Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to 1923 United Kingdom general election in Scotland when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Specifying |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= needs to be defined in the template in order to work. You can look at the documentation for the template being used, but it is also helpful to use the preview button before saving an edit; this helps find any errors that have been made and ensures that the values added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is highly recommended that editors use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions of if I can help explain further, please let me know! You can also contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 20:41, 7 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your contributions to 1918 United Kingdom general election in Wales. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and you should read WP:GNG. When creating an article, you should ensure there are two sources which give WP:SIGCOV to the subject of the article among the references. This is not the case here.. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Hi. With regard to some of your recent excellent election edits, could you please note that Clement Attlee is spelt thus, with two Ts in the surname rather than a single one? Hope this helps, best wishes DBaK (talk) 21:12, 2 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page February 1974 United Kingdom general election, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A generic name error. References show this error when author or editor name parameters use placeholder names, or the name of the newspaper or organisation, instead of the source's actual author or editor name. If no human author is given, the fields should be removed. (Fix | Ask for help). Below are the references causing this error:
  • The American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research. Howard R. Penniman (ed.). Britain at the Polls: The Parliamentary Elections of 1974. p. 24. {{cite book}}: |author1= has generic name (help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 14:14, 3 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi mate, I am happy that in the 79 through 87 elections the SDP and Liberals are now split in the infobox rather than mashed together, but I wonder what this means for a casual reader, as both the map and the HoC table keep just one colour—gold—for Alliance seats, without any SDP "purple." Would you think it wise to add a clarifying note, or update the graphics? Incidentally, I am just a touch wary about popularising the use of SDP purple, which is an anachronism of convenience. SDP had red and blue but not blended together. What do you think? JJLiu112 (talk) 18:38, 10 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hiya,

I was concerned about the colour confusion when I made the changes too (I thought presenting them almost like party previously was a little misleading).

I am still attempting to track down all the candidates for the 1987 election to make the full table as accurate as possible (it's proving a little difficult as the Parliamentary records website seem to be off a little compared with the academic collations). Taking time, sadly.

I think the note is a good idea as to the colours for the map as to why SDP is a different colour (I will fix that soon). I would change the wiki colours on the map myself, but I have no idea how to make those election maps on the seperate wiki commons site, nor how wiki commons functions as a whole. There is a similar issue with the Scottish and Welsh sub-pages where the colours used are the 1980s-2024 Liberal Democrat orange, which distorts this a little further (Though this is not as bad as the Conservative v Liberal Unionists v Irish Unionist Party colouring in the 1886 - Dec. 1910 elections).

In terms of the SDP colouring in general, I am not entirely sure as to how to correct the colours other than dictating it as the wiki pre-set colour being purple ('party colour|Social Democratic Party (UK)'). The red or blue colouring of the party as the official colours I understand being a good idea as they were, well, the official colours. But it isn't possible to use split colours for political parties, and it may be a little difficult to show the party compared with the blue of the Conservatives and red for Labour even if using one or the other (I think is why it is like that though these decisions were made years ago, hence the anachronism, I suppose). I would assume there is some code page that makes it so, which usually attached within the party's page; however, political party pages tend to be locked or limited to moderator edits only.

Sounds good, best of luck. Maybe someone at the WikiProjects could help you more directly? JJLiu112 (talk) 18:46, 11 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
