Election Rigging Response Act

Hi! While I appreciate the article, I do think that it needs to be draftified for now since the Legislature has not approved the measure to be on the ballot. As is, it violates WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTALBALL since it definitively states that a ballot measure will be taking place, when in fact, we don't yet know. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2025 Tennessee's 7th congressional district special election was draftified for a similar reason. If not, I'll likely add the AfD template and start a discussion soon. AG202 (talk) 22:07, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

@AG202 while usually true, the article can be re-worded. It is notable as an act of legislation, separate from the vote. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 22:36, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
@Yoblyblob: The effort itself is notable, but there is no act yet. We don't know what the actual contents of it will be and we should not be declaring anything concrete about what it would do. Ex: Is it a legislatively referred constitutional amendment? Are the maps a part of the amendment or are they separate? Will "Election Rigging Response Act" even be the official title? There are too much many unknowns for there to be an article with this title. AG202 (talk) 22:48, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
@AG202 I think Newsom's press release covers some of this.
"Governor Newsom unveiled the framework for the proposed constitutional amendment — which will be known as The Election Rigging Response Act"
Just under that, it clarifies that this will all be in one amendment.
"Retains California’s Citizens Redistricting Commission and declares state policy supporting the use of fair, nonpartisan redistricting commissions nationwide.
Temporarily adopts new California congressional districts for use in congressional elections through 2030." Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 22:53, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
@Yoblyblob: I saw the press release, yes, but that still does not alleviate the fact that the Act has not been filed. We should not make articles about acts that simply do not exist. It violates WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTALBALL. We should wait until the act is filed in the legislature at the very least. We don't even know if it'll be amended or even pass in the first place.

Collaboration on the Bad End Theater article

Greetings. Some time ago I began my own work towards a Bad End Theater article. Unlike you I began with a review of the sources and found that Bad End Theater is barely notable, but I hadn't started writing anything yet. So, I think we can help each other out :). Here's a table summary of my findings (see the draft I linked to for more details):

Source assessment table prepared by User:The Sophocrat
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
Wellesley College thesis
Yes Author has no relation to developer. Yes Written for the author's Honors in Media Arts and Sciences. I don't entirely understand WP:THESIS, but I think this source is acceptable as it was advised by 4 thesis advisers (who are all, of course, qualified people from the college). Yes I would say a 630-word chapter is significant coverage. Yes
Final Weapon review
Yes Magazine has no relation to developer. Yes Never discussed at the reliable sources noticeboard. Their About us page seems professional enough so I believe they are reliable for this review. Yes Review is entirely about the video game. Yes
PC Gamer short review
Yes Magazine has no relation to developer. Yes Listed as reliable for this area at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources. ~ At 230 words/5 short paragraphs, the review is pretty short. ~ Maybe
Game Developer interview
No Article is an interview with the game's developer. Yes Reliable video game online magazine per WP:GAMEDEVELOPER. Yes Interview is entirely about the video game and the developer's experience of creating it. No
Tech-Gaming review
Yes Author has no relation to developer. No An editor at the reliable sources noticeboard wrote that "Tech-Gaming is basically a prolific blog, by an anonymous person, who is its sole employee, so it is a WP:SPS.". Looking at the website he seems to be right. The author doesn't claim to be a subject-matter expert either so this source isn't reliable. Yes Review is entirely about the video game. No
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

As you can see we have two sources unambiguously useful for notability (the thesis and the Final Weapon review [which another editor already pointed out to you]) and one so-so source (the PC Gamer short review). If we consider that last source valid for notability, then we have 3 sources to meet the general notability guideline and our article is good to go on that front.

