Talk:31st G8 summit

message: There is mention of there being "possibly" 2000 US Marines at the event.  I was there.  There weren't.  I've no doubt that there were Marines there but not 2000.
Why is Bush's bike accident considered worthy of inclusion into an encyclopedia entry?
:Perhaps we should mention how the London bombing may divert attention from African aid to terrorism?
::The article is good NPOV but the large number of activist sites werte not, as this is an article about the G8 summit, not about the protests against it. Put them elsewhere but not here, SqueakBox 21:19, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
:::You can't consider a G8 summit outside of the context of the protests it sparks.
::::I agree. Make sure the coverage on the protests is balanced, but it definitely needs to be there. --Taramul July 9, 2005 17:35 (UTC)
I added a reference (link) for the paragraph which starts with the "700 people arrested" claim. NB: I discovered the wikipedia text is very close to linked article's text. I don't
know if this is a cause for concern. Lambda kid (talk) 16:24, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The first paragraph says " The summit was overshadowed, however, by bomb attacks in London on the first day of the conference." But the London bombings were on July 7, the SECOND day. Doidimais Brasil 03:10, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
:it was the first full day - they met on the evening of the 6th for a dinner. Rd232 17:00, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

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 insure 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.

message: There is a slow-motion edit war about one aspect of 31st G8 summit.  
Beginning with the 3rd G7 summit in London in 1977, the President of the European Commission or his successor President of the European Union has been a formal participant in successive annual events -- see   In each article about G7/G8 summits, Lucie-Marie has deleted text about EU participation.  These serial reverts ignored hyperlinks in the supporting inline citations which were also deleted.  Despite attempts to engage discussion here, no consensus has been achieved. Her opinions  here have merit, but they remain only opinions.  No cited source supports these reverts.  Our core policies require something different. WP:V seems relevant because "the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth — whether readers can check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true."

A slow-motion edit war is worrisome; but discussion can be constructive -- see  Muskoka 2010: G8 members
The edit history of 36th G8 summit records an unhelpful pattern:
# diff 17:40, 9 July 2008 Lucy-marie (6,628 bytes) (→Composition of summit leaders) 
#   diff 16:48, 20 July 2008 Lucy-marie (10,987 bytes) (→Leaders at the summit: EU is invited and could be left off the invite list so it is not a oermenet member) 
# diff 21:54, 10 April 2009 Lucy-marie m (24,339 bytes) (→Leaders at the summit) 
#   diff 19 March 2010 JLogan (24,837 bytes) (EU is a permanent participant, not merely a guest. check the main page) 
The same pattern is seen at 37th G8 summit:
