Map colors

[edit]

Apologies for the late reply. Honestly, the map colors on Wikipedia articles for U.S. elections don't really make much sense. Tell me, is there really any reason why we use two different sets of colors for presidential and down-ballot elections besides tradition? That's kind of why I went with my own color scheme on the Vermont maps. I would be in favor of instituting a standard color for all maps, so maybe we could have an RfC on the matter. But in the meantime, my maps can be changed to have the more standard colors. --MisterElection2001 (talk) 20:38, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MisterElection2001: Ah, thanks for your reply. I made a page on the Wikipedia elections and referendum WikiProject to discuss this and list known in-use colors because I agree that it's kinda absurd - frustrated me a lot when starting to make maps. Not sure if an RFC is necessary - but if it is, I'd be in support of doing that. Elliot321 (talk) 20:53, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Map color for Special Georgia senate race

[edit]

Hey Elliot321! I was wondering if there was a way to change the colors for Loeffler and Collins since the light red and light pink can often be hard to differentiate especially for people who might have a hard time recognizing certain colors. Perhaps Loeffler can be a darker red (seeing she was the republican who advanced to the runoff) and Collins orange? --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 12:36, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@TDKR Chicago 101: sure. I think keeping the original red for Loeffler makes sense - that's what I've seen some other maps do - but I didn't know of another color scheme. I have the ones I know of listed at w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Elections and Referendums/USA Legend Colors. If you could help me out by creating one that supports all support levels from 20-30% to >90% I would appreciate that incredibly (I'm somewhat bad at doing them).

It's not a valid permission. The author imposed some restrictions on material in Japanese, which make the image unacceptable on Commons. See this talk page. --Larryasou (talk) 05:38, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Larryasou: I can't read Japanese, and a rough translation implies the restriction is "It can be used for commercial purposes such as websites and printed materials. However, it cannot be used mainly for images." I don't know what this is referring to. This seems kinda iffy to me but I don't understand what restrictions they're intending to imply.

Elections WikiProject

[edit]

Hi Elli,

Though I am not sure, you seem to be the person to contact on this. I am concerned about your new Elections WikiProject.

Although I appreciate the attempts to standardize maps, data, and titles, I am concerned that your project includes only a handfull of editors when there are likely 100s of wikipedians interested in setting these standards. Unless I am missing something, I believe your project does not have enough members to set broad standards for all US elections.

In particular, I am concerned about wikipedians changing shapes and colors for elections and referenda. I would like to pump the breaks on these changes until a large number of stakeholders are involved in the process. There are thousands of election maps on the commons, and changing the standards for all of them would be a massive task. Some of these changes (like better colors for colorblind individuals) are good moves, but I believe some (like new map shapes) are unnecessary and create massive amounts of work for little benefit.

