message: This article was falsely redirected to Mathew Charlton. This should be rectified by reverting the redirection. See  , etc. for proof of the correct   spelling. Unfortunately I am not an expert to do this. Is there anybody out there to help? Thank you. --Marbot 21:16, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Falsely redirected 

message: I have moved this page from Mathew Charlton to Matthew Charlton. This appears to be a mistake long overdue for correction.
See, for instance     
The page was created by Adam Carr. But even his Psephos site registers more hits for Matthew Charlton (9) than for Mathew Charlton (2).
I found this evidence compelling enough to make the move straight away.

thread_title: Matthew, not Mathew

message: Hi editors. I see that this is up for WP:GA at the moment. I think that two large things are going to stand out to a reviewer.     
*There are quite a few grammer errors and redundancies. I've fiddled with two sections but it needs a thorough going over to be good prose eg:
*:"Charlton threatened to resign from his post in 1915 over a dispute in government delays in granting the committee increased powers but Fisher mollified him and in 1916 Charlton proved his loyalty to the new Labor leader Billy Hughes by voting for Hughes' conscription referendum bill, even though he was vehemently opposed to conscription and fought hard against it." has redundancies, is far too long etc... "from his post" is unneeded, the sentence needs to be split into two or more parts.
*Primarily the issue is the references, of which only web ones have been used. For a subject that pre-dates the web by so far printed works are the only way to get the article broad enough. Editors really need to read, and use, books like

replies: text: Timeshift, the 2006 election was, to be blunt, in 2006, which I think does not pre-date the web. As for AF, I would not have passed this one on the basis of the lead alone - GA like FA has a wide quality spread which gives us a gloriously diverse standard.

replies: text: I've fixed the mistakes I can see. I also added a 'see also'. Littleteddy (talk) 09:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Australian dictionary of Biography is a tertiary, heavily edited - and quality - reference. The entry on the site refers to at least one of the works I noted in their bibliography - I'm sure that if you read the sources they used you will find they have been deliberately selective...beyond what wikipedia does as we are unlinked to any paper limitation.Peripitus (Talk) 12:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Of all the major party leaders in Australia, he picked this one for GA?! Fair enough, but we have plenty of PMs that could do with a GA! :) Timeshift (talk) 10:23, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And you're welcome to go and write about them. Frankly I'd rather have a GA on something than no GA at all. — Dihydrogen Monoxide 01:26, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Already done a GA for an Australian PM. That's one more than all other wikipedians. But thanks for that suggestion anyway :-) Timeshift (talk) 09:31, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
