Years in politics articles.

The 2009 in politics, 2010 in politics, 2011 in politics articles need work. I have just now created a stubby 2012 in politics article but it need work. The whole series probably could do with checking over. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:38, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Personally i think it should be deleted as just another list to update with weblog like newspostings and nothing noable. as in half of those ITN-related lists(Lihaas (talk) 21:21, 19 April 2012 (UTC)).

There is a series of articles going back to at least 2001. I think it is worth keeping them. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 05:52, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I am deeply skeptical about their value to readers. No doubt they provide editors with an opportunity to make ritual edits in multiple articles. bobrayner (talk) 23:24, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Polling order

In Talk:United_States_Senate_election_in_Massachusetts,_2012#Polling_order, we are having a dispute concerning whether polls should be listed in chronological or reverse-chronological order. I would appreciate any outside input from the broader group of editors who contribute to these articles. Thanks! johnpseudo 16:17, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Globalization Project Proposal

HI WikiPolitics! I'm writing to inform you of my interest in starting a group that works on articles about globalization, in order to improve coverage of globalization on Misplaced Pages. Your group has banners on some of the articles that are key to this discussion, and I believe many perspectives and disciplines needs to come together if we're going to get it right. If you would consider supporting such a project, would you please swing by the Globalization Project Proposal and expressing that interest? Thanks so very much!

Class Conflict Article

Because of the popular reemergence of the words "Class warfare" in the US political arena, I took a couple days rewriting and combining the Class conflict and Class Struggle articles into one Class conflict article. I noticed it has the some assessments on it. Perhaps now the article can be reassessed. Please leave me a "mission accomplished" message on my talk page if and when it's reassessed. Thanks. --XB70Valyrie (talk) 07:12, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2011

Hi. The Wikimedia Foundation received a courtesy notice from the United States Department of State advising that their 2011 Human Rights Reports for 199 countries have been released. Naturally, they imagine we might be interested in the information or links for potential inclusion in Misplaced Pages articles: . (They have similar reports related to Human Rights here.)

The person who contacted us noted that many articles don't seem to address human rights issues on countries and adds that "Given the prominence that discussions of human rights in global affairs, I would respectfully submit that it’s worth a chapter heading for major countries."

Since the Wikimedia Foundation does not create or curate content in the articles, this is, of course, a community matter. I'm passing along the information to your project and a few others (Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Human rights; Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Countries; Misplaced Pages:WikiProject International relations) in case you find the information useful or in case her suggestion spurs discussion. If there's a better place that you know of, please feel free to pass it on. :)

Thanks! --Maggie Dennis (WMF) (talk) 15:04, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

That looks interesting and useful. Thanks for letting us know! bobrayner (talk) 15:31, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Report on the use of self-published sources

The first version of a report on the use of self-published sources is now available, in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Misplaced Pages reliability. Some of the self-published sources listed in the report pertain to this project.

Suggestions on the report itself (a discussion has started here), and help in remedying the use of the self-published items that relate to this project will be appreciated. History2007 (talk) 06:09, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Barack Obama FAR

Clientelism

In addition to being very dense, the page is written in highly academic language. Perhaps revising it, varying sentence length, more imple english etc might improve it.173.178.174.63 (talk) 02:42, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Parliament of Sweden

In parenthetical disambiguation, and in page names in general, should we use 'Parliament of Sweden' or 'parliament of Sweden'? Current usage is inconsistent, with

• Committee on Civil Affairs (Parliament of Sweden)
• Committee on the Constitution (Parliament of Sweden)

on the one hand and, on the other,

• Committee on Finance (parliament of Sweden)
• Committee on Foreign Affairs (parliament of Sweden)
• Committee on Justice (parliament of Sweden)

Thank you, -- Black Falcon 01:30, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Note: WikiProject Sweden has been notified. -- Black Falcon 01:30, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

In parenthetical disambiguation, and in page names in general, should we use 'Parliament of Sweden' or 'parliament of Sweden'? -- Black Falcon 21:23, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

• Upper case for proper nouns. If the correct translation from Swedish is 'Parliament of Sweden', then capitalise, if not, then lower case. As in House or House of Commons (British), but lower house or upper house (British, Australian, etc). Peter S Strempel | Talk 23:42, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

  That's the key issue, I suppose. Parliament of Sweden#Name contains the following unsourced sentence: "In the Swedish constitution, the word is written with a lower-case 'r', thus marking that it is actually not a name of the parliament, but that it is just 'the parliament'." Usage across the English Misplaced Pages (e.g., Category:Members of the parliament of Sweden) and even in the Swedish Misplaced Pages (see sv:Sveriges riksdag) supports this.

  However, that claim is inconsistent with multiple key, English-language reliable sources, all of which capitalize 'Riksdag' or the word 'Parliament' when it refers to the Riksdag.

  1. This translation, hosted by the University of Bern, of the Constitution of Sweden—e.g., "Ordinary elections for the Parliament shall be held every fourth year."
  2. This information booklet, published by the Swedish Ministry of Justice—e.g., "The Riksdag, which consists of a single chamber, is made up of 349 members."
  3. This information page, hosted by Sweden.se ("The official gateway to Sweden")—e.g., "... a rule intended to prevent very small parties from getting into the Riksdag."
  4. This translation of the Constitution of Sweden, provided by the Riksdag itself—e.g., "Only a person who is entitled to vote may be a member or alternate member of the Riksdag."

Sentinel of the Republic

I wanted to start a conversation about this because the page has been waiting for assessment and I've read it over and found it be a complete rendering of the limited information available on the party. I think it would be helpful to try to include Williams college and gain whatever other information may be available on the subject. I think it would also be helpful to create a new category of political movements of the 20th century. It would like to see some more images many of which may be available at Williams college.

I hope this helps

Comparative Politics Textbook

Hello all! I’m working with the Saylor foundation to create a series of original, crowd-sourced textbooks that will be openly licensed and freely available on the web and within Saylor’s free, self-paced courses at Saylor.org. We are using Wikibooks as a platform to host this project and hope to garner the interest of existing members of the Wikibooks and Misplaced Pages community, as well as bring in new members! We thought that some of your members may be interested in contributing to our book Saylor.org's Comparative Politics. Azinheira (talk) 18:27, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
