Talk:Elections in the Netherlands

message: I just wrote 'assigning people to seats' (based on 'Hoe wij kiezen' by Maurice de Hond). My father used to say that a vote for anyone but the 'lijsttrekker' is a lost vote, but this doesn't seem to support that. Is this a myth and what is it based on then?

message: I want start a new table for the election results overview because several parties have disappeared and appeared and changed in size. I'm not sure about the order, though. It should reflect the expected future size of parties but not be too different form the previous tables, so I suggest keeping the order of the biggest parties. The order I suggest is PvdA - VVD - CDA - SP - GroenLinks - PvdD - ChristenUnie - SGP - PvdV - EenNL. Another option would be to give a better grouping of similar parties bij changing the first parties to CDA - VVD - PvdA, placing the latter alongside the other left wing parties.

message: Could someone advise me whether the figures viewabkle here are for this election, and whether they are complete / final? If they are not for this election, could someone direct me to the correct page within that website? Thanks. Adam 14:11, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably the contents of that site are different now than two years ago, but currently you can find the final parliament election results there: click on 'Tweede Kamer' in the left-hand column, select the year under 'jaartal', and click the 'Toon resultaten' button. I assume the numbers are complete/final, since they're published by the Kiesraad, the official elections body. Probably when there are new elections, and it's just after they were held, they might be tentative. The last elections were on 22 November 2006, and the final results were published on the 27th.

replies: text: It's open-list proportionality, as the voter has some choice in who gets elected: if a candidate receives 25% of the seat threshold, s/he is automatically elected, even if the candidate's place on the list is too low to be elected based on the number of seats that the party gets.

message: Unfotrunately I don't have time to keep going with this stub tonight as I have to race off to dinner, but I thought I would get the ball rolling. Melbourne central business district may provide some further ideas. 
Some info that this article needs: 
* the size of the CBD, dimensions, area. 
* who surveyed it and when (I used to know this but have forgotten), 
* when was it settled 
* significant buildings
* width of streets (as compared with other Aust cities they are narrow). One way streets.

replies: text: I agree, zaslav, it sounds strange, but thats the way it is.  In Australian metro areas,  every piece of land, including the "central business district", are divided up into contiguous, named, "suburbs" covering the whole region.  These are used for address definition and postal purposes and are not directly related to local government, voting, or other administrative purposes.  For addressing and postal purposes,  downtown Brisbane is a "suburb" called "Brisbane".  The word "district" has no formal use in Australia.Eregli bob (talk) 02:23, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Most of the article before I edited it was about Koksijde or Sint Idesbald, not about Oostduinkerke. Even the pictures where not from Oostduinkerke but from Koksijde and De Panne.

replies: text: These games' soundtracks have always been an important part of the franchise, some might say integral.  As for why it wasn't listed in its entirety, it might have to do with at least half of the tracks having Japanese titles. Chris411 20:58, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to disagree strongly. While it may be worth noting that the game's sound test mode will only play a song after it has been heard ingame, listing the contents of the soundtrack is a waste of space.

As User:Rlevse who removed the prog tag said, membership of WOSM is not a criteria for having an article. Scouting on Vanuata is part of the Scout Association of the UK and this is of interest in itself to readers given that Vanuata was a joint colony before independence of the UK and France.
