Hello, I recently proposed small updates on the talk pages for [[Talk:Jim DeMint|Jim DeMint]] and [[Talk:James Carafano|James Carafano]] and am looking for an editor to help review and make these changes. DeMint is the president and Carafano is a director of the Center for Foreign Policy Studies at [[The Heritage Foundation]], where I am an employee so I'd like to have an editor look at my updates rather than make them directly, due to the potential COI. It doesn't look like an editor has yet had time to review my proposed updates, so I was hoping someone here would be willing to take a look and, if the changes seem appropriate, add them to the articles. Thanks![[User:Thurmant|Thurmant]] ([[User talk:Thurmant|talk]]) 20:51, 3 May 2013 (UTC) |

New article Lunch pail Democrat (USA) - push for DYK?
After hearing the term during the MSNBC analysis of the Biden-Ryan US vice-presidential debate, I whipped up a quick Lunch pail Democrat article. The term refers to working-class members of the Democratic Party, and politicians that court them. I reckon it'd be good to strike while the iron is hot, and put this up for WP:Did you know? on Monday or so; I posted it today and there's a 5-day limit for DYK, as well as other items to meet on the checklist.
If anyone is interested in helping out, this could be a really topical DYK given the usage in front of so many MSNBC viewers last night. Happy to share the banners and wiki-love for any other substantial contributors if this hits DYK and gets enough views to be awarded.
Thanks for any help or suggestions! MatthewVanitas (talk)
Hi, folks! I found that temer in several articles but there's no description of the concept anywhere. Can you create that article? Thanks! --NaBUru38 (talk) 14:44, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

New 'Women in the Arab Spring' article
I'm planning on writing a new 'Women in the Arab Spring' article as part of my Poverty, Gender and Human Development course at Rice University. I will add the page to this WikiProject because the Arab Spring represents a major change in the politics of the Arab world. The topic of women in the Arab Spring is not currently discussed in the Arab Spring article or anywhere else on Wikipedia. I plan to cover the role of women before, during, and after the Arab Spring with my article (see the Arab Spring talk page for details) and would greatly appreciate any feedback on my plans. Thanks!

Someone wants to "merge" the U.S. single payer health care bill away
Talk:United States National Health Care Act#Revisiting merge. Love it or hate it, it has 100,000s of Google hits, 100s of news articles, and it's mentioned in several templates. The same editor who wants to redirect it has removed detailed polling data about the bill. 71.212.232.68 (talk) 22:51, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

State power
Term "a body of state power" is widely used in the articles relating to the executive and other bodies of Russia, Ukraine, Serbia, etc., but I could not find it in the articles relating to US or Great Britain. I guess the readers may not understand, what this term mean. Or there may be other term. May we create an article, explaining what it mean, and link such article with the corresponding articles in other languages? In the countries, where English is not a native language, the articles in different languages (e. g. English - Russian) are usually used to check the correspondence of terms and their usage. The terms of this group are very important to avoid misunderstanding in international contracts, for instance. That is why I offer to create such article in English and link it with the corresponding existing article in Russian, and I need help with it and will be thankful for any assistance, -- Zara-arush (talk) 11:48, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Help with Malaysian Palm Oil Board article
Hello. I am looking for editors to review a draft I have prepared for the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) article. The MPOB is a well established government agency in Malaysia responsible for overseeing the palm oil industry, however the current article is very short and unsupported. I have prepared this draft on behalf of the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) which is a related organization, so I don't think it is appropriate for me to make the edits myself. I left a request on the article's talk page that provides a little more information, and the draft is here:MPOB draft
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks in advance. YellowOwl (talk) 22:53, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- This request has been completed: an editor was able to review my draft. YellowOwl (talk) 15:25, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

