Hi, saw your comment here. You might already know but historical maps are all available here on the fantastic website created by User:Pappubahry. Frickeg ( talk) 07:38, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Initial LibStar talkpage message that he removed: Per my edit summary here - you can't seriously think the sentences were untrue. if you didn't, instead of slapping CNs, leaving the article looking a mess when it shouldn't be, why don't you actually redirect that time/energy to adding refs, like in the link?!. Based on your lack of any substantial response in your edit after that, it appears that you really don't care to do it, and much prefer slapping random cite tags to whatever you can find instead of finding and adding refs. I mean, I looked at your last 1,000 contribs, all you do is remove content and add cite needed tags and create AfDs and never actually add to the content of the encyclopedia. Every substantial edit you've made (those in bold), as far as your last 1,000 contribs go, is simply content removal in the minus bold red, as well as creating articles for deletion which is literally one hundred percent of your plus green bolds. CNs and content removals instead of ref finding, and AfD creation, is all you seem to do. It makes your contributions appear negative/content destroying (deletionist) instead of positive/content building. I realise the former is the easier path would attract those with nefarious intent, so how about you try and make an effort to take the harder path - put some effort in to actually improve the encyclopedia for once, LibStar. Timeshift ( talk) 16:25, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
Why do you find it so hard. I've asked you 2 times to stop contacting me. Shows a high degree of agitation and lack of self control on your part. For the 3rd time stop posting on my talk page. You are now pushing harassment. LibStar ( talk) 16:53, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
I think that someone should look through LibStar's contributions and reinstate any verifiable material that he has erroneously deleted only because it did not cite a source (if there is any such material). Whoever does this should of course add references to support the reinstated material. I do not, however, have the time or patience to personally trawl through more than 45,000 edits looking for mistakes, so I won't be the one doing it. LibStar should not be accusing anyone of "agitation" as that is a very nasty personal attack. In this instance it appears entirely unfounded. James500 ( talk) 17:30, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
He may not have been an MP - it's too early in the morning here for me to chase it up individually, but at least at the beginning it was possible to be part of the ministry without it.

I'm uploading a bunch of images on SA politicians at the moment - do you prefer File:AAKirkpatrick.JPG or File:Andrew Kirkpatrick.jpg? I can't decide either way, and since you uploaded the first one I thought I'd ask. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 07:18, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Thanks so much for the feedback about the images. I found a bunch of random images of people I was interested in in a public domain book, and then discovered the State Library's public domain portrait archive, and since I have all this time on my hands over summer it's been a great way of killing time and brightening up these articles we've been working on. I've been really trying to find good quality images and crop them so they look good as portraits rather than just whacking whatever is there in the article. I've got 124 more images still to go in my current batch, and I am...a bit over a third through this collection. I'm enjoying putting faces to all of these names, and it's nice to know it's appreciated!
I am so absolutely not done with SA politics. It's become a bit of an obsession, and I still have a long way to go before I'm happy. My main projects at the moment are adding these images, expanding that batch of stubs you created (which have proven very useful for slowly expanding that content), and I want to go back and tidy up some of the older MP articles so I don't have to delve through ten paragraphs to find out where they sat and when and what offices they held. I'm also periodically delving into the by-elections: I just did West Adelaide state by-election, 1901 and Flinders state by-election, 1901 just the other day to accompany some of my MP rewrites. (Also, I'm going through the former councils so I can tie them in with the MPs who served on them - just did District Council of Orroroo and District Council of Carrieton last night. A lot of obituaries love to oh-so-helpfully go "Joe Bloggs was the local mayor for some time way back in the day" so these serve multiple purposes.) I've stopped on the state ministries for a while but I'm still making my way through them (with some help from User:Linkqer), and I also really want to finish my so-incomplete Lang Labor Party (South Australia) and break out state articles on the 1917 and 1931 splits to explain SA's particular flavours of carnage there.
The maps, I'm afraid, I can't help with: I have absolutely zero talent at that. I'm also better at more specific topics than really broad ones, but creating government articles is something I'm open to doing, especially with some help. I've just discovered the State Library of WA's spectacular clearinghouse for discarded books (I bought 50 on the first go), so when I pick up some SA-specific content I'll probably be able to do more there. (This is also why I might be mildly useful on 1943 - I grabbed a lengthy history of the Nats and a bio of Harold Holt that might reference that election, and they had umpteen books on Menzies which I didn't know I'd want to read but could always go back for in a few days.)
Plenty to go yet! Thanks for the message - I really appreciate the feedback. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 15:05, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Hey, I created stubs on the missing early SA elections so we could fill them in over time and link them up with the content we do have, but I'm finding Trove incredibly frustrating for those early elections: it seems all the media (including the Adelaide press) covered the races at an individual electorate level and gave bugger all (or at least that I can find) easy useful coverage of the election as a whole. If you get a chance sometime, even just some small edits could brighten up those stubs a lot. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 13:05, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I see you reverted my change to Liz Penfold quoting the MOS. Can you point me to the relevant section please? The reason I ask is that having an image ahead of any texts causes problems when interfacing from Wikimeida Commons; this caused the MOS to be changed some years ago and I'm concerned that it may have been changed back without anyone realising the consequences. Best Wishes S a g a C i t y ( talk) 15:43, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for drawing that to my attention. As I hope is obvious from my edit history, that revert from me was not at all intentional. It is of course vandalism and I did not put that back on purpose. Apologies for not paying close enough attention. Vaze50 ( talk) 12:00, 7 Aprizl 2016 (UTC)
Consensus was clearly established for the new infoboxes on the 2015 and 2020 UK election articles. There is an ongoing discussion for the 2015 article about changing that. You are very welcome to input into that discussion, but you should not WP:EDITWAR. You should establish consensus to change before imposing changes. This is standard Wikipedia policy.

