This and this sources both said that this election exposed deep divisions within the party,can we change the sentence to "some media, like BBC and The Guardian, saw this election to have exposed deep divisions within the party"?Or furtherly add the journalists' names?As a newcomer, I think I should consult first.

Instead of trying to split the potential candidate list into different categories, maybe it would be more useful to concentrate on prose. That is, we can add to the campaign section if so-and-so says they're interested, or if thingumajig is reported to be planning to stand. Prose allows for much more subtlety than just these crude categories and provides a historical record. Bondegezou ( talk) 22:26, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Sure, after the event, it might make sense for it to say The 2023 Scottish National Party leadership election is due to take place to choose the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) after Nicola Sturgeon announced her resignation on 15 February 2023, effective upon the selection of her successor
. But for now, it jars a bit. It sounds like there's a leadership election every year, and that this one was preordained to be in 2023. I think it would be more encyclopaedic, for now - until it's in the past tense, to say A Scottish National Party leadership election is due to take place in 2023 to choose the
leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), following
Nicola Sturgeon's announcement that she intends to resign
, so I propose changing it to that. Opinions? --

Hi all, I wanted to get opinions on whether it would be better to have a table of MSP/MPs endorsements, or to have a list like the Conservative Party leadership election. The SNP of course doesn't use MSP/MPs for its nomination or voting process, so the endorsements are less important than they are in other party leadership elections.
Personally, I'm in favour of a table-style format as it makes it neatly confined to the space and does not turn half the page into a list of MSP/MP names (and this could lead to suggestions to split the page, which in my opinion is unnecessary). The sourcing is also easier, with one source part at the bottom to linking to pages which have already aggregated the endorsements. As a final point, it allows people to quickly compare which candidates are getting the most endorsements.

Quick question about what we should do with endorsements. On this page we have endorsements from members of rival political parties and for people who are not candidates. Should these be included? These might have separate answers. FUnderwood ( talk) 13:43, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Anyone know what the issue is? Reference 90. Crumbsx ( talk) 11:49, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
It seems slightly contentious to use the colours that are being used for the candidates on the 'endorsements' map. It seems as if Humza Yousaf, being the continuity left-wing candidate, has been given Labour red, while Kate Forbes, seen as the more conservative candidate, has been given Tory blue. Could we change to a colour scheme that perhaps has less potential political messaging? ErraticDrumlin ( talk) 18:48, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
Can someone fix the errors introduced in these edits: [1]? This article follows British English. Bondegezou ( talk) 16:12, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
I'm sure there must have been more than one poll of SNP members on the three candidates during the campaign - can someone confirm and if so update this section? ErraticDrumlin ( talk) 15:59, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
