Talk:Alberta general election, 1905

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Discrepency

There is a 1 Liberal 1 Conservative discrepency between the Alberta Heritage records, and the Election Alberta records, Elections alberta lists 3 Conservatives being elected. In the Alberta Heritage list, 2 Conservatives only show up. I am reaserching the problem

I have confirmed that 23 Liberals and 2 Conservatives were elected, by reading through the Calgary Herald from various dates in November 1905 --Cloveious 22:12, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Merge

I had previously merged 1st Alberta Legislative Assembly into this article. That merge was reverted. As the merge is now effectively disputed, I leave it up to the community to come to a consensus. While there may be a technically correct point that a general election and a legislative assembly are two different things, the articles themselves are pretty much redundant redundant as they are almost identical. If there is to be a separate article for the general assembly, it ought not replicate this article. I would expect such an article to be about the 1st legislative assembly to be about what legislation was debated, what notable things happened, etc. Agent 86 21:18, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

In an effort to help with the backlog of articles to be merged, I'm taking the merge tags off both articles. Nobody has replied in favor or against the merger since the post in June, and it seems to me that the articles are not identical, as the Legislative Assembly article is much longer and only shares one table with the Election article. If the previous merge was reverted, I'm thinking this is the way things should stay. Jaye 13:51, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
