My edit count. Backup if not working. 1,038 watchlist articles and counting.

There is no cabal. Mmmm, cabal...

Oops. Looks like a mistake on my part, sincere apologies. Majorly (talk) 22:54, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Preferential voting tip

Preferential voting is almost worth an article in itself, considering less than 5% of Australians use their preferences. The other 95% vote above the line. If you vote below the line you are confronted with the myriad of 70 or so candidates which all have to be numbered. Here's my tip: It's much easier to decide who you don't like. Start at the bottom, list the politicians you despise most, then work your way up the list! Cheers, Lester 00:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

It has one Preferential Voting.

Telling...

It's quite telling that you feel that you need to delete anyone who disagrees with you from you talk page.

Once again, thanks for the link. I'm sorry you don't want me to communicate with you, that you have a problem with me, because I don't have a problem with you.

Reverting?

You say here, I've reverted the content on the page. This can't be true, I've not edited the page once! :S Regards, Rudget.talk 18:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Ah..ok! Thanks for replying. Rudget.talk 18:45, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

"keeping lead sentence seperate per liberal page"

Excuse me, what exactly are you doing? -- Cat 07:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Keeping it uniform with Liberal Party of Australia, of course. And what are you doing? Timeshift (talk) 07:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I am editing an article that has a broken sentences as lead. Both articles suffer from the same problem. Is this "uniformness" based on consensus? If so where was this discussed? WP:REVERT#Do not is pretty clear why non-vandalism reverts should generally be avoided. I strongly suggest you try not to make reverts especially if there is no pressing reason to revert. Also your statement does not explain why you restored the internal article link. -- Cat 09:30, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I am editing an article that has a broken sentences as lead. does not make sense. The lead of the article does, and has stood the test of time. The first sentence states in the shortest way possible, what the subject is. At the core of the Australian Labor Party and the Liberal Party of Australia, they are both an Australian political party. Simple. Timeshift (talk) 09:51, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Here's a good page for you to work on

I came across this, and in the spirit of USA Congressional staff edits to Misplaced Pages, you might want to create an article cited with this type of reference? Timeshift 07:58, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Hehehe. Who could they be? I did ask some people, but they weren't very forthcoming.Lester 14:23, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Election results tables

I do indeed plan to do them all again with the new results - probably in the school holidays. I'll also be busy creating separate results pages for each electorate rather than cluttering up the main page with past results. Busy (but exciting and, given the election's results, deeply satisfying) times ahead! Frickeg 09:52, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Help please re KR

Please back me up here (in my argument about the family section)— I'm not soliciting votes, because I know you agree with what I'm saying here - there are plenty of others who support my proposal for a separate family section through which we can expand the article. There is only one person opposed and yet I am the one, according to Brendan, who is supposed to "achieve consensus" - this makes absolutely no sense and seems very unfair. I've already had two other users treat me like rubbish elsewhere because they wanted to impose their own agenda on the article no matter what anyone else thought, and I'm feeling the same way here.

Stamp

Here's a stamp from the Faroe Islands for you! Stamps from the Faroe Islands somehow promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving something friendly to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Make your own message to spread WikiLove to others! Happy editing! —Preceding miss-signed comment added by Vatomanocu (talk • contribs)

Aussie

We aren't racists and follow policy, ha! Therequiembellishere (talk) 01:47, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying things Timeshift. I nearly misconstrude the non-Australians thing. Anyways, I'm thinking perhaps Elections & Head of State should be removed from all PM infoboxes (constitutional monarchies & republican PMs) on Misplaced Pages. GoodDay (talk) 02:15, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

It's on my mind, that doesn't mean I'll succeed of course. Misplaced Pages is a very big encylopedia. GoodDay (talk) 02:23, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Australian federal election, 2007 November 24, 2007.

The Australian federal election, 2007 says in its first sentence the election was conducted on November 24, 2007.
Perhaps the article is incorrect, and the new PM should not have been sworn in?
-- Yellowdesk (talk) 04:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

What is your point. All of the seats have been declared. What is unfinished? -- Yellowdesk (talk) 04:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Fantastic image!

But! What is the source?! :P Timeshift (talk) 23:32, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

do you feel like emailing me to discuss?Lester 23:35, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

It should work. You may have to add yours in your preferences. You could always create a new one.Lester 00:02, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. Maybe my fault. Try again :) Lester 00:22, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

Just a suggestion, per the comment you left on the talk page of the IP that blanked your user and talk pages, it's better to deny vandals recognition instead of leaving comments. It just eggs them on and could be perceived as a personal attack upon your part. Better to just revert it, warn them with one of the standard templates, and report them if they continue. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 09:05, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Recent edits to your user page

It probably would be considered good faith to remove your comments. After all, you are commenting on an editor, regardless if you name him or her. This is still considered a personal attack on that editor regardless of who that editor actually is. I would ask that you reconsider. Shot info (talk) 01:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I see nothing to indicate in WP:NPA that i've made a personal attack. I haven't mentioned anyone. Timeshift (talk) 01:13, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
