Talk:United States presidential election, 2004, in Florida

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Merge controversies article

It seems as if the content of both of these articles should be in one place, preferably here, since this seems to be the "main" article discussing the 2004 Election in Florida. --tomf688 (talk - email) 22:47, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I think perhaps the article should instead/also be merged 'back' to the main irregularities article, 2004_U.S._presidential_election_controversy_and_irregularities. Thoughts? -- User:RyanFreisling @ 13:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

That's fine with me. However, I think this article should at least have a subheading with a few paragraphs devoted to the controversy along with a link to the main article. --tomf688 (talk - email) 22:15, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I originally created this and the ohio article back when we had only one gi-normous article. My intent was to find a way to split up the content. into subarticles. now we have the machines-suppression-polls-legal actions break down which seems to work pretty well. I was actually hoping these articles would be deleted in the vfds, but i think merge is actually more ideal. this article predominately deals with vote suppression. i suggest merging this and ohio into 2004 United States presidential election controversy, vote suppression. I'm fine with the idea of a subheading and a few paragraphs, with a link. Kevin Baas^talk 17:55, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I disagree with Kevin_baas. See here for my answer (there is the same debate on the Ohio page).--Revas 18:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

To make sure there's no confusion: I suggested merging 2004 United States election voting controversies, Florida and 2004 United States election voting controversies, Ohio into 2004 United States presidential election controversy, vote suppression. In any case, we all seem to agree that there should be a subheading and a few short paragraphs on this page, w/an appropriate link. Kevin Baas^talk 18:11, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Alternatively, one could do the reverse and split/merge 2004 United States presidential election controversy, vote suppression into 2004 United States election voting controversies, Florida and 2004 United States election voting controversies, Ohio. I never liked the redundancy. Kevin Baas^talk 18:15, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay, i misunderstood, sorry, my English sucks...--Revas 18:16, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

No, it's my fault, and it's my bad english. I didn't suggest - i meant to suggest. I thought this was the talk page for the irregularities article when i wrote that. Let's start on a draft for the section and link in this article. Kevin Baas^talk 18:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
