That was a bad move

[edit]

The page has just been moved from The Wikileaks Party to Wikileaks Party.

At the AEC website it tells me that "The" is absolutely, definitely part of the name.

Tried to move it back myself but got an error page that was beyond me at this time of the morning.

But it must be moved back to The Wikileaks Party, because that's what it's called. HiLo48 (talk) 22:32, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's fixed now. Thanks to The Drover's Wife. (Now, we wouldn't leave the The off that name, would we?) But if this thread sticks around for a while it will hopefully inform others who might want to make the wrong assumption. HiLo48 (talk) 23:21, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Was moved again without discussion, following which I had to move it now back to "The Wikileaks Party", which is the official name according to the party's own constitution and how it is registered at the AEC. --ELEKHHT 07:33, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for moving it back again, and thanks for linking to the constitution. Today somebody changed almost all instances of Wikileaks to WikiLeaks, with a capital L in the middle. That's a reasonable edit, because the party's website uses that form a lot. However, the constitution doesn't, at all. Not sure where to go here, but because the change was made today, it's obvious somebody cares. Is the constitution our major guiding source here? HiLo48 (talk) 07:57, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not the only guide, but the official name is the safest as long literature & media coverage of the party is limited, and the party's usage is inconsistent (logo is all upper case, constitution is lower-case). The official form registered at the AEC will remain a basis for some media reporting. --ELEKHHT 08:36, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that. The problem is that it shouldn't have been a technical move, but a Requested move. We already had six moves in five months: WikiLeaks Political Party > WikiLeaks Party > The Wikileaks Party > WikiLeaks Party > The Wikileaks Party > WikiLeaks Party > The Wikileaks Party. Any further move should be based on consensus here. --ELEKHHT 08:54, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for putting my foot in this mess. After which I came here to the talk page and saw what I'd done. Which was because of the party literature. There needs to be a notice on the markup page. I think I'd vote for 'WikiLeaks Party', as the CamelCase form seems usual in the literature and the logo has no 'The', but I don't much mind. Rothorpe (talk) 10:35, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To the IP removing Minor Party Alliance

[edit]

Full list of parties in Minor Party Alliance: Senator Online | Australian Voice Party | Australian Fishing and Lifestyle Party | Family First | Stable Population Party | Party for Freedom | Australia First Party | Sex Party | WikiLeaks | Animal Justice Party | Stop CSG Party | Help End Marijuana Prohibition [HEMP] Party | Voluntary Euthanasia Party | Single Parents Party | Building Australia Party | Natural Medicine Party | Australian Independents Party | Climate Sceptics Party | Shooters and Fishers Party | One Nation | Australian Democrats (Darren Churchill) | Bullet Train for Australia Party | Bank Reform Party[2]. This article states "The party has been involved in Glenn Druery's Minor Party Alliance" which is in no way untrue. If the IP or others wish to expand on the issues (acrimony) between the MPA and WikiLeaks, feel free to do so using reliable sources such as the ones i've used.

The result of the move request was: page moved. (non-admin closure) — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 18:26, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]


The Wikileaks Party → WikiLeaks Party – Request move over a redirect. Title should conform to capitalization of "L" as used throughout official website of the WikiLeaks Party, and omit "The" for same reason. KalHolmann (talk) 21:53, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. I agree. However, request move over a redirect is still required, since there is already a WikiLeaks Party page. KalHolmann (talk) 05:48, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Elimination of Controversy Section

[edit]

See WP:CSECTION. The Controversy section should be merged with the rest of the article. It is absurd to have two subsections dealing with the 2013 election. Jack Upland (talk) 23:51, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i made the section and am fine with that. it should be easy to merge it, this diff shows how it was split https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=WikiLeaks_Party&diff=prev&oldid=1138141824
i expanded it some so please move things, dont revert Softlemonades (talk) 00:41, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have technical problems with moving large slabs of text at the moment, or I would do it.--Jack Upland (talk) 04:05, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ok did it Softlemonades (talk) 08:38, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Editing needed

[edit]

There are large gaps in the narrative. For example, the outcome of the 2014 election in WA and the exact reasons why the party was deregistered. The article seems to be written on the basis of assumed knowledge, e.g., the fact that Assange was in the Ecuadorian embassy is hardly mentioned. Restructuring is needed e.g. the 2013 election section should not be a subsection of Formation! Jack Upland (talk) 00:06, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article seems to be written on the basis of assumed knowledge we should add some background in Formation
e.g. the 2013 election section should not be a subsection of Formation! yeah that confused me Softlemonades (talk) 00:45, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I guess the party was formed to fight the 2013 election, but still it is confusing. We should introduce the names of candidates at the start of the 2013 election section, rather than the end, and then follow up with how many votes they got. I introduced the fact that Assange was in the embassy in a recent edit, but this is really fundamental to the story of the party. Some of the material is a bit questionable. For example, we say that party headquarters was in Melbourne, but it is pretty clear that Assange in London was attempting to control the party. Another gap is about deregistration. We don't say in the body of the article that this was about low membership. We mention the number of landlines, but this is a bit cryptic. Assumed knowledge yet again.--Jack Upland (talk) 04:10, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
edited it, is that better? Softlemonades (talk) 08:43, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I think that's much better.--Jack Upland (talk) 22:54, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
