Talk:List of mayors and lord mayors of Perth

message: Sir Ernest was LM of Perth 1972-78.  He was born 22 December 1912, and he's either 95 now, or dead.  I can find no info about his death on the internet.  If he has died, can anyone advise me when he died?  --  JackofOz (talk) 04:30, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A belated reply.  As far as I can tell he's still kicking.  I knocked up Ernest Henry Lee-Steere anyway. I'll use your date of birth. Djanga 13:10, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I've removed Charles Nathan from the list. Both the ADB and David Black's biographical register of WA parliamentarians say that he was mayor in 1914 (or from 1914 to 1915), but going through Trove I can find no mention of his ever being mayor – something like that would obviously come up in an obituary. This article in The West clearly states that Prowse was immediately succeeded by Nicholson as mayor. Not sure how the Charles Nathan myth got started. IgnorantArmies (talk) 08:06, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

text: ditto.  Nice work IA. Perhaps a footnote against Nicholson explaining the discrepancy is appropriate. Moondyne (talk) 08:31, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. I can only assume Mossenson at the ADB got it wrong somehow (or one of his sources), and that was carried forward by Black and Bolton. I notice Nathan wasn't mentioned on the list you got from the City of Perth (above). IgnorantArmies (talk) 10:11, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Does someone maybe want to tell the ADB so this rumor stops? Trove, particularly at its current depth, has provided an opportunity to fact-check their articles that didn't exist before and that they didn't have at the time. The Drover's Wife (talk) 10:21, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: moved.  List of mayors of Perth has been suggested, but there is no explicit consensus on it yet. Proposing an additional move request now for that suggestion is permissible (suggest listing all similarly titled pages for consistency).
