Brisbane Times leaders' debate poll

Shoulld the results of this poll be included on this page, as they currently are in the 'campaign' section? The Brisbane Times does warn that 'These polls are not scientific and reflect the opinion only of visitors who have chosen to participate.' At the very least there should probably be a clarification of the nature of the poll, given anyone could vote on it regardless of where they live in Australia or the world at large. It's not up to the standard of professional polling, more in line with anonymous votes cast on social media such as Facebook and Twitter/X. The2016 (talk) 09:10, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Names of Parties

What is the correct formatting for Party names in state elections?

The 2020 Qld state election, 2024 ACT election, and NSW 2023 State election list the state branch party names.

@The2016 undid a revision to registered party names as per the cited source. Do you have a precedence for similar pages that would suggest we use the colloquial or national party names? Mc4101 (talk) 04:58, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit is correct, actually. It was late at night when I edited the page and I had misremembered the format used on 2020 Queensland state election. Looking at it now I think it was because One Nation, Legalise Cannabis and the Animal Justice Party were listed incorrectly on that page, rather than you being the one who made a mistake on this one.

Synthesis of polls

In the section Opinion polling, this is said about the legislative assembly polling table:

Some polls do not publish a two-party-preferred result. In these cases, the result has been manually calculated from preference flows at the 2020 election.

It's unclear here *who* has been doing the manual calculation. If it was done by Wikipedia editors (see policy WP:SYNTH), or any source not meeting Wikipedia's reliability requirements, the second sentence in that paragraph needs to be removed and the synthesised values need to be removed from the table.

If it's the polling companies that do this calculation then

the text needs to be specific that the polling companies are the ones doing that calculation.
there needs to be citations on that text supporting this.
ideally it should be clear from the table which polls are using this technique to generate the 2pp values.

I'm adding a synthesis banner to that section. -- Xurizuri (talk) 01:01, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
