In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 7 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag.

Wilson & McClelland

Hi there. I reverted the edit you made on Candidates of the Australian federal election, 1940 regarding Wimmera - mainly as an interim measure, because if definitely correct there will need to be some more widespread changes. What source are you using? I have read conflicting sources on this one, and certainly as far as I know Wilson never behaved as a member of the parliamentary Country Party (and the UCP was the one that supported the pledge of loyalty!). The ADB entry is generally confusing on this issue, and there is certainly some support in Trove for the change; however, the implication seems to be in some of it that the UCP is the anti-loyalty group, which we have a fair bit of evidence for being not true. However, the Wimmera is nothing if not strange politically, and if you have more information on this particular contest I would be delighted to hear about it!

Actually, I think I may raise this at WT:AUP, because a bit more wandering through Trove suggests to me that we are treating Wilson incorrectly for almost the entirety of his career! Please comment there. Frickeg (talk) 13:26, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re: above, obviously I'm wrong about the UCP being pro-loyalty. It's late! As you'll see at AUP, I'm inclined to think you're quite right, but we need to figure out a way to deal with the very complicated state of the Victorian CP at the time and it would be best to do it all at once (clearly, for example, even if we decide to treat Wilson as a UCP candidate - and I think we probably will - he can hardly go in the Coalition column as he was explicitly anti-Coalition).

Great work

I just want to say your ongoing efforts and diligence with party affiliations and such like are a huge boon to this project, and I hope you stick around once you finish this particular job. The Australian politics project could really use you! Frickeg (talk) 01:09, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For 1901, definitely check the Hawker book (details listed in the references of the 1901 candidates page) - I couldn't believe it when I found it at the university library; it was practically made for this kind of work. Do send me the link when you get your dataset online as it sounds terrifically interesting. I have a candidate database for federal and state elections in a monstrous word document at the moment and would love to get it online one day ... when I figure out the best way to set it out!

Looks terrific! Thanks for letting me know! Frickeg (talk) 08:14, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please have a look at the convo here and here? I love your Aus fed electorates resource, however where I live, metro Adelaide, the boundaries don't align with the roads. Look at the top and bottom boundary lines of Adelaide for example. The lines seem to be diagonal to roads/real boundaries. Where did you source the boundary co-ordinates from? Are you able to rectify the issue? Thanks. Timeshift (talk) 05:35, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
