Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics#rfc 41C13B1

Hi everyone,

I would like some community feedback on the continued relevance of the article on Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe as a transnational political alliance -- note that this is different from the article on ALDE as a European political party or as a political group of the European Parliament, or as a political group of PACE, or in the Committee of the Regions.

The page is not really developed and has not changed much in a while. Meanwhile, I am not really sure that this "alliance" between ALDE Party and the EDP is still a thing, and the EDP's website does not seem to mention it at all. The number of seats in the EP is also wrong and the website is actually that of ALDE Party. At the very least, if we are to keep this page, it should probably be in the past tense. What do you think? Julius Schwarz (talk) 08:28, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

:Any input, anyone? If not, I would really move ahead and change this to the past tense. Julius Schwarz (talk) 07:44, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

I cleaned up the worst of this. This was [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jackie_Norris&diff=prev&oldid=1290212968 the before]. Apparently she (or one of her employees) put in a bunch of weasel words and spam links. She is a potential candidate for the 2026 United States Senate election in Iowa. Can somebody further clean up this article? Bearian (talk) 02:43, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello everyone I would like to as if we the Wikipedia Politics community can remove Color Bar on the election infoboxes for all nonpartison Election races for the United States. Quick explanation on nonpartisan elections, nonpartisan elections where the candidates party affiliation is not listed on the ballot in the United States, The color bars (shown on the first infobox on the bottom of the candidates pictures) we added to not add political party on the election infobox but most editers will still put political parties or will remove the color bars as a good faith edit but some veteran editors will put the color bars back on the election infoboxes. To end the madness I would like to request the we remove the color boxes to end good faith edit and to make it visually easier for people who are color blind to see the election infoboxes (shown on second infobox) thank you.

(The candidates pictures are used as an example and are not actual election infoboxes)

:That can be useful when complementing a map underside. However, I have no issues if color bar is removed either. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 18:51, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

::Hello CX Zoom[he/him] I see your point on the map underside. The madness of editers put political parties or will remove the color bars as a good faith edit is overwhelming inconvenient. 2603:8000:57F0:92E0:DD0D:B754:A364:DB4D (talk) 02:01, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

:Why not use the campaign colour of the candidate? (signs, website, literature, etc). That's what we do in Canadian municipal elections, most of which are non partisan as well. -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:09, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

::Hello Earl Andrew - talk using the campaign colour is what started the madness of editers put political parties as a good faith from me looking at the edit history. 2603:8000:57F0:92E0:DD0D:B754:A364:DB4D (talk) 02:02, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

:Well, we definitely shouldn't be using four non-partisan colour bars, because at that point it's not actually informing anything (that it's a non-partisan election can be mentioned in the body). But a better approach would be to identify each candidate with the colours they use in their campaign materials. Colour-coding can be quite handy, since most election pages have results maps or polling graphs — and identifying a candidate with a certain colour can a) serve as a legend before you get to those graphics and b) ensure that all those graphics are consistent with each other. As for how to determine those colours, like Earl Andrew said, we can use their campaign materials for guidance. This is essentially what we already do for internal party contests: 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries gives each candidate their own colour instead of everyone having Democratic blue. — Kawnhr (talk) 18:34, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

::I agree with this. Use colours if they have them, but if not, don't use them at all. Colour bars aren't used on (e.g.) 2024 Icelandic presidential election because it's a nonpartisan election. Number 57 21:12, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Hello Number 57 I believe that we should use the 2024 Icelandic presidential election infobox for nonpartison election races for the United States to end the good fath edit madness. 2603:8000:57F0:92E0:DD0D:B754:A364:DB4D (talk) 02:09, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

::Hello Kawnhr (talk) I mention this to Earl Andrew - talk by using the campaign colour is what started the madness of editers put political parties as a good faith from me looking at the edit history. 2603:8000:57F0:92E0:DD0D:B754:A364:DB4D (talk) 02:06, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

:I'll just let people know that this is most likely a sockpuppet of FYE31, who has frequently campaigned against grey coloring in nonpartisan elections in the past under different accounts. Personally, I've been against removing colors, I think it just looks bad without anything, but I can endorse the idea that {{no ping|Kawnhr}} said where it's using campaign colors/color-coding to identify them. I like that idea way more than just removing them altogether. reppop^talk 05:45, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