National assembly names
I came across this whilst doing something else, and figured that it needed an airing here. It seems that User:Gryffindor went on a spree of renaming National Assembly articles last September, without any apparent consensus that such major change should happen. At least, I've had a look around and not found any discussion. It looks like (s)he started off with some legitimate renames and then decided that the remaining articles would be brought into the same format regardless of local considerations. For instance I came across National Assembly of Vietnam, which was moved to National Assembly (Vietnam). In the English version of its website the official name seems to be National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, but Vietnam is the WP:COMMONNAME of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and indeed National Assembly of Vietnam is used at various places on their website (eg here). It's no bad thing to standardise names even if they don't quite fit the letter of the official name, but it should probably be done after a consensus has been achieved. AFAICT that discussion has not been had, so I open the debate to the floor.... Le Deluge (talk) 20:46, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
WikiProject Biography/Politics and government
Shouldn't WP:WikiProject Biography/Politics and government be flagged onto the {{WPPOLITICS}} banner as it is with {{WPBIO}} ? Like how {{WPBIO|politician-work-group=yes}}
then the banner could use {{WPPOLITICS}} , seeing as how political parties are already signed it, it would make sense for politicians to also be signed on to the banner. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 02:43, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
Ernesto Perez Balladares
I'm working to bring the article on Panamanian president Ernesto Perez Balladares up to GA status. Unfortunately, most English-language sources I've found focus only on his presidency; I've had difficulty finding other biographical facts like the date of his marriage, whether he has any children, or his post-presidency career, in my clumsy Google Translate searches of Panamanian newspapers. Are there any Spanish speakers here who would be willing to lend a few minutes to help round out these aspects of the article? I'd be glad to split the GA credit with you, of course. You can see the GA review here.
Thanks to all, -- Khazar2 (talk) 02:13, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
Administrations or governments of Trinidad and Tobago?
Could someone interested and/or qualified please review the List of Trinbago Administrations article and the articles linked from it? Should the titles read "administrations" or "governments" with Trinidad and Tobago having a (semi-)parliamentary system. Please discuss at Talk:List of Trinbago Administrations. — AjaxSmack 00:40, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Suggestions for Pete Snyder
Pete Snyder is a candidate for lieutenant governor of the U.S. state of Virginia, and I have some involvement with him; I am his former employee and current campaign contributor. I'd like to help improve the page, but I want to be very careful about my COI and I do not wish to edit directly. Would someone here be willing to help? I've just posted a request on the article's Talk page a moment ago. I have more suggestions as well, although the fact that his candidacy is mentioned only in the intro and not in the body of the article is most pressing. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 21:50, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Health
the content and naming of health department and list of health ministries is being discussed. See the discussions at talk:health department -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 03:20, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
County government
Greetings folks, I am having a disagreement with User:Orlady, and in response, he or she has begun posting the issue to all 50 states. I am willing to have a discussion or two, but not 50!
My claim is that although county officials may be elected or appointed locally (i.e. not statewide), the actual county government itself is an arm of the state government. This is consistent with the powers they exercise (elections, law enforcement, etc.). If we could have some academically informed input, I would appreciate it, because the general impression and intuition that people have is that county government is "local government," but to those who actually study political science formally, the difference is known. The compromise that I propose is the persons should be categorized under "local politicians" while the offices should be categorized under "state government."Greg Bard (talk) 01:11, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
- Gregbard, you started the discussion of this topic on my talk page, at User_talk:Orlady#County_government and quite a lot of discussion has already occurred there. I posted on several pages to alert other users to the ongoing discussion, as it's not something that interested users were likely to notice; I did not attempt to start new discussions on those other pages (contrary to your accusations against me). Now you are the one who is inviting people to start de novo discussions on WikiProject pages that you selected; please don't do that. If people wish to comment on this, please join the discussion on my talk page. --Orlady (talk) 02:02, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
The article Western European parliamentary model seems to be very small. I'm still new here, and I didn't know if adding the Wikiproject template to its discussion would have alerted your attention. Instead of just putting a stub-tag on it and hoping someone catches it, I thought you might want to know about it this way. Thank you. ~ Nelg (talk) 22:08, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Lee Bright
Just a heads up about the article Lee Bright (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Someone who is accused of having connections to the topic is removing unfavourable and controversial material. The user also ahares a name with a YouTube user who has posted several videos from a rally which Bright attended. I don't think this is at WP:BLPNOTICE or WP:ANI level yet, but it needs to be watched. Paul MacDermott (talk) 18:07, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
