Was the LCL affiliated with both the Liberal and Country parties during it's whole existence?

[edit] LM, New LM and Playmander: last revert

Exactly how are these not directly related to the LCL? It's like reverting edits on Iraq in Howard's article. Sure the two aren't the same, but they are very intertwined and play a vital part in explaining the broader picture. I almost smell a whiff of POV... Timeshift 03:39, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

It's nothing to do with POV... it's to do with the tedious repetition of content across articles. No new content of value was added to Wikipedia through those edits. I've noticed this across a wide range of articles that been recently created; I'm going to have to go through and write "original" content for them. michael talk 04:11, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
What wasn't original about the additions to the LCL page? Timeshift 04:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • These lines are verbatim from the New LM article: "formed by Robin Millhouse, arguing that the Liberal Party of Australia was no longer worthy of the descriptor liberal ... emergence of the Australian Democrats led many New LM members, including Millhouse and his assistant Janine Haines, to join the fledging party, after which the New LM ceased to exist."
  • And this bit is a poorly-worded catch from South Australian Legislative Council: "Rural overweighting known as the Playmander resulted in LCL lower house minority and majority governments for decades. Upper house elections since 1941 have held 16 LCL and 4 ALP; voting rights were limited to the wealthier classes; suffrage was dependent on certain property and wage requirements. The electoral districts were drawn to favour regional areas with a 2:1 bias in place." (not only that, it isn't worded properly with "LCL lower house minority and majority governments for decades", and the poor placement of ;'s)

That wasn't my point. The point is that readers don't need the same basic information repeated over a number of similar pages. It doesn't add anything. michael talk 05:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
