EP election map

On File:1979 European Parliament election, political grouping breakdown by countries.svg and File:1984 European Parliament election, political grouping breakdown by countries.svg the results from Denmark are inaccurate as they do not include the seat elected in Greenland. The table on the Wikipedia article was also inaccurate. In both 1979 and 1984, the Socialist Group should have 4 seats in Denmark. Gust Justice (talk) 18:21, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I’ll fix the maps tomorrow morning as I just left my laptop. And thanks for fixing the tables in the articles沁水湾 (talk) 22:49, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

2024 Tees Valley mayoral election

Regarding File:2024 Tees Valley Mayoral election.svg, there are some typos in the image. "Stockton-on-Tee" should be "Stockton-on-Tees", "Darllington" is "Darlington", and "Hartleypool" is "Hartlepool". Can you correct these please? ISD (talk) 14:10, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

My bad... Right away 沁水湾 (talk) 15:02, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

UK House of Commons 2023 map

Your map File:UK House of Commons constituencies 2023, labeled.svg is really gorgeous work! Just wanted to let you know that the Scottish Central Belt inset seems to have some constituencies that are missing outlines (Edinburgh West and Cowdenbeath & Kirkcaldy)--this seems to have popped up in the last edit. Thanks again for your work on these great maps! Torrid1268 (talk) 01:03, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Seems like something went awry during export. Thanks for pointing that out. 沁水湾 (talk) 15:54, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

2019 UK general election, countries and regions map

Hi, firstly wanted to say that I really like your county maps and think it's a brilliant idea. But, shouldn't the colour for Yorkshire and Humber on the 2019 general election map be a light red as labour held more seats there than the conservatives (28 compared to 26)? TestIt297 (talk) 19:33, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. The Tories won more votes than the Tories in Y&H region in 2019, even if Labour won more seats. 沁水湾 (talk) 03:42, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Ah ok didn't realise that's how you were doing it. Sorry and thank you TestIt297 (talk) 09:30, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Do you think my current map can be misleading? If so in what way do you think I can alleviate that? 沁水湾 (talk) 17:34, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

2024 Catalan regional parliamentary election map (error)

Hi, thank you for your contributions to this map. It has an error though: in the province of Lleida AC is incorrectly shown has having 2 seats (it only has one). This is correctly depicted in the graphic itself, but not the number. Could you fix it, please? Thank you! Impru20 (talk) 14:00, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Separate UK parliamentary Constituency Maps

Hello @沁水湾. I was wondering if you could using the exact same information existing map I have provided you of the whole of the UK make four separate Parliamentary constituency maps of the exact same format create four separate blank maps for England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales please and also for each of the nine regions of England. The data you need is all there we just need the separate maps making and thank you in time for the 2024 United Kingdom general election. (MOTORAL1987 (talk) 16:52, 28 May 2024 (UTC))

Absolutely.

Would you mind if you wait for a couple of days? Have some real-world business I must attend to for the these few weeks but I’ll be back.

I spottested some mistakes in that old map: a few constituencies were labeled using preliminary not finalized names. I’ll rectify them first and it’s going to take some time (not long, maybe a day or so). 沁水湾 (talk) 17:28, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

That’s no problem at all, as long as it’s on your to do list then it can wait a few days and thank you it’s just we have articles for the election separately for each of the nations and regions of the UK as well as a National article for the whole of the UK. (MOTORAL1987 (talk) 17:31, 28 May 2024 (UTC))

P.S I assume you are aware but in case you haven’t the general election in the U.K. has been called for 4 July 2024. It would be good to have blank maps for each of the UK regions. Also I wondered and there is no rush on this one if you could create a map of the Brexit referendum results from 2016 which I know you have already have done by parliamentary constituency area but could you create one which shows the results by the 382 counting areas. (MOTORAL1987 (talk) 08:16, 29 May 2024 (UTC))

I already have a blank map.

Here, do whatever you want with it: File:2024 United Kingdom general election - Result.svg.

