Talk Elections

Cuz we need one :P

Good job ! :)

BTW, can a citizen nominate articles ?

I suppose we may consider your puny mortal opinions :P

Well, there is one I've worked hard on it and which is IMO very nive to look at. It's the Senate History (https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Senate_History) one. I'd apreciate you to consider it for nomination. :)

Why, you little attention who...

This is actually one of those articles wiki can be proud of. I recommend Senate History to become first article of the month?

Any other proposals?

It was already on my short list... :)

I'm in, and I approve of the Senate History article being honoured as our first article of the month.

Sorry for doing Chairman job, since no one else would...

Any other proposals, dear members?

Could we perhaps recommend that someone add a colour code to the Senate History article? I'm intrigued by what party Al's yellow term was for, for example.

Farmer-Labor Party.

But you are 100% right indeed. I will work on a color key as soon as possible. ;)

In the mean time, if you click the Senate # it should give you all the details.

I would be fine with the Senate History article as our first choice. I suppose this would be April's pick, then?

OK, once again I do chairman job here (unless you select me as Chairman :P) and...

Dear members, are you for selection of the Senate History to be Article of the Month?

(Aye)

Sure, I vote for the Senate History page to be April's Article of the Month.

What is this talk about Chairman, anyway? I don't recall ever specifying a Chairman, or requiring us to do so. I don't really mind if you serve as Chairman if you want to, but it might not be necessary when there are only three of us.

Ok, let then say we're sitting, buzzing with suggestions, until we all agree in a nice, unofficial fashion :)

Wow. That page is still being updated, after I made it more than 5 years ago.

BTW, the yellow for Al was the Farmer Labor Party.

Is it a time to think about May article?

Any ideas? ;D

I think it might be fun to pick a person or party. What about the National Liberal Coalition (https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/National_Liberal_Coalition)?

I propose https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Election_Administrator_Guidebook

Feel free to honor your current President by using his page. :P

Isaac, please don't drink again :P

I support Kalwejt's proposal above.

Boringgg!! But apparently I'm outvoted... :P

The RPP page is way out of date. Why edit a dead party's page?

???

In reference this this:

Considering the RPP is still active, wouldn't it make more sense for one of its own members to update its page?

If you pick Kalwejt, that would be right choice. He's the best.

What about an election ? I quite like this one (https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/December_2010_Senate_Election) with all those beautiful charts... :P

It's already on the main page. :P

Any ideas for June? I would still like to pick a party or an election. Perhaps we could commeorate the two year anniversary of the June 2009 Presidential Election (https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/June_2009_Presidential_Election) by selecting it. :)

Interesting proposal. I hope right won't protest ;)

Well, June 09 won by default.

Any ideas for July? :)

Due to my incoming retirement from Atlasia politics, I resign from my seat in Wiki Commission as well.

Were you a Senate appointee?

Yes (I was a citizen member) while you are a Senate member. We were both elected by the Senate.

Belgian is a presidential appointe (I named him while Acting President).

If no one else is interested, I'd like to be the Senate's new appointee to the commission. :)

Alright, I've actually made a thread about it in the main Atlasia forum. I think you would be a good candidate, though. ;)

So, Belgian, any ideas for July? I'm thinking about trying the NLC's page again. ;)

Just in case no-one's noticed, belgiansocialist has also apparently announced his resignation.

I'm here and ready! :)

I'm here too ! :)

So, time to think about the August article ?

If I can make a proposal, what about Kalwejt (http://ttp://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Kalwejt)'s article ? It's pretty long and detailed. ;)

I think it would be good to do a person, since we haven't done one yet. I would personally lean towards an ex-member first, but I wouldn't mind doing a current member.

I also am in favor of choosing a person. My top choice would be myself (:P), but taking that off the table, I would also agree with bgwah it should probably be someone who has been around for ages.

*Does some searching*

Some Suggestions:
Jas
Speed of Sound
ColinW

I checked, and all three have pretty substantial Wiki pages.

I'd gladly go with ColinW's. It's amazingly long and detailed.

Alright, I'm fine with ColinW.

Do we need a vote on it or can we just, like, declare it official?

Nah it's fine. :P

Let's start thinking about September.

What if we chose a bill this time ? I think the https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Atlasian_National_Healthcare_Act could be a fine idea.

Are there anymore interesting laws? :D

This is a fun page: https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/November_2008_Special_Senate_Election

I personally think doing a law would be interesting, but to the average Atlasian, it wouldn't be. I can't see very many people actually taking the time to read it.

So basically, what bgwah said. :P

If we were to pick legislation, I think something like the Proportional Representation Act might be more interesting, since it more directly effects the actual game. But we already picked the Election Administrator's Guidebook, which is sorta similar, so meh.

I don't know, perhaps either the "Supreme Court Bar Act"? I'd be fine with the one you suggested, too. We could always do my motorcycle safety act (there's such a sad meaning behind that).

The Nov 2008 Special Election is fine too, and since it's not very known today it might be interesting.

Okay, let's do a quick vote to settle this:

[  ] Atlasian National Healthcare Act
[  ] November 2008 Special Election




I vote:

[  ] Atlasian National Healthcare Act
[X] November 2008 Special Election

Atlasian National Healthcare Act

...but I'm fine either way.

Uh-oh, I'm the tiebreaker? Well, at least we'll finish this vote faster than the Senate has passed one in a looong time. :P

[  ] Atlasian National Healthcare Act
[ x ] November 2008 Special Election

I guess we could do the healthcare one now, since apparently there's a crisis about it!!1111

That's fine with me. :)

Sure.

I'm stepping down from the Wiki Commission. Thank you to President Polnut for giving me the opportunity to serve here. You all were great.

Why, Tmth ? :(

I'm done with Atlasia. It's simply not worth it any longer.

As a side note, if you need someone to replace Tmth, let me know :)

Quick, we have a day to pick November! :D

A classical one ?

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Jesus_Christ_Party ;)

Or something more "institutional" ?

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Statute :P

Both are long and interesting pages.

I dunno, those already have front page links probably. Hmm...

It's hard to find nice and detailed articles which don't have front page links. :P

Oops we forgot about this!!!

Let's just say "statue" was November's page, then... :P

What would you guys think of this for December?

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/FEC

Well, that made me learn something. ;)

I'll take that as a yes!!! :)

You can take it as such. ;)

BTW, do we even have a replacement for Tmth ? I remember he left but not if someone was nominated to fill his office.

The party affiliations need to be updated in the wiki, as well as new color codes. 

I've already created the new party color templates, you'll find them at :
Template:Atlasian Political Party/party colors/Liberal
Template:Atlasian Political Party/party colors/Labor
Template:Atlasian Political Party/party colors/Whig
Template:Atlasian Political Party/party colors/PLP
Template:Atlasian Political Party/party colors/Moderate

Political party list (https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Political_Parties) has also been updated, as well as the Senate history (https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Senate_History) page.

Thank you :)

Replace Tender Brandon with Polnut wtf...good work though.
