Discrepancy in dates[edit]

The article describes his death as happening on 31 May 1909, but the sidebar says he was in office until 5 June 1909. Is the latter correct? The date of death is listed as 31 May 1909 in the ADB. 129.127.252.5 (talk) 03:37, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He died 31 May and was in office until 5 June. Timeshift (talk) 07:08, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As a person is not alive, how could be in office? --Lemur12 (talk) 21:23, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thought it might have been a procedural quirk, maybe to do with nomination of a successor, but parliamentary website has 31 May. Doug butler (talk) 17:05, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Eight liberals"?[edit]

Question for anyone who might know... South Australian state election, 1905, Labor forced the incumbent govt to resign with the support of "eight liberals". However according to Members of the South Australian House of Assembly, 1905–1906 sourced from here, apart from Labor, ANU and FPPU, there were only seven MPs without an affiliation. How do you get eight liberals from when there's only seven non Labor/ANU/FPPU MPs? And I doubt unaffiliated Vaiben Solomon would be considered a liberal and/or back Labor to form govt.

– There is a fairly large number of entries for Thomas/Tom/Tommy/Thommy Price, thus an early 20th century premier, not of a nation, but of a state within a nation, who held office less than four years, does not have sufficiently elevated historical standing to serve as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of a relatively extensive Thomas Price (disambiguation) page. The proposed qualifier would be analogous to that of Thomas Price (Queensland politician). —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 00:55, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Very significant figure: led the world's first stable Labor government, key figure in early twentieth century Australian politics. The nominator seems to be confused about what state he's even from, which makes me think he's not in a good position to assess his significance.

Support for different reasons. The Drover's Wife is right about this person being far more significant in history, and my sample (not exhaustive) Pageviews Analysis has not found a comparable person (Tom Price, Western Australia gets an order of magnitude more views). However I am generally a supporter of putting disambiguation pages at the "primary title", so lean towards supporting the move. There is currently at least one inbound link that appears to come to the wrong article (List of colonial governors of the British Virgin Islands), and it is much quicker and easier to find and fix these if the disambiguation page lives at the primary title. --Scott Davis ^Talk 06:24, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
