Should the two Lib Dem shortlisted candidates - Chris French and Rob Blackie - be added? References: https://news.sky.com/story/who-is-rob-blackie-campaigner-fighting-russian-propaganda-in-bid-to-become-london-mayor-12922416 88.179.219.171 ( talk) 11:02, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
An official photograph for Rob Blackie can be found here: https://www.londonlibdems.org.uk/robblackie which links to https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a31cW2FYccyxuqbAGykOOMxirt53R8Gm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.8.16.138 ( talk) 10:59, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
The article at a number of points refers to people as mayoral nominees (e.g. "the party's former mayoral nominee Steven Norris said"; "and nominee for mayor of Hackney in 2022"; "nominee for mayor in 2008"). I find this wording odd and switched these to "candidate", which BottleOfChocolateMilk has now reverted.
I wish to argue that "candidate" is the better word. It's the word that reliable sources use. "Nominee" is anachronistic in this context. For example, I did a search for "Zoe Garbett" and "candidate", which yielded 1420 Ghits and 13 Google news hits. "Zoe Garbett" and "nominee" yielded 4 Ghits and 1 Google news hits. Let's follow the wording used by reliable sources.
But what do others think? Bondegezou ( talk) 09:55, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
Are EU citizens still eligible to vote in this election? Or is this a bit of boilerplate left over from pre-Brexit election articles? --- Jfruh ( talk) 01:33, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
On mobile at least, Susan Hall’s photo is larger than the other two, which may provide incorrect context.
Should probably make sure they’re always an equal height. Ngriffinuk ( talk) 01:06, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
It looks like it's a problem with the Minerva skin, which is adjusting the heights of the three images to make them 100% of the width of the table column each is in; that width is determined by the length of each candidate's name: whilst Hall's name is not wrapped, Khan and Garbett are, so their columns are narrower (and pictures thus smaller). The CSS includes
.content a > img, .content noscript > img { max-width: 100% !important; height: auto !important;
}
Disabling the max-width
property renders all images the same height.
Whilst I understand CSS, I do not have the skill to alter the skin. Bazza 7 ( talk) 16:50, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

He won't be a major candidate but Laurence Fox definitely has expressed interest at this point 176.26.177.98 ( talk) 12:23, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
I've tried multiple times to make the article more neutral by providing context behind why some of the current mayor's policies are controversial, but it seems like his supporters keep on reverting my edits, going back to biased language saying he "funded" stuff that was paid for by the taxpayer, and completely skimming over the fact that the he had promised that the ULEZ (his most controversial policy by far) would not be expanded before his election; primary sources are not allowed but apparently secondary sources are "not necessary". Might as well rename the article to "Sadiq Khan's 2024 election campaign" and be done with it. 82.0.194.154 ( talk) 12:38, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

@ Ralbegen: can I ask what equation is being used to fit lines to the polling numbers? Because the current lines look like a poor fit. The image file says that's loess, but it doesn't look like loess. It looks polynomial. Bondegezou ( talk) 14:17, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

change the current listing for Amy Gallagher to as follows:
Amy Gallagher was announced as the Social Democratic Party’s candidate on 12 December 2023 following selection by a vote of party members in London. [1] Born and raised in South London, the daughter of a taxi driver, Gallagher worked as an NHS nurse for over 10 years in hospitals and communities cross London. She acted as a whistleblower speaking out against racial and religious discrimination in the NHS, and is currently bringing a legal case against the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. [2] Gallagher’s manifesto focuses on increasing housebuilding, ending the Ultra-Low Emission Zone, improving public transport, creating more opportunities for civic volunteering, taking a zero-tolerance approach to crime, and taking a hostile stance against identity politics.
