Talk:Monarchy in the Commonwealth Realms

message: The word "symmetrical" is used to describe how the monarch/monarchy/crown is shared as it is exactly how Ontario Superior Court Justice Rouleau described it in a 2003 ruling about the Act of Settlement. As he stated: "As a result of the Statute of Westminster it was recognized that any alterations in the rules of succession would no longer be imposed by Great Britain and, if symmetry among commonwealth countries were to be maintained..."; "Unilateral changes by Canada to the rules of succession, whether imposed by the court or otherwise, would be contrary to the commitment given in the Statute of Westminster, would break symmetry and breach the principle of union under the British Crown..."; "The operation of this commitment to symmetry and union of Canada under the British Crown" [bold mine]. In fact, I'll reference the court ruling in the article. --G2bambino 01:07, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He also describes "union under the British Crown" (my bold). Shall we reference this as well? There are quite a few articles for which this might be pretty useful. TharkunColl 07:08, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Symmetrical 

message: Seems very odd to the places listed have a flag or a royal standard. At least make them all uniform, one or the other. If only some have the royal standard also, then add it afterwards to the right side. That-Vela-Fella 05:56, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I was a little iffy about the mixed flags myself.  It seemed that if this page was explicitly about the monarchies rather than the countries then the royal standard was more appropriate over a national flag.  But, of course, not all Ralms have a royal standard.  I'll change the national flags to the Queen's generic standard for the time being - though perhaps something else is better. I'll change them all to the national flags for the time being - though perhaps something else is better. --G2bambino 14:36, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi  - I'm not quite sure of what you're suggesting here. Can you explain further, please? But it did cause me to have a look at the criticism section, and wonder why we're giving so much weight to quotes by irrelevant commentators. Do we really care what Bill Hassell's opinion is? It looks more like a Facebook comment than a serious WP:CRITICISM. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 03:49, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps the criticism section should be cleaned up a bit so that the main criticisms are stated first and expanded on followed by a relevant direct quote from a commentator making that specific argument. For example; the 'invented tradition' criticism could expand on the relatively recent custom, being developed by Ernie Dingo etc. Rather than just a quote like "Windschuttle calls them "an invented tradition."Jayykke (talk) 10:48, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Source for Bess Price quote 

message: The article currently says
The cited reference says "The Protocols require..." but "Compliance: Not Mandatory". The link from that - ref Recognition of Aboriginal Cultural Protocols and Practices - doesn't work, but the Wayback Machine found it at https://www.dpc.nsw.gov.au/assets/memos-circulars/9c019010f0/Indigenous-Ceremony.pdf, which says (for "official" events) "As a minimum requirement, an Acknowledgement of Country ceremony should be undertaken".
If the Protocol itself is not mandatory - per the cite in the article - surely the welcome/acknowledgement is not mandatory. Or is there some other reference that says it is? Mitch Ames (talk) 03:02, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:President of the Senate (Australia)

message: Rrius has asked for a citation for the following sentence that I wrote:
"Following the controversy with the 1996 election of ALP turned Independent Senator Mal Colston as Deputy President of the Senate, the major parties have come to an understanding that a Government Senator takes the Senate Presidency while the Deputy Presidency goes to an Opposition Senator."
As I said in the edit summary this is how I remembered it at the time. I remembered that Senator John Faulkner the then ALP Opposition Senate Leader expressing his outrage in the Senate over the Coalition support for Senator Mal Colston as Deputy Senate President and he said that Government party gets the Senate presidency and the Opposition party gets the Deputy presidency.
If it is a citation that Rrius wants I would suggest that he looks up Hansard for the Senate on August 20 1996, the day that particular event happened and he would find that Senator Faulkner did make such a statement over who gets the presidency and the deputy presidency of the Senate.
Also if one notices that since Senator Colston relinquished the Deputy presidency, the President has always been a Government Senator and the Deputy President is an Opposition Senator. The Shadow Treasurer (talk) 22:36, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Am I missing something? Timeshift (talk) 08:49, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: According to my hardback Parliamentary Handbook, the Dept of External Affairs was abolished on 14 November 1916 and its functions incorporated into the Dept of Home and Territories and the PM's Dept.  There was no Minister for External Affairs in Billy Hughes's National Labour ministry (1916-1917).  The portfolio was revived on 17 February 1917, at the start of Hughes's Nationalist ministries, and it was held by PM Hughes himself throughout the period 1917-23.  The Dept of External Affairs was only re-established on 21 December 1921.  These details are no longer shown in the online version, unfortunately.

However, there has never been a formal suggestion that the article should be deleted, so there can't be an appeal of the decision. Also, there was no place on the review page for comments.

message: I see people are starting an edit war...
1) I changed it to Black African decent to make everyone happy.
2) It seems in his time he was viewed as Black and Not mixed race so, calling him mixed race by today's standard is deceptive.
3) Race is a social construct thus, no need to get into a pissing contest over this. Leave it as is... In the write up it talks about his parents background thus, it is clearified there.

message: This article is severly conflicted and confused. The name and lead of this article talks of volunteer non-profit organizations. However, the the term "third sector", which is a redirect, also describes what are also called public-private parterships (PPPs). 
So, the question is, should the article be moved to the current redirect of "third sector" with the lead more clearly explaining the scope of the article, as the article really describes both uses of that term? Or should the material about PPPs be moved over a seperate article with that title, with third sector becoming a disambiguation page? oknazevad (talk) 04:48, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

message: So I've been considering a way to organize the Wikipedia pages that deal with the Order of St John and St John Ambulance.

What are your thoughts on that for this page? I'm posting similar requests for feedback on the other national ambulance pages.
