UPDATE RESULTS

CURRENTLY 72% Reporting. Source : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWDDr8opZfo — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.190.113.2 (talk) 07:41, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why was the Currently Reporting percentage completely removed from the main page??? 137.226.152.81 (talk) 10:28, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because it is only meant to be used when votes and/or seats are also being updated in the infobox. Otherwise it is misleading readers into thinking the 'current seats' are the live results. Number 5 7 10:52, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, for me personally, it was a measure of, how close we are to seeing the final results. So there is *some* value in knowing the Currently Reporting percentage. Is it worth re-introducing it, with a more clear emphasis that this percentage is not indicative of the seats in the table?137.226.152.81 (talk) 12:47, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can just see the live count here if you want. I don't see any value in trying to shoehorn it in here. Number 5 7 12:52, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, the person at the top of this thread found a more updated count (the page you cited still says 64.31%). In other words, I was counting on Wikipedia to have the most updated information regarding the current percentage, so that I wouldn't spend time looking for it myself.137.226.152.81 (talk) 12:57, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a "more updated count", but purely spam advertising from one person who has been attempting to use Wikipedia to promote their website for months. It's not anything close to a reliable source, nor should data coming from it be considered as reliable. Impru20^talk 13:01, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For months? The first edit I see in their history was this month, March. Maybe they used another IP address in the past? Though in either case, thank you for elaborating; after comparing their video myself with the official results, I see that indeed there is no new information there, other than the "Currently reporting" percentage; so I see what you mean.137.226.152.81 (talk) 13:22, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they have used multiple IP addresses in the past (and will likely do in the future, seeing their ongoing behavioural trend). Impru20^talk 13:25, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

can someone post the results from the knesset website--213.8.151.40 (talk) 16:39, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Israel Democratic Party

Can anyone verify or supply information regarding the Israel Democratic Party of Ehud Barak? Are they running for the 23rd Knesset or have they disbanded? Thank you. — Rh0809 Talk 19:41, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They(Democratic Union) decided to not stand for this election.

new infobox with pictures?

According Opinion polling Israel will get this time 8 or 9 parties/alliances. We can then do this infobox [[1]] because it supports 9 parties/alliances and it has space enough.

The parties will be then.

Blue and white, Likud, Joint List, Labor-Gesher-Meretz, Shas, Yisrael Beiteinu, UTJ and Yamina. We can add Otzma if they win 1 seat. Shadow4dark (talk) 12:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Israeli election articles use the current infobox. The pictures of leaders are unnecessary – this is not a presidential election. Number 5 7 12:48, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes we use this current infobox beacause we had to many parties in the past.Shadow4dark (talk) 13:00, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It'll be fine with just parties. Arglebargle79 (talk) 13:10, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Number 57:

2019 United Kingdom general election

2019 Canadian federal election

2019 Australian federal election

2020 New Zealand general election

2017 German federal election
Do I need to continue? We use infoboxelection for nearly all parliamentary elections. I believe it shows the information better, though I do understand your argument that it does not show how the coallitions will pan out. We could either add those underneath the parties, like in 2019 Indian general election, or just show Netanyahu and Gantz. KingWither (talk) 14:50, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, you don't need to continue, because the examples you give are irrelevant. The infobox currently being used was specifically designed for Israeli elections, which have far more parties entering parliament than most of the countries you mention, and without the dominant parties that exist in some of them. Your last point suggest you don't understand how Israeli politics works, as the only formal coalitions are the electoral lists themselves (i.e. Blue & White, Joint List, Labour–Gesher–Meretz, Yamina etc).

Do you have link for this infobox page?Shadow4dark (talk) 16:15, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

numbers in the infobox are not up to date; likud 37, blue & white 32 etc. the results are in already, time to update 63.143.205.35 (talk) 02:59, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seats aren't allocated until counting is complete, so they can't be updated yet. Number 5 7 10:16, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
