The European Union article has been thoroughly rearranged over the last week and discussion is currently ongoing at Talk:European Union about whether those changes have improved the article. It would be helpful if members of your wiki project could contribute. For reference, is the version of the article from before the recent changes. Furius ( talk) 10:44, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
I have noticed there is no article regarding this particular topic. All the other Congresses have an article. It stands out that this one doesn't.

Many articles about countries and governments use the EIU's Democracy Index to describe the status of democracy using one of four descriptors (full democracy, flawed democracy, hybrid regime, and authoritarian regime). While I have no major issues with the EIU's methodology, I wonder if they might be unhelpful or even misleading without further context. Articles often take for granted that readers will understand what these descriptors mean, but they can be somewhat ambiguous. How are readers supposed to interpret "flawed" or "hybrid" if they're not familiar with the index? They have no way of knowing that it's one out of four options, let alone what aspects are being considered. Is this a cause for concern, and is there any way we can ensure that these are unambiguous when used in articles? Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 22:48, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Hellooo all.
I'm editing the page for Siad Barre and I'm trying to override the name of the "Vice President" parameter in his infobox to "First Vice President". This is because during Barre's dictatorship, the vice presidency was multiple positions: First Vice President, Second Vice President, and occasionally Third Vice President.
This is also true of current-day Peru. The Vice Presidency of Peru is two positions, the First Vice President and the Second Vice President. However, in infoboxes both are listed under the "Vice President" parameter with no distinction. For example, in Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, the First Vice President Martín Vizcarra and the Second Vice President Mercedes Aráoz are listed like that; someone could easily think one served after the other left office or something.
Alternatively, can we add First Vice President, Second Vice President, and (maybe) Third Vice President to Template:Infobox officeholder? Holidayruin ( talk) 20:35, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Hey there folks. It's been a decently long time since I've contributed longform writing to the encyclopedia, So I'd like some feedback on a draft I have kicking around in my userspace at User:127(point)0(point)0(point)1/Del Riley. I had been holding off in the hopes of getting a picture from the county that wasn't copyright encumbered but gotten nothing but radio silence from them so just moving forward without it. County clerks aren't generally notable but this one seems like it clears the bar, having a significant long term effect on how elections are run in the state of Oregon.

In Irish Taoisigh is the plural of Taoiseach. In the infobox of a number of Irish politicians I noticed that in cases where a politician has been in the same ministry for two different Taoisigh it says Taoiseach and the two different Taoisigh instead of Taoisigh. I checked Liz Truss and in her own infobox it says Monarchs and not Monarch. It leads me to believe that the Irish politicians infoboxs might be wrong. This affects Simon Harris, Eamon Ryan, Helen McEntee and others I have not thought of. ( Fran Bosh ( talk) 20:36, 8 January 2023 (UTC))

This is a shortened version of the infobox. Below 27 June 2020 it should say Taoisigh. Unfortunately the infobox script does not recognise the word Taoisigh. Below 17 December 2022 the use of Taoiseach is correct as there is only one listed. ( Fran Bosh ( talk) 21:44, 8 January 2023 (UTC))

Unreviewed featured articles/2020 (URFA/2020) is a systematic approach to reviewing older Featured articles (FAs) to ensure they still meet the FA standards. A January 2022 Signpost article called "Forgotten Featured" explored the effort.
Progress is recorded at the monthly stats page. Through 2022, with 4,526 very old (from the 2004–2009 period) and old (2010–2015) FAs initially needing review:
Of the FAs kept, deemed satisfactory by three reviewers, or delisted, about 60% had prior review between 2004 and 2007; another 20% dated to the period from 2008–2009; and another 20% to 2010–2015. Roughly two-thirds of the old FAs reviewed have retained FA status or been marked "satisfactory", while two-thirds of the very old FAs have been defeatured.
Entering its third year, URFA is working to help maintain FA standards; FAs are being restored not only via FAR, but also via improvements initiated after articles are reviewed and talk pages are noticed. Since the Featured Article Save Award (FASA) was added to the FAR process a year ago, 38 FAs were restored to FA status by editors other than the original FAC nominator. Ten FAs restored to status have been listed at WP:MILLION, recognizing articles with annual readership over a million pageviews, and many have been rerun as Today's featured article, helping increase mainpage diversity.
|
All received a
Million Award
|
But there remain almost 4,000 old and very old FAs to be reviewed. Some topic areas and WikiProjects have been more proactive than others in restoring or maintaining their old FAs. As seen in the chart below, the following have very high ratios of FAs kept to those delisted (ordered from highest ratio):
and others have a good ratio of kept to delisted FAs:
... so kudos to those editors who pitched in to help maintain older FAs !

Noting some minor differences in tallies:

But looking only at the oldest FAs (from the 2004–2007 period), there are 12 content areas with more than 20 FAs still needing review: Biology, Music, Royalty and nobility, Media, Sport and recreation, History, Warfare, Meteorology, Physics and astronomy, Literature and theatre, Video gaming, and Geography and places. In the coming weeks, URFA/2020 editors will be posting lists to individual WikiProjects with the goal of getting these oldest-of-the-old FAs reviewed during 2023.
Ideas for how you can help are listed below and at the Signpost article.
More regular URFA and FAR reviewers will help assure that FAs continue to represent examples of Wikipedia's best work. If you have any questions or feedback, please visit Wikipedia talk:Unreviewed featured articles/2020/4Q2022.