I'd love to hear from you about this. Best,

SpeedMcCool (talk) 15:59, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SpeedMcCool: sure, it's an ambitious effort for sure and I recognize that it will be a lot of work.
I've been long-frustrated with the inconsistency around various election maps, colors, shapes, etc. The problem is that there isn't really an objective way to do things, only what we've done and established, and this is messy as this is a wiki without, until I started attempting to organize this, any centralized place for the information.
As for getting more editors involved - that is definitely a thing I'd like to do - though given the nature of Commons and how things tend to not really get done around here, I figured going ahead and doing some stuff would be a good idea.
More particularly, as for changing colors... with the exception of color-blind-friendly maps, the only colors I've been changing have been for niche parties that have only participated in a handful of elections. Minnesota was perhaps a bad state to pick due to the prominence of the Farmer-Labor party, but there's no plan or intent to change Dem/Rep/Ind colors (it's been discussed but that truly would be an absurd amount of work for little benefit).
Shapes? Updating shapes on existing maps isn't really necessary in most cases, tbh, and I was mainly doing that out of boredom and to get a feel for what they look like. But I do think going forward we should standardize on a new set of shapes - they're just more attractive, accurate, etc (the goal was to make Virginia independent cities distinguishable, as well as not having a practically-triangle Anoka).
As to your comment about standards, there don't really seem to be standards on a lot of this stuff? Like, there's no "use these shapes for elections" - there are just shapes that happen to have been used for a lot of elections. I, of course, think we should get as much input on these as possible, but at some point we do just need to set the standards, and I figured no one was doing that - or interested in doing that, since they hadn't.
Anyway, I hope this alleviates some of your concerns. I can talk about the objective reasons behind the new shapes if you'd like - but that didn't really seem to be what your comment was about, moreso the process. Sorry if my comment was a bit of a ramble, I'm not the best at communicating, but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here - tl;dr, these standards didn't exist and weren't documented before, so we're trying to set them to something objective and reasonable. Feel free to ask if you have more questions/concerns. Elli (talk) 19:22, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply, it helps understand where you are coming from.
The thing I am most concerned about is the shape updates. While I understand the desire for new shapes (especially in cases like Virginia) I feel that these decisions could be made on a state-by-state basis. For example, the maps used for Minnesota (with the exception of the one you attached) are all fine as is in my opinion.
Especially consider a situation like the 1860 presidential map in MN which predates many counties and their present boundaries. The maps suggested as the standards work well for the states today, but do not work as one goes back in time.
To be truly standardized, a project like this would also require updating all the national maps, which is another added undertaking.
(As an aside, if you are set on using the maps here, I would suggest thickening the borders on the counties, which would make them more visually appealing, I think.)
I am open to changing colors for third parties (especially prohibition, which I feel is too similar to republican red.) I have been calling for a central repository for political map colors for some time now, so I appreciate the work that has gone into this.
I hope we can come to a conclusion on this. I do not want to stop the good work of a WikiProject, but I do hope to engage more people in this endeavor and make this a state-by-state effort rather than a national one. SpeedMcCool (talk) 15:23, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, just remembered something I wanted to add: another question on standardization is keys. Some maps use keys in the image, other put their keys in the description or the infobox. I feel standardizing something like this would be a more valuable time investment than shapes, but that is my opinion. SpeedMcCool (talk) 15:25, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SpeedMcCool: thanks for your comments and I totally understand your concerns.
As for updating the state shapes, the goal was to have a consistent national style. While we considered various border thicknesses, the relative thinness was as I mentioned above mainly to preserve the shape of Virginia's cities, though I do understand the argument that that might not be a worthwhile tradeoff.
Anyway, it will certainly be a lot of work to update historical maps - but it's something I and some others are willing to do. I'd love to engage more people here, of course, this wasn't meant to be exclusive or exclusionary in the slightest.
About your concerns about historical maps: I've considered this too. Fortunately the amount that exist is relatively minor compared to ones with recent borders, but I've found access to shapefiles for historical county borders, so standardized historical maps could also be created in the same style.
About the legends: I generally think they should be in the file description and article instead of being in the image itself - having the keys in the image itself is less accessible, harder to maintain, and often prevents multilingual use.
Anyway, thanks again for your comments and please let me know if you have anymore questions or concerns. I appreciate the significant effort you've put into making maps so far and I'd love to have you on-board here. Elli (talk) 15:31, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

About your edit on File:2021 United States gubernatorial elections and recall.svg

[edit]

Hello, I realised that the map has been edited to show that Newsom is eligible. Actually that is not true as mentioned here [1] at Question 4. Newsom is ineligible to run to replace himself should he be recalled. Therefore can you please revert your last edit. Thank you. Regards. CX Zoom (talk) 09:46, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@CX Zoom: should the recall option win, Newsom would be ineligible in that election. However, he is still running, as in he is running against that option, and therefore still eligible. Since Newsom could win the election and remain in office, coloring him with the "outgoing" color is nonsense. Elli (talk) 16:28, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Elli: Then I think we can use some other shade of blue with the caption "Incumbent Democrat facing a Recall". I think that would be the best way to do it. What do you say? Regards. CX Zoom (talk) 17:29, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is the best description for his race I've read on Wikipedia, maybe we can incorporate this into the map "Running against recall, Ineligible for replacement ballot". CX Zoom (talk) 17:38, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@CX Zoom: I think the light-blue and star are sufficient for that purpose - the star indicates a recall. Elli (talk) 18:38, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Elli: Alright, but I'm not really convinced, mostly because Recall Elections are rare and therefore people may not be much familiar with the star being used to denote Recall Election. Moreover the captions in the Wikipedia articles, where such map is used should be updated. Thank you. Regards. CX Zoom (talk) 19:04, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not edit war

[edit]

Deutsch ∙ English ∙ français ∙ italiano ∙ magyar ∙ português ∙ sicilianu ∙ русский ∙ 日本語 ∙ +/−

You currently appear to be participating in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, and once it is known that there is a disagreement should discuss the issues on the relevant talk page rather than repeatedly undoing other users’ contributions. If necessary you can ask for more input at Commons:Dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to ask for temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing – even if you are right about the content issue.

--AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:25, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AntiCompositeNumber: gotcha. This user has repeatedly refused to engage in any serious amount of discussion. They've also had collaboration issues elsewhere, and with others, see: the ANU thread (I think it's been archived at this point), and their indefinite block on enwiki.
