Request input on comparative government topic: Creating 'branches of government' to de-clutter 'separation of powers'

Hi!

'Branches of government' is currently a redirect to separation of powers. I think readers and editors would be better served by the development of 'branches of government' (or a similarly named article) as a separate topic.

A descriptive, empirical taxonomy of institutional divisions of different countries' governments is a worthwhile endeavor in comparative government. But it is such a large topic on its own that it seriously unbalances and unduly lengthens the article on separation of powers. I would like to re-focus the latter article on the principle propounded by political philosophers, its reception by constitutions, and its technical implementation in constitutional law.

Of course, the principle of separating powers is the reason for the existence of different arms of government; but I think the two subjects need to be notionally distinguished. All the more so since their conflation is, to my mind, at the root of the poor quality (start class) of the 'separation of powers' article.

There is certainly a lot of interest in the institutional structure and in branches of government as a topic—just see the recent AfC request for a separate 'executive branch of the United States federal government' article. I think 'branches of government' is definitely deserving and capable of being its own article.

What do you think? I'd be glad of your input on my proposal (at the separation of powers talk page). §§ LegFun §§ talk §§ 21:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Officeholder tables

Hello, I'd be interested in hearing your opinions concerning officeholder tables. There is some difference of opinion concerning placement of elections in tables. As I see it, tables should follow a logical structure. Going from most common/important information to least common/important information, to allow readers to consistency across all officeholder tables. Across all officeholder tables you can expect the central information of NAME and some type of DATES. This is in principale the only information needed, everything else is used to expand and explain these two pieces of information.

Name	Dates
Bob	1910-1930
Jeff	1930-1950

All political tables will include political party, and only some of them will include elections. Hence it makes sense to have the layout follow this logic. Otherwise, you end up with pages like List of presidents of the Dominican Republic, List of heads of state of Ghana and List of heads of state of Sierra Leone, where every table changes layout from the pervious. With inconsistency across all officeholder tables. @Friendlyhistorian: has a different opinion, but I will let him make his own points. I look forward to hearing your opinions.

Request for review: Transparency International e.V. – insufficient sources / questionable allegations

On the English Transparency International e.V. wiki talk page I have flagged unverified claims and questionable allegations against a living person. I am now writing here, as unfortunately no review of this section has happened during the last months, and I am hoping that someone from this Wiki Project has the interest and the resources to take a look at it.

Help with Comstock Act Page

The Comstock Act is in the news (with regards to mifepristone and abortion) (and listed as a top page right now) but the page needs a lot of help! It is very contentious and it would be VERY helpful to have some editors participate! Shaftesbury'sPipe (talk) 17:20, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Infobox legislative election suggested edit

Hi editors. I have started a discussion at Template talk:Infobox legislative election#Suggested changes to change possible row headers for future election, suggesting an edit that would allow any page using Template:Infobox legislative election for a future election to say "seats at dissolution" or list the number of seats won at the last election when the "ongoing" parameter in the template is set to "yes". --TedEdwards 18:55, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Requesting assistance editing Ohio State University protest article.

I recently created an article detailing the college protests at Ohio State University. After this article was made extended-protected, I lost my ability to edit the article because I do not have EP permissions. Substantial details are missing from this article, so until I regain my permissions, I have been adding suggestions to the talk page of this article. But no one has been implementing my suggestions on the talk page, despite the fact they are supported by multiple sources and add significant missing details from the article.

If members of this community could please visit the talk page of this article and implement my requested changes, this would be deeply appreciated. Thank you! Onlineone22 (talk) 19:18, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Economic imperialism

Hi, I've created a draft at Draft:Economic imperialism as this seems to be a big omission in wikipedia's coverage, and was wondering whether anyone would be interested in collaborating to write and structure it, including defining scope and gathering sources. Economic imperialism currently links to Theory of imperialism. Alexanderkowal (talk) 11:25, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