(Cross-posting from WP:CEN)
For the past few weeks Israel has been going through a socio-political turmoil, at the core of which is a so-called "judicial reform" - a set of quasi-constitutional amendments that the government is trying to pass, which will radically alter the power balance between the judiciary and the executive branches. Surrounding this "reform" is a plethora of other proposals, some of which directly depend on the "reform" passing. The whole thing is seen by many as one big "power grab", drawing sharp criticism from across the globe, and sparking waves of protest throughout the country.
So we have one subject (the "reform") contained in, and fueling another (the "power grab"); and many criticisms that address either, or both. How and where should we make the distinction?

I thought this might be the the most commonly recognized name of the institution, but a quick glance at the references proves otherwise (only Estonian sources use the native name, while other English sources use "Parliament of Estonia"). Is there a reason why the native name or a calque is used in that article and others? Betseg ( talk) 06:16, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello.
Sorry in advance if this is not the right page to ask for it, but I would like some feedback on this draft I wrote last month, which covers the killing of a candidate for mayor in Ecuador, as well as his posthumous election. I was shocked when I first read the news, and I think it's notable enough to constitute a full article, especially since it's related to the recent rise in violence, even towards politicians, all across the country.
I've just opened a discussion on the draft's talk page: any type of advice will be greatly appreciated!

Should the infobox of those with honorific styles such as 'His/Her Excellency' include such titles? For example, Bajram Begaj's infobox includes the style 'His Excellency', as does Edi Rama's, and Michael D. Higgins' (and others, but I don't have the time nor will to look for all examples), but the infoboxes for Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Xi Jinping, etc., and other serving officials who, according to the article ' Excellency', are to be addressed with the honorific style, do not have the style. My question is thus: Should all those who are to be addressed with the honorific style have it displayed in the infobox, or is there another reason why some who are entitled to be addressed in that way have it displayed, and others do not?

Many articles about countries and governments use the EIU's Democracy Index to describe the status of democracy using one of four descriptors (full democracy, flawed democracy, hybrid regime, and authoritarian regime). While I have no major issues with the EIU's methodology, I wonder if they might be unhelpful or even misleading without further context. Articles often take for granted that readers will understand what these descriptors mean, but they can be somewhat ambiguous. How are readers supposed to interpret "flawed" or "hybrid" if they're not familiar with the index? They have no way of knowing that it's one out of four options, let alone what aspects are being considered. Is this a cause for concern, and is there any way we can ensure that these are unambiguous when used in articles? Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 22:48, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Hellooo all.
I'm editing the page for Siad Barre and I'm trying to override the name of the "Vice President" parameter in his infobox to "First Vice President". This is because during Barre's dictatorship, the vice presidency was multiple positions: First Vice President, Second Vice President, and occasionally Third Vice President.
This is also true of current-day Peru. The Vice Presidency of Peru is two positions, the First Vice President and the Second Vice President. However, in infoboxes both are listed under the "Vice President" parameter with no distinction. For example, in Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, the First Vice President Martín Vizcarra and the Second Vice President Mercedes Aráoz are listed like that; someone could easily think one served after the other left office or something.
Alternatively, can we add First Vice President, Second Vice President, and (maybe) Third Vice President to Template:Infobox officeholder? Holidayruin ( talk) 20:35, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

In Irish Taoisigh is the plural of Taoiseach. In the infobox of a number of Irish politicians I noticed that in cases where a politician has been in the same ministry for two different Taoisigh it says Taoiseach and the two different Taoisigh instead of Taoisigh. I checked Liz Truss and in her own infobox it says Monarchs and not Monarch. It leads me to believe that the Irish politicians infoboxs might be wrong. This affects Simon Harris, Eamon Ryan, Helen McEntee and others I have not thought of. ( Fran Bosh ( talk) 20:36, 8 January 2023 (UTC))

Unreviewed featured articles/2020 (URFA/2020) is a systematic approach to reviewing older Featured articles (FAs) to ensure they still meet the FA standards. A January 2022 Signpost article called "Forgotten Featured" explored the effort.
Progress is recorded at the monthly stats page. Through 2022, with 4,526 very old (from the 2004–2009 period) and old (2010–2015) FAs initially needing review:
Of the FAs kept, deemed satisfactory by three reviewers, or delisted, about 60% had prior review between 2004 and 2007; another 20% dated to the period from 2008–2009; and another 20% to 2010–2015. Roughly two-thirds of the old FAs reviewed have retained FA status or been marked "satisfactory", while two-thirds of the very old FAs have been defeatured.
Entering its third year, URFA is working to help maintain FA standards; FAs are being restored not only via FAR, but also via improvements initiated after articles are reviewed and talk pages are noticed. Since the Featured Article Save Award (FASA) was added to the FAR process a year ago, 38 FAs were restored to FA status by editors other than the original FAC nominator. Ten FAs restored to status have been listed at WP:MILLION, recognizing articles with annual readership over a million pageviews, and many have been rerun as Today's featured article, helping increase mainpage diversity.
|
All received a
Million Award
|
But there remain almost 4,000 old and very old FAs to be reviewed. Some topic areas and WikiProjects have been more proactive than others in restoring or maintaining their old FAs. As seen in the chart below, the following have very high ratios of FAs kept to those delisted (ordered from highest ratio):
and others have a good ratio of kept to delisted FAs:
... so kudos to those editors who pitched in to help maintain older FAs !

