Auckland Airport shares[edit]

1,530 Auckland Airport shares at about $8.70 would have a value of about $13,000. It is claimed he sold them for ~~$16,000~~ $16,400. Either (a) he had ~~more like 1,830~~ closer to 1,900 shares (b) he sold them for only about $13,000 (c) he sold them ~~20%~~ about 23% above market value, which would be extraordinary and warrant explanation. Something is wrong. Nurg (talk) 00:17, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Wood (New Zealand politician) → Michael Wood (politician) – The other politicians are always referred to as Mike and so a hatnote could be added.

Support makes sense per WP:SMALLDETAILS. I'm now also wondering whether the two Mike Woods need something like the addition of "British" to their disambiguation since I don't think either party name is precise enough, but that's a separate conversation. Turnagra (talk) 18:00, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose both Mike Wood (Conservative politician) and Mike Wood (Labour politician) are named "Michael", yes Wikipedia may use common names due to them being called "Mike" more than "Michael" but as noted since the actual name of all 3 are "Michael" it would still be partial disambiguation. The New Zealand politician has 520 views but the Conservative politician has 459 and the Labour politician has 218[[1]]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:16, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Crouch, Swale. And yes, Mike Wood (Labour politician) does need to be further disambiguated to Mike Wood (British Labour politician) since this article is also about a Labour politician. I don't see who else Mike Wood (Conservative politician) is ambiguous with. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:37, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. They're all called Michael and can be referred to as such. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:43, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
