Talk:Politics of Croatia

message: The edits by 193.198.221.42 disturb the normal historic overview with a lot of, well, rambling. I'll either move it to a new section or ditch it. --Joy [shallot] 23:26, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: The section on the 20th century history of political parties and coalitions IMO is a beneficial part of the article, however I think it is too large and unreferenced. The referencing itself is not too problematic as those events are substantially covered by historians and the press, but substance of the section is contains too much detail to conform to the summary style. On the other hand, the political history of Croatia needs to reference significant parties in earlier history such as the Party of Rights (1861–1929) - once again avoiding excessive details.--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:32, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the notice of a proposal to merge the section to the History of Croatia met zero responses other than mine a week ago, I presume there's not much interest in salvaging its content. Therefore I'll replace its current content with new, condensed and referenced material.--Tomobe03 (talk) 23:15, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Political history and political parties 

message: Made a quick pass through the article, so here are some comments:
* Looks very good - B class at least, no doubt about that. Probably could pass GAN as it stands.
* Intro is a bit big. Still, there's a lot of ground to cover. Could perhaps use some reordering.
* D'Hondt has a 5% threshold (IIRC).
* Political parties/campaigns are partly financed by the government (not sure if this is a matter for the Elections in Croatia - maybe this fact is mentioned somewhere, but I can't find it)
* There's election silence in Croatia (OK, this one should go to Elections in Croatia, I'm mentioning it here before I forget it)
* Local government might still be moved to Government of Croatia, but in fact I find it slightly preferable that it stays here, so that the latter article could deal with its subject in the narrower sense of the word (the "cabinet").
I'll take a better look at the Elections in Croatia by the end of the week. I think I'll definitely make a second pass through all three articles later at some point; given their importance, perhaps more people should. GregorB (talk) 00:29, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree completely that the lead should be trimmed a bit. I'll try to do that right away. I also think that the local government might as well stay here, at least for a while. As far as other points are concerned, none of them are mentioned in this article, but I'd rather place all of them in the elections article instead. All of those seem to be far too specific for elections and exact specifics might change once in a while, so that's why I'd prefer to put them there.--Tomobe03 (talk) 00:41, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: As we already mentioned, there's a case for a standalone article on local government. Just not now - the content does not warrant it yet. GregorB (talk) 15:01, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: True. I'll try to conjure it up in my sandbox and take it from there.--Tomobe03 (talk) 15:04, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
