Hi, I am wondering what the protocol is for making pages for electoral wards that were originally single wards, then merged with other wards only to become a single ward aagain. For example eastcote ward of Hillingdon London Borough Council. It started out as a seperate ward then became part of Eastcote and East Ruislip ward in 2002 and then became a single ward again in 2022.

Should the name be Eastcote (ward) for the first idnependent ward the Eastcote (2022 ward) for the second or should it be one page and just mention both time frames within the page? TheHaloVeteran2 (talk) 13:25, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

:It seems revived constituencies have separate articles. See, for example, Cardiff East (UK Parliament constituency) and Cardiff East (1918–1950 UK Parliament constituency). Howard the Duck (talk) 13:45, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

:I would recommend a single article rather than two, particularly at the local level instead of Parliament where more coverage exists. But I don't think local electoral districts should generally have standalone articles either. Reywas92^Talk 00:19, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

::US state legislatures have articles about specific districts like California's 1st senatorial district for the California State Senate (contrast to California's 1st congressional district for the US House of Representatives). Staying in California, there are articles about Los Angeles City Council districts, such as Los Angeles's 1st City Council district, which is rather well developed.

::If WP:GNG can be found on local constituencies, nothing is holding back a person from writing an article about it.

::Staying on the original question though, in numbered districts, the article remains about the numbered district even if the actual places had changed. For example, in California's 1st congressional district, at its earliest it was mostly centered in southern California, then to San Francisco, then the Bay Area, northeastern California, now it's at northwestern California; it's been all over the state.

:::In Canada, revived constituencies always go in the same article, unless the boundaries are radically different (and even then, this hasn't always been the case). I don't see what the need is for multiple articles. -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:37, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

How would I determine the color of an Italian political party? Some of them have commonly associated ones (like centere left or right coalitions) but others don’t have official colors. How would I go about finding and determining the colors of a party? Vestrix (talk) 18:44, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
