Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Next Scottish Parliament election, please be aware that editors are expected to follow the WP:Bold, revert, discuss cycle; if an edit you make is reverted, you should not try and make the same edit again, but should try and gain consensus for your proposed change on the article talk page.

Regarding some of your edit summaries (for example "This is the established order in law, practice" or "Need for consensus not required"), the statements made are either irrelevant or untrue. What the law says is irrelevant to how Wikipedia presents information. What is important is consensus (which is required). And with regards to the "in practice" claim, the 2021 article puts the regional vote first. Number 57 21:40, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your input I appreciate input from a more experienced editor. Perhaps a bit of context, this issue seems to only involve 2 editors, I am heavily involved in maintaining an article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_Scottish_Parliament_election this article and its predecessors goes back to the setting up of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, since which time it has always published data in the order of Constituency vote first. I only became aware of the other article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Scottish_Parliament_election when the other editor tried to use the example of this article to change the older more established article.

In reality this error in the presentation of the graphics is minor and probably would not bother me other than it being quoted as a precedent, that is my sole reason for amending it as it brings consistency across a couple of related articles.

It would be helpful if you reverted your change and allow the matter to play out. Apgup (talk) 12:15, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
