reorganisation Act, 1956. It was created by merging the old Madhya Pradesh state, Madhya Bharat, Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal states." => "Madhya Pradesh was reorganized on 1 November 1956, following the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, merging the old Madhya Pradesh state, Madhya Bharat, Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal states."
 * I notice that you use both the US spelling "recognized" and the UK spelling "recognised". I don't know which is the correct spelling in Indian English but whichever it is should be used in all cases.
 * That's it, I think! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:27, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Switched from "As of 2001," to "From 2001," which is what I meant. I can clarify/reword that statement further, if required.
 * I assume you mean reorganized, not recognized. I've switched to the spelling used in the name of the act: "Reorganisation", which is the UK one. There is still one instance of "Reorganization", but that is from the title of a paper by two US authors.
 * The 2021 census of India hasn't yet taken place. 2011 is the latest completed census.
 * Fixed the rest. Thanks for the review, ChrisTheDude. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:23, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Drive by comments

 * This is my first time commenting on FLC, so please take this with a grain of salt.
 * Alt text missing for File:Madhyapradesh Legislative Assembly.jpg and File:Wahlkreise zur Vidhan Sabha von Madhya Pradesh.svg.
 * "The 2011 census of India stated that the Scheduled castes and the Scheduled tribes constituted a significant portion of the population of the state, at 15.6% and 21.1% (ref) respectively." Ref could be placed at the end of sentence, per MOS:PF.
 * The text in History section is unreferenced. Is there any particular reason for this, considering the History section for articles on Mizoram and Tripura are referenced? Nitro Absynthe (talk) 20:11, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Fixed all. Thanks for the review. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:26, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Comments
Looks good to me apart from the above comments. NapHit (talk) 20:10, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * "After the split, 90 of them were assigned to the new state (Chhattisgarh), while the remaining 230 composed the reduced Madhya Pradesh legislative assembly." don't think you need while in this sentence. Flows better without it
 * Does the constituencies table not need a symbol to go along with the colour? For visually impaired users.
 * Is ref 24, covering the constituencies table? Because it's not clear what's referencing that table at the moment


 * I feel that the 230 number (in the cell next to it) needs to be explained. I've removed the explanation for where the 90 seats went. See if this wording works better.
 * The color is always along with the texts SC or ST, which is why a separate symbol isn't needed IMO. I can add these abbreviations to the legend if you think that it would help.
 * Yes, if you could make that change, that would help a lot. I didn't realise that, so clarifying it will help readers. NapHit (talk) 13:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Done. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 14:04, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Ref 24 does have the current list of constituencies, but ref 28 has the same list, as well as the updated number of electors from 2023 (the latest election). I've put that in the header cell for the electors column.
 * Thanks for the review. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:22, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Issues have been fixed and just a minor one to fix, so I'm happy to support. NapHit (talk) 13:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey man im josh

 * Ref 6 – Could you add
 * Ref 7, 12, and 15 – Remove "Election Commision of India" from the title and move it to the publisher field. I also note that all of the other references from the commision include.
 * Ref 22 – Link is dead, mark as such
 * Ref 24 – No publisher listed

Other than that, I don't believe I have any criticisms. Please ping me when these have been addressed. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:31, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Aargh, the Election Commission of India (ECI), in its infinite wisdom, has changed the urls for the delimitation reports. I've updated the relevant refs, but it will not be possible to archive these new urls due to the geo-restriction that the ECI has put on them. For ref 24, I've put Gazette of India as the publisher, but it could be argued that it should be Delimitation Commission of India instead. Fixed the rest. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:28, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
