[edit] Formatting issues

I've copied what follows from the Green Party of England and Wales discussion page, and have made some editorial changes in line with reducing the size of linked passages and not overlinking.

This page had become rather jumbled through the recent (and very informative) expansions. I have tried to bring it in line with the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. In particular:

  1. I have adjusted the headings to follow the standard format used in Wikipedia, i.e., the first heading level is formatted using two equal signs, and the second heading level is formatted using three equal signs.
  2. Words in headings are not capitalised unless they are the first word in the heading, or proper nouns. See WP:MOSHEAD.
  3. Other Wikipedia articles are linked only once, unless the article is long, in which case they may be linked again later in the article. There is no need to link the same article several times in the same paragraph. See WP:LINK.
  4. Ordinary words are not linked. See WP:CONTEXT.
  5. We try not to make the linked passages bigger than necessary, so Dr. [[Ranjit Singh]], MEP , rather than [[Ranjit Sngh|Dr. Ranjit Singh, MEP]].

[edit] Use of Definite Article

The definite article is not used at the start of this article but is used elsewhere. The YG constitution doesn't use it but elsewhere I think it is usually (but not always) used. Perhaps, a parenthesis would be appropriate; however, it should still be consistent in the article.

[edit] Hatnote

My deletion of the hatnote as it is non-disambiguating (in violation of WP:HN#Disambiguating_article_names_that_are_not_ambiguous) was reverted. Is there any point to this hatnote? Joe Llywelyn Griffith Blakesley talk contrib 18:39, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Take general discussion to Wikipedia talk:Hatnotes#Disambiguating article names that are not ambiguous.

I've given the reverter over a week to explain their actions. Changing back.

[edit] List of Committee Members

I think the names of the committee members are irrelevant to the reader as none of them are well-known. There seems to be a trend to add them to organisation articles. Maybe we should have a policy on this. Any opinions?

Also, I prefer definition lists to tables for this sort of thing. (However, table might look nicer and it would be hard to make a def. list look like a table.) WP is relatively HTML non-compliant, anyway, unfortunately. Joe Llywelyn Griffith Blakesley talk contrib 18:39, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Young Greens (Green Party of England and Wales) → Young Greens (England and Wales) … Rationale: Occam's Razor; current title is redundant as no other organisation in England and Wales has young greens in its name; for international purposes, the article's subject is known by the proposed title, never the existing one.
