Voter Participation figures[edit]

Where do these estimates come from, if they cannot be sourced properly, they need to go. Chartinael (talk) 13:03, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried reading the references?--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 18:17, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

yes. Please point to the specific reference that ascertains eligible voter numbers in order to calculate participation. Chartinael (talk) 18:44, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not doing your work. Read the references yourself.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 11:27, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Look, I did and there are no sources for the figures ... they are estimated by the orgs and that is it. Except for Norway. However all numbers are unsourced. Chartinael (talk) 11:33, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So if you haven't gotten anything better than Tamilnet figures, they need to go. Chartinael (talk) 11:49, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The number of people who participated i.e. voted, is a matter of fact. The only estimates are the numbers eligible to vote. Hence the "c" before the figures. If the organisers say these numbers are eligible it's good enough for me. Do I need to source the source? Why have you chose to target this article? What is your problem?--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 18:28, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That may be good enough for you, but not for any encyclopedic lemma. Chartinael (talk) 22:05, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is written by an imbecile.

Single source[edit]

Nearly all the sources come from TamilNet, which is described as a "pro rebel LTTE website" in its wiki article. It can hardly be considered a reliable or objective source.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 07:27, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
