Talk:2024 European Parliament election in Austria

Seat projections

Hi @Gust Justice, I've seen that you removed my seat projections section on the basis that they were just related to national polls and you're right, that seems to be true in most cases. However, since polls specifically asking about European elections in Austria have come out recently, would it be ok for you if I reintroduced the section while cherrypicking only the projections based on the recent European election polls? Der Föderalist mentions the source poll explicitly, while Europe Elects relies on a time window but gives priority to European election polls over national election polls so in both cases it should be possible to select the relevant ones.

I think that would be appropriate, since it would be based on information specific to the EP election. Another option is to display the seats for each poll along with that poll, like is done on 2024_European_Parliament_election_in_Spain. Gust Justice (talk) 16:06, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

@Gust Justice as much as I find the Spanish version more elegant, it's also true that there are seat projections from different pollsters relying on the same European polls, which may differ according to the pollster methodology in translating voting polls to projections. Because of that I think that the best solution to include them while avoiding any ambiguity is to just add the projections in a different table. In any case I'm gonna start selecting only the relevant ones from the previous full list. Fm3dici97 (talk) 10:19, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Controversies: The relevance of including critiques of individual candidates.

Concerning the removal of the Controversy chapter and the relevance of including it within this article.

I do not think this article is the appropriate place to go into detail into all the controversies and character faults for each of the individual candidates that have been published in the media.

This information is usually described within the candidates individual Wiki articles and it is not necessary to duplicate it here.

In the case of Schilling, the controversy described in this articles is already described on her page, almost word for word. This article should strive to be impartial, which is appropriate for a general election information page.

If a chapter on candidate controversies must be included, to ensure that the article is fair and balanced, it should include all of the individual controversies and critical news stories that have been published on the lead candidates.

While the Schilling controversy may be the most recent, many of the other lead candidates have been involved in controversies: these include a candidate a making televised threat to a journalist and questioning the necessity of memorialising the holocaust; a candidate's child participating in a neo-nazi rally; and a candidate being accused by a European leader of spreading disinformation and lying.

In addition, the relevance of including a chapter on Controversy to begin with was never adequately explained, so its removal seems both fair and sensible. Even more so since the original contributor of this chapter has a history of inciting heated wiki wars within general election articles. ReseARTch (talk) 22:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
