 * I've written up another by-election article. That's it now in terms of the number of articles.  Schwede 66  18:30, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Great - thanks, Tony. I've just put something on the article's talk page and would like to get your opinion (and the opinion of anybody else, for that matter) on that.  Schwede  66  00:13, 2 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you have the right ref for the 1943 election in the Lyon article?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:01, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Could you be more specific, please? For a start, there are two 1943 elections mentioned in the article (the by-election and the general election), and there are several references covering the by-election. Found the wrong ref and have fixed it. And by the way, I have replied to your comment on the article's talk page but it seems you haven't seen that yet.  Schwede  66  17:56, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Ref 11 from Christchurch East by-election, 1943 should replace the second use of ref 15 at Melville Lyons.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:53, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Good spotting - thanks. Fixed.  Schwede 66  20:00, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
