Talk:Yorkshire and the Humber (European Parliament constituency)

Candidates

The article gives a list of candidates but does not give any details of what they are candidates for. It would be good to give some details of when the election takes place etc. as without any details it is useless. Keith D (talk) 22:42, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Results tables

I think that using comma separated names is difficult to read, especially when names wrap round on the lines and I prefer to have a single name per line to ease reading. I know this makes the tables bigger but that is OK if it makes reading easier. Wondering what others think on this. Keith D (talk) 16:59, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree that it harms readability. When I moved this year's candidates to their election boxes, however, User:Galloglass reverted my changes to all the UK European Parliament constituency pages apart from this one and Wales. His reason was that the boxes were "distorting" the page. I used commas as a compromise. If we stick with it, we could use {{nowrap}}... Mibblepedia (talk) 18:16, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

We certainly need to keep the lists of candidates, as this is useful information. The version with breaks did get a bit long-winded. Perhaps using non-breaking spaces within candidate names would be less work than "nowrap"? PamD (talk) 18:29, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, that didn't take long - have added non-breaking spaces to all the 2009 candidates - will wait for comments before doing it to any others. PamD (talk) 18:35, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Looks good to me. Is there a   equivalent for hyphens, e.g. for Edward McMillan-Scott? Mibblepedia (talk) 18:42, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Nothing I can find on a quick Google which looks reliable. Perhaps we need to use non-wrap for any hyphenated folk. PamD (talk) 18:50, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

That is not much better. The main problem still remains of the almost indistinguishable comma between the names especially of they are links. Separate lines is much clearer. Keith D (talk) 19:38, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

If you continue with non-breaking space it needs applying to past results as well. Keith D (talk) 19:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Obviously, but I didn't want to waste time in case the consensus went against it - I did the 2009 candidates as an experiment/demo. PamD (talk) 22:39, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

One problem is that some constituencies have huge numbers of candidates. National constituencies don't use these tables so there's no problem there, but others do. For example, the 20-member East France constituency had 224 candidates last time. In comparison, Y&H has 69 and looks stretched with line breaks.

Perhaps we could have a compromise whereby elected candidates get lines of their own, but others don't? Mibblepedia (talk) 21:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

I wonder which general forum we could be discussing this in, as it would be desirable for the UK Euroconstituencies to have a common format? PamD (talk) 22:39, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

You see, when I created the initial candidate boxes, I had in mind the London Assembly 2008 elections article where we put the elected candidates in bold in one column, and the unelected in another column. But edits have made reverting to that system is fairly impossibe now! doktorb _words^deeds 07:20, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

There's no reason we can't create new templates with a third column. Mibblepedia (talk) 09:39, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I originally created the articles as a result of my involvement with Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Parliament constituencies, though Wikipedia:WikiProject European Union may be the appropriate place to discuss this. Mibblepedia (talk) 09:39, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