Hi - could you explain your reversion of Template:Timeline Australian PM Horizontal? I thought my version (with multiple terms for the same PM on the same line) was more informative - it shows much more clearly, for instance, the multiple terms of Deakin and Fisher. Thanks, LookLook36 ( talk) 12:38, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
No problem, thank you Timeshift I'll rework that section on Keating and East Timor so that it respects more WP:NPOV and WP:BALANCE. I agree, it needs more references to support both points of view. Thanks for the advice, cheers Deathlibrarian ( talk) 05:14, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
Cheers, I've just reinserted that section on Mr Keating and East Timor. It's now been rewritten to observe WP:NPOV, WP:BALANCE, WP:BLP and WP:NEUTRAL - thanks Timeshift for highlighting that. Hopefully it is a lot more balanced now (oh, and changed the title). Please do not remove until it has been discussed on the talk page, so as to avoid another add and revert. I've added in about 4 articles that offer the opposing viewpoints, I may try to find more if people think it doesn't meet WP:NEUTRAL. IMHO a lot better to include this here, as opposed to it having it's own page in a larger article, or include with an article about Australia's role with East Timor generally. Please feel free to tidy up or to add more articles if you can find them. Deathlibrarian ( talk) 09:03, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
I would ask that you cease from threatening me in such a manner, I've tried to be polite here. You yourself indicated the section had NPOV issues. I've gone to a lot of trouble to fix those, and without discussion, you have removed the section. As you won't discuss it, I'll be raising this as a dispute with the admins. Deathlibrarian ( talk) 09:18, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi Nick-D - I am more than happy to include better references, but as you know, Wikipedia certainly accepts newspaper and journal articles as proper sources. As for whether Mr Keating's policy was actually right or wrong, that's not really what I am here for, I just want to reflect that certainly some people saw issues at the time (and I guess some still do). Deathlibrarian ( talk) 09:18, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

…to give a woolly rat's bum over this election. I like Bill better than Mal, TBH. Malcolm could have been a bit more pro-active in changing Abbot's direction. "Steady as she goes!" is not the clarion call the Titanic needs.
Speaking of Clive Palmer, I'm finding the US election vastly entertaining, which is probably why Trump has done so well, clowns getting more eyeball views than pundits in the eyes of the media beancounters.
The ACT election looks likely to be a bit more fun than this one, moobs aside. The tram is going to be the big issue, and everyone is just waiting to kick Labor in the nuts over this Green-inspired lunacy. -- Pete ( talk) 22:38, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

While you are correct to warn whoever is using this account that their conduct could cause problems, stating that you will report them to the media can be seen as a threat, including of WP:OUTING. I am sure that you did not mean for it to be seen as such, but similar posts have led to the people making them being blocked in the past.

