Conflict-of-interest policy
I'm starting to work on: Ballotpedia:Conflict of interest policies.
"To do list"
There is a new portal on Ballotpedia, the Ballotpedia:To do list. This portal lists the various tasks that ought to be done for every state in BP, and some general maintenance tasks that ought to be attended to on a regular basis to keep everything organized and easy to read. Please refer to the To Do List with questions about BP standardization.
Articles nominated for deletion
A category, Category:Articles nominated for deletion and a page, Ballotpedia:Nominations for deletion where users can nominate articles for deletion have been created by User:Musical. The only people on Ballotpedia who can delete articles are the administrators so if you have an article you think should be deleted, either put it in the "articles nominated for deletion" category, put it on the nominations for deletion page or, go to the user talk page for an administrator with a note about why you think it should be deleted.January 13:08, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Suggested change in categorization
Several contributors have been using a different way of categorizing articles about ballot measures, which I'd like to recommend as a standard format.
Old way
The old way was to put these tags (depending on the state) on article:
New way
The new ways is to further subdivide, as in this:
These smaller categories should themselves be placed as subcategories in the old, larger categories. Here's an example where that was done:
- Category:Marijuana. This includes subcategories for the marijuana measures in a number of states.
- Category:Ohio ballot measures. This includes subcategories for Category:Ohio 2008 ballot measures and other years, as well.
Questions? Thoughts? Leave me a note on my talk page. January 18:50, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
