Forza Italia

Hello everybody! I'm an italian user, I wanted to inform you that the "new" Forza Italia party of Berlusconi is not an opposition party yet. If Berlusconi will not be pushed out from his seat (an improbably but possibile thing), he can chose to remain in the government coalition. Also, FI has got one vice-minister and one secretary in the italian government! For now, then, it is better to correct the voices about Forza Italia, the parliament and the Letta Cabinet...in 10 days will be all more clear. Bye for now! --Franci---juve 21:46, 20 nov 2013 (UTC)

Reassessment

Just stopping by to let someone part of the project here to reassess Progressive Labor Party (United States) in its class rating. It is undergoing some changes at the moment due to the lack of sources, wp:soapbox, and POV problems that plagued the article before. xcuref1endx (talk) 14:52 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Parliament diagrams

Hi all,

My parliament diagram tool is now being used regularly to create diagrams which are used in Wikipedia articles. At the moment, it only makes arch-shaped diagrams, but if there is consensus that another diagram style would be widely useful, I am really keen to code it. There was some discussion on my talk page about suitable diagrams.

Tagging @Shabidoo: @DestinationAlan: @DrRandomFactor: @Yug: - please alert others to this discussion if you know someone who'd be interested. --Slashme (talk) 23:09, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Ah, @Hshook: made a few diagrams recently, so I'll tag them into this conversation. DestinationAlan (talk) 02:36, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Hillary Rodham Clinton

Project members are welcome to join WikiProject Hillary Rodham Clinton, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia articles relating to Hillary Clinton. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:58, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Is there really a need for this? Number 57 20:42, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Call me cautious. This is keeping with Wikipedia:WikiProject Barack Obama. At the same time I don't recall there beign a Wikipedia:WikiProject John McCain or a Wikipedia:WikiProject Mitt Romney. Good luck to the editors involved in this project, but perhaps a reminder of WP:BALANCE/WP:NEUTRAL & WP:NOTADVOCATE is in order.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 04:27, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Proposed U.S. Constitution WikiProject

Hi participants at WikiProject Politics! I am posting a proposed WikiProject called United States Constitution. This project will focus on articles related to the original text of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; it should include the articles on all 27 amendments, clauses, Supreme Court cases interpreting constitutional provisions, the drafters, and so forth. We can't get the proposed WikiProject without your help! Since you are in this group, I think you would also be interested in this WikiProject. We need 6-12 members to get the WikiProject active. Please join and support today. Please put your name in the "Support" tab here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/United States Constitution. Thank you!

Revolutionary republic

The article revolutionary republic use to redirect to sister republic. A user has replaced that with a new article. Please review to see if the subject merits a new article. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 18:45, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Of note

Question at AfD if Ambassadors are inherently notable. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Margaret Adamson and User:LibStar#Apparently_some_people_still_think_ambassadors_are_inherently_notable.3F. Montanabw^(talk) 04:45, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

already been a lengthy discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people). LibStar (talk) 09:21, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

And it looks rather inconclusive. Montanabw^(talk) 18:29, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Help updating Tipper Gore article

Hi. I'm working on behalf of The Glover Park Group to make improvements to the article of Tipper Gore, who is a friend of the firm. Because of my COI, I'd like some help from other editors reviewing my proposed changes and making the edits if they seem to be an improvement over the current article. I posted a note on the Talk page early last week, but no one has responded. I detail exactly what I'm requesting (and why) on the Talk page, but my main concerns are updating sections to include a more thorough history of her political pursuits and advocacy work, as well as reorganizing and revising some of the existing material. I'll be on the lookout for any questions or responses here or on the Talk page. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 19:59, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

NOTICE: Persondata has been officially deprecated

Persondata has been deprecated and the template and input data are subject to removal from all bio articles in the near future. For those editors who entered accurate data into the persondata templates of politicians and other bio subjects, you are advised to manually transfer that data to Wikidata before the impending mass deletion occurs in order to preserve all accurate data. Here are two examples of Wikidata for film actors: Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. If you have any more questions about the persondata removal, Wikidata, etc., please ping me.

Discussion about colour for independents

If you've been working on election articles recently, you may have noticed a lot of fluctuations in the colour used for independents. There's a discussion going on at Template talk:Independent (politician)/meta/color about whether a pale or a dark shade is better. Since it's not a well-watched template, I thought I'd put a note here. Smurrayinchester 09:39, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

"(state)"

Does the disambiguator "(state)" have a special meaning to not mean "state" in general, if used in Chinese history articles? See Talk:Song (state) where we are discussing whether "state" does not mean any state, but only means non-Imperial states -- 70.51.202.183 (talk) 04:48, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
