I will be out of my home state until 8 March.


I will almost certainly not be logging in or editing until then.


Thank you,

Peace!

		I'm completely impressed with your chart. Every graphic should aim to accomplish what your's does. Your chart takes a lot of complex information and quickly summarizes it into an easy-to-understand format. I love the proportionality of it. The colored maps you often see underrepresent the importance of the big delegate states. One question: Are superdelegates represented here? --Robapalooza (talk) 22:38, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Democratic Primaries polling map

Hello, I've been following the development of the 2008 Democratic primaries opinion polling page for a few weeks now. From what I can tell, you have been maintaining the map near the top that highlights the winner of individual states in actual results and the leaders in current polls. I was curious about how you decide the polling leaders. Are you combining recent polls to get a "poll of polls"? Or is it coming from a reliable source's "poll of polls"? I ask because we're not really supposed to manipulate data and present it, because that would be original research. Perhaps I just don't understand where the data on the map is coming from. Thanks for your help. Leebo ^T/C 21:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

My recommendation would be to not color the map based on polling. The polls are there for people to see, and it's far too problematic to analyze them and assign frontrunner status in various states. Unfortunately, that kind of defeats the purpose of the map. I'm not meaning to burst the bubble, but it's something that's inspired some comfusion. Leebo ^T/C 17:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Democratic presidential primary.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Democratic presidential primary.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.
