List of Northwest Territories general elections[edit]

This is a second nomination attempt. Please see Archive1. The original nomination failed on objections of picture copyrights on the four maps. I have tweaked and polished the article since. --Cloveious 05:09, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Looks good. --Carnildo 06:50, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, subject to two points:
    1. Perhaps it is just my setup, but the three tables in section 2, Elections and Appointed Councils of the Northwest Territories, overlapped so I couldn't read them properly. This problem occurred with both the classic skin, when I was logged in, and the monobook skin, when I was logged out. I've tried to fix this using one larger table to specify a layout for the three smaller tables - is this what was intended?
    2. The dates in the tables should be wikified, to display according to user preferences. --ALoan (Talk) 16:26, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I had intendend to have one parralel table listing the elections on the left, and one top right table listing the relevent Councils and the other table below it on the right for the changes in Council seats, the code you added fixed over lapping I did not know you could add a table within a table like that. I will wikifi the dates. --Cloveious 23:57, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I appear to have found a rather aggrivating bug possibly in wikipedia or in Firefox or both, The page looks the way i want it to look in firefox until you click a wiki link and then it goes wonky and you have to click the link again. In Internet Explorer its just wonky looking. --Cloveious 00:30, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have filed a bug report here Bug 3555 I will fiddle with the tables to see if I can correct this for now.--Cloveious 00:52, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I have fixed the problem by getting rid of two align=right from each right table and reordering, there should be no more overlapping. --Cloveious 01:06, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It's now royally screwed up in Opera/Classic. The two right-hand tables are simply cut off after about 100 pixels. --Carnildo 05:17, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed it, by increasing the hidden table width. It works now under my copy of Opera, thanks for pointing it out I also tried it under NetPositive and it works their too, hopefully thats the end of table troubles. --Cloveious 05:39, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Oppose 1) The tables look horrible in standard 800x600. You've set the width to 800px, that should be set to less than 600px for it to look neat. 2) The logo is a .gif file. It should be converted to a png. 3) ==...of the Northwest Territories== in the title is redundant. 4) Please don't start a paragraph with a left aligned image. The current maps are badly spaced out in 800x600. 5) Please expand this sentence: ...consensus government using the First Past the Post electoral system ---> Mention briefly, what a consensus govt is, and what the FPtP electoral system is. =Nichalp «Talk»= 09:45, 29 September 2005 (UTC) =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:39, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've had a go at (1) (800 → 600), (3) (deleted surplussage) and (4) (added a gallery instead). -- ALoan (Talk) 23:23, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks ALoan for the changes, I will fix the rest of the objections in a couple hours when I have time. --Cloveious 00:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • I have attempted to correct the other objections. I have added a brief section on consensus government and first past the post, as well as changed the logo to a png. --Cloveious 02:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - looks good! --G Rutter 19:21, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
