Independents who are affiliated with, but not officially endorsed by a registered political party
editI have correspondence from the VEC to prove that this is the position which the VEC holds that they are still Independents despite the party affiliation. I rather keep it confidential. Do you have an email address I can forward it to? Throwaway is fine.
--Kleinerziegler (talk) 11:56, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hi - no need, I believe you on that front but remembering that Wikipedia is not always a straight copy-paste of what a respective electoral commission/ballot says
- For simplicity (especially when in Vic the word "independent" is not on the ballot) easier to label them with the affiliation and let the party registration section of the respective election page give further info
- Turning Point is not a party so they shouldn't be added alongside Fusion, A1 etc Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 12:11, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- In short - just let it state the (unregistered) party name on its own Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 12:18, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks mate. Happy for TP to be removed. For the others, not convinced without a robust wikipedia discussion on official record vs. what we think it should be. Probably a question which should be addressed ahead of dreaded council elections where everyone is 'independent'.
--Kleinerziegler (talk) 12:24, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- You know what, that's fair and I think we need that discussion before the council elections (if you see one, tag me in because I'd love to contribute to it).
- For the purpose of space how about editing down "Independent" to "Ind." so it'd be "Ind. Australia One" etc? Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 12:29, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- I'm good with that Kleinerziegler (talk) 16:27, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi again. I noticed that you have gone ahead and removed PIBCI from Joseph Toscano and deleted the sources for everyone's allegiances. What is going on with that? Is there some kind of wikipedia standard for doing this because it seems strange to be removing information. What if someone wants to verify it in the future? Why does Joseph get different treatment? Is it because of Mulgrave by-election page and his status as a previous candidate and/or you don't want anyone to know who PIBCI are, so you are trying to set a new standard of not having sourced information? Very strange pattern of behaviour mate.
You wrote on your userpage "Just here to add party affiliations and local government election results"
... By removing party affiliations?
I highly doubt that a small outfit like PIBCI are a threat to whatever party you might be aligned with.
--Kleinerziegler (talk) 01:51, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hi - is there actual evidence PIBCI is a party, be that unregistered? I don't see how it is, especially compared to others like Fusion and A1
- I'm not aligned with any party
- For the sake of keeping with the style of every other party in those election results tables, I remove the references and added them to a section on the main 2022 Victorian state election page Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 03:09, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

editHello, I'm Lightoil. I noticed that you recently removed content from Shire of Colac Otway without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

editWelcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia, and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to 2020 City of Melbourne election. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use your sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. David Brooks (talk) 00:48, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- It's not a joke edit? That's the exact ticket names for the 2020 election, check the VEC website (which was already cited) Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 00:51, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- See the link below - the ticket used all those names, why not include them? The ticket names are used on the main City of Melbourne page already

Use of minor-edit marker
editHi Totallynotarandomalt69! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Grorp (talk) 06:43, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- No worries, thanks for letting me know Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 13:13, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

