There's a CFD for Category:Animal rights activists; the members of an animal rights project don't want the subcat for "activists"; a couple of us who have been categorizing and diffusing various people categories (Category:People by occupation" and Category:Activists) think it's important to be consistent. Thoughts from other people-categorizers welcome, since this could set precedent for other movement pages. The discussion has gotten really bogged down b/w Wikiproject:Animal rights movement folks (generally opposed) and categorizers (generally in favor). Perhaps some folks from other politics projects could raise new points, make helpful discussions & generally shed some light on this unhappily irresolved discussion. --lquilter 16:07, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
American members of the project might want to go have a look at Independent (voter) - I have my suspicions that the article needs some attention from knowledgeable Wikipedians. Josh Parris 03:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
This week's work on the Chicago COTW has brought me to the subject of local elections that are regularly scheduled at a different time than the national Election Day. I grew up in New York where all significant elections occur on election day. However, I now live in Chicago where municipal elections are held in the spring. I believe New Orleans has a similar tradition of local elections at a time other than election day. I believe New Orleans often has Saturday local elections. My question is whether there is a list or article about out of season election scheduling. Please reply to my talk page if possible. TonyTheTiger 15:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi! You might have noticed that Comparative politics (and Comparative Politics) redirect to Comparative government. That is not really correct, considering that the subfield of Political Science is generally known as "Comparative Politics", and that "Comparative Government" is only an application of Comparative Politics to the study of forms of government (see also Talk:Comparative government). So I'm writing an article on Comparative Politics (work in progress on my sandbox) and I would appreciate someone to review it and share some comments. Eventually I plan on copying the text on Comparative politics and making some small changes to Comparative government in order to harmonise the two articles. After that, I also plan on changing the Politics template, by substituting "Comparative government" with "Comparative politics".
I'd like to know what you think of that. Thanks for you comments! SFinamore 20:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Right now, both the Fourth Balkenende cabinet and the Prodi II Cabinet articles are referenced on the main page, so I couldn't help but notice that there seems to be no standard for naming the articles for parliamentary cabinets. I have no particular opinion on the subject, but it would seem to me that hashing out a convention now, while there are still relatively few articles written in this area would be a good thing. I would say that based on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (government departments and ministers) at a minimum the standard agreed upon should include the country in parentheses at the end of the article name. Caerwine Caer’s whines 05:25, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Considering that this article should be the main focus of the project, it's been severely neglected. Until I added some references today, the entire thing was unsourced, mainly original research, and rated as Start-Class on the quality scale. At the moment, there are several sections on views of political power and the tripartite classification of authority that are already covered in the separate articles on those subjects; if no one disagrees, I will remove those sections (which are unsourced) and, where necessary, merge them into their relevant articles. And while we're on the subject, Left-right politics needs a major rewrite as well. Walton Vivat Regina! 16:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I added a list of Political Science entries from a Norwegian-English political science dictionary to one of my user pages. As expected, many of the corresponding English entries showed up as red links. Some of these red links are due to capitalization problems, US/UK differences, or may simply be my spelling mistakes. Anyhow it seems that this list reveals many articles missing, or redirects pages that should have been made. Could someone please correct this list by creating redirects where appropriate and fix spelling when entries deviate from standard terminology? Delete the entry if it is totally wrong.

Is there any precedent/guidlines as to whether a party is notable enough for inclusion on wikipedia? Someone has created articles for Independent Green Voice, Nine Per Cent Growth Party and Socialist Equality Party (UK) none of which appear to have many members (indeed for IGV I've heard it's less than 5) and have never made any real impact in elections.GiollaUidir 09:43, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
The Green politics-related articles had a number of very dedicated editors years ago, but lately not much is happening there. I made some substantial changes to the Green politics article as well as to the other core topics in that area, Green movement and Green party. It's been almost two months and I've received no feedback, despite leaving messages on the talk pages of users I thought might be interested. If anyone wanted to take a look at those three articles and share some thoughts, I'd be very grateful. Fishal 12:47, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, can somebody please tell me if there is any criteria by which the "Politics of" templates are created? I am concerned that disparities between countries could lead to lack of neutral point of view. Thanks Andeggs 12:34, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
I have been thinking about how politics-related articles could provide clearer information on the relationship of the private to the public sector.
