Talk:Underhang seat

message: I'm not sure whether the Australian example is truly an underhang.  STV is a system of vote transfering.  The votes are given to the people, not to the party.  The party does not get three quotas, the first person gets all the votes, they are then distributed onto the next person on the parties list of transfers.  I will leave it up for a while to see if anyone can provide an explanation as to why it is STV.  But it will be removed otherwise!  --Gregstephens 03:41, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Another method to dealing with underhangs is to allow the party to nominate people to become MPs.
because it doesn't make sense. An underhang is when there are not enough list MPs to fill seats. This can be resolved by having the party add people to the list to fill the seats. It's not the sort of fact that needs a citation.

Talk:Afro-American music

message: Can we consider merging Music of the African diaspora and Afro-American music, preferably under the title Music of the African diaspora? Afro-American music to me, and I think most people, refers to music of the United States, and it seems strange to see Latin American and Caribbean music there. Outside the Americas, music of African heritage is largely confined to Britain and on occasion Holland, France, Belgium and Germany which can be included in the new title.

message: I've done a copy edit, but this is a problematic article. The citations were not written properly so it wasn't clear what was being referred to (e.g. "Samson" in brackets, but no indication as to who that is). Also the figures don't sound right: 1.7 per cent of women claim to have been raped at college (I'd have thought it was considerably higher than that); half of those aren't considered rape by the victim; and between 35 and 75 per cent of all rapes take place on campus — even though only 1.7 per cent of women are raped there, with only half of them calling it a rape? 
::Agreed. It also presents a misleading image of men, because it's likely that it is not one out of four men comitting these crimes.