Noting some minor differences in tallies:

But looking only at the oldest FAs (from the 2004–2007 period), there are 12 content areas with more than 20 FAs still needing review: Biology, Music, Royalty and nobility, Media, Sport and recreation, History, Warfare, Meteorology, Physics and astronomy, Literature and theatre, Video gaming, and Geography and places. In the coming weeks, URFA/2020 editors will be posting lists to individual WikiProjects with the goal of getting these oldest-of-the-old FAs reviewed during 2023.
Ideas for how you can help are listed below and at the Signpost article.
More regular URFA and FAR reviewers will help assure that FAs continue to represent examples of Wikipedia's best work. If you have any questions or feedback, please visit Wikipedia talk:Unreviewed featured articles/2020/4Q2022.

See Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Project-independent quality assessments. This proposes support for quality assessment at the article level, recorded in {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and inherited by the wikiproject banners. However, wikiprojects that prefer to use custom approaches to quality assessment can continue to do so. Aymatth2 ( talk) 20:35, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
An editor has requested for International travel requirements for German citizens to be moved to another page. Since you had some involvement with International travel requirements for German citizens, you might want to participate in the move discussion (if you have not already done so).

Hello, |
Hello and happy January, WikiProject Politics members. I have posted a request to the Issue One Talk page that outlines a proposed update to the article's History section. I previously posted about this, but the message has been archived, so I am trying once again! I suggest retitling the section as "Formation" and simplifying some of the details about the Issue One predecessor organizations.
I have a conflict of interest as I work at Issue One, so my hope is that I can get an experienced editor to review what I've put together and then implement the changes if they seem like improvements. Any help or feedback you can provide would be appreciated! AR at Issue One ( talk) 14:04, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

For the past few weeks Israel has been going through a socio-political turmoil, at the core of which is a so-called "judicial reform" - a set of quasi-constitutional amendments that the government is trying to pass, which will radically alter the power balance between the judiciary and the executive branches. Surrounding this "reform" is a plethora of other proposals, some of which directly depend on the "reform" passing. The whole thing is seen by many as one big "power grab", drawing sharp criticism from across the globe, and sparking waves of protest throughout the country.
So we have one subject (the "reform") contained in, and fueling another (the "power grab"); and many criticisms that address either, or both. How and where should we make the distinction?
Opinions welcome here. François Robere ( talk) 17:29, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello. The 2022 Peruvian self-coup attempt has recently been moved with the mention of it being a self coup attempt removed from the title. The move was made after 8 days of discussion, with only six users intervening and it being cut mid arguments. The discussion is still ongoing on whether it was the right decision, please comment if that may be of interest to you. Aréat ( talk) 01:23, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I have a question about the names of parliaments on Wikipedia. Why are some parliaments' articles just called "Parliament of [Polity]" (examples [1] [2]), some articles are their native names or their transliterations (examples [3] [4]) and some are calques (examples [5] [6]). I noticed that because of the recent Estonian election being on {{ In the news}}. I thought this might be the the most commonly recognized name of the institution, but a quick glance at the references proves otherwise (only Estonian sources use the native name, while other English sources use "Parliament of Estonia"). Is there a reason why the native name or a calque is used in that article and others? Betseg ( talk) 06:16, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello.
Sorry in advance if this is not the right page to ask for it, but I would like some feedback on this draft I wrote last month, which covers the killing of a candidate for mayor in Ecuador, as well as his posthumous election. I was shocked when I first read the news, and I think it's notable enough to constitute a full article, especially since it's related to the recent rise in violence, even towards politicians, all across the country.
I've just opened a discussion on the draft's talk page: any type of advice will be greatly appreciated!

Should the infobox of those with honorific styles such as 'His/Her Excellency' include such titles? For example, Bajram Begaj's infobox includes the style 'His Excellency', as does Edi Rama's, and Michael D. Higgins' (and others, but I don't have the time nor will to look for all examples), but the infoboxes for Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Xi Jinping, etc., and other serving officials who, according to the article ' Excellency', are to be addressed with the honorific style, do not have the style. My question is thus: Should all those who are to be addressed with the honorific style have it displayed in the infobox, or is there another reason why some who are entitled to be addressed in that way have it displayed, and others do not?

[c]onsensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale. For instance, unless they can convince the broader community that such action is right, participants in a WikiProject cannot decide that some generally accepted policy or guideline does not apply to articles within its scope. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 22:05, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
