[edit] Carole James Article

Hello, I'm a new user and cannot find your 'talk' section, however, you have commented on mine.

For the life of me I cannot see what having written or contributed to Wiki articles has much to do with anything, nor linking to blurbs about sock puppets. I would expect a kinder response from a more seasoned user. Please adhere to Wiki guidelines on this.

How accurate do you wish Wiki articles to be? Sources are most everything and anyone can create or edit a page , listing "January 1st, 2007 edition of the Manchester Guardian". But does this make it correct? Unless a link is provided the source could very well be bogus.

As we are to discuss issues and attempt to resolve them ourselves before approaching Administration, I would ask what you suggest is best to keep the Carole James article as accurate and unbiased as possible. For all I know the article mentioned that Carole and her husband drive back to his reservation often and a Prius just wouldn't do the job. Or maybe it didn't.

See what I mean? 76trombones 01:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hon./honourable

saw your edit; I think it's different for the Premier/First Minister and for post-viceregal former L/G-G's.Skookum1 (talk) 01:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment. I got my info from the wiki artcile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honourable which indicates that only a small number of people get to keep the title once they leave office. I don't know of another source of that statement.WikiMart (talk) 04:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
