Not according to the other, equally official, source. So you'd have to do even more OR to resolve the contradiction. Mewulwe (talk) 19:33, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for finally explaining what the problem is – why didn't you just raise this issue four hours ago rather than having to go through all this? A helpful editor would have spotted an error or contradiction and raised it on the talk page, or at least explained it fully in an edit summary.
I genuinely don't think you understand what OR is though. We have to deal with contradictory sources all the time – not just for elections, but for all kinds of topics. It's our job as editors to try and determine which source is correct – this is not original research. The question here is what other sources say about Cornwall's affiliation. These official lists of nominated candidates have him as a Progressives candidate, as do these news sources, so it looks like the first source has an error.

That wasn't the problem, that was an illustration of the problem. If it was just about Cornwall's affiliation per se, it wouldn't be OR. Publishing vote totals which as such aren't in any source, however, is. Mewulwe (talk) 20:43, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't – additions like this are covered by WP:CALC and are regularly done for election articles. Also, why do you think you're exempt from WP:3RR? Number 57 21:35, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
WP:CALC says "Routine calculations do not count as original research, provided there is consensus among editors that the result of the calculation is obvious, correct, and a meaningful reflection of the sources." These calculations are typically done by a single person without any broader consensus, and no one could ever honestly say that they are "obvious" - verifying the correctness requires a tedious replication of a complex, far from "routine" calculation. Something being regularly done doesn't justify it - there are many "regular" malpractices on Wikipedia. Mewulwe (talk) 09:33, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Tally

[edit]

Wrong vote tally for Heather Dianne Bodden I believe. Someone please help fix. 165.91.13.112 (talk) 21:27, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorted, and thanks for pointing it out. You could have corrected it yourself if you wanted – the article is free for anyone to edit. Number 57 01:24, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
