Red was one of the good article nominees, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. |

[edit] Photograph
I think it would be more correct to have a picture like that in the Blue article. What does everyone else think? Exec. Tassadar (comments, contribs)
However, the major exception is the United States. There, red is associated with the right-wing Republican Party. (The reason is that U.S. television networks assigned blue and red to states awarded to the Republicans and the Democrats, respectively, on news maps; the color assignments were alternated every presidential election, but the controversial 2000 presidential election was when commentators happened to pick up on the color choices.)
What does this mean?

- It means before the 2000 election Republicans weren't always red and Democrats weren't always blue. I've rewritten the passage to hopefully make that a little clearer (and added a reference). —Joseph RoeTk•Cb, 10:23, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Some info re: Red in India
I reverted a few edits, one of which being the following. This didn't appear to be vandalism but is both unsourced and in need of some copy editing.
== Symbolism == india the red colour plays a important role in indian culture, in eastern india the red "sindur" or the colour itself carries the symbol of fidelity and love for the spouse of an hindu woman. but if he is dead the woman loses all cultural right to wear red. in weddings and in worshipings this colour is mandatary. the 'shakto sadhu's i.e. monks who worship the mother goddess kali in any form wear red. red flowers like chinese rose is used in worshiping... it also signifies spring and often fire.