I will help out at the draft, particularly improving the lead and expanding the gameplay and reception sections. Cheers, Sophocrat (talk) 18:13, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi @The Sophocrat, per the draft talk page, another editor said the PCGamer source would qualify as significant coverage. Also, I started a discussion and the WikiProject's source review talk page on Final Weapon, and consensus appears to be building that it is notable. I wasn't aware of that thesis, and don't really know about the standards. Thanks for helping out at the page!
Ideally any unreliable sources on the page should be removed and replaced with those reliable ones. I probably plan to continue working on the page in the future as well. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 18:32, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Yoblyblob, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 13:52, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Heyyy!

How can I get a map to create the Durham primary precinct level results? I can't find an svg that works in Inkscape !!

The results are here: https://er.ncsbe.gov/?election_dt=10/07/2025&county_id=32&office=ALL&contest=0 and they've formatted them so nicely that it'd be a crime for me to not make the map. Aesurias (talk) 04:20, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Nvm! Did it, uploaded, added, and will add the city wards soon + general results as well when election happens! Aesurias (talk) 05:37, 8 October 2025 (UTC)
@Aesurias I am curious on how you did it, and for future reference I do not have the skills needed to make a precinct level map. It requires more software than just inkscape, so I am not really familiar with all that. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 13:14, 8 October 2025 (UTC)
I just did it with Inkscape !!! I got the 2023 precinct map from the last election (wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise), used the precinct map from that link and altered it all. If there was no 2023 map or no precinct map (i.e. just precinct data!!) it would've been a lot harder Aesurias (talk) 21:02, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Hey

Why is this 2026 Harris County Judge election#Polling hypothetical polling? At that point, all 3 of the candidates had declared for the Dem primary and Hidalgo had announced she was not running for re-election, though Erica Lee Carter withdrew just before the polling was published. Aesurias (talk) 21:42, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

@Aesurias oh, she ran? I did not read into that article. I will remove that Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 21:53, 16 October 2025 (UTC)
She declared but withdrew rather quickly, I believe she declared a few days before they began polling, and withdrew 1-2 days before its release. She was originally running to try get Hidalgo out but as she declined to run for re-election, there was no need. I'm still not really sure if she should be put in Withdrawn or Declined because she didn't do a proper campaign, but she did technically declare Aesurias (talk) 22:01, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

Should i...

Should I rename 2025 Pennsylvania Supreme Court elections to 2025 Pennsylvania Supreme Court election???

I just realized that it is, in reality, only 1 election lol Aesurias (talk) 21:24, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

@Aesurias I think just "election" is best. Guideline at WP:NCGAL says
"For elections to particular bodies or offices, default to the form "[date] [country name or adjectival form] [body/office] election"."
I think the Pennsylvania Supreme Court applies here, even though they are retention elections rather than usual ones. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 21:50, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to 2025–26 1. Liga Classic when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you 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, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.

During Phase 1, we reviewed 16,658 articles and 4,416 redirects, and there is currently a backlog of 16,475 articles and 23,782 redirects in the queue. Fantastic job! Completing 22,502 patrols in the first phase made a significant dent in the backlog. Let's keep our foot on the gas for Phase 2, and I hope we can achieve even more reviews than Phase 1. Best of luck!

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Cam Ward (politician) when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you 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, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.

Board of regents elections

In Michigan, party nominees for University of Michigan positions (as well as attorney general, Secretary of State, and other positions) are decided at party conventions rather than public primaries.

There will not be a primary election, so the candidates who won the party endorsement at the convention are now the nominees. Lovelyfurball (talk) 13:52, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

@Lovelyfurball per Bridge Michigan, candidates will be officially nominated in the fall convention:
"While it’s possible the candidates selected at the spring conventions could be replaced during fall nominating conventions, that’s highly unlikely and has not occurred since the major parties began early endorsements." Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 13:56, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
Interesting. I was under the impression that this was the nominating convention, my mistake. Lovelyfurball (talk) 14:06, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
I mean, people are reporting on it as such, since it is basically almost confirmed. I wouldn't oppose it if some discussion was held and people want to treat them as "presumptive" nominees, but I think consensus would be needed. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 14:07, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
