Talk:Jenny Shipley

I don't believe this
Jenny Shipley was many things (slips). But first and foremost, she was NZ's first woman PM, and that's what the intro to this story about Jenny Shipley should say. If there are whys and wherefores about how she became PM, then  they belong in the article, not in the intro. Moriori 07:28, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Tourism scandal
Actually Shipley had never even met Kevin Roberts at the time the tourism board contract was granted. I propose to edit the entry to reflect this. DPF 04:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

What is the relevant policy here re (un)official National Party Hagiographers editing articles on National Party politicians?Rbarraud (talk) 10:17, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

New material
What is the origin of the sections "Life after politics" and "Cabinet Minister", which were added yesterday in one large unwikified chunk? I have no substantial problem with the content of the material, and other people will wikify it over time, but I am concerned it may be a copyright violation from some other source. I cannot find such a source online, but it may have come from a print source or from a site not accessible to Google.- gadfium 20:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It reads like it came from a Shipley bio. There maybe a copy vio. --Lholden 05:12, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Since the originator has not responded to my question about the origin of the material, I have reverted to the previous version.- gadfium 06:32, 21 May 2007 (UT

The documentation submitted was from Jenny Shipley's bio. Supplied with her permission and certainly more correct than her having health problems and living in Thames. She has never lived in Thames. She asked me to change the false information that you currently are showing
 * I've removed the disputed material. Is the bio you refer to online? We will need some proof of the permission, and the material will need to be rewritten to conform to our Manual of style.- gadfium 23:51, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

A great article on her, specifically life since being PM

Dame jenny Shipley?
After the recent changes to the New Zealand honour system, with the restoration of Knighthoods and Damehoods, she is now eligible to have her title of DCNZM converted into a DNZM.

Has she converted and is he now using the title of 'Dame'? If so it should be added.

 * I've not seen anything indicating she would. --Lholden (talk) 08:51, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm very willing to supply alternative designations for this woman, albeit unofficial.Rbarraud (talk) 10:13, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
