Talk:2010 Ukrainian presidential election

message: Yulia Tymoshenko & Arseniy Yatsenyuk seem to split eatchothers vote. Why don't the votes in "Novorossiya" never split(?), in other words how come Viktor Yanukovych (and "his" Party of Regions) never has any competition there? Fraud and bribing of possible competitors by Party of Regions?
Not sure if this is wiki-related but if someone has good refs it could be a good improvment of the article.

replies: text:   there are many articles on Wikipedia about gaming the vote.  See first-past-the-post voting and Preferential voting. Had Ukraine adopted a single round Preferential voting system not only would the cost of holding the election be considerable less minor candidates such as Yushchenko would not play a negative role in the outcome of the ballot. Under a preferential voting system if no single candidate has 50% or more votes then the candidate(s) with teh least number of votes are excluded from the count and their votes redistributed according to the voters nominated preference of choice.  Minor candidates can have a positive influence on the outcome of the election by advocating a preference for other candidates.  One of the main criticisms leveled at the first-past-the-post voting system is that candidates which have a similar agenda work against each other they are also referred to as Spoiler candidates.  Candidates designed to take votes away from opponents.   Australia is the main country that uses preferential voting. It was introduced to prevent spoiler candidates.  The high deposit fee also is designed to try and limit spoiler candidates from nominating.  There is a serious of article on http://ukrainetoday.blogspot.com/search/label/Electoral%20Reform that address this issue in relation to Ukrainian Politics.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.190.40.8 (talk) 01:32, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Has Petro Symonenko a.k.a. Beaker said anything about him participating in the election yet? Aperently Tymoshenko said "someone from our team" will participate. — Mariah-Yulia (talk) 08:20, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I think Viktor Yushchenko should not be in the infobox, but instead of him Arseniy Yatsenyuk. Cause Yatsa has a change of winning and Yushch has not! The days of administrative resource is long gone in Ukraine I do hope. Without using that Yushch has no change of wining the election.... polls suggest.
I think the order should be the outcom polls suggest:
1. Yanuko
2. Tymo
3. Yatsa

replies: text: The main reason why he should stay is because hes an incumbent seeking re-election. No matter whether or not he wins. And adding Yatsenyuk wouldn't be bad too, just add some other candidates like Hrytsenko and the like. ddima.talk 22:45, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

message: President of the Academy of the Ukrainian Press Valeriy Ivanov claims "subliminal suggestion technologies and bribery of the press might be used during the next presidential election in Ukraine". Worth puting this info in the article? — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 10:36, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

message: What about entrance fee for candidates? I heard that it is 500.000 hryvnias and it will not returned to candidates after election. If so that, bureaucrats, judges, professors, generals that did not have any corruption in their career can not enter the election. Only rich people or backed by parties or companies can enter. --91.124.196.216 (talk) 14:39, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The deposit is set at 2,500,000 UAH  The election is expected to cost over 1 billion dollars.  If you want highly respected judges and the like then you should support the proposal to have the parliament elect the head of state as is the case in Greece and Moldova and the European Council. You hold an election you will get a politician, It costs billions so of course those that have the money win. A collegiate system of appointment is by far better and more democratic.  Even the US uses a collegiate system in electing its head of state.  The main problem with teh US system is the college is undemocratic in its representation —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.190.40.8 (talk) 00:43, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I believe Tymoshenko and Yanukovych should swap places in the chart since the latter is regrettably leading in the overwhelming majority of polls. Now the very order of the candidates in the chart is misleading and POVish. Garik 11 (talk) 21:20, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia is an virtual encyclopedia.  The 2007 Election is past, this is a current event.  The time table as such should be higher then the subjective discussion on the campaign.  Its category title is "time table" the article already refers to the election. It should also only list official dates and events. Not partisan information. Its not a time line of events that have happened its a time table of events to be actioned.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.190.40.8 (talk) 01:19, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Why is the "Time Table" so high up in this article and not below as in Ukrainian parliamentary election, 2007? This is not that important (and in my opinion one of the least interesting of all) info. Furthermore it should be named "Election time line" (as in Ukrainian parliamentary election, 2007). Hence I do not agree. I got the feeling most readers will not bother to read it, so it's place now makes the article less inviting to read the whole article. Wiki articles should also (in my view) be consistent, hence the same events should have the same names. Please don't use this "How could you ever think otherwise"-tone, I find it annoying. — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 01:37, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I suggest you change the wording on the past listings if your that concerned about it.

The Law on the Presidential election places ballot papers in alphabetical order based on surname. There was some discussion to change this to a lot.  But until the ballot papers list is finalized then we should use alphabetical to avoid and disputation as to who registered first.  Registration is a process that continues until November 6 and they have until November 11 to finalize documentation and payment of deposits.

message: It seems that the sexual abuse of children in the international children's camp Artek is starting to play a role in the electoral campaign since three parliamentarians from the Bloc of Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko are named as accomplices which according to one of them is a dirty trick of the Party of the Regions (See here). More info here here and here. This has not made international headlines and I do not know if/or it has an impact on the election.

message: Readers should note the ongoing different ways of translitation of spelling.  eg Tihipko or Tyhypko. Ryabokon or Riabokon.

In any event Ryabokon or Tihipko will not survive the first round of voting.  They are essentially spoiler or technical candidates.

