Talk:1999 Cardiff Council election

Betty Campbell

There is a wikipedia article entitled Betty Campbell so my understanding is that this was now to be used in result tables - but don't have a strong view and open to discussion. Macs15 (talk) 21:49, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

She stood as Rachel Elizabeth Campbell, as far as I'm aware. We normally use the names recorded in the election results, for election results, rather than common names or names recorded elsewhere. Sionk (talk) 23:33, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

I agree that this is how names should appear in election results. Other editors have disagreed with me in the past. Happy to leave this as it is.Macs15 (talk) 23:43, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

By-elections 1995-1999

These should appear under the 1995 not the 1999 election article. Good that the information has been souurced. Happy to discuss. Macs15 (talk) 20:10, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

I had always assumed they go under the election before not the election after. i.e. "there was an election then these by-elections happened". Otherwise what would happen with by-elections in the current term? Benawu2 (talk) 00:10, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Just read what I typed and realised I agree with you. Will fix.

Many thanks! Macs15 (talk) 20:21, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
