While this is good, I did prefer it without the latest sets of changes (specifically changing the "parliaments by term" categories). Ambi 05:52, 11 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ok. From your latest comment on Drew's talk page I assume that your concern is with the term 'List of', Am I correct? If it were 'Category:Members of Queensland Parliaments by term' would that be okay? As I won't be online again tonight, if you're both able to resolve this last point and make amendments above, I'm happy to go with whatever compromise you decide. -- Adz|talk 06:09, 11 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I think that describes things a little better. Ta. :) Ambi 12:58, 16 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

I preferred the "lists of" approach, but this is fine. We need to establish the correct capitalisation of "states and territories". We have articles States and territories of Australia but Parliaments of the Australian states and territories. Surely one of these is incorrectly capitalised? The proposed Category:Parliaments of the Australian States and Territories may need to be decapitalised. Hesperian 23:11, 16 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Decapitalising, I think. They're not proper nouns. Ambi 23:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ok. I've made those two changes (decapitalising and removing the striked cats). is that it? Shoudl I remove these comments and put them back on the old talk page in my name space before posting messages at AWNB and politics project page? -- Adz|talk 00:24, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
I suggest you remove the proposal to the project page at the current location. i.e. Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian politics/Parliaments. That would make this page the talk page for the proposal, and there would be no harm in leaving the discussion here. Hesperian 00:38, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Done. -- Adz|talk 01:24, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Let me be the first to comment. I agree with these changes. The former system was confusing and not used properly. Good work folks. Bduke 02:12, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Looks well structured and easy to follow. enochlau (talk) 03:25, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Seems reasonable.--cj | talk 04:53, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

This looks really good. --bainer (talk) 07:39, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

I like it. JPD (talk) 09:49, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Looks good. Well done. Now the finger-work begins. --Scott Davis Talk 09:20, 24 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the support. I have begun reorganising. I am mapping/planning progress at Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian politics/Parliaments/Progress
Can anybody tell me, if you rename a category (I presume you would do this at WP:CfR, or maybe an admin can do it), does it automatically rename all the articles within that category, or do you then have to go through and change them all manually? (in which case I don't see the point of renaming, you may as well just delete and start over). The reason I ask is because I thought it might be quick way to take care of Category:Victorian parliaments, Category:Australian parliaments etc. (before you go renaming though, let me clean out the latter). -- Adz|talk 11:25, 24 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Each article needs to be changed to the new category. If you go through CfR then maybe someone would do it with a bot, but I would be inclined to do it manually then get an admin to delete the old categories. Hesperian 11:46, 24 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ok. Thanks. I'm getting there. Have created all the state categories and moved most relevant articles (though not yet all). Moving the lists of member articles is next. Won't get it all done tonight, but might start on the Fed parl to free that cat up. Will see how I go. -- Adz|talk 12:56, 24 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have moved as many of the members by term articles into the new categories but left some because Rebecca has drafts in the old categories. A couple of points:

  • The articles 'Members of xyz' seem to duplicate the cats 'Members of abc by terms. I suggest these be deleted and cats for current members be created.
  • The list category for WA will be the same as the cat '... by term'. I suggest articles in the list cat be put in '... by term' cat & old at deleted.

Thoughts? MH au 07:52, 19 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

ACT Parliament article

edit

Is there a particular reason why all state/territory categories are called Parliament of (State/Territory) except for the ACT? The ACT is not the only unicameral legislature. Gimboid13 08:48, 22 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

None I can think of. MH au 05:28, 28 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
I've nominated it for renaming. See [1] Gimboid13 21:37, 28 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

ACT vice regal rep

edit

The ACT doesn't have an Administrator. The Governor General does the job. See Australian_Capital_Territory#Governance. Gimboid13 05:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I'll update the table.MH au 06:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
