[edit] creature of statute

Hello William, I did the regulator, can you have a look about creature of statute? I/m not sure about that. list proper; suggest moving this article to competition regulator; could you also pls move creature of statute to statutory authority?)

Thanks (Not native) Mion 07:57, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm surprised to see this request, as I have not had any dealings with this topic in the past. While I agree that Creature of statute needs more work, it certainly does not mean "statutory authority", at least not in American law. Here, that term is used for the statutes themselves, as opposed to regulations promulgated under the Administrative Procedures Act. Leave "creature of statute" where it is, as a term of art.

I will leave it, thanks for the advice, it is someting about UK terms and USA terms. When I google, there is no UK reference to it, but some Texas links. regards. Mion 13:47, 18 January 2006 (UTC) note: A Competition regulator is a government agency, typically a statutory authority, which regulates competition laws, and may sometimes also regulate consumer protection laws. In addition to such agencies there is often another body responsible for formulating competition policy.

As a context.

[edit] Thank you

Thanks for taking agressive management of the Manual of Style. If the work is going to be done, someone has to spend a lot of time to do it, for it to be done right. Someone has make sure all the topics are covered, and are internally consistent. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 19:24, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for help

Hi there, I'm having a bit of trouble with User:Ve3, he keeps putting incorrect information on the mitrailleuse page and does not discuss any changes. I noticed you'd had some trouble with him over the M16 page, so I thought I should get in touch with you. Rusty2005 17:17, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

To be honest, I'd never heard of the mitrailleuse, while the M16 rifle is a matter of great import to my generation. However, there are some things that can be done. One, the writing is pretty badly organized, I'd redo it to bring common sections together for clarity. Two, the correct facts can be explicitly cited. Three, facts that are incorrect can be flagged with {{Citation needed}} (or {{fact}} for short).
--William Allen Simpson 01:21, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your advice there William, fortunately me and Ve3 have sorted out our disagreements and have compromised. Thanks though! Rusty2005 02:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
