[edit] Balfour Declaration

It turns out that material was correctly edited out. I found another copy of the book, and the reference is to a rumor, not about Balfour, but about Lloyd George and the wife of a "prominent Jewish businessman". It's atop p. 416 in "Paris, 1919". Sfahey 04:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian English

I notice that someone reverted your edit on the Canada page. Queen's English isn't the same as Canadian English. Canadian English is a hybrid of American English and Queen's English. So it is "Honour" (like the British), but it is also "Industrialization". I checked my Canadian Oxford English Dictionary to be absolutely certain, and we do indeed use the "z" in place of an s on the select words, just like Americans. Normally on the Wiki the rule appears to be "whatever the original page creator used", but in pages dealing with a specific region local English should be used.Gopher65 (talk) 15:49, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
