Hi! Since we've each been doing edits on Wisconsin elections lately, including the sidebar, I wanted to reach out to you to see what you thought about an idea that I had for keeping things consolidated. I'm working on some additional county executive elections and I don't want to clutter up the sidebar. I like how you consolidated the mayoral and county executive elections in Green Bay, Madison, and Milwaukee, and wanted to take that idea a little bit further. I wanted to see what you thought about the following:

• Retitling "Brown County" as "Green Bay" and "Dane County" as "Madison," because it seems as though a user is likelier to know what the cities are than the counties

• Having Green Bay, Kenosha, Madison, and Milwaukee as main entries, and then "Other localities" for the other counties, as the Template:Elections in Florida sidebar has had for a little while.

Thoughts? Thanks! PA Uploader (talk) 21:27, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I appreciate the effort you have been putting in for these, I think keeping the county labels is fine and nesting local elections within each respective county is fine because otherwise it clutters up the infobox too much and creates a monstrosity like Template:Elections in California sidebar. I would also recommend maybe limiting what localities or counties you make elections for to only the top 5 or 10 biggest in the state. @PA Uploader. Talthiel (talk) 17:06, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi. We've been editing similar pages for a while now, but I don't know how directly we've interacted. We seem to have similar goals, though, so I'd like to ask if you'd be willing to do something. I've been doing a lot of edits to expand the 2024 United States state legislative elections page, and I plan to submit it for Good Article review in the near future. Would you be willing to look over the page and see if there's anything you can improve on it before I submit it? Just stuff like making sure I'm not being too biased in what I include, not skipping anything vitally important, or giving undue weight to anything in particular. If you'd be willing to do that, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, OutlawRun (talk) 00:18, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I can look over the article to the best of my ability given my current knowledge of events documented on the page, but from some looks it seems quite well made. On a similar note I have been looking to eventually submit the 2024 Wisconsin State Assembly election for Good Article review. I have also been wondering if you could help me review or improve that article as well. Additionally, the biggest blind spot for me before that article is finished is election maps and I have 0 understanding of QGIS (in spite of multiple attempts to learn) to do it, @OutlawRun.

Sure! I'll give that article a look over in the next few days, if you think it's ready. OutlawRun (talk) 03:13, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Hey,

I was trying to update the map used on the 2026 Michigan Senate election page because Rosemary Bayer is retiring, but I kept getting errors when submitting it and it was saying that I didn't have permission to do so because it's not my upload. Since it's your upload, it'd be great if you could update it when you get the chance. I think she's the only person who needs to get updated on there, and her district would be the one directly below the left side's red district in the Metro Detroit close-up

Also as a sidenote, since the Senate map got changed due to a lawsuit since the 2022 elections, I'm not sure when to upload a map with the new districts. I was thinking about doing it myself, but it's been so long since I've dealt with maps that I've completely forgotten how to do basically anything past changing colors. Plus doing it too early could make it confusing with some district numbers changing ABlitzz (talk) 20:40, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
