Missing wards
[edit]2011 Cheshire East Council election has only about 4 1/2 wards listed, of many. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 21:02, 17 October 2025 (UTC).

Our Campaigns
[edit]I know OurCampaigns.com is considered a generally unreliable source per WP:RSPSS but I was hoping contributors to this WikiProject might have some insight about what's going on there. For a while, it's had this message on the homepage: "Due to the ongoing and constant DDoS attack on the site, sub-pages may only be viewed by people with valid login accounts." First of all, who is DDoSing them and why? Secondly, how does one create a valid login account if one needs to access a subpage to create a user account? I can't see that there's any way to contact anyone associated with the site; they don't have an email address or anything listed on the homepage or any social media presence. I just want to be able to access this truly singular resource. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 17:46, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
Just a quick note that this article is currently up for peer review here if anyone is interested. Thank you! Will there ever be a rainbow? (talk) 13:31, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
Order of U.S. presidential election results in tables in articles
[edit]There is a user going through a lot of articles putting presidential election results in reverse chronological order, seemingly against our guidelines MOS:CHRONO and WP:SALORDER, with edit summary rationales like "The presidential tables were like this and need to be like this". This user also has not shown any interest in communicating on their talk page about it. Am I missing something? I need to know whether there is another guideline I'm unaware of that applies before seeking a dispute resolution method. Stefen š¯•‹ower's got the power!!1!

- Without a consensus for such changes. The editor needs to stop & all his edits need to be reverted. GoodDay (talk) 03:37, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
- That is what I thought but they seem to just want to revert back and not discuss it. I figured if I reverted all of the edits, they seem to have the stance to continue reverting me. I don't want an edit war. Is addressing this at WP:ANI going too far or does trying WP:DRN make sense? Or maybe if at least a couple others commented on their talk page to reinforce that the user needs to follow the guideline? Stefen š¯•‹ower's got the power!!1! Gab ā€¢ Gruntwerk 04:22, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
- WP:ANI would seem to be the place. GoodDay (talk) 04:33, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
- OK. I'll give them until tomorrow in hopes they see the light. Stefen š¯•‹ower's got the power!!1! Gab ā€¢ Gruntwerk 04:47, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

- I don't think you're missing anything per se, though to be honest I didn't realize that they had been switched away from reverse chronological order, they had been that way for a while. seems like this editor is doing some form of status quo stonewalling.

Inaccurate Congressional District Results for statewide 2025 elections
[edit]I have been looking at the 2025 statewide results by congressional district and all the numbers seem off. These numbers are being gathered through Votehub but they don't seem correct. For example, Votehub reports that NJ-7 went to Jack Ciaterelli by 5 points, when Trump only won it by 3. Abigail Spanberger did about 8 points better than Trump and every single country shifted more towards her, including some big shifts in the area of that congressional district., so this doesn't make sense There are plenty of other examples all across Votehub's data like Abigail Spanberger's perfomance in VA-7, and Sherill's in some other congressional districts that just feel off. If there are any other websites backing up Votehub's data I think that would be valuable, but a lot of the information just seems off, and not accurate given the scale of Spanberger's and Sherill's wins.
