Edmund Hoyle Vestey

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Edmund Hoyle Vestey, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/11/28/db2801a.xml. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

A tag has been placed on Edmund Hoyle Vestey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 04:20, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a Ruddslide?

Labor gained a 5.5 percent two-party swing... the only other Labor leader to gain or lose a bigger swing was Gough Whitlam. So Whitlam aside, Rudd gained the biggest two-party swing since two-party records were captured in 1949. Not a Ruddslide? Of course it was. Suck it back :-) Timeshift (talk) 07:02, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

lol ok, you don't believe there was a 5.5% swing. Enjoy your opposition. Timeshift (talk) 03:54, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

http://results.aec.gov.au/13745/website/ Currently 94.52% of the primary vote has been counted.

Your point being? That swing has been stable for ages now, it's not going to change much if at all. :-) Timeshift (talk) 08:54, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note that that figure will never reach 100% - it'll stop in the 95-96 region as not everybody actually turned up to vote. So for dramatic changes to occur in the remaining 1% of counting would be just plain odd, esp as many seats have now been officially declared (meaning every last vote has been counted and scrutinised) Orderinchaos 02:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The nine most marginal for Labor would all fall to the Coalition with a uniform swing of 2.92 per cent next time.

Yes, and that sort of swing only occurs with the change of government elections anyway. The only time you've got a swing that big is times like 1996, 1983, 1975 etc. Enjoy your opposition :-) Timeshift (talk) 00:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also there's an assumption here of uniform swing. In 1990 the election that Libs were on track to win was stymied by Victoria not going with the flow. In 1998 that same state caused exactly the opposite situation to occur. In 2004 SA defied the national trend to go towards Labor, as did the seats of Parramatta and Richmond in NSW. In 2007 WA defied the national trend with a much smaller swing to Labor, and two seats going to the Coalition. What I tend to look at is the "natural orientation" for want of a better word of booths and seats - in WA several Labor areas are held by the Liberals, while in QLD several Coalition areas are now held by Labor. In Victoria the balance is almost right, although La Trobe's a strange one (won by Liberal but most of its booths and area went to Labor) Orderinchaos 02:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Labor self destructs anyway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Cook#Nationalist_Party http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Scullin http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news/national/the-enemy-within-that-killed-curtin/2007/04/25/1177180661087.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1949_Australian_coal_strike http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._V._Evatt#Breakdown_and_retirement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loans_Affair http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Hawke#Decline_and_fall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Keating#Leadership_rivalry

That leadership rivalry got us a fifth election win and 13 years in power thankyou very much! Unlike four election wins and 11 years. Oh and I love this stat - Australia's last 6 PMs, only two were Liberal. And one hates the other's guts. :D But if we are talking about parties self destructing, we only need look at the repeated failures and self-destruction of the previous conservative parties before the Libs, unlike Labor since 1891.

Greetings, Stackja1945. Your article, Edmund Hoyle Vestey, has been saved and expanded. It should be stable now but I'll keep an eye on it for a while. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:52, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Citation Templates

Hi Stackja1945. I made some changes to an edit you did on the Padraic McGuinness article. The quote needed to be sourced to who made it. Also, the reference needed formatting. I find it useful to use the Wikipedia:Citation_templates, which I copy and paste into articles and then fill in the blanks. Maybe that will be useful to you in future.

Proposed deletion of Peter Francis Cox

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Peter Francis Cox, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Proposed deletion of Java murder of three Australian officers 17 April 1946

Minor incident. Article has had no expansion and has been an orphan since its creation 4.5 years ago.

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.
