Wiki Education assignment: Introduction to Policy Analysis[edit]

Per this revert, Namiba is asking for discussion on inclusion of two "Shadow Senator" races alongside legitimate Senate races. Shadow Senators are not a real office, or a real Senate election; they are, by definition, quasi-offices created by DC to advocate for statehood. Including these will likely confuse readers into thinking that these offices are the same thing as actual Senators (they are not), or into thinking that DC actually has Senators (which they do not). I see no reason to include them. ToaNidhiki05 19:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are articles about these elections (2024 United States Shadow Senator election in the District of Columbia), articles about the winners of the elections (ex: Michael Donald Brown), and an article about the role itself (Shadow congressperson). The term "shadow" and the article on the role indicates to readers exactly what they are. I see no reason not to include them here. For the purposes of the Green Party, they indicate the position of the party in DC, which is helpful to the reader.--User:Namiba 19:07, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Except it's not a federal election or the same office. Their job is to lobby Congress. They aren't actually senators, and it's incredibly misleading to list them as such. ToaNidhiki05 19:15, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is an issue to take up elsewhere, not on this article.--User:Namiba 19:34, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is absolutely an issue to take up on this article. ToaNidhiki05 19:39, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
