A new translation project is underway to translate the article pt:Desdobramentos da Operação Lava Jato into English. Your assistance in the translation or feedback at the Talk page would be most welcome. See Draft:Developments in Operation Car Wash. Mathglot (talk) 10:18, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello! I have recently created a bot to remove completed infobox requests and am sending this message to WikiProject Politics since the project currently has a backlogged infobox request category. Details about the task can be found at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/PearBOT 2, but in short it removes all infobox requests from articles with an infobox, once a week. To sign up, reply with ((ping|Trialpears)) and tell me if any special considerations are required for the Wikiproject. For example: if only a specific infobox should be detected, such as ((infobox journal)) for WikiProject Academic Journals; or if an irregularly named infobox such as ((starbox begin)) should be detected. Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

The discussion (here) has several arguments but has no comments in over a month; I am involved, is anyone willing to close it? Kingsif (talk) 16:32, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Hello project members, the Template:Infobox civil conflict has a field for the methods used by the protestors, but where should the methods of the government used for quelling the protests be listed? For example, internet/mobile network shutdowns which are becoming common on India? If the government unleashes the 'Gestapo' on the protesters, where should this go?

There's a discussion at WP:TITLE on naming government/cabinet articles which may be of interest.--Obi2canibe (talk) 18:02, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
I am a political scientist with expertise in public policy, organization, administration, and bureaucracy who is participating in the Wiki Education's Scholars & Scientists Program. As part of the course, I will be working on substantially overhauling the Deep state page to situate the current popular cultural content within the scholarly literatures which have been published over the last 40 years (yes, that long!). I see no other place to sign this out, although I do see that it has been rated by the project as C-Mid.

There are timeline articles for 2020, 2020 in politics and government and other issues, 2020s, and 2020 in different countries. I have made pages for 2020 in Mexico, 2020 in Guatemala, 2020 in Central America, 2020 in Senegal, 2020 in Nigeria and 2020 in West Africa. I am in the process of making pages for other regions in Africa; most of the countries in North Africa already have their own pages. That is not generally true for other regions (e.g there are no country pages for East Africa. I invite editors to add significant events to these pages.

Hi everyone. I am the Lead Coordinator for Wikipedia: WikiProject History. I have a few suggestions I'd like to make here, for the main page for Wikipedia:WikiProject Politics, based on some methods we have been trying over there.
For one thing, I would like to create a section on the main page here for "Working Groups" and for "Task Forces," and allow project members to indicate which ones they want to join. Doing so is one way to allow current and future project members to find out where they can have a role here. and also it encourages members to take on more of an active role here.
Just to explain the terms, "Working Groups" are groups that carry out the core functions of a WikiProject; i.e. this is basically four major areas, consisting of the groups below. these are historically referred to as "departments" at most WikiProjects. however we have changed this label to "working groups" as this is more accurate and reflective of their real role. basically since none of these units exist permanently, but may expand or contract, depending on whether editors are active there, "working groups" is much better as a term, to let editors know these terms and these groups are fluid in nature.
Working Groups:
Moving along, the role of "Task Forces" has been expanded at our WikiProject. Generally, these are short-term groups for specific projects at most WikiProjects. we have expanded the meaning of this term. basically task forces are groups of editors who focus on any specific area related to the subject matter of the WikiProject itself. so there can be Task Forces for various parts of history by time period, or by topics, or by region, or anything else that editors may want.
So Task Forces are highly fluid; none are required to exist, and the number of active or potential task forces could be in the dozens, or it could be zero, or anything in between. It simply provides one way for editors to indicate active involvement.below are examples of some of the task forces that I have set up for project members. right now the membership of most of these are zero. But they are simply as a structural framework, enabling any new members to have a quick and easy way to get right into the project, and to indicate their active involvement.
etc etc. I hope the ideas above seem helpful. i will may be moving ahead in the near future, to set up sections for these on the main page for WIkipedia:WikiProject Politics, obviously for groups that would match the subject matter for this WikiProject.
I welcome any input, comments, ideas or feedback from anyone here. I appreciate your help. thanks!! also, tagging @Michael E Nolan, Bluerasberry, and Doug Weller: for any comments that they may wish to share, as well. thanks!!! --Sm8900 (talk) 14:54, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

I’d request assistance with an independent review of a proposal at Talk:Alice S. Fisher#Proposal to Delete Paragraph Using Only a Primary Source regarding the use of a primary source in the description of a Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing. I have a COI as an employee of the law firm where the nominee now works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JZ at LW (talk • contribs) 22:31, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi WP Politics. Editors are invited to participate at Talk:Iranian Revolution#RfC: Iranian Revolution "supported by the United States". Thanks, Levivich 07:51, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but the "Body politic" article seems poorly written (as of 20 February 2020). For example, in the section "History: medieval origins", the last sentence beginning with "The Church" is long and I don't understand where's the main verb. I'm not qualified to rewrite the page, but I wanted to bring this to your attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfclemay (talk • contribs) 15:01, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
