| === The Democratic election in Sark === | |||
| Recommending a change of "The first democratic election takes place on the Channel Island of Sark, a British crown dependency." to "The Channel Island of Sark, a British crown dependency, holds their first democratic election." on the grounds that the former may be misleading to some readers. ] (]) 19:06, 10 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Agreed, but I think "holds '''its''' first democratic election" would be better. ] 20:08, 10 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::Also, the link to ] should be under "first democratic election", not "takes place". The linked article tells you nothing about "takes place", but it tells you all about Sark's "first democratic election". --] (]) 20:22, 10 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::But it's '''not''' the first democratic election there. They're moving from a Chief Pleas with 12 elected and 40 feudal members, to one with 28 elected and 2 feudal members (the seigneur and seneschal). Of course that is ''more'' democratic, but this isn't the first election nor the first fully elected chamber. It ''is'' the first time that Chief Pleas will have a ''majority'' of elected members though. ] ] 22:06, 10 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::: The headline has been tweaked. Is it still a problem? --] (]) 20:36, 13 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::::I still think it's technically incorrect. The article itself calls it 'The first fully democratic election in Sark in over 450 years', citing . In all of its articles the BBC is using 'first fully democratic'. Even with the 'fully' qualifier I'm not sure it's accurate (since two members are not elected), but I guess we should follow the sources. ] ] 23:21, 13 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