"While the winner of federal elections usually wins a majority of the seats in New South Wales, this federal election is unusual in that nearly half of all marginal government seats are in NSW; nearly half of these are in Western Sydney and the other half in rural and regional areas of the state, with no more than a few seats in contention in each of the other states."
But going by what you say, this would be in order:
"The winner of federal elections usually wins a majority of the seats in New South Wales, a state that apparently holds the key to the upcoming election: nearly half of all marginal government seats are in NSW; nearly half of these are in Western Sydney and the other half in rural and regional areas of the state, with no more than a few seats in contention in each of the other states."

My ANI reply: I can't believe this contributor is so one-eyed! I am disputing the changes considering their repeatedly mischievous and increasingly POINTy past-few-days-of-history with the article (see article edit summaries and article talk page contributions - ensure when doing this everything is noted rather than skim-reading it and forming a potentially misguided conclusion). As their changes are disputed they require a consensus. If they believe their intentions have been and shown to be consistently pure and they have displayed required valid corrections, then perhaps they should wonder why after all this time, still nobody else has come along and agreed with them yet. Where's the consensus replies from other contributors that they believe they deserve? "Build it and they will come"... or WP:DONTBEADICK and they will come? Clearly they have not convinced anyone... perhaps they should reflect on their behaviour as to why this is. Their initial attempts to make changes were met with evidence to the contrary, having to correct them around six separate times for six separate wikipedia guidelines! It is clear that once this decade-long user experienced six guideline corrections in a row, they increasingly turned POINTy. Again, to anyone who looks in to this, I implore them to read the article edit summaries and article talk page contributions to see how much this user continued to change trajectory after each guideline correction. Massive glass jaw/pride it would seem... it's clear they just cannot handle being corrected, particularly repeatedly. If they're right, they would get that consensus and this would all go away. So they should ask themselves why that hasn't and isn't happening...? Timeshift ( talk) 04:16, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Mike Rann. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Dane2007 talk 04:23, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

They are relevant facts. It is misleading to say it was "consistent with convention" while failing to mention that it goes against two bipartisan senate resolutions agreeing to changing that convention. The only reason for mentioning that it was consistent with convention is to legitimise the decision, especially if you then insist we must not mention the resolutions.

Hi, was just looking at the Preferred PM and satisfaction table, and wondering just what the relationship is between the two sets of stats. Do you know of any work done on it (there must be a long history of the stats by now)? Turnbull–Shorten preferred were 43–31% in the last Newspoll, but 41–26% in Essential—quite a difference for Shorten. But then you look at the corresponding satisfied–dissatisfied for each leader: satisfied was virtually the same between the polls for both, but dissatisfied 9 or 10 points less for both. I'm presuming the companies ask more-or-less the same questions of their respondents. Tony (talk) 13:37, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

