Talk:1996 New Zealand general election

Registered parties with party lists

Note that the 2003 reference says that there were 21 party lists in 1996 (p22), but the 2007 reference says 22 not 21 (p87). I have taken the 2007 book as correct (particularly as the chapter is by David Henry the Chief Electoral officer. But the article Party lists in the New Zealand general election, 1996 lists 6 successful parties who mad it to Parliament plus 15 unsucessful parties, total 21 not 22 (?)

In case you still have your actrix email address, you will have the relevant info in your inbox by now. What I've sent you are the official party lists. 670 people were put nominated on 21 lists. Schwede66 03:02, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Photos in 1996 New Zealand general election

I've reverted you photos changes. License on the old ones looks okay and they are a lot nicer. Could you explain the reason for your substitution? - SimonLyall (talk) 03:44, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

mostly cause they didnt fit time wise for 1996. like Anderton 2010 (+14 years) vs 2000 (+4 years), bolger 2008 (+12) vs 1996 (0), clarke 2005 (+9) vs 1997 (+1), Peters 2008 (+12) vs 1991 (-5). the prebble photo i just cropped cause it looks weird to have heads and then one full body photo.

okay. It's a bit of a balance between the two requirements. Especially with limited numbers of photos available. I was prompted by this comment on twitter - SimonLyall (talk) 04:54, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

ok im not gonna change it, though i think maybe some compromise could be not the directly most recent photo but closer than the ones you reverted back to TheLoyalOrder (talk) 05:30, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

im going to copy this conversation over to the talk page for the article TheLoyalOrder (talk) 05:31, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
