Pointless section[edit]

The section Preferred Premier and satisfaction section is obviously all based on polls involving Michael O'Brien, who is now not the Opposition Leader. That section now serves no point. HiLo48 (talk) 00:20, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if if they're helpful, but, if it's compulsory, you should vote.

New seat not mentioned[edit]

Ashwood is a new seat created for 2022 election It is not mentioned where other new seats are. 14.200.64.16 (talk) 21:25, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure? Ashwood mentioned in the Redistribution section as a new seat, and also in the electoral pendulum. --Canley (talk) 01:17, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Don't Know" in premier polling[edit]

I think we should remove the "don't know" in the graphical summary of better premier polling altogether. It's not present in any other graphs and seems to get in the way when a new poll, like from Roy Morgan, doesn't include those numbers. —twotwofourtysix^{(talk || edits)} 13:00, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decimals in Resolve poll[edit]

User:Polliewaffle, you keep adding decimal places to the Resolve poll. These numbers are not found in the source provided, and per Kevin Bonham, are not anywhere on the internet. Where did you get them from? Devonian Wombat (talk) 20:59, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am Jim Reed, the director of Resolve Strategic. I run this poll. The (primary) source is me. They are currently not on the internet so I am putting them on the internet, here. That is the point - to have them on the internet. Thank you for your devotion to correcting figures, but not needed in this case. Polliewaffle (talk) 21:09, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is needed. Sorry, but I'm sure you understand that anyone can make an account and claim being you. We don't work on claim by users on Wikipedia, only sources are used, and users can't be one. So if you wan't to add these decimals, I would advise adding them on your publications so they can be used as sources for the pages.--Aréat (talk) 03:34, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Grammatical error in title[edit]

Shouldn't it be "State" with a capital not "state" all lower case? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justnigel (talk • contribs)

No, see MOS:GEOUNITS—in this usage it's a generic word and not a proper noun. --Canley (talk) 11:56, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