I was going to upload it under the name File:2024UKElectionMap.svg to keep it consistent and harmonious with the previous set of files with the same general layout, but someone beat me to it unfortunately. 沁水湾 (talk) 11:06, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

I know you already have a blank map of the whole of the UK but we just also need separate blank maps of the Nations and Regions of the UK and thank you but I can’t do anything with a blank file. That was all I was saying and no offence was ment I wasn’t having a go with you at all. (MOTORAL1987 (talk) 13:58, 29 May 2024 (UTC))

What software did you use to make File:2022 Alaska United States Senate election preference flow.svg?

Hi, I'm wondering what software you used to make this Sankey/alluvial diagram. I'm thinking of putting Sankey diagrams of the most recent election on the Australian House of Representative seat pages. MarkiPoli (talk) 11:03, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

File:ROC_2000_Presidential_Election_Township_level.svg

It seems that Shengang Township and Shigang Township in Taichung County are in the opposite colors. blue and green are reversed. Minchuchui (talk) 01:12, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

I would be grateful if you could correct this. Minchuchui (talk) 01:13, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot to mention that Taichung's township is now a district.

en:Shengang District, en:Shigang District Minchuchui (talk) 01:16, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. My apologies as I'm a bit occupied in the past few days. I'll take a look at them and fix them soon 沁水湾 (talk) 17:59, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Done. I also changed the color of borders to a brighter shade of light grey. Do you think it's better? 沁水湾 (talk) 16:38, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes! The boundary that was hard to see is now clear.

Thank you for your work! Minchuchui (talk) 07:34, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Fabulous. I’ll change all the maps when I have the time 沁水湾 (talk) 18:45, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

2024 United Kingdom general election map

Hi there! I'm just getting touch to first thank you for constantly updating the map of declared constituencies for the 2024 United Kingdom general election. I was wondering if you could please read our talk page discussion in which I proposed that, because Reform UK and the Conservatives have such similar colours (and distinguishing them on a small infobox map is very difficult), we use #9CF2FF instead of #12B6CF for Reform on the map. Many of us have a consensus on this. If you look at this survation map, you can see how difficult it is to differentiate. https://www.survation.com/survation-mrp-update-labour-set-to-become-the-largest-party-in-scotland/ Dhantegge (talk) 03:23, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll change it in the next update. 沁水湾 (talk) 03:57, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the map in 2024 United Kingdom general election. You're probably aware that a recount is taking place today in the Inverness, Skye and Wester Ross constituency. It is expected to go to the Liberal Democrats, with the SNP having conceded defeat already, but that is not a certainty, at least not legally, so thank you for keeping that constituency coloured in black (as uncertain) for the time being.

2023 Notional Boundaries

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2019UKElectionNominalMap.svg

The notional boundaries are incorrect as they use Electoral Calculus as a source. The notional boundaries from Rallings and Thrasher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Periodic_Review_of_Westminster_constituencies#Notional_2019_general_election_results are used across Wikipedia and the BBC. The map has slight inaccuracies in seats like Warrington South (Labour), Wirral West (Labour), and others. I couldn't count them all but the BBC and other sources have the original Rallings and Thrasher numbers. (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2024/jul/03/what-constituency-am-i-in-boundary-changes-map-uk-general-election-2024-votes-postcode) 50.53.1.241 05:12, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Beckenham and Penge should be Labour + the image description should be changed to Rallings and Thrasher. 50.53.1.241 02:36, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

2024 UK election in Scotland map

Hi there, just wanted to thank you for your work on producing the map. I see you’ve coloured in Lothian East as being an SNP seat when in fact it was gained by Labour with 49.2% of the vote. Would you be able to update this so the correct result is represented by the map? GamerPerson12345678 (talk) 10:57, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Oh no… don’t know how I messed that up 沁水湾 (talk) 11:43, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

2024 Tokyo gubernatorial election

Good day! I've noticed that you've been making the maps for the previous Tokyo gubernatorial election results, including 2016 and 2020. I was wondering if you are able to make the map for this year as well, now that all the votes have been counted and there is information for the results for each municipalities in the wiki page. Thanks! 175.176.91.197 07:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

I’m making it as of now. 沁水湾 (talk) 14:25, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

File:2004 Legislative Yuan election.svg

The map shows Taoyuan County has 11 seats, but it actually has 13 seats. I'd be very grateful if you could correct this! Minchuchui (talk) 17:17, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm deeply sorry on not seeing your message until now. I was on a bit of hiatus preoccupied with other concerns. I'll fix it asap. 沁水湾 (talk) 17:16, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Japan House of Councillors Maps

