[edit] Succession box replacement
I have replaced the succession box of this article with one that conforms to the standards and guidelines set by WikiProject Succession Box Standardization so that it can serve as a sample for the kind of changes we wish to make in a larger scale throughout the articles of Canadian politicians. This succession box has retained most of the information that was present in the previous box; the only information that was not included was the number and party status of the cabinets, something which is mostly of statistical nature anyway and can be found in a list of cabinets. The current box has placed Trudeau's political offices in a chronological order and has unified the Minister of Justice succession line; furthermore it is more discrete and aesthetically pleasing, as well as simpler in its parameters and syntax. Please do not immediately change back the box but discuss it and see whether the new format is indeed preferable or not. Thank you. Waltham, The Duke of 09:30, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Non NPOV
"Generally forgotten is that Trudeau's question in Saskatoon was rhetorical and followed by long explanation that, in epitome, said that the governments' role was only to help farmers to sell their own wheat, and told of some of the difficulties involved in doing so on the international market; likewise, that the protesters in Salmon Arm were shouting blatantly anti-French and anti-Quebec slogans. In his book Paradox: Trudeau as Prime Minister, Anthony Westell covers this incident, giving a good sense of what was actually said, rather than the excerpt that made the headlines."
In my opinion, this passage seems to be defending Trudeau in a particularly non NPOV way. I really don't know how it could be fixed without deleting it outright, so I was wondering if there were any suggestions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.66.47.150 (talk) 02:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, it could be presented as what that book said - IF that is what it said --JimWae (talk) 03:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Charter.jpg
Image:Charter.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
