re Universal Metering Interface (UMI)

This looks to be just advertising for Cambridge Consultants, not a worthwhile article. I have nominasted it for deletion via WP:PROD. If you contest this it you may remove the PROD, but unless you improve the article it will be deleted soon enough anyway. Herostratus (talk) 16:04, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Take Back Parliament

Hi. Are you sure that Take Back Parliament is notable enough for Wikipedia? It smacks a bit of recentism.Wereon (talk) 01:12, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

I think so:

1. It looks likely that Electoral Reform will be a major issue in the formation (or non-formation) of any coalition
2. While TBP may not have had a direct effect on the negotiations, it serves to illustrate public sentiment

There is also some some speculation (see updates at 10:23am, 10:59am) that Brown and Clegg may themselves be using the 'purple' symbolism. I accept this is pretty tenuous at the moment which is why I haven't added anything to the article yet. Regardless, I think this is an important part of the political context around the election.

Do you think it ought to go into the main election article? I thought that it didn't quite seem to fit there. Saajan (talk) 10:42, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm just concerned that it's not received sufficient news coverage (as distinct from comment articles). Perhaps you should ask on the WikiProject talk page. Wereon (talk) 11:23, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Electoral reform is still a live issue, even after the General Election and the formation of a coalition government. It seems to me that not just the Liberal Democrats are penalized by the current system. We are all, whatever our views, forced to see politics in a class-based way, as a battle between Tory toffs and Labour lefties. This is no way to organize politics in a supposedly advanced country in the second decade of the 21st century. I noted that observers from Sierra Leone and Kenya said that elections were more balanced and more well organised in their countries than in the UK. 217.41.240.15 (talk) 15:21, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Its the biggest UK suffrage movement since the suffragettes and has collected over 54,000 signatures for a supportive refferendum in a little over a weak. That makes it notable with or without media coverage. Never the less it has been covered all over the main stream media. Barnaby dawson (talk) 12:01, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:UMI-AW-001 blue2 v1.0.svg)

Thanks for uploading File:UMI-AW-001 blue2 v1.0.svg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:41, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
