The page of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrikant_Shinde is quite literally a large political ad. The whole thing is heavily unsourced and is only used as a way for the politician to boast achievements. This needs to be fixed ASAP considering the guy may be entering a more prominent position in Maharashtra politics now. 223.190.85.49 (talk) 20:45, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

@MPGuy2824 regarding Special:Diff/1096223105 please note that the source Elecorate size from CEO Punjab is outdated due to the release of the election 2022 detailed results. I have found that the the CEO data is always lower than the total electors size mentioned in the 2022 results, which is more recent. So I suggest using the 2022 election results for updating the most recent size of the electors. Venkat TL (talk) 08:04, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Should Wikipedia:Naming conventions Indian constituencies be implemented as a guideline? 10:49, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
Indian Legislative Assembly constituencies (current or defunct) should have a uniform suffix of "Assembly constituency", whether or not this is required for disambiguation.
Prior discussion on this topic was done at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/India-related articles/Archive 1#Legislative Assembly constituency names and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indian politics/Archive 4#Constituency titles
Main points of the proposal:
The current constituency names use wide variety of naming convention perhaps created by different users without centralized discussion. Hence the need for this discussion.Venkat TL (talk) 10:17, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
“Every morning in school we had assembly” — lower case 'a', because assembly is just a noun for the gathering of the students. “The Scottish Assembly is the informal name for the group that governs Scotland” — uppercase because it is a proper noun. If the assembly is a formal thing it is generally written with an uppercase “A”, otherwise a lowercase “a”.
Natural disambiguation that is unambiguous, commonly used, and clear is generally preferable to parenthetical disambiguation.
should not be adopted unless it produces clear benefits outweighing the use of common names

@MPGuy2824 thank you for updating the registered elector numbers in the infobox. For Gujarat constituencies, I think it is important to add the number of registered electors in the election result box, as shown here Special:Diff/1108616363. While updating the new number in the infobox for registered electors in 2022, it is important to copy the 2017 data to the 2017 section or else the 2017 electors data will be overwritten with 2022 data and lost in the page history.

Regarding diffs like [2] and others like it: Ideally, we wait for the elections to end, and the ECI results to come in pdf form (3 months or so after the election). Isn't update-after-2022 better in that case? That would ensure that we don't have to update twice for each election. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 12:12, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Don't transclude the infobox of legislative assembly articles into legislative terms (like you did for Rajasthan Legislative Assembly and 15th Rajasthan Assembly). Different infobox are to be added to these pages. Template:Infobox legislature is used for legislative assembly pages (Rajasthan Legislative Assembly) and Template:Infobox legislative term should be used for 15th Rajasthan Assembly. See 14th Maharashtra Assembly for example. Dhruv edits (talk) 18:23, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

On 3 September I linked list of MLAs and constituency on district articles. Good to see that the viewer count tripled after that [3] This shows that readers are not aware of the existence of constituency articles. We should prioritize adding a Politics section on all the geo articles. The section should contain a link to MLA, MP and constituency articles (in prose or table form) Venkat TL (talk) 10:57, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed the indian election pages, on the national as well as on the state level, are the only ones to make election diagrams in which the colored dots for parties seats are circled in black, like here. All the others elections pages of every others countries simply have the colors, without the black circles, like here, so I don't see how it's needed. Meanwhile, the black circles add a lot of contrast which make the colors look way darker than they are, and it make it a bit hard to look at overall. I'm not saying all the old files should be replaced, it would cause a lot of work, but I suggest the use of black circles be phased out as elections go by. What do you think? Aréat (talk) 23:46, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
@Aréat The use of black border is necessary because in Indian elections, there are a lot of independent MLAs/ MPs/ councillors, represented by light grey color, which will be barely visible in white background without a border. Same is the case with seats that get vacant, white color is completely invisible without a border. Also, as noted by MPGuy2824, 0 width border is default, which is why many don't care to add a border. In order to have a consistent approach, black borders are added to most of the election diagrams.

Not sure about anyone else, but I am extremely bored of seeing endless (and often poorly formatted) changes to the party leader images in general election article infoboxes. I would like to propose that we switch to using {{Infobox legislative election}} for the general election articles – this infobox is generally used in countries where more than nine parties win seats in general elections (which is the case in India). As an example, this is what it would look like on the 2019 election article. It removes the need for the images of the party leaders (personally I don't think images should be used except when it is an election of an individual like presidential elections). Thoughts?
