Talk:Opinion polling for the 2024 Indian general election

NDA winning the popular vote with no data?

The article currently mentions the India TV-CNX poll under "vote share" and highlights NDA while the data from that row is conspicuously absent. I could not find mention in the cited sources, so I'd propose deleting that row for that section

Add graph

Add graph as in Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election#Graphical summary. It's very helpful and easy to understanding. @Shaan Sengupta @Dhruv edits Happyjit Singh (talk) 17:45, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

It has to be coded in R. Ok123l (talk) 18:35, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Opinion polls - Assumptions

In small states/UTs like Andaman & Nicobar, Ladakh, Puducherry, and virtually every northeastern state other than Assam, the numbers for opinion polls have not been given separately and instead bundled up in a region (Northeast, South, North etc.). Due to the lack of data in small states, some editors have just assumed who may win or chose their favourite party to win and put it as such here. What do we do here Dhruv edits? Ok123l (talk) 18:39, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

@Ok123l Not sure if this issue still persists, but if there are no opinion poll figures for some states/UT, then those polls shouldn't be added under such states/UT. Dhruv edits (talk) 21:17, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes it is still there, needs to be cleaned up Ok123l (talk) 11:48, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Vikepro, I have restored my edits and fixed all the errors and mistakes in them. If you have any more issues, discuss here. Ok123l (talk) 21:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Please do not revert fixes I have made that solve the referencing errors you've been causing. You've done so more than three times in the last 24 hours.

Many articles transclude content in sections from this article. Since the transclusion is limited to a single section, each section must stand on its own. If some section uses a reference definition that's not self-contained, the referencing article will end up with unreferenced material and referencing errors. It is necessary to repeat reference definitions in each section, since the wiki code will eventually stand on its own when transcluded. While this is tedious and not ideal, it's the right solution. The alternative is to create templates that include their own references and include those. -- Mikeblas (talk) 15:25, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

This may be a month late, but I must have done that unconsciously. Sorry for any inconvenience I caused you -- Ok123l (talk) 17:19, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Significantly unreferenced

This article reports dozens of opinion poll results without providing references. Is there a plan to make this information readily verifiable? Otherwise, I think it should be removed. -- Mikeblas (talk) 15:21, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

I have begun adding {{fact}} tags to the unreferenced polling numbers presented in this article. I had hoped the editors who had placed the statistics would come forward to reveal their sources, but my hope is waining. Material like this must be verifiable, and the taggings will let readers know that that claims this topic makes have not been verified. -- Mikeblas (talk) 16:15, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Nitro Absynthe thanks for adding those references, things are looking better! The sources you've added don't seem to include a margin of error for the reported numbers, but this article has margins of error for every one of races. Where did these margins of error come from? They're a bit odd -- I guess the percentage gives a range for the number of seats to be won or lost, but that seems a strange way to record the information. Should the margins of error simply be removed from the article, since no source is available for them? -- Mikeblas (talk) 15:40, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

@Mikeblas Sources for margins of error are available for most of them- ABP News- CVoter, India Today- CVoter, Mathrubhumi-PMARQ, News18, Times Now-ETG, Zee News-Matrize. India TV-CNX and Eedina didn't mention margin of error in its methodology, so the figures mentioned in the article might be incorrect. I can add these if required. Nitro Absynthe (talk) 17:58, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

These are difficult references -- they're all videos. Some not in English, many more than two hours long. -- Mikeblas (talk) 18:19, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

I've added the timestamp for MoE in the sources. Some surveys were published by regional newspapers. Their reports in English were not as comprehensive as those published in their native languages. -- Nitro Absynthe (talk) 06:33, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

The repeated references is making the page very cumbersome and absolutely unhandleable, very difficult to edit. MrMkG (talk) 19:37, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
