Order of election results

Dear Number 57,

could you point me to any Wikipedia Style policy that confirms your point? (I could not find any)

To me alphabetical sorting seems more logical to order election results. ΙℭaℜuΣatthe☼ (talk). 19:49, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. Your common sense apparently differs from mine. I can not see anything absurd in ordering them alphabetically. Alphabetical order also has the advantage of ensuring continuity, if a political system changes, e.g. parliamentary to presidential one. ΙℭaℜuΣatthe☼ (talk). 00:53, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Standardising

Just to let you know, I'm standardising the results section of parties in South Korea, as most weren't uniform. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 11:19, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're not standardising them (I have hundreds of political party articles on my watchlist and I've never seen that format before). What I was doing was bringing them in line with most other party articles. Also, your blind reverts undid several other improvements to the articles. Please don't simply hit undo without properly looking at what you're doing. Number 5 7 12:25, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was standardising them to what they are like on the main current parties in SK, and they are a bit like that on the UK political pages too. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 12:56, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask, who set the standard for the tables? ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 15:31, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it was one particular editor. The format has evolved over the years. Number 5 7 15:34, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In all honesty, I thought before joining Wikipedia that a standard would be set for each country, of course developed over the years. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 15:36, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are a lot of things that aren't standardised unfortunately, which can be quite annoying... Number 5 7 15:47, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Has there ever been an attempt to? ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 15:51, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I'm aware of. Number 5 7 16:15, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Where would one go to propose such a thing as standardisation? ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 16:16, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics would seem to be the obvious place. Number 5 7 16:34, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hey I had a question. Is it possible for someone to write out a proposal why someone should be banned, and then want to have the community vote if they agree or disagree with the proposal? If that does exist, where would one go about posting that? Best, Zeke (talk) 23:18, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
