List of constituencies of the Tripura Legislative Assembly

Nominator(s): -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:40, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've expanded the lead, and the history section, and added some refs, and I think it meets the FL-criteria now. This is my first FL nomination and I hope to quickly incorporate suggestions. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:40, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Drive-by comment

Per MOS:COLOR, you cannot use colour alone in the table to indicate something -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:42, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed by adding a column with the information. I don't think that the background coloring is needed now. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:09, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"Main article" link at the top looks really odd. Just link the words in the first sentence
Merge the first two mega-short paragraphs of the lead
" Indian state of Tripura, in Northeast India" - the word "Indian" is redundant given that you state it is in Northeast India, so what other nationality could it be?
"unless dissolved earlier" => "unless it is dissolved earlier"
Put the wikilink on the whole of "2023 elections", not just on the date
Only one sentence is sourced in the lead
The lead seems a little brief. Could you add something about the SC/ST thing?
In the first table, why was the "Government Of Union Territories Act, 1963" apparently not passed until 1967?
In that same table, why are some acts in italics and others not?
In that same table, you use "and" between the dates on the 1993 row but not on the row below
In that same table, no ref against 2023 on the last row
You use "SC" and "ST" as headers, but don't write them out in full until the next section
"Following is the list of the constituencies" => "The following is a list of the constituencies"
"At present, 10 constituencies are reserved for the candidates" => "At present, 10 constituencies are reserved for candidates"
"and 20 are reserved for the candidates" => "and 20 are reserved for candidates"
Why does that sentence end with a colon?
That's what I got -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:35, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge the first two mega-short paragraphs of the lead Done

" Indian state of Tripura, in Northeast India" - the word "Indian" is redundant given that you state it is in Northeast India, so what other nationality could it be? Done

"unless dissolved earlier" => "unless it is dissolved earlier" Done

Put the wikilink on the whole of "2023 elections", not just on the date Done

Only one sentence is sourced in the lead The current version has a few more refs. There are a couple of more sentences that need refs, since they aren't a synopsis of something presented later in the text.

The lead seems a little brief. Could you add something about the SC/ST thing? Done

In the first table, why was the "Government Of Union Territories Act, 1963" apparently not passed until 1967? An error on my part. The act was passed in 1963, but the next elections were in 1967.

In that same table, why are some acts in italics and others not? Done

In that same table, you use "and" between the dates on the 1993 row but not on the row below Done

In that same table, no ref against 2023 on the last row Done

You use "SC" and "ST" as headers, but don't write them out in full until the next section This shouldn't be a problem with the addition of the new paragraph in the lead

"Following is the list of the constituencies" => "The following is a list of the constituencies" Done

"At present, 10 constituencies are reserved for the candidates" => "At present, 10 constituencies are reserved for candidates" Done

"and 20 are reserved for the candidates" => "and 20 are reserved for candidates" Done

Why does that sentence end with a colon? Fixed

Fixed all. In the lead I've added citations where the information isn't present later. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:20, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"seat of the Legislative Assembly" – don't capitalize "legislative assembly" here since it is used as a general term
- Same for "Electoral college" later
Acts shouldn't be italicized (can't find a specific MOS section for this, but other articles typically don't italicize and other formats such as MLA don't do it)
"Government Of Union Territories Act" – "of" should be lowercase
Effect column should not be sortable since spellings are arbitrary
Last row in history table does not sort correctly in the elections column

Done all except for removing the italics. There isn't a specific section for India, but for Australia the MOS says to italicize the title of acts. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:13, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If we're going by what other countries do, the UK (which probably has a more direct relationship to Indian law) uses non-italicized font (see here, p. 23). A quick search through Category:Indian legislation supports this. But I'll let it be since the MOS is unclear. RunningTiger123 (talk) 19:55, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and removed the italics from the acts. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General queries

I'm not sure if there is value in indicating the reservation status of constituencies via a color. My gut feeling says to remove it, since the information is already present in a column, but I'll wait for FL experts to weigh in.
I'm unsure about the header column for each row. Should I make the constituency name as the header in addition to the number? -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:36, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The color is fine, since there's also text, and I like that it matches the map. The header column is also fine- you only do one header column, so the number is better. You could also remove the number column and make the name the new header. In any case, source review passed; promoting. --Pres N 21:27, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