I noticed that you made this change on a few pages. What was your thinking? Superegz ( talk) 22:29, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
Article history has previously had 'green'. There is no consensus for an 's' (or no s either) as you claim. You eventually admitted both were correct yet you still think its worth multiple reverts when no consensus exists? Why not let the next 24 hours of community discussion figure it out? As to why you feel the need to engage in false consensus claim reverts over such a tiny technicality with such fast-pased gusto seems unusual. There is no consensus either way - or both have consensus - really, think about the tiny nature of what you seem to find so abhorrent. With and without the s is and has been used on wikipedia, countless media outlets, and in countless greens.org.au web pages. So why make it such an immediate problem requiring an immediate revert when it seems such a universal non-issue to everyone, not which of least the actual party...? Please take a step back and reflect on the universally interchangeable use by everyone. Timeshift ( talk) 08:23, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
I'll take a look over the weekend - a bit swamped until then. It's kind of a bit early for a candidates article, more than a year out from the election, but I suppose there's no real harm in it as long as we keep an eye on it. (And I didn't realise there was such an exodus brewing!) Frickeg ( talk) 07:19, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
I've mostly whipped it into line, I think. It still needs a redistribution summary and seats changing thing but I think I'll wait until they dismiss the ALP's challenge to the new boundaries for that. In a concession to the prematureness of the article, I have left inline citations for the time being, which can be removed later when we have a single candidate list to link to.
The 2018 article is looking in good shape! I'm assuming that's mostly down to you. I have one small issue that I wanted to raise, though (I am not sure that this was you at all but since you've done most of the article) - would you agree that there is currently a bit too much on the whole redistribution process? In particular I am thinking about the "Redistributions and the two-party vote" section, which is vastly undercited and also kind of a bit soapboxy in places, as well as mostly irrelevant to the election at hand. Would you object if I trimmed it down to, say, two paragraphs (from its current 8), or even eliminated it altogether and merged the few useful points into the pendulum part? I also wonder if the stuff about Sanderson/Adelaide in the pendulum section might be trimmed - it's much better cited and written, but is still a sizeable paragraph about a very minor kind of thing that happens every single redistribution. The record number of submissions of course deserves a mention, but I would think the whole thing could be adequately summarised much more succinctly. Frickeg ( talk) 06:33, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

I'm grumbling because it took me so long to work out what you'd done. (I'm not grumbling with what you did. In fact, I think what you did was "an improvement" and is "a good thing".) I'm grumbling for two reasons, but my primary reason is that an edit comment of "fix" is no more informative than no edit comment at all. Yeah yeah, I know, I'm just a grumpy old man, and it's not entirely your fault that it took me so long to work it out, but never-the-less, that's not going to stop me grumbling.

You've uploaded images under the same licence, that's how I learned about their licensing arrangements? Ivar the Boneful ( talk) 16:42, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

I have been doing some research on Wikipedia and your name kept popping up in article history making the same biased and malicious edits, going back several years. And also mysterious anonymous editors making the exact same changes …. Hmm, what a funny coincidence. I see that thankfully most of your work has already been undone, but rest assured that I will be monitoring you to make sure the same doesn’t happen again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tesandjo ( talk • contribs) 12:10, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Timeshift9.
I recently sent you an invitation to join NPP, but you also might be the right candidate for another related project,
AfC, which is also extremely backlogged. |
Hi. In
this edit you wrote "Seats listed are those which equivalently polled above the state average".
I don't understand what "equivalently polled above the state average" means. Equivalent to what? State average for what?
Could you clarify the sentence please? Thanks in advance,

Hi, I noticed your edit https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Electoral_district_of_Adelaide&curid=3673541&diff=832452379&oldid=832435379 where you removed the section about Walkerville (suburb) being redistributed from Adelaide (electoral district).

if you take a look at the submissions, you would indeed know that over 100 of the record 130 submissions were about this.
First, it was me who wrote "over 100" - [2]. As this was uncited, and I thought counting them would be WP:OR, I changed it to say "numerous". Yes, I did look at the submissions. No I don't know that over 100 of them are about this.

Yes, subsequently. First of all, you're assuming bad faith, I ask you not. They all technically resigned on the 10th, but Sharkie's only was effective from the 11th.

