Regarding the Timeline

[edit]

I have a few questions regarding the Timeline section:

  1. Does this article actually need a Timeline section when there is already a History section?
  2. Why is the Timeline organised by country, instead of chronological order?
  3. Why would a "timeline" organised by country be necessary when there is a breakdown by continent immediately after it?

Map

[edit]

It's surprising that the map color for the US does not reflect the date of the 19th amendment. Perhaps that is beacuse significant barriers to voting existed until at least the voting rights act of 1965. These barriers, however, did not single out women. If this broad interpretation holds, it's only a small step further to say that full suffrage is not yet realized because women can't vote from prison.

It seems to me that regardless of such quibbles the US should be colored 1920. Mdmi (talk) 15:46, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with this comment. The color is misleading here 172.58.30.212 (talk) 13:15, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Female suffrage in South Australia

[edit]

Hello all

I have changed the date on which women won the vote and the right to stand for parliament in South Australia to 1895. I have added two reliable sources. The confusion is that the South Australian colonial parliament passed a Bill granting these rights in December 1894. However, the bill did not gain royal assent until February 1895 and this is the date it became law. The two cited sources explain this. I will progressively change the date throughout the article to 1895.

You should not do that: instead, you should leave both dates in the article, and explain why their are two dates. That is how it is normally done. --Aciram (talk) 12:15, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's not right, we normally put in the date which the consensus of recent reliable sources states is the date on which women gained the legal right to vote (and in this case, also the right to stand for parliament). For women in the colony of South Australia that is February 1895. Put it this way: if the South Australian government had held a snap election in January 1895 would women have had the right to vote in that election? Answer: No. If the South Australian government had held a snap election in March 1895, would women have had the right to vote in that election? Answer: Yes.
