  • I've now turned this into a double nomination. Schwede66 20:01, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
  • I've written up another by-election article. That's it now in terms of the number of articles. Schwede66 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. Schwede66 00:13, 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. Schwede66 17:56, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Good spotting - thanks. Fixed. Schwede66 20:00, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
