Christian party

Hi, The pdf of the Statement of Parties Nominated has "Christian Party “Proclaiming Christ’s Lordship”" in bold and then "The Christian Party - CPA" in light: I understand that to mean that the first is the name of the party, and the second the slogan they want appearing on the ballot paper. The first phrase is the official name of the party at The Electoral Commission. What source says that they are joint candidates? PamD (talk) 20:11, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Cornish Council election results

I see I've butted in to editing in these results while you're already doing them. Apologies. I'll stop if you like, or start from the bottom and work up? Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:15, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I finished them, hope you don't mind :o) Bretonbanquet (talk) 01:43, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Estonia–Luxembourg relations

Hello, I've recently tried to restore this page to a version which can be improved upon (a non-protected, non-disambiguation page) and I wondered if I could get your opinion about whether it is currently up to the quality which we expect of every Wikipedia article. I would appreciate your comments on the article at User:Cdogsimmons/Estonia–Luxembourg relations on the talk page there, and further improvements that would get it closer to inclusion status are always welcome. Thanks.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 23:09, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Would you be interested in joining a WikiProject devoted to Lancashire?

Hi, I have noticed that you are from Lancashire and I was wondering if you have heard of the new WikiProject group of WikiProject Lancashire and Cumbria. If you are interested in joining please feel free to become a paricipant and help us achive our goals. If you do join I am looking forward to your contributions. 93gregsonl2 (talk) 21:01, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Constituencies

Thanks for the message. The full boundary commission report for 1983 used to be online - David Boothroyd once posted a link on the google group uk.politics.electoral but I can't find it and it seems that it's no longer online. I have the Almanacs of British politics post 1983 election and post 1992 election but not to hand so will have a go in the future when I've a chance. By the way maybe it's time that Boundary change recommendations for the next UK general election was renamed to "Boundary change recommendations for the 2010 UK general election" as right now a 2009 election is about as probable as a 200 seat Labour majority?

Deleted question on malysz

Hi, I deleted the question on malysz as nearly no one who responsded appeared to think it was a genuine question and give the history of similar questions from that IP.

Preston smallest seat in England

Preston is listed as cited in the actual report itself as smallest seat and on page 195. Possibly you've looked at page 195 of the pdf? If so its on page 702 (of 1092) of the pdf file, the section which lists seats in England in descending order or electors. All the best, Valenciano (talk) 09:18, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

PPC links on Hackney_North_and_Stoke_Newington_(UK_Parliament_constituency)

Hi. I live in the above constituency and had a look at this page and found that there was no information about any of the prospective parliamentary candidates (other than of course the incumbent). I thought it would be useful to include links to a source of information on the internet about them - in most cases this is to their own personal pages since although there is a small amount of information about each of them available from "neutral" source, their personal/party sites seem more useful.

Now I've had a look at the policy and I don't think I'm obviously spamming. Certainly I have no particular interest about seeing anyone in particular elected (I'm struggling with this at the moment) and I'm not promoting them. Is there a way this information could be usefully provided on the page without violating a standard? What do you think. I notice that the MP's page on wikipedia does link to her "official site". It seems wrong in principle that she should have a link to her site and her opponents not. She's notable (for many reasons) so gets her own page. I don't think the others are but this isn't about that. Would "external links" at the bottom be more appropriate?

This is obviously a wider question. Francis Davey (talk) 21:16, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your responses on this. I can see your concern about self-promotion. What I wanted to see was some information about the candidates on the constituency page. It would be much more preferable to have links to local newspaper (or even national newspaper) reports about them which would give a more objective account of who they were. As we get nearer the election that does become more likely. I'll see if anyone objects to my putting them in external links and replace them with local media reports as they become available. I couldn't see anything obviously relevant that wasn't internal party stuff when I last looked. Francis Davey (talk) 08:35, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Cambridge (UK Parliament constituency)

Thank you for your fair mediation, by which I abide. I would welcome one link from every candidate to confirmed election campaign pages, removable in the event of any commercial/non-election use of those pages. The more opportunity the electorate has to compare and contrast candidates, the better! NigelHarris (talk) 15:38, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 21st Century Conservative Democrats

The article 21st Century Conservative Democrats has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I have searched long and hard and I can find no coverage of this party in reliable source, nor any coverage of Mr de Braam (other than a snippet mention of him standing in Tottenham in 2000, before this party was registered). The only web presence is a website dead since 2007 (viewable on the Internet Archive) and the Electoral Commission entry and report of accounts: but being registered =/= being notable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Need a hand

Hey, Doktorbuk! You may remember me from last year (when I still had a functioning laptop). I read on the BBC website that the date for the 2010 UK General Election has been set to May 6th 2010. So I imagine you and the others at Wikiproject UK Politics (or whatever it's called these days) will be working like dogs for the next month. My laptop is still FUBARed so I can't help with Wiki too much but if you want something looked up or some factchecking, just holla on my talk page. Regards and good luck, Anameofmyveryown (talk) 22:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Dok :) As one Wigan Athletic supporter to another, can I suggest not arguing on the Manchester thread in another place as its probably counter-productive. Cheers - Galloglass 18:22, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
