Suggestion: timeline of electoral performance?

Given the many assemblies and elections in which the AAP is now taking part, it would be a benefit to summarize them all into one table, such as these:

Kahlores (talk) 03:40, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kahlores Thank you for your brilliant idea. I have used your suggestion to transclude the electoral performance section. Can you share which page you copied this from? Venkat TL (talk) 09:43, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

@User:Venkat TL The two pages are shown above, they are two liberal parties from Spain and Germany, respectively. I haven't seen your attempt. My intent was to do something like this (using ISO 3166-2:IN two-letter codes, maybe some of them are uncommon):

StateYear	IN		AP	AR	AS	BR	CT	GA	GJ	HR	HP	JH	KA	KL	MP	MH	MN	ML	MZ	NL	OR	PB	RJ	SK	TN	TG	TR	UT	UP	WB

Kahlores (talk) 01:03, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

@Kahlores I checked those pages linked above. I think the case of AAP is different from FDP or Citizens as AAP has only been active for the last 10 years (2 General Election cycles). While those Euro parties have been for more than 50 years. Another point of difference is that AAP is only successful so far in 5 states out of 30. Consequently I dont think this suggested form of table that has the column of all the states is a good representation for now. it will be mostly filled with zeros. The form in the article right now is better in my opinion. You can check my transclusion attempts on Goa Legislative Assembly, Bhagwant Mann, any suggestions to improve are welcome. Venkat TL (talk) 10:53, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

On this AAP Page, I see one point of improvement. There are pages for State wing such as AAP Punjab AAP Goa that duplicate the tables on AAP to some extent. How can we transclude them at one place to avoid efforts to maintain them at 2 places. There is always a risk that while updating one table may be updated while the other page (where it was duplicated) is left out. That would create discrepancy. If the AAP page can transclude somehow those tables, that would be better. Is it doable? Venkat TL (talk) 10:53, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Indeed FDP's table is very long, but Citizens has been active in just one province of Spain (Catalonia) from 2006 to 2014, until the party expanded. It seems close to AAP that first started in Delhi in 2012 and is now expanding. On the table, we wouldn't have to fill other states with zeroes: we could leave it blank or remove the column. Kahlores (talk) 18:28, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

As for your transclusion issues, I am not gifted enough to help. There is a help page which I used last month (Help:Transclusion) and then if needed you can ask on Misplaced Pages:Teahouse. Kahlores (talk) 18:28, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you the links are helpful. @Dhruv edits do you have a third opinion. I am not so sure if this table would appear useful to the reader. Venkat TL (talk) 20:38, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

@Venkat TL I think it is way too soon for such a table for AAP. The party is still very young and has taken part in only 2 Lok Sabha elections. Current table looks apt for now. Dhruv edits (talk) 09:13, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Color of party

Aam Aadmi party is now using basanti coliur in their rallies as their symbol. So i think yellowish (basanti) color should be used for the party ਕਿਸਾਨੀ ਜਿੰਦਾਬਾਦ (talk) 02:00, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

@User:Venkat_TL ਕਿਸਾਨੀ ਜਿੰਦਾਬਾਦ (talk) 02:01, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

@ਕਿਸਾਨੀ ਜਿੰਦਾਬਾਦ: Do you have a reliable source to cite here on the Talk page that shows that the party has adopted a particular color scheme? Because if not, no change can be made based purely on your claim. General Ization 02:11, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

open this link to see there claim https://indiatoday.in/amp/news-analysis/story/punjab-aap-bjp-basanti-saffron-shaheed-bhagat-singh-1925689-2022-03-15 ਕਿਸਾਨੀ ਜਿੰਦਾਬਾਦ (talk) 04:04, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

@ਕਿਸਾਨੀ ਜਿੰਦਾਬਾਦ The link you shared only explains the colour of the headgear they wore in the oath ceremony. Nowhere it states that the party has changed its colours. Even their website continues to show their old colours. Flag too. It is not appropriate to change colours based on headgear of one incident. Tomorrow they will wear navy blue, then what? @General Ization has explained you already. Venkat TL (talk) 07:43, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

is there any explanation regarding their navy blue colour ਕਿਸਾਨੀ ਜਿੰਦਾਬਾਦ (talk) 07:45, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

@ਕਿਸਾਨੀ ਜਿੰਦਾਬਾਦ their flag and website. Venkat TL (talk) 08:26, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

ok thanks ਕਿਸਾਨੀ ਜਿੰਦਾਬਾਦ (talk) 09:08, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Political position of AAP needs update to centrist only

