Talk:Reg Alcock

Footnote #8 (Reg Alcock in this article is incorrect — the Liberal "Red Book" platform was released in September of 1993 and it was my company (along with a business partner) that did the work both on the Liberal Red Book (online edition) and Reg Alcock's website (and launch). Both pieces were posted online simultaneously to the best of my recollection of the project(s) - leaving me to conclude that the citation of 1995 as the date for the first launch of a website for a sitting Canadian MP should be 1993; not 1995.  How should a correction be handled given this evidence? ross613 19:49, 26 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello. I wrote the line that you're referring to, and my question is straightforward: do you have any proof that this is so? Being true isn't a sufficient condition for material to be included on-wiki; it has to be verifiable as well.


 * I've rechecked the original Associated Press article, and I've noticed that it doesn't technically say that the website had *just* been launched in 1995 (although this was implied by the title, "Manitoba lawmaker enters cyberspace." I can't include your information as yet, but I *can* rephrase the wording so that it doesn't indicate 1995 as the specific year.


 * (Incidentally, Alcock *couldn't* have become the first MP to have their own website at the time of the Red Book's launch in 1993, given that he wasn't an MP as yet.) CJCurrie (talk) 03:58, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
