Hi @ Arnoutf

Kind request to an update of linked image to include the recent 2023 election. Want to use it in my masters thesis.

Thank you for your contributions!

Sorry I can no longer find the background file (my last version was from 2009(!) when cloud storage did not commonly exist).

I made this graph in Excel. I think I created a timeline (column) with years and copying in the seats for each year in a separate column per party (using years instead of elections allows the bars to vary in width. Then I probably pictured them as stacked bars or similar and hand assigned colours to series and sorted out the legend into 2 column (which was a hassle but doable).

I am not sure how the newer versions were made but I hope in a more efficient way.

Given all this, I currently do not have the time to recreate the file and if TapyrrII is still around it would not make much sense to create a newer version if their version is superior and more efficient. I hope you can make a similar graph yourself (all numbers are taken from Historic composition of the House of Representatives of the Netherlands after 1946 (note the presentation as % which is not trivial as until 1956 there were 100 seats after which it was extended to 150 - so for comparison % rather than seats should be presented).

Although I realise this is not directly what you are looking for, I hope this helps you a bit nevertheless. All the best in finishing your thesis. Arnoutf ( talk) 07:15, 17 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi there! Thanks for all your contributions! I noticed you'd recently done some WikiProject rating and wanted to make sure that under WP:PIQA we're moving to only having the quality ratings in the banner shell rather than for individual projects. Thanks. - Kj cheetham ( talk) 15:26, 16 March 2024 (UTC) reply
