Hello UruGhan. Just to let you know, we have a naming convention for election articles (at WP:NC-GAL) and that the correct title for the article is "Texas State Senate election, 2018" not "Texas State Senate elections, 2018" (as per this line in the naming convention: "For elections to particular bodies or offices, default to the form "Demonym Body/Office election, date", as in: Scottish Parliament election, 2007, Nepalese Constituent Assembly election, 2008, or Kentucky Attorney General election, 2011."). Cheers, Number 57 12:32, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hello again. I've seen you moved some articles back. There is no exception for American articles to the naming guideline I mentioned above, so these articles should not have plural titles. If you wish to propose a change to the naming format, you're welcome to suggest one at the talk page of WP:NC-GAL. However, I am not convinced that there should be an exception here. Cheers, Number 57 21:41, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hello. Ok, I'm really confused. I am just trying to do what you editors say, but I'm being scolded for one thing from you (using plural) and for the other (using singular) from others. Honestly, I just really like focusing on state legislatures and thought it would be helpful to understand the elections on the local level, but I am so bogged down in each editor constantly bickering over title (election vs. elections) that I'm over it entirely. Honestly, I couldn't care less about election vs. elections. The other editors point to example that EVERY U.S. House of Representatives election page is PLURAL (see United States House of Representatives elections, 2018 page for example). You point to Scottish parliament as counter example. I don't care, but each of you use different examples and counterexamples and it is frustrating because it is pointless.
- Sorry about that and don't worry about it – the guideline is the overriding guide on what's right or wrong, so just keep in line with that (at some point I plan on sorting out the US House and Senate elections, which are the only national election articles at those titles). Your new article are much appreciated – I was commenting yesterday that I'm amazed at how poor our coverage of state elections is (some states don't have a single article) compared to British and Australian second tier elections. Keep up the good work! Number 57 16:02, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- Also, I've created categories for most of the states for state legislature articles: Category:State legislature elections in the United States. If you create an article on a state that doesn't yet have a category, feel free to create one. Cheers, Number 57 16:03, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Categories edit
Hello UruGhan. Please don't put election articles in Category:State upper houses in the United States or Category:State lower houses in the United States. These categories are only for articles on the legislatures themselves, not elections. Thanks, Number 57 20:42, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
Vermont legislative elections pages edit
Thanks for creating the pages Vermont State Senate elections, 2018 and Vermont House of Representatives elections, 2018! That must have taken a lot of work and as a fellow creator of pages that probably don't get seen by many people I really appreciate it, they were very well done. I hope you don't mind the changes I made to streamline the pages, the bones of your work are all still there :) Nevermore27 (talk) 02:24, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

External links in body of article. edit
WP:ELPOINTS reads- "With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article.[1] Instead, include appropriate external links in an "External links" section at the end of the article, and in the appropriate location within an infobox, if applicable."
So please put links to the maps in a section titled External links....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 09:35, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

On Template:Infobox election edit
Great job on creating the Iowa Senate elections pages, but as a future warning, for the parameter | party1 = Republican Party (United States)|Republican you need to put either | party1 = [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] or just | party1 = Republican Party (United States), since the Infobox election template already handles shorting of party names and otherwise interprets "Republican" as another, unknown parameter. Then it gets put into Category:Pages_using_infobox_election_with_unknown_parameters and backs it up. Same goes with party2 and Democratic, etc.Ilovecrabcakes1462 (talk) 22:50, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
Links to draft articles edit
Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to 2022 North Dakota Senate election. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 19:27, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted edit
Hi UruGhan, 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! – Joe (talk) 07:17, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
