thread_title:  Trivia 

message: Having relinquished the Tory whip and crossed the floor, Makepeace would be ineligible to stand for the Conservative leadership.
Is this technically true? I'd have to check but IIRC there was no requirement in the rules for a candidate for the Conservative leadership to be an MP and therefore taking the whip. (I think Lord Sutch joined the party in 1990 in the hope of standing for the leadership and then running the country from the Strangers' Gallery!) And since the Conservative Party didn't have a national membership scheme at the time, I wonder if there actually was anything stopping an MP on the opposition benches who could get sufficient nominations to stand. Timrollpickering 23:58, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is the reasoning is based on a strict reading of rules for a party that in those days wasn't very big on them. The Makepeace situation would be unusual but if he could find the formal support required it may have been politically hard to stop him regardless of technicalities even if he had been semi-detached in Parliament since declaring his intention to challenge. (In the book towards the end when Urquhart's capital is collapsing a lot of MPs start openly talking on Makepeace as the next leader even though he is now an Independent. In the real world a number of political parties have seen the leadership go to outsiders or detached figures, whether by challenge or invitation, though UK examples are rare - a few cases of Irish nationalist parties where the leader of a splinter group became the leader of the main force, merging his grouping inwards. Indeed in 1995 there was a one-man Northern Irish Unionist party seeking just that.) Really such an assertion on this should be sourced to any knowledgeable study - e.g. a political scientist's published critique of divergence from accuracy - and not just stated as fact without sources - classic original research .

thread_title: The List

message: Homage and swipe are two separate concepts and the combination of their use here is incorrect. Homages are greatly accepted by all comic artists and considered respectful. It's also pretty common to acknowledge the original artist in the credits. A swipe is a complete uncredited tracing of stealing of another artist work. It is frowned upon greatly and has in some cases ruined people's careers when revealed. I suggest separating them and acknowledging the difference.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.64.19.75 (talk) 11:35, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Advertisement 

message: The requirements for a Good Article are as follows:
1. It is well written. In this respect: 
* There is some awkward wording of the prose.  For example, the first sentence of the History section seems awkward.  “was opened?”  Just “opened” by itself sounds more correct.  Similar awkward wordings are found throughout the article and need to be corrected.
* Too many lists; the entire membership section and Courses subsection are nothing but lists.  Lists are discouraged in GA and these sections should be converted to prose.
*The courses subsection mmediately jumps into the AP subsubsection.  This is not appropriate usage of sections.  You do not just jump from subsection to subsubsection.
2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. In this respect, it: 
* There are definitely not enough citations.  I’ve added a few “citation needed” templates, but basically stopped after the History section because so many citations are needed.  The intro and the first 2 sections after it as a total only have a total of three citations.  All facts, statistics, statements need to be supported with citations from reliable sources.  Please see WP:Cite and WP:Sources for more information.
* Several individuals listed as notable alumni do not have citations supporting the fact that they attended this school.  Citations are needed or the individuals need to be removed.
* The currently included references are, for the most part, not correctly made.  You need to include as much information as possible, include the author’s name, publication date, accession date, etc. etc.
*As a more recent note, upon thinking about it and reviewing the article again, a lot of the references are from the WCA website.  The best references tend to be those written by third-parties (not-related to WCA, i.e., newspapers, magazines, etc.).