Invitation to critique talkpage entry “Re Barrow” at Talk:2017–18 Australian parliamentary eligibility crisis. DCBarrow ( talk) 09:19, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
DCBarrow: "removing Timeshift9 comments which misunderstand Part XIV of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918"? So you think that if a user's comments "misunderstand" an Electoral Act, then that is a justified reason to remove their wikipedia comments? And then "Notwithstanding WP:IAR If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it"? So you think that keeping your self-aggrandising comments on article talk pages, of which is completely off-topic and irrelevant to the article, improves wikipedia and is a case of WP:IAR? Wow... I hope it is in jest, because just one of those, let alone both, are near the top of the most baffling and bizarre claims i've seen in my 10+ years on here. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so bizarre! Trying to set a new benchmark of electoral fringe cruft? Perhaps if your life wasn't so consumed with battling [3] [4] Antony Green, Andrew Bolt (i'd say that one could actually start to understand Bolt's broken Tonka toy mentality, but that is giving you too much credit), wikipedia users - and anything that draws a shadow - you might be able to achieve the electoral relevance that you purport to desire. Timeshift ( talk) 10:45, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
If I may disagree with User:Timeshift9 on one thing, it is that this is both bizarre AND hilarious. I can only wait in anticipation for what happens next, but obviously the talk page entries of other people on talk pages other than your own can't be deleted merely because you disagree with them or even if they are saying something wrong. In light of that, deleting comments on your own talk page is probably not the best idea, but that's your right. It's still in history though. Onetwothreeip ( talk) 11:28, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Just to clarify, it isn't neutral to suggest that the Liberals are freely choosing not to contest them, it's their spin that they are "concentrating" resources on the Darling Range by-election, whether that's right or not. Other observers, particularly their opposition of course, have a different view. Therefore a neutral take is needed, simply saying they are not contesting X and Y but have contested Z, if it's even necessary to say so at all. Onetwothreeip ( talk) 01:12, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Initial LibStar talkpage message that he removed: Per my edit summary here - you can't seriously think the sentences were untrue. if you didn't, instead of slapping CNs, leaving the article looking a mess when it shouldn't be, why don't you actually redirect that time/energy to adding refs, like in the link?!. Based on your lack of any substantial response in your edit after that, it appears that you really don't care to do it, and much prefer slapping random cite tags to whatever you can find instead of finding and adding refs. I mean, I looked at your last 1,000 contribs, all you do is remove content and add cite needed tags and create AfDs and never actually add to the content of the encyclopedia. Every substantial edit you've made (those in bold), as far as your last 1,000 contribs go, is simply content removal in the minus bold red, as well as creating articles for deletion which is literally one hundred percent of your plus green bolds. CNs and content removals instead of ref finding, and AfD creation, is all you seem to do. It makes your contributions appear negative/content destroying (deletionist) instead of positive/content building. I realise the former is the easier path would attract those with nefarious intent, so how about you try and make an effort to take the harder path - put some effort in to actually improve the encyclopedia for once, LibStar. Timeshift ( talk) 16:25, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

I think that someone should look through LibStar's contributions and reinstate any verifiable material that he has erroneously deleted only because it did not cite a source (if there is any such material). Whoever does this should of course add references to support the reinstated material. I do not, however, have the time or patience to personally trawl through more than 45,000 edits looking for mistakes, so I won't be the one doing it. LibStar should not be accusing anyone of "agitation" as that is a very nasty personal attack. In this instance it appears entirely unfounded. James500 ( talk) 17:30, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm uploading a bunch of images on SA politicians at the moment - do you prefer File:AAKirkpatrick.JPG or File:Andrew Kirkpatrick.jpg? I can't decide either way, and since you uploaded the first one I thought I'd ask. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 07:18, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Thanks so much for the feedback about the images. I found a bunch of random images of people I was interested in in a public domain book, and then discovered the State Library's public domain portrait archive, and since I have all this time on my hands over summer it's been a great way of killing time and brightening up these articles we've been working on. I've been really trying to find good quality images and crop them so they look good as portraits rather than just whacking whatever is there in the article. I've got 124 more images still to go in my current batch, and I am...a bit over a third through this collection. I'm enjoying putting faces to all of these names, and it's nice to know it's appreciated!
I am so absolutely not done with SA politics. It's become a bit of an obsession, and I still have a long way to go before I'm happy. My main projects at the moment are adding these images, expanding that batch of stubs you created (which have proven very useful for slowly expanding that content), and I want to go back and tidy up some of the older MP articles so I don't have to delve through ten paragraphs to find out where they sat and when and what offices they held. I'm also periodically delving into the by-elections: I just did West Adelaide state by-election, 1901 and Flinders state by-election, 1901 just the other day to accompany some of my MP rewrites. (Also, I'm going through the former councils so I can tie them in with the MPs who served on them - just did District Council of Orroroo and District Council of Carrieton last night. A lot of obituaries love to oh-so-helpfully go "Joe Bloggs was the local mayor for some time way back in the day" so these serve multiple purposes.) I've stopped on the state ministries for a while but I'm still making my way through them (with some help from User:Linkqer), and I also really want to finish my so-incomplete Lang Labor Party (South Australia) and break out state articles on the 1917 and 1931 splits to explain SA's particular flavours of carnage there.
The maps, I'm afraid, I can't help with: I have absolutely zero talent at that. I'm also better at more specific topics than really broad ones, but creating government articles is something I'm open to doing, especially with some help. I've just discovered the State Library of WA's spectacular clearinghouse for discarded books (I bought 50 on the first go), so when I pick up some SA-specific content I'll probably be able to do more there. (This is also why I might be mildly useful on 1943 - I grabbed a lengthy history of the Nats and a bio of Harold Holt that might reference that election, and they had umpteen books on Menzies which I didn't know I'd want to read but could always go back for in a few days.)
Plenty to go yet! Thanks for the message - I really appreciate the feedback. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 15:05, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Hey, I created stubs on the missing early SA elections so we could fill them in over time and link them up with the content we do have, but I'm finding Trove incredibly frustrating for those early elections: it seems all the media (including the Adelaide press) covered the races at an individual electorate level and gave bugger all (or at least that I can find) easy useful coverage of the election as a whole. If you get a chance sometime, even just some small edits could brighten up those stubs a lot. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 13:05, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

