Talk:McGillicuddy Serious Party

message: The deadline for re-registration for the 2005 elections having passed, no McGillicuddy Serious Party or similar is registered; See http://www.elections.org.nz/parties/registered_political_parties.html#gen1.  In fact disappointingly , no silly parties at all seem to be registered this year.  Argh, who to vote for?
:Well, a party can still put up electorate candidates without being registered — 
Och Aye, I was nae saying aut other me laddie :-).
they just can't put up a party list. You may still find a suitable electorate candidate, depending on where you live. As for the party vote, though, I think you're right — no joke parties this time round. -- Vardion 00:24, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Party not Reregistered 

message: I walked out, you left me... sorry just having an Exponents moment there.  Um, there was a stub page for Bonnie Prince Geoffie.  An Aussie deleted it and put a redirect to this page. Good idea or nooo?  Should he stay or should he go?  Discussion between myself and Chairman S. below;
REDIRECT Chairman S. (Contents are covered sufficiently at redirected page)USER:Chairman S..  
: Note you deleted contents of this page and redirected to McGillicuddy Serious Party.  While the two pages had broadly similar material about his history, the Prince Geoffie page was a stub to be elaborated on, which I see several people made contributions to in the space of a few months, so there is every reason to believe it would continue to develop new material.  Those hunting only him are directed to a page which is mostly not relevant, where as my understanding of the redirect function is that it is to prevent duplicate articles where terms are synonyms, not to prevent repition of material in different pages.  Repitition is logically necessary with every biography and history article. I am inclined to resurrect the Prince Geoffie stub, but wished to hear your views first.

replies: text: I redirected the page because I felt that there was no need to have a seperate page for what is essentially a short-lived fictional character. It seems to me that it would be better to simply have information on the "Prince" at the McGillicuddy Serious Party article instead. USER:Chairman S.. 07:11, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Fictional?  Reluctant yes, but not fictional :-).  Suggest we leave a note in discussion on both sites and see what others think? Winstonwolfe 19:25, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm happy to for notes to be left on the discussion pages. What I meant by "essentially fictional" was that it seems unlikely the page can be expanded much. Chairman S. 07:13, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Yeah, I'd say that Bonnie Prince Geoffie (the Reluctant) is best dealt with here on this page; it might be useful to compare his position in McGillicuddy lore as a mixture of truth and fact - a biography page based in fact would not accurately describe BPG(tR) whereas anything otherwise would scarcely suit a biographical entry. Pardon the late contribution to this discussion, somehow this wasn't on my watchlist...blacksand 13:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should he stay or Should he go now? Bonnie Prince Geoffie Page deleted 

message: "Prior to the 1984 election, David Lange's Labour Party promised to maintain free tertiary education...". I'm pretty sure it was before the 1988 election Lange made this statement on TV. No idea of a sources fro the date though.

thread_title:  A small point 

message: Boy, has someone got an axe to grind with these latest edits. Silverslith wouldn't be a certain self-styled
Admiral by any chance? I have reverted the page back to its pre-Silverslith edit, as much of the new "contribution" is rather slanderous, inaccurate, and not to mention a rather poor didactic and tedious reading. Oh, and it goes without saying, it is not at all objective.  PavillonE (talk) 09:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Anarchist "infiltration"

message: The paragraph in question was deleted in June 2009, reasonably promptly after its contents were disputed. Since there are no citable sources for the incident that meet Wikipedia criteria, it should not be covered in the article or discussed on this talk page.-gadfium 09:35, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Is it worth including mentions in the See Also to other parties similar to this? Such as Civilian or Bill and Ben? Seems like it would be worth having to me. Waniou (talk) 03:01, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