If possible, could you create maps on their elections, as the election pages don't seem to have them. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 12:40, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Please reply back. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 17:27, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Please forgive me for not seeing your message until now. I was a bit preoccupied. I've already made maps for some recent ones and will create more when I get my hand on the relevant data. 沁水湾 (talk) 17:19, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

1994 South African Election (200 Regional Seats Discovered)

Good evening. I wanted to let you know that I recently discovered the "missing 200 regional seats" in the South African General Election of 1994. Very little information exists anywhere online regarding these results, so I wanted to be the first to let you know, in order that you may complete your 1994 South African election map. In my opinion, you make some of the best detailed and visually pleasing election maps on Wikipedia, and so I wanted to give you this ever elusive information which remained hidden for so long from us, those who study South Africa and want to inform others about its magnificent history.

Without further ado, here is the final determination of seats in the South African National Assembly as a result of the 1994 general election, as per the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC)'s certification report:

Please allow me to offer my apology in not replying to your message in time. It's fabulous to learn that these information exists out there. And forgive my bluntness (and laziness lol), how did you dig this up and do you know where I can come by this source online?

And thanks for your appreciation of my work! 沁水湾 (talk) 17:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Pre-1998 House of Councillor election results

Hello! Thank you so much for all your awesome Japan and South Korean maps. Over the past year I've collected a huge amount of detailed results and plan on mapping them + creating the wiki pages over the coming months. If possible could you share your color ramps, or the hex values?

For the HoC results, the big one you'll want to use is the Sangiin giin Tsūjōsenkyo Dе̄tabе̄su (参議院議員通常選挙データベース) made by the Kansai University Natori Lab. It has municipality level results for a lot of races for the years 1968-2013, give or take. To register you'll need to use half-width characters only. For your nationwide maps it should have enough data.

There are these 参議院議員通常選挙結果調 digitized by the NDL, but I've taken a look thru some of the non-HoC ones and they only contain very detailed turnout data and none of the actual results, so I'm doubtful this will have the results. Plus you gotta live in Japan to access them. I'm in the process of gathering old newspaper articles that contain prefecture and municipality level results, so I'll let you know when I obtain them. Average Pennsylvanian (talk) 02:35, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you immensely! I'll be looking into them when I get the time 沁水湾 (talk) 17:44, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Pre-1997 South Korean presidential election results (and others)

Hi again! Did some research for this as well and here's how to find detailed voting data:

1. Go to the National Election Commission website
2. On the top of the page you'll notice there's two buttons side by side saying "최근선거" and "역대선거". Click on "역대선거"
3. You'll see there's a brown bar with 5 links. Click on "투·개표" which is 2nd from right
4. There'll be 7 links that appear just below the brown bar. From left to right they are: early voting rate trends (사전투표율 변동추이), early vote data (사전투표현황), voter turnout rate trends (투표율 변동추이), voter turnout data (투표현황), election results data (개표현황), election results by eup/myeong/dong (개표현황(읍면동별)), and election results by voting district (개표현황(투표구별))
5. Note of above: The results by eup/myeong/dong have only recent elections, earliest presidential is 2007. Results by voting district go back further to 1987 presidential
6. For municipalities data, click on the 3rd from right (개표현황)
7. On the table, on the "선거유형" row, from left to right: presidential (대통령선거), National Assembly (국회의원선거), local elections (지방선거), and by-elections (재·보궐선거). So in this case, click on "대통령선거"
8. Select the presidential election you want to look at (for 1997 and earlier would be the 15th and below)
9. For the "선거" popup, click on the "대통령선거" option
10. For the "시도" popup, you'll have the option of selecting any of the South Korean provinces. Once you've made your decision click the search button popup
11. You'll see municipality data on the gu/gun/si level, for candidate totals and percentages (후보자별 득표수), all candidates total (계) registered voters (선거인수), abstentions (기권수), invalid (무효투표수), and valid votes (투표수). On the very right on top of the table there are PDF and Excel download options
12. You can use this same method for the voter turnout data (투표현황). Unfortunately no detailed data for all the constitutional referendums...

Hope this helps :) Average Pennsylvanian (talk) 03:11, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
