Talk:Julian Byng, 1st Viscount Byng of Vimy

message: In any way related to Admiral John Byng - the one who was shot for following the rules and not winning the battle ? --185.17.205.109 (talk) 13:35, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relations 

message: Much of the wording of this article -- although not all -- appears to be very, very close to the official bio of Byng on the Canadian GG's website: http://www.gg.ca/gg/fgg/bios/01/byng_e.asp
The GG's website does have a policy allowing Non-commercial Reproduction (see http://www.gg.ca/in-ai/index_e.asp#1) but they ask that "The Office of the Secretary to the Governor General be identified as the source department..."
Should the Byng article include a credit and/or link to Byng's page on the GG site? Cheers, Madmagic 13:04, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The article has since been extensively expanded and no longer bears much resemblence to Canada's Governor-General site. Dormskirk (talk) 18:13, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyright violations in this article/ Credit of source? 

message: Just a quick question - how would you pronounce the name Byng? "Bing"? I'm asking because there's a pronounciation key in Arthur Meighen's page, and I'm simply curious.

message: One third of this article is about various honours received by Lord Byng of Vimy. Perhaps this section should be shortened. Tryde (talk) 08:34, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I restored the eponyms. Such a section is present on all articles on Canadian governors general. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 14:30, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That's fine as long as the article does not fail its assessment because of this: it should be OK as I have now fully referenced the eponyms. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 20:51, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
