BLPs.

Re [3].

Yes, but the {{BLP unsourced}} template is only used on articles where the subject is a living person or very small groups of people such as bands. I've added some references now so the point is irrelevant. Hut 8.5 08:37, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

UK referendum London map.

Re [4]

Hi, that's a bit of unfortunate timing - you added a map for London just as I had added it(!) I've reverted to my version as its SVG format (generally preferred) and identical colouring to the maps for the other regions. The colours could be changed - I've made a comment at Talk:Results of the United Kingdom Alternative Vote referendum, 2011#Missing Details and Maps on that.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:57, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Null votes for WMFB election.

Re: 2011-06 candidates.

[On voting for the board]

Hey there. I hesitated a bit before writing this note because I wouldn't want to give the impression that I'm tooting my own horn, but you obviously spent a great deal of effort and diligence evaluating the candidates for the board and I thought it would be a shame if your vote went to waste despite all the dedication by accident rather than by design.

Are you aware that, by design of the voting system, a vote placing all candidates at the same rank (or ranking no candidate) has no net effect on the tally? I think it's clear that your intent is to register a "no candidate is suitable" vote; but because the way preferential voting systems work you have voted "every candidate is equally suitable" in a way that is guaranteed by design to not affect the result in any way or to even be detectable in the tally.

I don't think that there is a way to register a significant protest vote with this scheme — short of making your views public through other channels — but it's obvious that you feel that the board selection is important enough to care so casting a "null" ballot seems to go counter your intent. Just saying. — Coren ^(talk) 00:58, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

No, he didn't create that page from scratch (unfortunately he's inactive now I think). It used to be a very popular page on Wikipedia, however some unhappy person decided they wanted it deleted because it apparently violates WP:NOT, so several votes were held until they got the result they wanted; at that point Chris Sundita decided to keep it alive in userspace rather than let a bunch of grouches take the fun and usefulness out of Wikipedia. --ಠ_ಠ node.ue ಠ_ಠ (talk) 23:20, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
