[edit] Off-topic
The bulk of this article seems to concern the ongoing battle for the Chief Minister's office between Follett and Kaine. While this is fine in itself, more information is required about the election campaign and results themselves. Joestella 09:22, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- You're right - half of this article is about the first parliament, not the election itself. I wonder if it's time we started thinking about creating topical articles on individual parliaments. I believe there's a precedent in Canada somewhere, but I'm not sure of it. Rebecca 09:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Many election articles note how the government elected at or soon after the election fared over the course of the term. This one has a lot more detail than that, while saying not much about the poll itself - no more, it seems, than the raw figures from the ACT government say. It definitely needs cleanup (more so than our election stubs) because of this lack of focus, so I'm unclear as to why Rebecca objects to the cleanup tag.
The content might best be moved to Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory and/or Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly. On the other hand, this article could stand to be far more detailed on its core subject-matter - in which case the Chief Minister changes should stay. Joestella 09:59, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
