Orphaned references in 2024 Indian general election in Maharashtra

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 2024 Indian general election in Maharashtra's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "TOI1":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:05, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Repeated addition of non-major contenders

I see that this some things in this article donot follow the Manual of Style/Layout for Indian election articles that is MOS:INDELECT which says Only those parties that are covered by Reliable Media as a major contender for winning that election are listed in the infobox. The number of potential contenders can be 2,3 or 4 etc. Many parties and independents will contest in the election, all of them cannot be added in the infobox. and The major contenders should not be removed from infobox after the results are declared even if they get 0 seats, because they "were" the major contenders "during" the election. For example AIMIM which is not a major contender has been added in the infobox once again after I removed it. Now why I believe that it is not a major contender is bcoz of two things. First its performance in last election and second it not being covered as such by reliable source. We can see 2024 Indian general election in Maharashtra#Surveys and polls to see the analysis by reliable sources (The section is transcluded from Opinion polling for the 2024 Indian general election). It shows two alliances as NDA & I.N.D.I.A. (whose prominent member parties are in infobox, the first 6 parties) and mentions Others. Here it shows that AIMIM is covered as others which signifies it is not a major party. So it should be removed. ShaanSengupta^Talk 08:08, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

How can we say NCP(AP) as a major contender as they're new and have same no. of seats as AIMIM. Opinion polls says they will win only 2 seats. Happyjit Singh (talk) 10:49, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

NCP (AP) as major contender should be debated and if found non-major should be removed. Since you now are talking according to the layout guidelines, are you willing to revert all those non-major parties addition or tell me I will do it if you are ok. ShaanSengupta^Talk 12:13, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

@Happyjit Singh @Shaan Sengupta. Based on their previous vote share and current reporting in WP:RS, both AIMIM and NCP(AP) should be removed. Dhruv edits (talk) 12:29, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

This is what I have been saying. ShaanSengupta^Talk 13:07, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

@Happyjit Singh @Shaan Sengupta Parties in infobox are added as per WP:RS. As per election reporting by reliable media, NDA and INDIA are major contenders for the election, which is also confirmed by opinion polls. Just because AIMIM has a seat in Lok Sabha from Maharashtra doesn't make them a major contender for the next election. Unless reliable sources provide that AIMIM is a major contender for the election, they shouldn't be added to infobox. The same should be followed for NCP(AP). Infobox is not supposed to be a exhaustive list of every competing party. Dhruv edits (talk) 12:25, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

@Dhruv edits this is exactly what I have been saying. If @Happyjit Singh finally agrees and wants to fix the wrong he has done, he should let us know that he is willing to undo his edits not just in this article but all others. I can't do because I have already reverted him twice in a span of less than 24 hours. Third will lead to violation of 3RR which I wont do. If he still doesn't agree then only admins will decide what to do. ShaanSengupta^Talk 13:10, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Can I use Infobox legislative election

@Number 57 @Maphumor. Can I use Infobox legislative election instead of Infobox election. It is better because it give representation to all parties and doesn't make Infobox lengthy. লাল সেলাম কমরেড (talk) 13:26, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

User লাল সালাম কমরেড, I disagree, it is far worse. It leaves out most information which are necessary for a proper understanding of the election. It leaves out vote shares and seats won in the previous election.

Nor does it represent all parties, it is not even possible to represent all parties as there are 100s. It is actually misleading, for example it represents a minor party AIMIM which had less than 1% votes but it does not represent VBA which had almost 7%. Even if added, a reader would incorrectly think AIMIM is larger because its current seats is 1 and VBA's is 0.

Your format is maybe suitable if there were a large number of small parties with seats or if vote shares matched the number of seats. Many European countries use proportional representation so it is suitable for them because their seats are dependent on vote share but India uses a first past the post system so it is not suitable, not used and should not be used for the vast majority of Indian articles.

You must also stop repeating your format. You introduced a new format by removing the old format which was there for a long time. No one else disagreed with the old format so it is on you to discuss and convince most people of the merits of your change or else you can not keep it in the article.

And why did you not call me and @Zendrago X and called someone else? MrMkG (talk) 15:39, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

If you didn't see, লাল সেলাম কমরেড is now blocked as a sockpuppet. Ravensfire (talk) 20:08, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Opinion Poll Tables

For some reason, the opinion poll table for Maharashtra in the main article is the source for the table here, and not the other way around. Is this a mistake or deliberate? SB12072006 (talk) 15:25, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

It basically adds together all the alliance members' figures in Maharashtra together. Ok123l (talk) 17:02, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Analysis proposal

I suggest adding such a table in the results section.

Win\2nd	BJP	SS	Others	1st/2nd/-
INC	18/53	17/15	9/2	44/71/10
NCP	25/30	22/17	7/0	54/47/24
Others	12/22	12/24	3/3
1st/2nd/-	105/55/4	56/51/17

18/53 indicate INC won with BJP as 2nd in 18 seats, and BJP won over INC as runnerup in 53 seats.
