Disambiguation link notification for March 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Strathkelvin and Bearsden (UK Parliament constituency), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Morrison (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Moss Side

Hi Darrenjolley, I see that you have in effect reverted my last edit for Manchester Moss Side, where I had flipped the sequence of results so that they ran in chronological rather than reverse chronological order. I have similarly flipped the results in other constituencies and had planned to do so in a number of others. The issue of which order results appeared was discussed in the UK politics project page earlier this year. I don't know if you read that discussion. It was initiated by an editor who said that they did not like the fact that in some cases the results appeared with the most recent first. It was argued that this was better for the casual reader who wanted to read about their current constituency's election record. However, for those pages where the constituency is no longer current, this arguement did not apply. This is the case with Moss Side, which is why I chose to flip it, to make a historical article more easy to follow. In the light of this information, would you be willing to revert your last edit?

Format for election results within uk politics articles

Please have regard to the consensus regarding the appropriate format. Names of candidates should be common names only, where such candidates have personal articles that contain additional biographical information. Middle names, titles, honorifics etc. should not be added into election results; there is no need for it. Further, where non-notable candidates are still alive full names should not be used. Thank you. MapReader (talk) 21:27, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

I see you are still doing this; kindly stop. MapReader (talk) 12:02, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Also, kindly have a read of WP:SOCK. Editing patterns are very distinctive, and making multiple edits under IP and mobile addresses when you have an account could be regarded seriously by the community. MapReader (talk) 04:29, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Darren. Saw your edit. All good. What is the difference between the short - and long -. And how do I find the long one? :) Benawu2 (talk) The long just looks better IMO. As for finding it, just click on and left click with mouse and you should see an option to copy.

Minus signs

Please do not use a long dash to represent minus signs. Use the minus sign (−) which you'll find under "Insert", immediately to the left of the multiplication sign (×). Thank you.----Ehrenkater (talk) 13:56, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

To reiterate the above point: please use the correct character - the minus sign. The long dash you're using looks ridiculous. Absconded Northerner (talk) 09:28, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Again, please stop changing election results to use mdashes for negative numbers. An mdash is in no way a minus sign. See MOS:NEGATIVE. Use an actual minus sign or leave it as a regular hyphen. --Belbury (talk) 09:34, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
