Tongan election

Hello Batmacumba. Welcome to Misplaced Pages and thank you for your contributions to the Tongan election article. Do you have a source for the seat figures for parties? Annoyingly the official government website doesn't seem to include party affiliation (at least in the sections I found). Cheers, Number 57 18:43, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

This one: http://www.nzkanivapacific.co.nz/2014/11/11-candidates-for-nobility-vs-9-democrats-6-independents-decide-which-party-to-form-government/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+pt-kanivaenglish+%28Kaniva+News+English%29#.VHd2UsnhjNs. I doubt that the small parties mentioned actually ran in the election (I am actually fairly sure they didnt) with the possible exception of Clive Edwards party (but I think he ran as an independent this time). DPFI is known simply as "The Party" in Tonga and its basically the only organized party, the rest were always very small groups, one of them basically a one man show.--Batmacumba (talk) 19:16, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Great, thank you, I've added it to the table, along with the total number of votes. I've removed the other parties from the results table for now, as it seems like you may be right - they aren't mentioned in any of the news articles. Number 57 22:38, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

By the way, if you're interested in contributing to election articles across a range of countries, you might want to join WikiProject Elections and Referendums. Cheers, Number 57 23:40, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Moldova seats - source

Hi Batmacumba. What was your source for the seats won in the Moldovan elections? IPs have been adding them all day, but I can't seem to find any confirmation online. Cheers, Number 57 23:33, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Numbers from http://www.alegeri.md/en/ . They are based on 98,3% counted, but unlikely to change.--Batmacumba (talk) 00:18, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks – I'd forgotten about that site – one of the best ones on elections and political parties that I've come across for any country – a while ago I created loads of articles on Moldovan parties, and it was a great resource. Cheers, Number 57 00:33, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Just an FYI on results tables – we always compare the seats won to the previous election, not the situation directly before the elections (this can be done in the infobox though). Number 57 17:05, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Okay, fair enough. I will revert.--Batmacumba (talk) 17:07, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Don't worry, I already have done. I've also updated the infobox to include the full range of info. Number 57 17:12, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dominican general election, 2014, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page United Workers Party. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dominica

You are correct that the UWP won two by-elections in 2010, but both the seats were already held by them (Edison Chenfil James won Marigot and Hector John won Salisbury in the 2009 elections). Cheers, Number 57 09:51, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Okay, you changed my ref to the election (dunno why). It gives the actual results instead of just an article, so I prefer that one and has reinstated it.--Batmacumba (talk) 10:06, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

I changed it because the sentence that's being referenced only says the number of seats won (which the article does). If you want a general link to the election details on the Sun website, it should be an external link - inline citations are usually meant to be to a specific article stating the fact being referenced. For instance, in this edit, you've added this page as a reference to the claim "Under Dominica's electoral system, the Prime Minister has the authority to call elections at any time and is only required to give a minimum of twenty-five days notice." but that fact appears nowhere on the Sun page that you've linked to.
