Slovenian railway referendum, 2017

  • ... that Slovenian voters supported the law governing a Divača-Koper railway link upgrade in a referendum, but the turnout was low? Source: RTVSLO.si (in Slovene)

Created by Tone (talk). Self-nominated at 18:39, 25 September 2017 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Article is new, long enough, and meets policy on neutrality, citations, and plagiarism. The content is interesting, but this interest is not reflected in the rather dull hook. The mere use of a national referendum on something mundane like a railway upgrade is worth a hook by itself, so I'd like to see a different one. QPQ has been completed. SounderBruce 00:10, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
  • Again, it's kind of dull and uninteresting. I'll recuse myself from reviewing and offer this suggestion:
ALT2 ...that only 20.5 percent of Slovenian voters turned in ballots for a railway referendum?
SounderBruce 00:44, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
The whole referendum thing was kind of dull and uninteresting :P But sure, the suggested hook looks fine. I'd add only 20.5 percent. Tone 05:46, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
In that case, how about:
ALT3 ... that this hook is as boring as the 2017 railway referendum was to four out of five Slovenians eligible to vote?
Kpalion(talk) 09:03, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
:D (though I'm afraid it would not pass the verifiability part ... It would likely not even work for April's Fools when the hooks are more light-hearted.) Tone 12:13, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg alt2 sounds interesting enough, the article does say 20.55%. However that figure is not in the supplied reference. So can someone find a reference for that or the total number of voters? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:20, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
    • Template:Ping I updated the reference, the previous one was for preliminary results. These are the final ones. Tone 17:34, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
      • Symbol confirmed.svg OK that reference confirms alt2 and given earlier assessments I will say this good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:10, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg ALT4: ... that a September 2017 Slovenian railway referendum was passed into law after clearing the minimum registered voter threshold by half of one percent? Yoninah (talk) 23:14, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
No, no, this is not the case here. People who set the referendum in motion wanted to repeal the law, which would require them to get both (i) the majority of voters voting no, and (ii) more than 20% of the eligible voters showing up and voting "no". Neither of which happened - the total turnout was just over 20% and the majority voted "yes", meaning that the law was not repealed. Alt2 is fine. Tone 08:08, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg OK. Restoring tick for ALT2. Yoninah (talk) 14:44, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