The reason I ask is that having an image ahead of any texts causes problems when interfacing from Wikimeida Commons; this caused the MOS to be changed some years ago and I'm concerned that it may have been changed back without anyone realising the consequences.

Thank you for drawing that to my attention. As I hope is obvious from my edit history, that revert from me was not at all intentional. It is of course vandalism and I did not put that back on purpose. Apologies for not paying close enough attention. Vaze50 ( talk) 12:00, 7 Aprizl 2016 (UTC)
Consensus was clearly established for the new infoboxes on the 2015 and 2020 UK election articles. There is an ongoing discussion for the 2015 article about changing that. You are very welcome to input into that discussion, but you should not WP:EDITWAR. You should establish consensus to change before imposing changes. This is standard Wikipedia policy.

Hi - could you explain your reversion of Template:Timeline Australian PM Horizontal?

No problem, thank you Timeshift I'll rework that section on Keating and East Timor so that it respects more WP:NPOV and WP:BALANCE. I agree, it needs more references to support both points of view. Thanks for the advice, cheers Deathlibrarian ( talk) 05:14, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
Cheers, I've just reinserted that section on Mr Keating and East Timor. It's now been rewritten to observe WP:NPOV, WP:BALANCE, WP:BLP and WP:NEUTRAL - thanks Timeshift for highlighting that. Hopefully it is a lot more balanced now (oh, and changed the title). Please do not remove until it has been discussed on the talk page, so as to avoid another add and revert. I've added in about 4 articles that offer the opposing viewpoints, I may try to find more if people think it doesn't meet WP:NEUTRAL. IMHO a lot better to include this here, as opposed to it having it's own page in a larger article, or include with an article about Australia's role with East Timor generally. Please feel free to tidy up or to add more articles if you can find them. Deathlibrarian ( talk) 09:03, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
I would ask that you cease from threatening me in such a manner, I've tried to be polite here. You yourself indicated the section had NPOV issues. I've gone to a lot of trouble to fix those, and without discussion, you have removed the section. As you won't discuss it, I'll be raising this as a dispute with the admins. Deathlibrarian ( talk) 09:18, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi Nick-D - I am more than happy to include better references, but as you know, Wikipedia certainly accepts newspaper and journal articles as proper sources. As for whether Mr Keating's policy was actually right or wrong, that's not really what I am here for, I just want to reflect that certainly some people saw issues at the time (and I guess some still do).