As I try to learn about the political process, I am stuck not only by what an instrumental role lobbies, campaign contributions, and other public investments of private-sector resources play in policy decisions worldwide, but by the immense difficulty of accessing factual, NPOV information about how these complex systems work. It seems to me that the Wikipedia has an opportunity to provide tremendous assistance here.
I'm still learning my way around the encyclopedia, so yesterday I somewhat rashly (just trying to get my thoughts down on paper, so to speak) created a task force page--I think it expresses the basic idea well enough. I feel foolish for having taken this step without coming here first, and I'm sorry for any presumption. (My thanks to the experienced editor who set me straight on the task force life cycle.)
My questions:
Thanks,

Hi. I have Randy Weaver and Ruby Ridge on my watchlist. The current Edward Lewis Brown standoff has sparked an influx of anon editors with a variety of views on Weaver et al and a tendency to see no need for sources. Worse still, those two articles had POV problems and poor sourcing to begin with: we rely way too much on a rather tabloid-ish article from Crime Library.
So I'm hoping that a few experienced editors could (1) take a look at these articles and try to educate the new editors, and (2) find some good sources to use (see Ruby Ridge#Suggested reading for a starting point) and make the articles a lot less sucky. Neither of these is a small job. (I don't have the time, the energy or access to a reference library.) Also, Alex Jones is supporting the Browns, and he has a lot of dedicated fans who edit here.
Any takers? Please? CWC 05:46, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I think that National conservatism needs to be merged, probably with Social conservatism. Currently, the broad assertions about national conservatism in each country seem to violate WP:NOR. I've added references and more information, but I think the concept is too hard to define to merit an entry of its own. WaltonOne 15:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
I'm Nick Moreau, an accredited reporter for Wikinews. I'm co-ordinating our 2008 US Presidential election interviews. We will be interviewing as many candidates as possible, from the Democrats, Republicans, and other parties/independents.
I'll be sending out requests for interviews to the major candidates very soon, but I want your input, as people interested in American politics: what should I ask them?
Please go to any of these three pages, and add a question.
Thanks, Nick -- Zanimum 14:56, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
I just discovered, to my astonishment, that there is no article, not even a stub, that deals with the United States Presidential transition. This is a hugely significant subject that has taken on increasing importance in recent decades, yet somehow it seems to have "fallen between the cracks". I ran numerous searches on "Presidential transition" and "transition team" (and other variants), and turned up scores of fleeting references in WP articles, mostly in bios of political figures who had served on one or another "Presidential transition team", all of which could be linked to the article -- if it existed. I've already added it to the "requested articles" list, but given its importance I thought a short paragraph was in order.
PS - If my to-do list wasn't already overflowing, I would write it myself. I hope somebody else will take this on. Cgingold 02:08, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, This probably isn't the right place to advertise this RfC, but since we haven't had too many responses, I am posting on more distant sites. The RfC itself is posted here. Since both statements, the original poster's and mine, in response, are long, you might want to skim through them first. Any help, by way of comments, will be appreciated. Regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 21:31, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I need some help on what to do next in a content dispute on the Talk:India page, where a recent RfC was concluded between two disputants, user:Rueben lys and I (user:Fowler&fowler). The dispute was about whether certain topics (in the history of the Indian independence movement) were notable for inclusion in the highly compressed history section in the FA India. The history section there has been fairly stable for over a year now, and has exactly two sentences devoted to the Indian independence movement. There is some sympathy for expanding the history section, which perhaps would allow another two to four sentences for the Indian independence movement (i.e. a total of four to six sentences). The dispute is about what other topics merit inclusion in this slightly expanded sub-section. (The statements in the RfC were both long, so you might want to skim through them first.) Here is my statement in the RfC: Statement by Fowler&fowler]] and here is Rueben lys's Statement. The RfC resulted in seven comments (not including those by user:Rueben lys himself); of these, five (see: Comment by Doldrums, Comments by John Kenney, Comments by Abecedare, Comments by Sundar, Comments by Hornplease) were supportive of my position, and two (See: Comment by Sarvagnya, and Comments by Lara bran) that were supportive of user:Rueben lys's position. user:Rueben lys now says that while I have made the case that his topics (for inclusion in the history section) do not get coverage in reliable sources, I have yet to show that they are not regarded to be notable by my sources. I am at the point in this entire process, where I'm fast losing patience and where I feel that I have made an effort to be both clear and logical; in contrast I feel user:Rueben lys has been unfocused (see his long string of comments with eight sub-sections here) and difficult to pin down. I suggested to user:Rueben lys that we consider a second RfC on WikiProject History where, hopefully, some expert editors will be able to weigh in on the evidence. Although he agreed at first, he now says that he would prefer to have the RfC on WikiProject India. Since the first RfC had already been advertised on WikiProject India, I don't see how a second one will help.
