Talk:Andrew Leslie (Canadian Army officer)

message: This is very POV.--(GriffinSB) (talk) 11:23, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. Aside from the very poor use of English this is all very POV, and no citations are provided.  Thus we have no way of knowing if any of this is true, and we can't have it in the encyclopedia.  Please find some citations that show that any of this is real, and we can certainly work it in.

thread_title: Due to poor reporting from CTV and CBC, the VCDS released the following statement on behalf of the CDS

message: I juggled a few paragraphs around into chronological order and added a couple of section headings.  This made it pretty obvious that we are thin on a good bit of his life.
We could have an "early life" section that mentioned he was born somewhere and went to school and played football somewhere.  There is a reference that he went to college, since the lead says he went from college to the military, but that is a pretty quick overview for 22 years or so of his life!  I shouldn't imagine that any of that could be considered disputative or tied up with the current legal case.
I also added a section on "family" because there was a sentence saying he had grandchildren.  This implies to me that he probably had children, and from that there is an even bet he had one or more wives over the years.  A few sentences could be added saying something about these people, at least names and numbers. :-)

message: There were several additions I made (re: Leslie being offered a job at the RCMP or the Civilization Museum) and more context about his expense scandal. All were well-referenced. Why were they removed? Gentek16 (talk) 00:26, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have restored the text for you and inserted the reference at the end of the paragraph. It was not properly referenced before but it certainly is now. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 20:07, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

message: I made a few additions for Leslie's military career. It looked like it was a bit sparse since most of it was concentrated under the Manitoba floods section (like the ice storm disaster which was a separate operation). A bit more detail could have also been added for his career in Afghanistan, so I've added those there too. Grilledtandoorismoke (talk) 14:23, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