editHello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to New South Wales Legislative Council did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.
The edit summary field looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 02:15, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Oscar Yildiz moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Oscar Yildiz, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 TT me 11:41, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Avi Yemini
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Avi Yemini requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Worldiswide (talk) 03:32, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
July 2023
editPlease refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Australian Football League. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 11:15, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Seconds control
editFYI, here's a couple of references on senior clubs assuming control of second eighteens, which looks to have been a gradual process through the 30s. https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/205268733?searchTerm=%22Second%20eighteen%22%20%22senior%20committee%22 https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/164470626?searchTerm=%22second%20eighteen%22%20meeting%20senior
My suggestion is not to treat them as separate clubs in the table of clubs, since all conventions point to club reserves being considered continuous since 1919. The administrative history is less critical to get precise than the football operations history when it comes to sports articles. Aspirex (talk) 01:24, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- Fair enough - it does appear Collingwood District is a bit of an outlier though, even the club says it was basically stand-alone right up until 1939 Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 04:53, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- Actually I'll make myself clearer - it does appear Collingwood District is by far most well-documented with its own history than Carlton District etc
- But i do see your point Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 04:55, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
ACT House of Assembly
editHi, and thanks heaps for adding the totals for the elections. I've been trying to find a source for the results for ages (the only one I have is 30/9/74 Canberra Times p3, which were preliminary results for the 28 Sep 1974 election) - do you know where more can be found? Orderinchaos 08:20, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hey - this is preliminary but here's 1979 https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/110949961
- That being said I know preliminary is usually within 1% of average so may as well put it there until a full/better source can be found
- Sadly I can only find the seat total outcome for 1982 Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 12:04, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Copying/moving content within Wikipedia requires attribution
edit Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from WIN Television into WIN (TV station). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:36, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Regarding local government politicians
editIve noticed you have added to the Pauline Hanson's One Nation page 3 new local government councils with One Nation councillors represented there, i was curious on where you are finding this type of information, i dont doubt that these councillors have affiliations with the party, but wanted to see if theres any good sources you have where you can find this sort of info. Auspol4 (talk) 09:04, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Sourcing for the party affiliations of local councillors
editDo you have a source for the political affiliations for each and every candidate listed on Results of the 2023 Western Australian local elections? You need a source for each and every one of those, including the "Independent" candidates. Its not enough to just assume a candidate is "Independent" (a term not really even used in WA local government elections, but that's a different conversation) when there are no sources stating they are members of a political party. You have to have specific confirmation they are not a member of a party. For most candidates, I would assume there are no sources either way. Steelkamp (talk) 11:31, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hi - I think under the circumstances it's not unreasonable to assume independent when the vast majority will be and to the best of any of our ability
- Source for political affiliations at least where there is a party will be listed next to the title in each infobox (eg "2023 Western Australian local elections: Broome") Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 11:48, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- No, it is unreasonable to assume that. Councillors may very well be members of a political party without that being publicly known. Another issue which I alluded to above is that the term "Independent" is not used in local government in Western Australia (and possibly other states too). Councils here are apolitical, and your focus on political alignments is not a good thing, when councillors can vote however they want and are not generally backed by their political party. There sometimes can be factions on councils, but those factions are often not along party lines and can involve councillors from different political parties. My own local council has one faction with Labor, Greens and apolitical councillors, and another faction with Labor, Liberal and apolitical councillors. Steelkamp (talk) 11:58, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- "Councils here are apolitical" are you hearing yourself? They are a tier of government, they are political - whether they are partisan or not is different
- Noting that the Greens endorsed candidates and that other parties strongly and openly back their members who do run, it is not inappropriate to mention the political labels in an election infobox while also repeating, as I have done, that councils are supposedly more non-partisan than other states
- Also please google "independent councillor" "wa" if you think the label isn't used in WA (it is!) Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 12:03, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

