In the event, 1724 - Russia and Turkey sign Treaty of Constantinople, the link to Treaty of Constantinople doesn't correspond to the event. Should we rename the link? -- Jung dalglish 05:37, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] What Government?
I'm just about to remove an entry that reads:
- The Liberal minority Government survives passing its NDP additions (C-48) to its 2005 Budget (C-43), by catching the conservatives off guard with missing members. A vote on C-43 the following week would have likely been defeated and triggered an election.
The reason for this is that it contains no information about what country this is about. I have no idea what this entry even means because of a basic lack of context. Also, it doesn't actually appear to be that important in the grand scheme of things. If it actually triggered a general election for some country then maybe it would have been worth keeping. --Colin Angus Mackay 22:39, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
