Nationalist mess

The factional Nationalist designations here are very, very doubtful, and I hope people can help sort them out. They follow Psephos, which in turn follows the Argus (more or less), but I think the Argus was very lazy and put most Nationalist candidates just in the "Nationalist" category without distinguishing them. The Age did not distinguish at all, but I agree with Psephos that it would be perverse to list the government and those who defeated them in the same column. Close work should be done on every Nationalist candidate; I am not at all sure of some of the sitting member designations either. I hope to do some of this at some point but would appreciate any help! Frickeg (talk) 04:15, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats for even trying with this one, and I really like your approach in designing a table for the weird situation. I'll see if I can get around to doing Trove searches on everyone, but if I forget feel free to remind me down the track some. The Drover's Wife (talk) 05:34, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