- Should have been fixed now Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 05:56, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
You deleted a lot of content in this edit with no justification in the edit summary. An accident that needs to be reverted? Kerry (talk) 09:14, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Apologies edit summary should've been provided - reasoning is that no Australian politician articles have "electoral performance" on their own pages unlike USA Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 09:18, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- I presume that same content is available in the relevant Brisbane City Council election articles? My quick glance suggests it is. If so, that's probably OK. FWIW, while "notability" determines what subject matter can have its own article, article content merely has to be "relevant" to the topic, so deleting cited content which would be deemed "relevant" is generally not the right thing to do (you usually have to argue that it is contrary to policy in some way (e.g. "trivia") to delete it, or obtain consensus. Having been on-wiki for nearly 20 years, my observation is that similar content not being in a similar article isn't normally compelling as a rationale to delete the material, as it would prevent any innovation occurring, as something always happens for the first time in just one of a group of articles. But OTOH, having large slabs of content duplicated across articles creates maintenance issues (the risk of one article being updated but not the others consistently), which is an argument for not being overly repetitive and use "See Also" or inline wikilinks to point the reader at the article that holds the otherwise-duplicated content. Also, BCC is unlike many other local government councils due to its massive size (apparently it has a bigger budget than the State of Tasmania) which has led in some kind of general consensus in Wikipedia to a greater wilingness to have articles about BCC council members as their responsibilities are argued to be more comparable to state politicians (who all qualify for an article) than the average LGA councillor (who generally don't qualify for an article), so BCC-related content does not always get treated the same as other LGA councils. Nothing is ever simple in Wikipedia :-) but, as a general rule of thumb, don't delete large slabs of content without initiating a discussion on the Talk page or a WikiProject page where applicable, unless there is a clear precedent established. I'd be inclined to suggest that the best course of action here would be to add a See Also section (MOS:SEEALSO) to Quirk's artice which explicitly links to the election articles, with the annotation "For his electoral performance, see" list of applicable articles. That points the reader interested in electoral performance to the right place without the risks of duplication. Kerry (talk) 08:21, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yep that makes sense - and yes, all the content that was there is on the BCC election pages linked throughout the Quirk article Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 08:25, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
editYou have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
Norfolk Island election
editHello. With regards to this, the reason I changed it was to use a template that automatically calculates the totals, percentages etc. What is your objection to using it? I also wasn't sure why you removed the pp from the infobox?
You also reinserted a couple of errors to the results table, as the swing for Maureen King was wrong, as is the turnout (as it doesn't include informal votes, which the source doesn't give a figure for). Plus I think it's misleading to give swing figures for new candidates – they should be marked out as new (as they were in the table I added). Cheers, Number 57 21:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi - please don't take this as me being rude or gatekeeping as I'm not sure if you're overly active on Australian elections, but every single Australian election box - including for territories - does not used the "New" for new candidates, it just uses the swing. The election box style it was changed to is also never used for Aus elections Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 21:26, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- I would imagine this is because {{Election results}} is relatively new. However, is "this is how we've always done things" a good reason not to make improvements? Cheers, Number 57 21:46, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Not necessarily, but I think if you want to open discussion on Aus politics Wikipedia about a different template go right ahead and we can have that discussion, but it would be very inconsistent to use that template on just a handful of the literally tens of thousands of uses of the current template Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 21:48, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- OK, will consider that, although my experience is that English-speaking politics WPs are particularly bad when it comes to resistance to change...
- Separately, if historic Norfolk Island elections are of interest, I spent several months reading through all issues of Pacific Islands Monthly from the 1930s to early 1990s, and bookmarked numerous articles on Norfolk elections and referendums for future use, which are listed at User:Number 57/Norfolk Island. Cheers, Number 57 12:49, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Mackay Region - there are no parties involved?
editIf a person stands for election in local government and does not give a party affiliation to the ECQ, then they are independents and [1] does not show any party affiliation for those elected in Mackay compared with [2] which shows parties for many of those standing in Brisbane Brisbane. No idea about other statets but ECQ does not use terms like Independent Labor nor Team Whatever. Maybe it's ok to mention the teams provided it's made clear that these are NOT political parties, just alliances of candidates that share similar (and usually apolitical) goals , e.g. "lower rates and a new council swimming pool". To say "Team Such And Such" without saying anything about what their goals are is pretty pointless. Please remove these inappropriate party affilations. Kerry (talk) 00:16, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, I've added some info re Greg Williamson to try and add some actual info - I know the ECQ does use the "Team Greg Williamson" stuff for elections as a candidate group (see: https://www.ecq.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0012/64200/Team-Greg-Williamson_Redacted.pdf) and the group name is also used in local media effectively representing them as a party-type group (see here: https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/mackay/community/mackay-council-mural-vote-divides-oncestrong-alliance/news-story/e1b44c585f332e71767c98b8591f42a8)
- Independent Labor just used as shorthand for "Independent but declared Labor member" Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 01:45, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Good to see the info on Team Greg Williamson. But the party membership of some councillors is irrelevant to their participation in the council, which is the topic being discussed in this article. They might be Catholics or Bronco supporters but we'd hardly group them as Independent Catholics or Independent Bronco supporters. The column heading says "Party" and all of them were elected as independents, so to write anything other than Independent is misleading and I think will imply to some readers that they are pursuing an agenda associated with that party in some way. The ECQ results (the most reliable source) lists them as not having a party affiliation and we should stick with the source. Now if this was an article about the person, then by all means say something about party membership, but it would still be necessary to make clear that they were an independent in the council. Maybe if their party membership resulted in them doing something in their role in council that was a conflict of interest or somehow dubious (e.g. having all political advertising by other parties during a state election pulled down), it would be worth discussing. Also the table in the infobox with Political Groupings needs to go for the same reason as there is no basis for assuming 6 of the Independents work together as a group and therefore constitute a majority in the council. Nor is there a reason to think the 2 "independent labour" council memmbers are in cahoots etc. There is no requirement to use sections or fields of an infobox if they are inappropriate or could be misleading. Infobox fields are intended for basic facts that don't require a lot of careful interpretation. When a situation is more complex, it is always better to explain at length in the article body and omit the information content. Since the table of councillors should show all of them as independents, we don't need that section in the infobox. Kerry (talk) 06:27, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah I've cleaned up the infobox - I should note, that groupings section wasn't added by me Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 06:30, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, I should have checked more carefully. Kerry (talk) 06:31, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

