Talk:Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia

Requested move
Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia → Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia —(Discuss)— "Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia" is the proper name of the office. Neither the Constitution of Canada nor the province itself make reference to a "Lieutenant-Governor". — Ibagli ( Talk ) 21:18, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem with that, but I see no reason why "Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia" or "Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia" should redirect to a list. If this move is made, "Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia" should redirect to "Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia". Agent 86 21:33, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

 * comment Quite frankly, without the hyphen it looks "modern" and, while it seems the Office of the L-G doesn't use it anymore, perhaps because their style-guideist or web designer homogenized the old BC usage with the rest of Canada, it's a historical fact that it was widely used in BC, and can be seen in the title in the refernces They Gave Royal Assent - The Lieutenant-Governors of British Columbia. and also, if you read the BC papers, you'll see the abbreviation/acronym L-G from time to time; but not "LG" or "L G". The hyphen's part of our culture.  Or was, that is; I've been reading older-era histories and can't recall if one historian uses it and the other doesn't; but it's a valid usage, at least historically, and need not be snitted at....(and for those of us of a certain vintage oureslves, we still use it even though it's not in the official style guide or "modern English"....more's the pity.Skookum1 (talk) 03:13, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
