Talk:2012 Indian presidential election

Why is Pranab Mukherjee's picture used on this article

He is nothing more than a nominee among many others. Why is his picture on this article even before the election process is completed? by William Emmanual | Send me a Message 08:23, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

William,

Please visit Last election page. Its just a display of Nominees. So far we've got only one nominee and that why his picture is figured out there. --BabuOnWiki (talk) 14:59, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Can we remove the pic of Pranab Mukherjee from the infobox. Also, there is no need of having pic of any nominee at this stage, including that of Sangma. They are not the only candidates in the elections, although little is known about others candidates. Instead, we can place their ppics in other sections of the article, if needed. theTigerKing 14:17, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Biased Opinion

Saying APJ Abdul Kalam is supported by the entire nation is just a very biased opinion and shows favouritism of the authorpoint of viewBjs123 (talk) 04:53, 18 June 2012 (UTC). Facebook users does not compromise ENTIRE NATION OF INDIA.

Edit request on 21 June 2012

Please add the picture of P A Sangma in the page .He is the contestant for the Indian Presidential address I have uploaded his image in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_A_Sangma the pic is available from File:P A Sangma.jpg Thanks Rparasaran (talk) 09:29, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Not done for now: Please establish that there's consensus to add an image of Sangma to this article. (I see there's only one image there now, from a field of 14 "potential candidates".) Also, the image you uploaded appears to lack required copyright information; that should be resolved before proceeding in any way. Rivertorch (talk) 09:58, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

I dont now about the image but he is a candudate so need to remove the link and name(Lihaas (talk) 12:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)).

Note: Picture of P.A. Sangma needs to be added to this article as he has also filled the nomination papers for the election and competes with Pranab Mukherjee, along with other candidates (the photographs/images of whom may not be available and may not have any information on them).

Cleanup rewrite 29 June 2012

The article is updated regularly. The article needs to be re-written for maintaining WP:MOS once the presidential elections are over. It may not be possible at present. The article is incomplete on various fronts and needs to be expanded. The structure of the document is improper. And, the grammar used is both improper and incorrect at many places. The article is biased at various places too (perspective of all the candidates is needed).Vaibhavgupta1989 (talk) 17:07, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

I agree with all you say. I've left a note at WT:WikiProject_Elections_and_Referendums. Rivertorch (talk) 17:47, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Although you could help in rewriting instead of adding several tags all over the place with nothing to explain or change. 1 tag gets answered so you go ahead and tag bomb? thats not AGF(Lihaas (talk) 07:26, 30 June 2012 (UTC)).

Procedure

Can we shift this section to President of India, as it contains the procedure followed to select the President of India. Regards Vaibhavgupta1989 (talk) 09:14, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Les see what others think. bu its general background info on all election articles.(Lihaas (talk) 09:57, 1 July 2012 (UTC)).

Removed most of it. BetteR? If so, mark resolved.Lihaas (talk) 19:24, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Removal of trivial section at the end of the article

The section 'New President' at the end of the article seems trivial. Although it contains cited information, the section does not give any information that is relevant to the article ie. 2012 Presidential election. The section lists some of the emoluments that Mr. Mukherjee is entitled to just like any other president. Removed the section twice and yet it reappeared. Removing it again. If you feel it is important enough to be included in the article, please discuss here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Master purav (talk • contribs) 18:37, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

I cut it out per you comment a while ago.Lihaas (talk) 01:24, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Redundant tale data

As duly explained on the editors page, there is a continous insertion of redundant info where the same source is cited in prose with the same data (and he blindly reverts with the same source listed thrice now) and said editor still continues to disregard and blindly insert the now redundant info. Prose is always prefereable to tables. Kindly see [1]Lihaas (talk) 05:34, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