Besides it looks like  (or even WP:CRYSTAL), it also doesn't take into account that more or fewer people will vote in this second round.

message: I have removed the highest vote map as I do not think it contributes anything.  It is  false and misleading as each regions/district is not representative of the actual vote.  It may apply to the final round but certainly has no value to in relation to the first round.(On reflection I do not think it even applies to the final round as the vote is a national poll not regional). The other maps below are much more accurate in that it displays the distribution of a candidates vote in relation to the total vote.  An good example of the distortion in the information presented is in Dnipropetrovsk.  Here three candidates had a strong showing the highest vote map does not show this.  A party/candidate in Donetsk has over 80% of the region/district vote representing 8% of the total vote.  Yet in Zakaparttia the region has less then 400,000 votes and is divided three ways.

replies: text:  The above maps provide false and misleading information. The color gradient distribution has no relationship to the overall vote or to each other candidate.  Each regional/administrative district is not equal in size or representation. Looking at the above maps you get no indication of the true distribution of the vote. The published maps are based on the percentage of total national vote.  As such they are show a correct relationship to each region and candidate.  Each map has applied the same color gradient scale (% times 20) each candidate is also depicted in relation to each other candidate.  If you think is is important to provided a district level breakdown then you would need to color match and grade each 226 regions based on the total national vote not on the regional vote. It is a detail that I do not think will add to the information presented.Ukr-Trident (talk) 01:07, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: The previous map in the infobox does not make sence.  It is false and misleading. It is based on regional percentage and as seriously distorts the ditibution allocatioon of the vote and ignores the fact that other candidates have a significant support in the region. The current maps are best as they are based on the percentage of the National vote not regional vote.  If you want relocate them but do not publish false and misleading information in order to give the impression that Yulia Tymoshenko won more votes then she did. Yulia won 17 out of 25 regions BUT she won only 45% pf the vote  Each regions is not equal is size of number of constituents.  They have no bearing on the overall result of the election are only included for administrative reason only.  Ukraine is not the USA is it n0ot state/regional based. Publishing false data brings wikipedia onto disrepute.

replies: text: The map provides information that is false it presents 50% of Zarpattuia as having the same weight/color as Donetsk even though the later has seven times the number of constiuents.  The election is NOT WON ON Districts/Regional vote. In the Regional based map there is no relationship between each region. 
The map has nothing to do with election rules, it just breakdowns the differences between the regions and the candidates performances in them. There is only one country where regions decide elections and that is the USA. Don't presume that the reader is an idiot who once he sees the map he will think that Ukraine all of the sudden has a USA-style electoral college system. --Tocino, 22:04, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Your persisting in publishing false and misleading statistical information. IS this your aim to proved false data. IT IS NOT ABOUT BANDWIDTH IT IS ABOUT TRUTH IN STATISTICS. Yulia received the same number of votes in Donetks as she did in Zarpattia yet the colours are not the same?  Why is that? Yanukovych also received much more votes in Donetsk yet he is present as having the same percentage in Kharkiv and  other regions.  It is a NATIONAL VOTE NOT A REGIONAL VOTE.  Each region has vastly different number of constituents why are you presenting then as being equal in weight with not relation to others regions.  You have artficialy increased Yulia representation by distorting the facts. Ukr-Trident (talk) 20:39, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:   I ask the same question of you .  THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BEING THAT MAPS SHOWING THE PERCENTAGE OF THE REGIONAL VOTE AS OPPOSED TO THE NATIONAL VOTE IS MISLEADING AND FALSE.  ITS ABOUT HONEST REPORTING.  YOU HAVE TAKEN IT TO UNILATERALLY DECIDE TO PROMOTE FALSE INFORMATION.  51% of 4% is not the same as 51% of 11% is it. So you have inflated the vote that has been allocated to the smaller regions giving a false and misleading i9ndication of the election results.  Unlike the USA election the Ukrainian Presidential election is a NATIONAL VOTE.  It is not determined by Regional/State outcomes.  It has nothing to do about design (Although I think Red is not the appropiate color to use to represent Tymoshenko - Again this is not the USA Election). I have added a disclaimer so that readers are aware of the statistical distortion you are promoting.  And I read it there are two contributed and one anonymous IP address (yours maybe) that is supporting the notion of publishing false data. Ukr-Trident (talk) 00:21, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

text: Thanks for adding the highest vote map in the infobox. I think the disclaimer is just OK, too (maybe just a little bit too wordy). Also, I don't understand why change the pink colour for yellow. The yellow word "yellow" is hardly visible and hurts my eyes a bit. Garik 11 (talk) 15:20, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

That last part looks more like a interpretation then a fact, as she still believes the elections where dishonest and that Yanukovych wasn’t elected President of Ukraine...

message: I just removed from Savik_Shuster#Political_views:
Although Yanukovych refused to participate in the Shuster Live show arranged specifically for the three main candidates in Ukraine's 5th presidential elections on December 18, 2009, he maintained a clear lead in the opinion polls ahead of Yulia Tymoshenko.
because it has nothing to do with Shuster, let alone his political views.

message: Is there any reason why the maps in the "Electoral maps" don't show the percentage of each region's vote that the candidate got, but instead show the percentage of each candidate's total national vote that he or she got from each region?...
No offense intended to whoever made these maps, but showing the percentage in the way that its shown here frankly strikes me as quite convoluted and confusing.
And it also can be rather misleading, as a region with a larger population will (all else being equal) have more total votes for each candidate, and thus all candidates will have a higher percentage of their votes coming from said region, and vice-versa.  And when someone looks at the map and sees a high percentage for a certain region, it's not clear if this is reflecting the candidate being especially popular there, or simply the region's higher population.
So I would suggest that these maps be replaced with more traditional color-shaded electoral maps showing each candidate's vote percentage WITHIN EACH REGION.  See for example the maps section of the 2020 US Pres election, where there are shaded with each candidate's percentage by state and by county:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election#Maps