There are many instances where AAP government is supporting facilitation of private businesses and also making for them to increase the position of Delhi or India in ease of doing business over all. We don't call Europe a left-centric because it's giving services to its citizens like minimum wedge, free health, free education like in Finland, etc. AAP also had removed a minister because he was asking for bribe even though he was a Muslim(so no minority appeasement as well, or economic control of state). During AAP Delhi has become a startup hub. Ideology should be Centric only. Attached some articles for reference: 1. https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/dipp-lists-aap-government-steps-in-ease-of-doing-business-achievements/articleshow/52330687.cms 2. https://aamaadmiparty.org/jobs-and-economy-economy/ 3. https://theprint.in/india/delhi-govt-plans-to-facilitate-food-hospitality-sectors-to-boost-night-time-economy/890771/ 4. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/capital-gains-how-delhi-turns-a-startup-hub/articleshow/89257491.cms 5. https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2022/feb/07/delhi-from-jugaad-to-startup-hub-2416355.html RashmikantT (talk) 22:35, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Ideology of AAP in table should not contain Economic Nationalism but below 3 points

National convener of Aam Aadmi Party(kind of like boss of AAP) has made it clear many times what is the ideological pillars of Aam Aadmi Party 1. Staunch Nationalism 2. Staunch honesty 3. Humanity AAP has never promoted economic Nationalism, it is facilitating free market economics on many occasions just because the school, health are under government funding does not mean it is economic nationalism. Economic nationalism requires a major stake of government into businesses which is not the case for AAP governments. In fact it works on economic liberalisation where if one gives a solution with the right or left ideology then go with it and not follow a particular ideological cum economic model. Some articles are for reference purposes: 1. https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/staunch-nationalism-at-core-of-aap-ideology-says-arvind-kejriwal-1931083-2022-03-29 2. https://aamaadmiparty.org/about/why-we-are-different/ 3. zeenews.india.com/india/hardcore-patriotism-diehard-honesty-humanity-of-aap-ideology-arvind-kejriwal-2449039.html/amp 4. https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-fundamental-ideologies-of-the-Aam-Aadmi-Party/answer/Atul-Kumar-Dwivedi-3?ch=15&oid=27535049&share=7e4b9bf4&srid=XHaET&target_type=answer (it's an opinion)

On this occasion, I also would like to flag practices that are happening on the Aam Aadmi Party Misplaced Pages page. People are making guesses, assumptions without any proof or credible source, I do not know the intent behind it but one might guess their prejudice regarding Aam Aadmi Party. RashmikantT (talk) 23:10, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Disagree, this would be a biased opinon by founder of the party, should not be added on wiki. NPOV fail. Amitized (talk) 09:07, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Nisha Singh update

AAP councillor Nisha Singh convicted and sentence to 7 years of imprisonment. Should we add it in the article? Amitized (talk) 09:05, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

The sources cited for the above passage are as follows:

• Joshua, Anita. "AAP's agenda has long been the Communist programme: Karat". The Hindu. Archived from the original on 18 March 2014. Retrieved 12 March 2014.
  • This says: Without revealing the party’s hand on whether the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) could be a potential ally, Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Prakash Karat on Thursday said the virtues the new party claims for itself and its agenda of social justice, democratisation and decentralisation of power has long been the Communist programme.
• Anuja. "CPI (M)'s Karat hails Kejriwal's AAP as communist". LiveMint. Archived from the original on 12 March 2014. Retrieved 12 March 2014.
  • This says: “The virtues that AAP claims for itself—a clean image, incorruptibility, denial of perks and privileges of power, and funding based on people’s contributions—are all part of the style and practice of the communists from the outset,” Karat said in an article in People’s Democracy, the party’s organ.

So clearly the two cited sources support the old version of the text.

An editor wishes to make the change above. His/her argument is It is to justify the government stand on economic policies the webpage currently is dying to make the government as a communist which is significantly incorrect i strongly reject this point of making the government communist even though it is not.-- Toddy1 (talk) 16:36, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

@RashmikantT: In your edits you added new text and citations, and I have retained these, and fixed problems with citation templates such as URL errors, titles not as they were in the source, etc. I have also consolidated identical citations, and taken a citation used in the infobox for centrist and put it in the body of the article next to centrist.

Concerning whether the communists are corrupt, you changed "claiming" to "alleging". I have changed it to "and said that". He did say it; you were probably right to object to "claiming" as that expresses doubt. See MOS:CLAIM.

Your edits also deleted cited text, and you gave reasons in the edit summaries that I cannot see the relevance of. I have restored the cited text and improved the citation templates. Misplaced Pages is based on what reliable sources say. If you still object to these passages, please could you use the article talk page to explain your objections, rather than repeatedly reverting as you did the other day.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:12, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

"The" at the start of the article

An editor keeps deleting the word "The" from the start of the lead. It is normal English the use the definite article (the) in these circumstances:

• Bharatiya Janata Party, starts The Bharatiya Janata Party
• Democratic Party (United States), starts The Democratic Party
• Social Democratic Party of Germany, starts The Social Democratic Party of Germany

Please can "The" be restored.-- Toddy1 (talk) 16:44, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

I am changing the start of the lead to use the same format as the start of the lead for Bharatiya Janata Party. i.e. it starts with a "The" (which is grammatical English) and has the abbr. BJP after the literal translation.-- Toddy1 (talk) 05:19, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
