Talk:Grant MacEwan

There's been considerable discussion of late about honorifics, and the majority view (though whether or not it counted as a consensus was unclear) was that articles shouldn't start by using honorifics (there's even some opposition to using "Dr"). If there's a place in the text that the title can be mentioned (and explained), that would be fine.

Ok, I see why you removed "The Honourable". However, why did you remove the honour section? He did receive an Order of Canada and an Alberta Order of Excellence. These should be part of the article. --YUL89YYZ 16:30, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

A reference to the fact that he received a number of honorary degrees, etc. would be more appropriate, with more details of the two Orders. (For example, Willard Van Orman Quine received eighteen honorary degrees, but I don't think thay're even mentioned in his article.) Do you have details of the Orders, and the reason for their bestowal? Perhaps an extra paragraph, or mention of each of them in the relevant chrocological section?

 * Getting the Order of Canada is definitely significant. So, I have put it back in.  Unless there is consensus to delete the category Category:Members of the Order of Canada, please do not remove it.  -- JamesTeterenko 18:15, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

You seem to have missed the point; I was asking whether there was information as to why he received it. That he was awarded it is mildly interesting, but only with the reason is genuine significance presented.

 * Whether the reason is present or not should not result in important information being omitted from the article. Probably an extension of the discussions mentioned in the first comment, but I find that it is important to give the full official title of a person right off the bat. I shouldnt have to look through the article to see if the person is a Doctor... until there is a proper investigation into honourifics instead of a supposed majority ruling, I suggest we keep the article as is.

Fair use rationale for Image:MacEwan LtGov.jpg
Image:MacEwan LtGov.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