…to give a woolly rat's bum over this election. I like Bill better than Mal, TBH. Malcolm could have been a bit more pro-active in changing Abbot's direction. "Steady as she goes!" is not the clarion call the Titanic needs.
Speaking of Clive Palmer, I'm finding the US election vastly entertaining, which is probably why Trump has done so well, clowns getting more eyeball views than pundits in the eyes of the media beancounters.
The ACT election looks likely to be a bit more fun than this one, moobs aside. The tram is going to be the big issue, and everyone is just waiting to kick Labor in the nuts over this Green-inspired lunacy. -- Pete ( talk) 22:38, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

My ANI reply: I can't believe this contributor is so one-eyed! I am disputing the changes considering their repeatedly mischievous and increasingly POINTy past-few-days-of-history with the article (see article edit summaries and article talk page contributions - ensure when doing this everything is noted rather than skim-reading it and forming a potentially misguided conclusion). As their changes are disputed they require a consensus. If they believe their intentions have been and shown to be consistently pure and they have displayed required valid corrections, then perhaps they should wonder why after all this time, still nobody else has come along and agreed with them yet. Where's the consensus replies from other contributors that they believe they deserve? "Build it and they will come"... or WP:DONTBEADICK and they will come? Clearly they have not convinced anyone... perhaps they should reflect on their behaviour as to why this is. Their initial attempts to make changes were met with evidence to the contrary, having to correct them around six separate times for six separate wikipedia guidelines! It is clear that once this decade-long user experienced six guideline corrections in a row, they increasingly turned POINTy. Again, to anyone who looks in to this, I implore them to read the article edit summaries and article talk page contributions to see how much this user continued to change trajectory after each guideline correction. Massive glass jaw/pride it would seem... it's clear they just cannot handle being corrected, particularly repeatedly. If they're right, they would get that consensus and this would all go away. So they should ask themselves why that hasn't and isn't happening...? Timeshift ( talk) 04:16, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Mike Rann. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Dane2007 talk 04:23, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

They are relevant facts. It is misleading to say it was "consistent with convention" while failing to mention that it goes against two bipartisan senate resolutions agreeing to changing that convention. The only reason for mentioning that it was consistent with convention is to legitimise the decision, especially if you then insist we must not mention the resolutions.

Hi, was just looking at the Preferred PM and satisfaction table, and wondering just what the relationship is between the two sets of stats. Do you know of any work done on it (there must be a long history of the stats by now)? Turnbull–Shorten preferred were 43–31% in the last Newspoll, but 41–26% in Essential—quite a difference for Shorten. But then you look at the corresponding satisfied–dissatisfied for each leader: satisfied was virtually the same between the polls for both, but dissatisfied 9 or 10 points less for both. I'm presuming the companies ask more-or-less the same questions of their respondents. Tony (talk) 13:37, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

I noticed that you made this change on a few pages. What was your thinking? Superegz ( talk) 22:29, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
Article history has previously had 'green'. There is no consensus for an 's' (or no s either) as you claim. You eventually admitted both were correct yet you still think its worth multiple reverts when no consensus exists? Why not let the next 24 hours of community discussion figure it out? As to why you feel the need to engage in false consensus claim reverts over such a tiny technicality with such fast-pased gusto seems unusual. There is no consensus either way - or both have consensus - really, think about the tiny nature of what you seem to find so abhorrent. With and without the s is and has been used on wikipedia, countless media outlets, and in countless greens.org.au web pages. So why make it such an immediate problem requiring an immediate revert when it seems such a universal non-issue to everyone, not which of least the actual party...? Please take a step back and reflect on the universally interchangeable use by everyone. Timeshift ( talk) 08:23, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
I'll take a look over the weekend - a bit swamped until then. It's kind of a bit early for a candidates article, more than a year out from the election, but I suppose there's no real harm in it as long as we keep an eye on it. (And I didn't realise there was such an exodus brewing!) Frickeg ( talk) 07:19, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
I've mostly whipped it into line, I think. It still needs a redistribution summary and seats changing thing but I think I'll wait until they dismiss the ALP's challenge to the new boundaries for that. In a concession to the prematureness of the article, I have left inline citations for the time being, which can be removed later when we have a single candidate list to link to.
The 2018 article is looking in good shape! I'm assuming that's mostly down to you. I have one small issue that I wanted to raise, though (I am not sure that this was you at all but since you've done most of the article) - would you agree that there is currently a bit too much on the whole redistribution process? In particular I am thinking about the "Redistributions and the two-party vote" section, which is vastly undercited and also kind of a bit soapboxy in places, as well as mostly irrelevant to the election at hand. Would you object if I trimmed it down to, say, two paragraphs (from its current 8), or even eliminated it altogether and merged the few useful points into the pendulum part? I also wonder if the stuff about Sanderson/Adelaide in the pendulum section might be trimmed - it's much better cited and written, but is still a sizeable paragraph about a very minor kind of thing that happens every single redistribution. The record number of submissions of course deserves a mention, but I would think the whole thing could be adequately summarised much more succinctly. Frickeg ( talk) 06:33, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

