Merge Discussion
editHello, I have proposed this article be moved into the main article for the Turkish general election, 2023, as this page has very little information not already on the general election page. Looking at previous pages for elections, the 2018 page does not list opinion polling as a separate page, so this is a departure from the established norm. Looking at other countries, the united states presidential election pages do not have separate articles for polling either. Xevus11 (talk) 16:19, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for opening the discussion. That being said, I have to let you know that you're wrong on nearly all counts. The Turkish election in 2018 has its own polling page, and so do dozens of other countries. The norm is absolutely to have a separate article for polling. Μαρκος Δ 13:40, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
- No idea how I missed that, thanks! Xevus11 (talk) 23:54, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
Do you think it's OK for the WP authors to distribute the undecided by themselves?
editWe in Turkish Wikipedia decided that it's OR (WP:OR) to distribute the undecided because a company might use different methods than simply dividing the undecided by the party percentages. For instance, they might ask people about the parties they'd never vote to get more accurate data. We created separate sections named "including the undecided" and "not including the undecided".
- If a company only publishes data without distributing the undecided (usually the case with MetroPOLL) then it is only presented in the former section.
- If a company publishes both data then it is presented in both sections.
- If a company only publishes data in which the undecided is already distributed then it is presented in the latter section.
Sample sizes
editShould sample sizes be added as a separate column to each table? All other polling lists here have that. Betseg (talk) 02:22, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
Exactly, all other opinion polling pages have that but in my opinion it is not necessary for leadership polling. Also almost all of leadership pollings have no sample size information. Laisves1 (talk) 15:34, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- In my opinion exact dates are very important for approval rates because certain events could trigger a drop in approval ratings of politicians. --Betseg (talk) 10:46, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
Vote by alliance graph split
editThe vote by alliance graph is very misleading, as some of these polls distribute HDP + others and others don't. It would be ideal of there were two graphs, one which shows only Cumhur vs Millet and one which shows Cumhur, Millet, and HDP + others Benlittlewiki (talk) 21:45, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- I've been thinking about proposing this change for a while now, I think we should go through with it. CompoLUS (talk) 23:25, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Split presidential and parliamentary sections
editI think the article is getting too long "to comfortably navigate" as the MOS says, and other countries' polling articles with this many polls are also split. Betseg (talk) 02:28, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- It's now done on Turkish Wikipedia. --Betseg (talk) 06:35, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
The firm "Optimar" is biased
editIt's biased towards AKP in every poll they make. They should not be included as their polls are not a reliable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.230.177.203 (talk) 17:23, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
Moving average
editThe parameter setting in the charts "interpolate = bundle" is very misleading. It suggests a moving average, which it doesn't seem to be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:638:911:10B:134:109:144:34 (talk) 15:43, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
