RfC: Order of constituency and regional vote tables in Scottish election polling
editHello all. I am seeking a wider consensus at Talk:Opinion polling for the next Scottish Parliament election regarding the order in which polling for the constituency vote and regional vote are displayed. JackWilfred (talk) 11:06, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

- I'd say this has merit, and we should be more flexible in naming referendum articles, as most of these only happen once. Howard the Duck (talk) 20:33, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Specific trivia format in U.S. presidential election articles
editI noticed that a lot of presidential election articles for U.S. states contain trivia of the form "This candidate was the first Democrat/Republican to win the presidency without X County since year YYYY." Examples: last paragraph of the lead of 2020 United States presidential election in Ohio, last paragraph of 2016 United States presidential election in California#Analysis. As far as I can tell, trivia of this form is very rarely noted outside Wikipedia, unlike similar forms of trivia such as "This candidate broke the streak of X County voting only for one party.". Should trivia items of this form be removed if not supported by a reliable secondary source, even if the trivia is verifiable? Helpful Raccoon (talk) 01:22, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- I see no reason why it should be removed, particularly if the information is verifiable. — Watercheetah99 (talk) 14:41, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- Because it is about as useless as other kinds of trivia that are frequently removed from U.S. presidential election articles, see here and here for examples. At the very least, it should not be in the article lead. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 19:03, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
