Election percentages

@Ralbegen:, there may be a mistake on this page regarding Amelia Womack and Tamsin Omond's and Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay's vote percentages for the second round. According to this article - https://bright-green.org/2021/10/01/breaking-carla-denyer-and-adrian-ramsay-elected-as-green-party-co-leaders/ - from Bright Green Womack and Omond received 38% of second preference votes, however the infobox currently states 33.8%. It also states that Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay received 62% of second preference votes, as opposed to the 54.4% that is currently stated in the infobox.

Hi @Helper201:, that's how I rendered the figures originally. Another user has replced them with percentages including exhausted ballots. I agree with the numbers Bright Green are using, because the condition for winning the election is a majority of live ballots. I'd be happy for you to change them back to 61.7 / 38.3 in both places and to be considered as part of consensus for those figures! Ralbegen (talk) 19:14, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Description of Graham Linehan's activism

I have taken the decision to revert two edits from 86.24.152.193 and 2A00:23C4:2A01:2801:B8DC:621F:BD05:E56C respectively that changed the description of Graham Linehan from 'anti-transgender activist' to 'women's rights activist'. I took this action as I note that the question of how to refer to Graham Linehan's activism has already been well-discussed on his own article's talk page (see here and here), and consensus has been reached that 'anti-transgender' is the best term. Thus, I considered that it was appropriate of me to revert these edits as the 'revert' stage of the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. The 'discuss' part of that cycle of course invites discussion of that change, so if anyone disagrees with my decision, bearing in mind relevant factors such as the existence of consensus on the Graham Linehan talk page and the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, I believe that Wikipedia policy is that we and any other interested editors should discuss the issue here. Wikipedia's policies on neutral point of view, editing, and edit warring, and the decision by the Arbitration Committee that standard discretionary sanctions are authorised for edits to do with gender and sexuality are particular policies and decisions that I am aware of that may be relevant to any discussion.

Thank you very much for your time, and I promise to do my very best to navigate any discussion with respect, cool-headedness, and in compliance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines,
