Didn't Greece elect MEPs after their accession and before 1984, too? —Nightstallion (?) 23:19, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

message: There's two reasons why I prefer my way of structuring this template: Firstly, the abbreviations you used are non-standard in some cases, and do not really help with navigating; secondly, it helps a lot to have the supplementary elections in separate rows. I do realise the template takes up a little bit more space the way I do it, but since it's only at the very bottom of articles, anyway, that doesn't really hurt. —Nightstallion (?) 13:59, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the flag on the end because it looked rubbish tacked onto the end, was replaced with this message "+ flag as per standard". Can I just ask, what "standard"?!? -JLogan 16:30, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Which of the two versions [DK: discussed above] do people prefer? I don't really understand your reasoning behind the change Nightstallion - I thought it would be better to (a) have the 3 letter codes in alphabetical order rather than remain in the order that the country names come in, and (b) to reduce the redundant space as much as possible.

thread_title: Which version

message: 1: Austria and Finland 1995?
The Austria & Finland elections were held in 1996, not 1995 (see , ,,,,). 
2: The off-year elections 81,87,95,96 and 2007
Given the above, the European Parliament election, 1981, European Parliament election, 1987, European Parliament election, 1995, and European Parliament election, 2007 articles will cover at most two member states, and two of them (81 and 95) will only cover one. This, combined with the fact that each article will only ever be a stub/linkfarm, calls the viability of those articles into question.
I therefore propose the following:
* 1: Redo the template.
* 2: Delink and delete the European Parliament election, 1987, European Parliament election, 1981, European Parliament election, 1995, and European Parliament election, 2007 articles.
I will implement the first proposal immediately. If anybody has any strong feelings for or against the second proposal, please make them known.

thread_title: Two things

message: There are articles about the EU elections in Gibraltar, where the votes are counted as part of the SW England region, but not about Northern Ireland, which elects its MEPs in its own region and with its own rules different from the rest of the UK.
I think either Gibraltar should be left out, or Northern Ireland should get its own articles. Ambi Valent (talk) 18:32, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: All citizens of Gibraltar together still make out only fractions of a seat. Looking at the results, the elected members of SW England in 2004 and 2009 would not change, regardless how the actual voters of Gibraltar voted. With a Gibraltar turnout rate of 100% concentrated on a single party, it would have been possible to move a seat from Con to Green in 2009, and from Con to LibDem in 2004. But these theoretically possible changes run against Gibraltar's voters, who gave only 7,6% to the LibDems in 2004 and only 3,2% to the Greens in 2009. (Even on Malta, Gibraltar's voters would only amount to just less than half a seat) Ambi Valent (talk) 21:20, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure what your point is? The fact that Gibraltar is so small is not a reason to exclude it; the elections still happened in a different territory. пﮟოьεԻ 57 08:56, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
