I disagree. His name continues with these memorials. We don't need a lot of information about them but they should be included.

Okay, then put them under appropriate subheadings. But, you know, there are potentially dozens and dozens of such things - there's a very ugly building at Yonge and St. Clair in Toronto, for instance, named after him. And I should point out that the other 22 Prime Ministers don't have lists of the public schools named after them, etc. --Ggbroad 00:35, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Maybe they should. It is information about them. Perhaps a link to another page?

There's another problem. The material that you're posting is in some cases copied verbatim from another page. That's plagiarism, copyright violation, and a direct violation of Wikipedia's most fundamental rules. Therefore, I have no choice but to remove it until such time as it is rewritten. --Ggbroad 14:23, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

"Gustapo vous?", you asked. I'm not sure what this means. My point is that you can't use material from other websites (or even other Wikipedia entries) and just plonk it down into the one on Meighen. See plagiarism. Are you a teacher or a student? You may also wish to get a user name and to sign your comments. --Ggbroad 16:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Let me ask: did you write this:

"Arthur attended high school in St. Marys in what is now known as Arthur Meighen Public School. He was an exemplary student as well as the grandson of the man who was schoolmaster of the first school in St. Marys. In 1892 in his final year at St. Marys Collegiate Institute, Arthur was elected secretary of the Literary Society and was a member of the school Debating Society. He received first class honours in Mathematics, English, and Latin and went on to tertiary education at the University of Toronto."

Or did you pull it from some other source? If it's from another source, you cannot use it without proper attribution. That's not my rule - it's a Wikipedia rule and it's a fundamental commonsense rule of writing in general. --Ggbroad 16:58, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes
