[edit] Stephen Harper

I removed "The Right Honourable" as per item #2 at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Honorific prefixes. It's not because I am against the man but he will not always be PM and therefore not always Rt. Hon. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 22:42, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

You're right he will always be Rt. Hon. I found that later and should have know better. Which of course means that Kim Campbell is also Rt. Hon. for life. I've had to change it three times now but I think I'm being pedantic. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:56, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roy Jenkins in the other club

Do you have a reference for Roy Jenkins in The Other Club? Please put one in if you do, as I think he doesn't appear in Colville's book (the sole present reference). -- Kevin Ryde 23:03, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pro wrestling promotions timeline

How did I do it? Well... to be honest, I just copied timeline code from some other article and messed with it to make the one for the pro wrestling promotions. I had no clue how to make it, I just copied the code. Thanks for the praise as well, it's nice that someone commends me for a change. -- FPAtl (holla, holla, holla) 15:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] United States Department of the Air Force

Hi -

Regarding your edit summary for you edit of this article, needs its own article, doesn't it?, I believe the answer is no, that the United States Air Force (to which the article redirects; I've put that back) are in fact one and the same thing. I'm certainly open to any facts showing that they are different organizations, but I believe there are one and the same, based on the facts in the (stub) article that I replaced with a redirect (e.g., same logo, same legislation creating them, same office in charge - Secretary of the Air Force).

If you do find some evidence that the two organizations being separate, please post it one or both talk pages. Also, if you do that, I strongly recommend that you revert the USDAF article to an earlier version of that article: although it was a stub, there was much more information in the previous version than what you just wrote. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 00:02, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your response on the USAF-USDAF issue. Unfortunately, your main argument - that there are separate articles for United States Department of the Army and United States Army is unpersuasive. If you look at the first of these two, it is a stub, and the seals shown in the two articles are identical.

I look forward to continuing this discussion, and hopefully to some evidence that something else besides the USAF "reports" to the USDAF. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 01:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I suppose I'm coming across as difficult here; if so, I apologize. I read the The U.S. Air Force was also created, along with a new Department of the Air Force." to mean The U.S. Army Air Forces were completely separated from the U.S. Army, and the separation included creating a department-level organization equal to that of the Army to run the Air Force.

To be more constructive: I'd settle for something (anything) that says "The USAF, as well as X, Y, and Z, are components of the Department of the Air Force", or "Position X, which heads the USAF, reports to the Secretary of the Air Force". Or an organization chart which shows the USAF and the USDAF as separate things. I hope that isn't seen as excessive. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 01:47, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

The above has been copied to Talk:United States Air Force (my mistake for not starting the discussion there); further discussion is invited at that page. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 03:06, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
