[edit] Claims about the US Constitution

I've noticed that many in the United States claim that its constitution is the oldest. The republic of San Marino has the oldest written constitition, written in 1600. Someone said that the San Marino does not count, because it was not recognised as a state until 1812, however this is not true and the independence of San Marino dates back to at least the 1200's.

[edit] Australia Republican Pages

I am interested in cleaning up Australian Republicanism. The current project is to remove the page Proposed President of Australia and writing about specific models which have been seriously considered.

[edit] Constitutions

This is not an area in which I can claim any expertise. Adam 23:56, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Canal pics

I've expanded Canal a little, so there;s room for more pics if you like. As to which to replace, if this is still necess, how about either Venice, or Amsterdam, as these show the same type of canal? But they're rather beautiful pics, so perhaps the Canal du Midi. I'd be loathe to lose the Calder and Hebble Nav unless it were replaced with something similar, showing the industrial buildings and chimneystack contemporary with the canal. Did you have something in mind? JackyR 20:43, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