The content seems to work better at Electoral results for the district of Bendigo East, where almost the entire page was already an excerpt. The except structure works well for elections on that page, but it seems unwarranted to do so for bielections. That is, while Results of the 1914 Victorian state election (Legislative Assembly) is large enough as a topic to warrant separate discussion, the 1915 bielection for Bendigo East isn't.

- I see that you've made a few more by-election splits, at least some of which I've also reversed. Note that if an excerpt is (almost) the content of the entire new page, that suggests the new page isn't needed - it isn't helpful for readers to see the same content in two place - that is, at Electoral results for the district of Hawthorn#1939 by-election and at a stand-alone 1939 Hawthorn state by-election.

YNBIT
editThis is a page about YNBIT. I find someone that looks at this page and decides to remove the YNBIT constitution and claiming this is biased is complete hypocritical. I did not remove any of your obviously slanted articles or comments. For the mods who may see this in the future The NB Advocate is run by a Liberal Party member which is the Political adversary in their own minds of YNBIT. YNBIT is about community representation in local government not politics. I will happily have a civil conversation with you but you have had effective control of this page until I found it this week. From YNBIT When I find out how to comment in the history page you will see this there too. YNBIT (talk) 10:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

The article 2024 Territory Labor Party leadership election has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Not sure this is necessary, a new leader has now been elected unopposed among four colleagues.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. AusLondonder (talk) 23:43, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi Totallynotarandomalt69, I see you have created a number of articles in this category such as Results of the 2024 New South Wales local elections in Illawarra. Given the election hasn't happened yet and this article lacks content about most of the LGAs in the Illawarra, should it not be in draftspace? AusLondonder (talk) 23:51, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- hey, i agree that i should've probably chucked it up in draftspace but given there's only 3 LGAs to add i reckon maybe keep it up? plus some of the articles have completed elections due to uncontested races
- no stress, totally get it though :) Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 00:13, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Yatte Yattah
editHello. I'm just curious why you removed what appears to be a valid reference when you made this edit [3] to Yatte Yattah? The edit summary just said "Max Atkins"? I don't think it hurts the overall article, just seems a bit strange to remove a supporting ref. Dfadden (talk) 12:53, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, I think I just removed it because it seemed to only be a reference confirming the Atkins tenure, not about Yatte Yattah, and so I moved it to the "Mayors" section on the City of Shoalhaven page
- No issue at all if it's added back tbh Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 12:56, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. I'm not fussed on if it goes back or not, and I agree the year he was in office is more pertinent to the page about the Council/LGA. Just wasn't clear why it was removed based on the edit summary. Appreciate the clarification! Dfadden (talk) 07:54, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah no worries, I do need to get better at remembering edit summaries to be honest Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 07:59, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Ross Kerridge
editHi, you seem to be triggered by Ross Kerridge's personal stance as a disaffected former life member of the Australian Labor Party.
'Our Newcastle' is not a registered political party, merely a slogan that he and his majority former Labor Party member (now independent) candidates chose to run under. Happy to hear your concerns that he shouldn't be considered as an Independent Labor (Australia) mayor, given he's been open and honest that he still fully supports the Labor Party? Романов (talk) 03:28, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Романов, definitely not triggered at all
- Totally get that ON is not a registered party, but I think it's important to use the label because it's the primary affiliation for Kerridge and his candidates (you can see plenty of references to an "Our Newcastle candidate" on Google for instance).
- Happy to leave the Independent Labor page unchanged, but again given it's the primary affiliation to see why candidates are in his group I think it's worth using it - and I reckon we can use both! :) Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 04:13, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, yes I agree. My standpoint is that the ON term is really just marketing but I see your point now. When I've taken a look at his lead candidates in the Wards, and himself, it's near impossible to not disassociate him (and his ON team) from the ALP. I think the ON/IALP is helpful when co-joint as they're a 'bloc' of independents, whereas IALP on its own doesn't necessarily explain they're actually that 'bloc', albeit a small one. Романов (talk) 04:23, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yep totally agree! and I 100000% agree with your point about making sure that it's known they're a bloc (as you say, there could very well be other INDALP in future that are not linked to ON) Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 04:25, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Романов, just circling back to this to avoid an edit war - I reckon the ON label/colours should be kept as the primary affiliation, no? Yes Kerridge can be seen as INDALP but his primary affiliation for his group has obviously been ON so surely that's used mainly?
