[edit] Date formats

How can this possibly be seen as a model for others when the date formats are wrong? Surely featured articles and lists should have every detail of wikistyle correct? --Pete 02:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Will do, but I think the point needs to be made. If you are working on a featured article or list, check all the details. --Pete 21:26, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eh???

Um, I added the pictures of those who werent there (leaving reappearances blank obviously) a few days ago and now they arent there and theres no history with my name on it... I swear I didn't dream it, I think theres a wiki bug... Timeshift 04:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

It's possible that your edit didn't save. To my understanding, the servers have been struggling over the last few weeks, and the database has been locking every so often to let them catch up.--cj | talk 05:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Just be careful, however, this article originally had a picture for all of them, however a lot of them had to be removed for copyright reasons. .....Todd#661 11:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notes uplinks not working

When you click on a, b or c, it does not move back up to the text in the article. Needs a clever person to fix (I'm too lazy to work it out). —Moondyne 07:01, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stat

The following was added to the lead: Of the 29 people who have served as Leaders of the Opposition, 15 served terms as Prime Ministers. I am going to look for an exact citation for this. In the meantime I am going to leave it here. If somebody else finds it, I believe it needs to be added to paragraph 3 in an appropriate position. .....Todd#661 12:04, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Todd, the statement doesn't really need a citation as its just a statement of fact based on the names in Category:Australian Leaders of the Opposition and Category:Prime Ministers of Australia. —Moondyne 12:10, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
I agree it doesn't really need one as it's a non-contentious and very easily checked statement. There is however a reference here: "To 2001, there have been 35 Leaders of the Opposition. Of the 35, eight held the office more than once. Fifteen of them also served as Prime Minister." --Canley (talk) 02:05, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prime Minister?

Is it just me, or do you guys here think we should add a column that in some way indicates whether the person listed was ever made a Prime Minister also? I think this would be an appropriate thing to list, as most of them would have at least wanted to be PMs, so to indicate whether they "made it", so to speak, would be worthy of note. --lincalinca 12:31, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

This information is included in the list. Although it is very subtle. The [a] & [b] notes indicate if they had been or did become prime minister. .....Todd#661 09:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
