message: Article contains "The Chatham House Rule resolves a boundary problem faced by many communities of practice, in that it permits acknowledgment of the community or conversation, while protecting the freedom of interaction that is necessary for the community to carry out its conversations." which seems opaque, confusing, and unneccessary. Can we just delete it, or is it trying to say something relevant ? Rod57 (talk) 02:22, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Where exactly is the Chatham House Rule codified?  Is it part of a larger Chatham House rulebook?  Does it just float out there in the ether? 71.57.41.180 (talk) 20:41, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

message: 'Having stated this, several thought leaders contest that there is in fact a series of rules, commensurate to the pirate code set down in by Morgan and Bartholomew, however, these are more guidelines than an actual rule.'
Who are these 'thought leaders'? Who are Morgan & Bartholomew? Is the pirate code set down 'in' or 'by'?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dean1954 (talk • contribs) 11:55, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

message: @Blairall Not sure why Margaret Thatcher exiting the building is relevant to this article on the Chatham House Rule. Understand that it *is* relevant to the Chatham House article, where it also appears. Did she have a specific angle in evoking the rule? Cielquiparle (talk) 21:00, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you very much for your message. I selected this image for here not because Margaret Thatcher had a specific angle in evoking the rule, but because she would be the type of high-profile public figure who could benefit from the rule. So instead of having the exact same image from the top of the Chatham House article, I thought it might be somewhat more interesting to include a historical figure like her in addition to the Chatham House doorway. However, if you object to this image, then please feel free to change the image back to the previous one. -- Blairall (talk) 21:17, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Blairall Seems ironic to associate a specific person with the Chatham House Rule, when the whole point of the Chatham House Rule is to avoid attribution. Anonymity is key. Think we have to depersonalise and revert to the picture of the building only. Cielquiparle (talk) 11:23, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I see your point, and your proposal is fine with me. -- Blairall (talk) 20:39, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