- See below for instance https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/8757374/ross-kerridges-newcastle-independents-launch-council-campaign/ Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 06:57, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, my issue here is that Kerridge is first and foremost an Independent Labor politician: he states that he "continues to support all Labor state and federal members". It's pretty hard to walk-back from 50 years of ALP membership in 2 months... in fact he openly embraces (and campaigned) on being a life member. The two ON independents that were elected as part of his group weren't ALP members (Ward 2 & 4 were lead by ex-members). I've got no issues with them all being tied together by the 'ON banner' in a notes section (as we've discussed above) but its deceitful to list them as a Party in the overall infobox tally: 1. Their not a Party; and 2. Kerridge is as Labor as Bob Hawke or Gough Whitlam... so we should be pigeonholing him in the Independent Labor (Australia) slot foremost, then mentioning his alliance/team/group as a secondary measure to link them all together. Романов (talk) 07:30, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- Again I totally agree with a lot of what you're saying, I think we are largely on the same page
- I somewhat disagree that it's deceitful to list them together...yes they're not a registered party but they are very similar to one (running across all contests, endorsements, somewhat formalised structure)
- Agree that Kerridge falls under INDALP but given he's never seemed to use the label (again, I agree it applies) do you reckon there could be some objection to that label being "first and foremost" for him?
- I'm happy to keep the mayoral list with INDALP next to his name but election results I think should stick to the group label he was using to avoid any confusion Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 07:36, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Романов (talk) 04:23, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Googling "ross kerridge" "independent labor" returns three results, two of which are Wikipedia and one is a false positive. I don't think we should be inventing labels for people that no one else uses. I T B F 📢 08:29, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- Which goes to my point, the primary affiliation being used in media and by the campaign has been "Our Newcastle" for the past few months and should be used, while obviously acknowledging (as has been appropriately done on Kerridge's page) his ALP history Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 08:31, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Doubling up archives
editWhen you double up archive URLs like archive.org/archive.today and in one case archive.org/archive.today(longform)/archive.today(shortform) .. it really causes havoc with various tools which generate errors in the wikitext over the following years and decades. It's unsupported by most tools, and not needed. Simply pick one archive provider, use that URL. It does not make it more secure by doubling up, actually makes it more prone to breakage. -- GreenC 17:35, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, wasn't aware it messed up the tools - apologies about that, genuinely appreciate you letting me know
- I know this might seem like a dumb question but I have just woken up so can I can double check – are you referring to when an archive.today link is saved on archive.org, and vice-versa? Or have I totally misinterpreted Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 21:59, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

A new infobox for local elections
editHello, I was looking at 2024 Victorian local elections and noticed that {{Infobox election}} isn't really suited to Australian local elections. I know you have done a lot of work on the topic and was wondering your thoughts on creating a {{Infobox Australian local election}} template. If you have any ideas on what this may look like lmk because I'll be more than happy to create such a template and implement it. GMH Melbourne (talk) 08:21, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for the message!
- Personally I don't mind the current infoboxes (again, personal preference I'll admit) vs something like those legislative election lists
- For NSW I think it honestly looks good, the current Vic local elections it's a bit hard because obviously none of the main nine parties have a local elections affiliated leader
- Would be interested in what you'd come up with as an alternative template if you want to (something that bunches together the "local parties/groups" that only run in one seat?) but yeah I don't mind the current format Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 08:56, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
