Talk:Wanganui and Rangitikei

Reversal of my own edit

In the article on the 2nd New Zealand Parliament, it says that it "used the same electoral boundaries as the 1st Parliament". And with that goes a map of electorates that both articles share, and it shows "Wanganui and Rangitikei". From this I concluded that the details of this article weren't right, as William Fox was recorded as having represented the Wanganui electorate (which of course did not exist during the 1st Parliament).

It turns out that the standard reference book supports the earlier info, so I will revert things. I don't know whether the electorate was merely renamed, or whether something more fundamental went on. At the very least, the map that goes with the 2nd Parliament will need to be updated.

It turns out that Wilson (1985) has got it wrong, and Wanganui and Rangitikei existed until 1860. This is more fully explained on the talk page of the 2nd Parliament article. Schwede66 17:52, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
