Balcatta or Balga?

Could you please double check Brian Burke's seat (1974–1977). I have two sources saying it was Balga (not Balcatta).

Antony Green

One of its former members is ex-Premier and ubiquitous lobbyist Brian Burke, who represented the seat in the periods 1973-74 and again 1977-83. In between the local seat was called Balga, which Burke represented 1974-77 and again 1983-88.

Pollbludger

Balcatta has existed as an electorate on and off since 1904, having been held by Brian Burke from 1973 until its abolition the following year and again following its recreation in 1977 until 1983 (he was member for Balga in the interim and again after 1983).

Correct. Was a symptom of the method I used to create the pages in the first place, no doubt there'll be a few other minor ones. If ever in doubt, User:Orderinchaos/Electorates is your friend - it's been checked to 100% accuracy. Orderinchaos 21:17, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Will do in future. Bush shep (talk) 22:15, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My colleagues are trying to persuade me to article-ise some of these things, but not entirely sure how to do so or what would be the most appropriate way. No other jurisdiction has a record of seat redistributions, and I'd like to have somewhat more info at hand before I attempt something of that nature (mainly what was contained within each - this can be obtained from Gov Gazettes as polling places are called, and I have copies of every full Assembly election return since 1950, but yeah, difficult to know what way to go about it.)

National and Country?

You've got both National and Country listed as parties here. Should National be National Alliance? Digestible (talk) 17:21, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's a flaw in the way I did them - working forwards and backwards from other years. For this period they *all* should be "National Country" as the NA was only used at the election, and the party then adopted "National Country Party" as its new name. The name became more important in the following term in differentiating those on different sides of the August 1978 split. Orderinchaos 19:42, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
