Talk:Wessex Regionalists

message: I removed the word "minor" from the first sentence, as the Electoral Commission defines a minor political party as one which only contests local elections. As the WRs contest parliamentary elections, they do not fit this definition, so I felt the description was potentially misleading. --82.33.80.82 (talk) 19:30, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair point. But in common parlance it is minor, so any suggestions? Sources? Doug Weller (talk) 21:50, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Surprisingly I couldn't easily come up with a clear-cut source, except this rather oblique reference in The Guardian. But doesn't it come within the sky is blue etc? A statement of the obvious? And perhaps include a footnote that it doesn't technically fulfil the EC's definition. DeCausa (talk) 23:38, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

text: This is from the Electoral Commission's own website: http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/electoral_commission_pdf_file/0006/13488/form-rp1m.pdf Maybe use "small" as an alternative? I looked on thesaurus.com, but all the other synonyms for "minor" that I found were pejoratives such as "trivial" or "insignificant".--Nick xylas (talk) 19:18, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: I have changed the logo to a colour version which was e-mailed to me by David Robins, the party secretary, for the express purpose of uploading to Wikipedia.--Nick xylas (talk) 10:02, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't need permission to use a logo on Wikipedia. You do however need to put a source, a licence, and if appropriate a fair use rationale. Please look at the b&w logo for an idea of how this is done. If you don't do it then the colour logo will be automatically deleted. --Bob Re-born (talk) 10:34, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I have forwarded the e-mail from the creator of the file to permissions. If this is not enough, I will get him to fill in a permissions letter.16:59, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, you don't need permission. If that is the logo then it can be used without permission under a fair use claim. --Bob Re-born (talk) 17:10, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Does anybody have any idea why the party got such a high vote in Westbury in 1979? It doesn't match with other constituency results that year or in other years in the same constituency. Could the candidate have profited by his surname in some way? BTLizard (talk) 12:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