Could someone please help me with some guidelines? Wikipedia has to have some expert editors in History. How can I find them? And how and where do I have an RfC in order that the experts can weigh in; otherwise, I see a Featured Article – India – becoming the object of highly idiosyncratic edits, well-meaning though they might be. Regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 02:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
The Third Way article currently is sorely lacking in content and any sort of specific description of what the philosophy actually is. I voiced my concerns on its discussion page, but it is probably more likely to be fixed if I post a comment here as well. I'd also like to point out that its current grade of B seems to be incredibly generous. With such little actual content, I don't see how it could possibly deserve anything better than a Start grade in its current state. Uniqueuponhim 21:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

One of the featured news items on the front page is about the historic change of power in Paraguay. Unfortunately, the bio of the president-elect, which is what the news item links to, is rather spartan. Even worse, his political party is a red link. Actually, there are quite a number of red links peppered through out the link trail that will lead the casual user to dead-ends, as it did for me. Sadly, I do not know enough about Paraguay to remedy this and I do not speak any of the SA languages that would allow me to contact one of the appropriate sister wikis. Is there anyone here who could help make this feature news link better? --Dragon695 (talk) 20:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Not sure whether this should properly go under WikiProject Law or under this WikiProject. But anyway, WikiProject Drug Policy has been launched. It aims to organize and improve drug policy-related articles. Chin Chill-A Eat Mor Rodents (talk) 18:59, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
What is the best place to find New York State Congressional District primary results for Jack Kemp (1970-1986 elections)? Is there an online source? P.S. Respond at my talk page because I don't check here very often.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:09, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
I am interested in having my article, Constitution of the Roman Republic, nominated for Featured Article status. I am wondering if some of the people on this project can look at the article, and tell me if it might be close to Featured Article level. Before I have it nominated, I want to figure out if I need to make any more changes.RomanHistorian (talk) 02:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
This is a request for editors who know something about politics to look at an important discussion now going on at Talk:Barack Obama#Attempt to build consensus on the details. The debate concerns issues relevant to a number of very prominent Wikipedia articles touching on politics.
Some editors here think that when a U.S. presidential candidate is embarassed by someone associated with that candidate, no information about it should be mentioned in the WP biography article, even if the campaign (and therefore the person who is the subject of the article) was affected. Others think WP should only mention that this person was controversial and leave a link in the article to the WP article on that controversial associate. Still others (including me), think we should briefly explain just why that person was controversial in the candidate's life, which can be done in a phrase or at most a sentence or two. Examples:
Whatever we do, we should have equal treatment, so anyone interested in NPOV-, WP:BLP-compliant articles should look at and participate in the discussion. We've started the discussion by focusing on how much to say about former Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers in the Barack Obama article, but, again, this will likely affect many other articles.

Dear friends, I'm here to ask if someone wants to help me in writing articles about Politics of Italian regions. As of today I edited Politics of Veneto and many related articles and I started to edit articles on some other regions of Italy: Politics of Calabria, Politics of Sicily and so on. Thanks to everyone for his/her attention and help. --Checco (talk) 16:34, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
A request for comment has been posted at Talk:Harvey Milk#REQUEST FOR COMMENT: Milk's involvement with Jim Jones/Peoples Temple. Other editor's input would be appreciated. Banjeboi 04:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Where do I list new articles that I've tagged with your project? Here are two of them: David Stuart (diplomat) & Dennis Richardson (diplomat). The latter will be significantly expanded over the next few days (for DYK) and if anyone familiar with Australian politics wants to help, lemme know. Cheers. APK yada yada 09:56, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Could members of the project way in on this issue of merging the article on liberal terminology together. [1]. Cheers. — Realist2 (Who's Bad?) 06:03, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I am not with the project, but I have been adding Bandiera Rossa to the Wikipedia, which partly falls into this project's scope. It is still stubby and so I wanted to tag it accordingly and strangely enough there are stubs for ((anarchism-stub)) or ((Liberal-stub)) but none for topics related to socialism, so I wondered, if you, who have more knowledge than me on stubs and their creation and such stuff, might tell me, if and how we could get one. --SoWhy Talk 21:50, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
