25 May 2024
- 18:5218:52, 25 May 2024 diff hist +718 Solihull (UK Parliament constituency) Doesn't make sense to call it a LD hold in 2010 and then in the next sentence acknowledge it was actually a gain. By all means keep the explanation (the seat kept its name and there would be legitimate confusion otherwise) but if boundary changes alter a result then it's not an academic aside.
- 18:4218:42, 25 May 2024 diff hist +29 Staffordshire Moorlands (UK Parliament constituency) Doesn't make sense to call it a gain and then in the next sentence acknowledge "most" sources consider it a hold. By all means keep the explanation (the seat kept its name and there would be legitimate confusion otherwise) but if boundary changes alter a result it's not an academic aside.
- 18:3418:34, 25 May 2024 diff hist +649 Sittingbourne and Sheppey (UK Parliament constituency) Prototypically small shift, but given 05-10 boundary changes I think it's a lot clearer to list as a hold and include an explanatory note in the main text than to list as a gain and add an easily overlooked note which talks about "media organisations" as though boundary changes are academic. The consensus is that it was a Tory seat already and that's what the article should reflect.

- 15:3315:33, 23 May 2024 diff hist +40 m 2015 United Kingdom general election Small infobox correction: Farage never held South Thanet as suggested by previous construction
19 May 2024
- 17:5917:59, 19 May 2024 diff hist +135 2024 United Kingdom general election Added caveats to Plaid and Alba re Commons vs devolved leadership, to mirror that given for the SNP.
10 May 2024
- 12:2112:21, 10 May 2024 diff hist +160 2019 United Kingdom general election Completely open to persuasion on the merits / necessity of this change, but added distinction between vote share and vote lead, which I think makes some explanatory sense in the context of a multi-party system where straight two-party shares aren't zero sum. (And given how similar the Tory 2019 and Labour 1997 shares are, also a good-faith attempt at the most balanced framing possible.)
7 May 2024
- 11:0711:07, 7 May 2024 diff hist +1 Geoff Duncan Undid groundless change of party affiliation to Democrat, because he isn't one. The literal title of the op-ed which presumably motivated the change is "Why I'm voting for Biden and why *other Republicans should, too."

- 10:2510:25, 1 December 2023 diff hist −32 Andrew Mitchell Seems too clever by half (and likely to confuse cursory readers) to elide service as DfID SoS with current FCDO gig. Abolition/merger of DfID was a big deal; it's not the same job.
4 October 2023
- 15:5215:52, 4 October 2023 diff hist −37 Alex Padilla Have again removed 'Appointed by' field given Padilla has since been elected to the seat, rendering this moot
- 07:2307:23, 4 October 2023 diff hist −41 Alex Padilla Not customary to retain 'appointed by' field once a senator has been elected in their own right. Cf Tina Smith, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Brian Schatz etc. etc. Tag: Manual revert
23 December 2022
- 14:0514:05, 23 December 2022 diff hist +1,871 List of speakers of the United States House of Representatives Added columns for party and state to longevity table, mirroring approach in article on 'List of members of the United States Congress by longevity of service'. This is core contextual information, which doesn't make the table unwieldy, and it shouldn't be necessary to skip back and forth between tables to find it. Tag: Reverted

8 December 2022
- 22:2722:27, 8 December 2022 diff hist +4 Tom Emmer Changed 'Majority Whip-elect' to 'Majority Whip-designate.' This reflects precedent, and it's more accurate and intuitive. Republicans aren't yet in the majority, so Emmer's Majority Whipship is an anticipated logical function, rather than the direct effect, of his position within caucus leadership.
- 22:2422:24, 8 December 2022 diff hist +4 Steve Scalise Changed 'Majority Leader-elect' to 'Majority Leader-designate.' This reflects precedent, and it's more accurate and intuitive. Republicans aren't yet in the majority, so Scalise's Majority Leadership is an anticipated logical function, rather than the direct effect, of his position within caucus leadership.
- 22:2322:23, 8 December 2022 diff hist +4 Katherine Clark Changed 'Minority Whip-elect' to 'Minority Whip-designate.' This reflects precedent, and it's more accurate and intuitive. Dems aren't yet in the minority, so Clark's Minority Whipship is a logical function, rather than direct effect, of her election by the caucus.
- 22:1922:19, 8 December 2022 diff hist +45 Hakeem Jeffries Changed 'Minority Leader-elect' to 'Minority Leader-designate.' This reflects precedent (e.g. Kevin McCarthy in Nov/Dec 2018), and it's more accurate and intuitive. Dems aren't yet in the minority, so his Minority Leadership is a logical function, rather than direct effect, of his election as caucus leader.