So you think that keeping your self-aggrandising comments on article talk pages, of which is completely off-topic and irrelevant to the article, improves wikipedia and is a case of WP:IAR? Wow... I hope it is in jest, because just one of those, let alone both, are near the top of the most baffling and bizarre claims i've seen in my 10+ years on here. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so bizarre! Trying to set a new benchmark of electoral fringe cruft? Perhaps if your life wasn't so consumed with battling [3] [4] Antony Green, Andrew Bolt (i'd say that one could actually start to understand Bolt's broken Tonka toy mentality, but that is giving you too much credit), wikipedia users - and anything that draws a shadow - you might be able to achieve the electoral relevance that you purport to desire.

If I may disagree with User:Timeshift9 on one thing, it is that this is both bizarre AND hilarious. I can only wait in anticipation for what happens next, but obviously the talk page entries of other people on talk pages other than your own can't be deleted merely because you disagree with them or even if they are saying something wrong. In light of that, deleting comments on your own talk page is probably not the best idea, but that's your right. It's still in history though. Onetwothreeip ( talk) 11:28, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Just to clarify, it isn't neutral to suggest that the Liberals are freely choosing not to contest them, it's their spin that they are "concentrating" resources on the Darling Range by-election, whether that's right or not. Other observers, particularly their opposition of course, have a different view. Therefore a neutral take is needed, simply saying they are not contesting X and Y but have contested Z, if it's even necessary to say so at all. Onetwothreeip ( talk) 01:12, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:FrankWalsh.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:18, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
If you click on the question mark on the top right corner of the results tables on the AEC tally room pages (e.g. Braddon), it says "These results are final." for Braddon, Longman, Fremantle and Perth, but not Mayo. -- Canley ( talk) 07:00, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
I put in something, but I am a bit exhausted by the debate on that page. I care, but the infobox really is not that big a deal. Frickeg ( talk) 11:06, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

@ Timeshift9:. I'm not going to continue to edit war with you because I'd rather not risk a ban myself. Congratulations, your stubborn pursuit means that at least for a while, the Wentworth by-election page will go unedited from me. I feel I've done all I can to stand up for a basic, common-sense position. There's a RFC and ANI open now, so hopefully some others come along and if I, Impru20 and Onetwothreeip can't entice you to rationally step back from beating the dead horse, maybe someone else will.

If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Sounds very vaguely familiar, but I don't recall this happening in the infoboxes for the last couple of (federal or state) elections. It could be one of those experiments where I or someone else did a mockup on a talk page or sandbox, but never really followed through with it? I'll let you know if I find anything... -- Canley ( talk) 07:54, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
You're looking at the old Tally Room page. When the results are finalised, AEC switches from the Virtual Tally Room to a Results page https://results.aec.gov.au/22844/Website/HouseDivisionPage-22844-152.htm which says the results are final. The Results page is now linked from the AEC home page. -- Canley ( talk) 20:27, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
No, I think it's missing. I believe I started the results lists for King and Black during the SA election, and Gibson a month ago, but not that one. -- Canley ( talk) 02:47, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
Hey, I've undone your edits on the upper house. The ABC computer is calling things off an incomplete, unrepresentative count, as Kevin Bonham makes clear here. Sorry if I caught some legitimate edits in there but I already had to undo all of this stuff twice. Frickeg ( talk) 20:19, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
