@Qwerty number1: Honestly, the presentation of the information is the issue, not the content. I'll concede to paragraph 3, but outside of that you are running into not important enough information to spend your time on. Pi zero has been saying a lot lately Wikinews needs short articles, I cannot speak for Pi zero but I think the current structure is sufficient for publication.

Review of revision 4533222 [Passed]

Revision 4533222 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 21:20, 16 December 2019 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: Had a lot of trouble with the numbers of seats gained and lost. Please be cautious with stats like that, to compare the sources; the sources disagreed on most of these numbers. After a great deal of digging, turns out BBC was comparing to the previous general election, while the Guardian was comparing to Parliament at the end of its last session in November. For example, the number of Liberal Democrat MPs had nearly doubled since the last election due to people changing their party affiliations. I decided to trust the Guardian's figures, which they said they'd gotten from the Press Association; but one might quite plausibly have said those stats were from the Press Association. The actual number of voters didn't come out right for me; I didn't see 3.6 million, and the given percentage of the total I did find was more like 3.2 million. I wasn't comfortable replacing the 3.6 on the strength of that, so I simply cut the absolute figure.

It is difficult to cover elections since there are fragmented counts and statistical win/losses. Not really sure the best way on how to deal with that other then let the dust settle a bit. AZOperator (talk) 04:32, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
