Talk:Attorney General for England and Wales

message: "However, the present Solicitor General (Harriet Harman MP QC) is a Solicitor."
Surely she's actually a Queen's Counsel, hence the letters QC after her name?

message: This page needs one, since the office has frequently come in for criticism due to a lack of transparency and lack of separation of powers. See here for example. Malick78 (talk) 14:55, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The article is about the office and its functions, etc. The person occupying the office is secondary, therefore I don't think it should be mentioned in the intro. Rui Gabriel Correia (talk) 21:21, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: the coverage of the person occupying the office consists entirely of the sentence " The current Attorney General is Jeremy Wright, MP." Secondary does not mean "zero coverage" ;p. Ironholds (talk) 00:50, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

text: I have no idea what you are talking about when you say "zero coverage". Of course it can be included, but not right at the top. You could right the entire article without even mentioning  who the title holder is and the article would sill make perfect sense. That is what I mean by secondary. Just like you could right about the institution of Mayor of [city] without citing that person. I am not saying ignore, it, I am just saying not so close to the top. Look at Mayor of New York City (not mentioned in intro) and President of the United States (mentioned right at bottom of lengthy intro). But perhaps I am wrong, I see quite a few other insances where the name is cited right at the top. Perhaps there should be some WP guidance on this?

replies: text: The current holder gets a single sentence, one-clause long. I don't think this is important or disputed enough a topic to necessitate site-wide guidance. Ironholds (talk) 17:53, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
