A barnstar for you!

	The Minor barnstar
	It's always oddly satisfying to see lists alphabetized. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 08:41, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you I dream of horses. Indeed it is satisfying. As another benefit, this avoids the situation where users engage in trivial edit wars on the ordering.--Venkat TL (talk) 08:46, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The No Spam Barnstar
	For keeping unreliable sources off 2022 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, an article that has been one of the most edited for the past month. Hemantha (talk) 02:59, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Hemantha. This appreciation from editors I respect, means a lot to me. --Venkat TL (talk) 08:58, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Dynasty politics

I don't think adding a section for 'Dynasty politics' is necessary in 2022 Punjab Legislative Assembly election. In every state election, you would find cases where there are more than one candidate from a family (many instances in UP and Goa for this election cycle). I don't feel it adds any value to the article, and looks out of place. What do you think? Dhruv edits (talk) 15:40, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

@Dhruv edits I think we should keep it as it is one of the major poll issues of the BJP. Readers should know it. If media is reporting it and we have the reliable references for the same, it should be kept. I don't believe it is a major poll issue, a minor one but worth mentioning for now as long as Nepotism and Dynasty politics keeps getting raised in the political news. If the section is empty, then it should be removed. This is just my personal opinion and I believe others may disagree. If you feel strongly about a particular page, we should discuss on the talk page of that page, or for general discussion we could use Taskforce talk page. I am guessing that folks would prefer to keep it. Venkat TL (talk) 15:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

My concern is that the section doesn't provide any detail about dynasty rule in politics. All it does is mention a candidate of a Constituency who is related to another politician. I believe it lacks substance, because of which it seems unnecessary and out of place, and also not important enough to have a complete section about it. Sure, I believe it should be discussed at WP:INPOL. Dhruv edits (talk) 16:04, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

@Dhruv edits, Yes, feel free to start a thread there. Misplaced Pages already has Political families of India and Political_family#India moreover the term is a commonly understood term not needing explanation. Links to these articles should suffice. If others feel it should be dropped I will respect the consensus. I dont feel very strongly about it. Venkat TL (talk) 16:08, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Could you add a discussion regarding opinion polls there, so that conflicts and Edit warring can be reduced on UP and Goa pages? Dhruv edits (talk) 16:18, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Dhruv edits You mean start a thread on taskforce page? We can do it after election results are out. Venkat TL (talk) 07:38, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

DYK for 2021 Chandigarh Municipal Corporation election

On 16 February 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2021 Chandigarh Municipal Corporation election, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after Chandigarh fell from being the second-cleanest city in India to the 66th, the residents voted out the incumbent party? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2021 Chandigarh Municipal Corporation election. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 2021 Chandigarh Municipal Corporation election), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
