Reliability Issues of Sources
1. The link for Grassroots democracy says that it lacks citations therefore, the information that it contains may be misleading. If you click on the link, it warns you that it is not a verified article. Mcampo-06 (talk) 01:10, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
2. The link for the Association of State Green Parties also lacks citations. It can contain false information since it is not a verified article. It is not a reliable source. Mcampo-06 (talk) 01:10, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
Link does not work
In the references section, the link on number 36 does not work. When you click on it, it will say the page was not found. Mcampo-06 (talk) 01:19, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
Move/rename article to "Green Party (United States)"
I think we should consider moving/renaming this article to be called just Green Party (United States) in keeping consistent with the other three largest parties in the United States. The Democratic Party (United States), Republican Party (United States), and Libertarian Party (United States). I know a redirect exists at present, but I personally would argue that that itself is insufficient, and that a consistency of naming across the four largest major parties in the United states would make sense, and since 3 out of 4 already are there... the only one remaining to "fix" or change would be this one–the Green Party. If we can gain consensus for this, I'll make the move. ♥Th78blue (talk)♥ 18:51, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- This has gone back and forth a couple of times. I would tend to keep the current title per WP:NATURAL, because that's what the party calls itself, either that or "Green Party US".[1] The others simply aren't the Democratic Party of the United States, etc.; so it probably would be an unnecessary false consistency to retitle this article.

- Thanks for pointing me to that. I just read over the section, and I do still think that in this case, the Green Party page would be better suited (easier for the lay person to find, which is also an important aspect of the encyclopedia), if it had this consistency in named per the text in Parenthetical disambiguation. How strongly do you feel about this? I personally have linked to the various US political parties across hundreds of different pages, and the only (of the major four) that trips me up from time to time is the GP. I think having the redirect to Green Party of the United States personally makes the most sense to me, even if it is
"what the party calls itself"
given how similar (yet different) the two naming styles are.♥Th78blue (talk)♥ 20:25, 23 June 2022 (UTC)- Another factor in favor of natural disambiguation is Greens/Green Party USA, which was also known as the Green Party. I don't feel particularly strongly about it, but the change has been tried and reverted twice before, so we should see if others have any opinion. Station1 (talk) 20:40, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Interesting you raise the Greens/Green Party USA, I was not overly familiar with them myself. Given the vastly more prominent GP is the "Green Party of the United States", but that the norm for the other three "majors" is one way, I still feel we are just making it harder for people to wikilink to the correct and dominant "Green Party" in the US by not using the parenthetical disambiguation, but I agree, it would be nice to hear from others.. ♥Th78blue (talk)♥ 01:04, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- I think the arguments presented here on both sides make sense, however, given the fact that the other major parties ALL use parenthetically disambiguated nomenclature, it seems to me that it would make sense for the Wikipedia page describing the Green Party of the United States to be appropriately named "Green Party (United States)".

- I agree with @Fenharrow and @Th78blue. It seems odd to me that the other three major party's pages are entitled Libertarian Party (United States), Democratic Party (United States), and Republican Party (United States) but the Green Party's page is entitled "Green Party of the United States". I believe that, to keep it consistent, we should change it to Green Party (United States). Pulpfiction621 (talk) 16:51, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'm against this move as it is 1) not the official name of the party and 2) not consistent with other similar parties (see Green Party). Moreover, renaming without actual consensus is not acceptable.--User:Namiba 17:48, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Presidential Ballot Access
The table has white font with yellow, green, and red highlights, it is hard to read green and red, and nearly impossible to read yellow. I would change the colors myself but I do not know how. It should be changed to improve the ease of reading the table. 69.140.19.116 (talk) 04:17, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
