[edit] Vote count update
I origianlly put in the vote couts by looking at the Green newsletters dated just after each election. In some cases, I had added it up manually (giving potential for error). I noticed today that there were slight discrepancies between the numbers I entered and the numbers entered in the Wikipedia election articles which got the numbers from Elections Alberta. I suspect that the newsletter would not have accurate numbers because of the timing (i.e. unofficial results in the Green newsletters). So, I updated the numbers to be consistent with Elections Alberta. Because of this, I moved the Green Newsletter link from references to the external links section. It is no longer a source for any of the article content (unless someone else used it). --JamesTeterenko 18:20, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Logo
Ground Zero reverted the logo from Image:gpclogo.gif back to the old Image:Gpcsmall.jpg. gpclogo.gif is actually the correct logo for the Green Party of Alberta. We use the the federal party's logo provincially (which allows us to reuse the same signs, t-shirts, buttons, etc. - which fits in with our environmental conservation mandate). --GrantNeufeld 21:47, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry about that -- that was not intentional. I inadvertently used an older version of the page when editing. I apologize for putting you to the trouble of restoring your edit. Ground Zero | t 21:59, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- Not to worry. I was certain there was no mal-intent given that it was you who made the edit. --GrantNeufeld 04:15, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] History
I keep trying to reword the article, but you undo my edits without reason. Its not copy and paste, I gave you a source, and even tried to reword the article even further then before. I can't believe this, you people don't even know. 74.14.147.245 (talk) 23:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- The changes you made (to the content copied from the party website) were cosmetic at best. Unfortunately, they were ugly cosmetics. Removing factual details, but retaining generalizations, does not improve an article's quality. More significantly, encyclopedia content should not be replete with sentence fragments, misspellings, etc. See if you can determine what's wrong with "During the 2004 Canadian federal election The Alberta Greens were able to field a full slate of candidates and ended with the least successful Green candidate in 2004 getting a greater percentage of the vote than the most successful candidate in 2000" and "49 ridings had Green candidates, three candidates received more than 1,000 votes, and candidates were able to climb as high as 15% in there ridings."--Orlady (talk) 23:19, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
