Section titles

Latest comment: 7 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

So, the section titles are... a little much, especially when we get into listing two or three countries, and you get to the US, which for consistency, should list a dozen, but can't, because that's dumb. Can we not go for something simpler? GMG ^talk 13:28, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

I expanded the headings to be more informative. This article is organized according to the country that had the elections rather than the country that interfered, so I think the least we should do is mention the country that interfered somewhere in each header.

Is there a middle ground there somewhere? Maybe treat it like a parenthetical disambiguation? Like 2002 Bolivian election (U.S.). That still cuts the length down by about half. GMG ^talk 14:25, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

We should have the country name first, because the article is alphabetical by country rather than chronological. So:

Bolivian election (by U.S. in 2002)

I put in the word “role” because in some of these cases there is only suspicion but no proof. Anythingyouwant (talk) 14:52, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
