[edit] Page title

Is Scott Jeffrey Reid or Scott Reid (politician) the preferred title for this page?

I prefer the former, on the grounds that Wikipedia should avoid parantheticals in the page title whenever possible. CJCurrie 19:22, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I prefer the latter, because "(politician)" more usefully describes the man than "Jeffrey". I'm not sure what the Manual of Style says about this. --Saforrest 23:25, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links

My respect for Scott Reid has just increased. Take a look at the links on his home page, and ask yourself how many MPs would have the bravery to do this. CJCurrie 02:13, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Out of curiosity, what did Reid say about Wikipedia? (I missed the original broadcast, and I won't be able to check Hansard until tomorrow.) CJCurrie 00:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

- He made mention to Wiki in explaining the term disabigious and how he related it towards the response from the Liberal Opposition Crtic. The Hansard should have it. It was around 6:15pm Est. --Aleeproject 05:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
