reshuffle - shadow cab
Hi - as per your updates here - If you have time would you please update the comment at the end of this section Ed_Miliband - I am still a bit unsure as to who went where. Off2riorob (talk) 22:16, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I've added the "who's in, who's out" bit, but I don't think that section really should catalogue exactly who got what job at each reshuffle. There's already a whole article about that called Shadow Cabinet of Ed Miliband (for which I've added a main thingy at the top of the section). Anyway, that's a task for next week as I will be not be around the computer much the next few days.
 * Thanks, I am leaning a little in agreement with your comment that perhaps just a comment that he had a shuffle and a link to the main article - I will let it settle for a day or two and have a reassessment, thanks for the update anyways. Off2riorob (talk) 00:37, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Speaking of which, could you keep tabs at Harriet Harman? The page protection lapses tomorrow (tonight, really), but the dispute isn't resolved. Oh, and can you take a look at my latest proposal at Talk:Harriet Harman? I don't feel bad about the impromptu canvass since I have no idea what you think about the dispute, and we've disagreed at least as much as we've agreed. -Rrius (talk) 23:12, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I was attempting to avoid opining, as it does seem confused - I was feeling to respect your well informed position. If I had to opine, my solution position on the dispute is pretty much the two state solution - official in the infobox and the used in the article with an explanation as to ..general usage..in the article body - Yes, at least as much disagreement as agreement. I will return to watchlisting the Harmen bio and read the updates on the talkpage - I removed it last week.. I was hoping about the dispute that the reshuffle would resolve it but I realised its a historic detail so updates won't help. As a minimum until the dispute is resolved on the talkpage the content can be stable as it has been while protected. Regards, and thanks - Off2riorob (talk) 00:37, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville
Could you please explain to me why you have singled out Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville to use the —, while all the other Alberta electoral districts use a -? Could you also explain what you mean by "A website"? The official list of districts can be found at http://www.elections.ab.ca/Public%20Website/1283.htm, and you will see they all use a -. 117Avenue (talk) 04:02, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Do you have a reply? 117Avenue (talk) 05:08, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Whatever, blindly follow the punctuation mistakes of others. I'm frankly tired of the typical bullshit at Wikipedia and am in no mood to discuss this. -Rrius (talk) 06:35, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Do you remember these 2 ghost towns?

 * I think they died when Cam left. I can't remember the last time I looked at either one. -Rrius (talk) 05:09, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's been 11 months now, since Cam disappeared. GoodDay (talk) 05:16, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

US prez campaign turns into reality TV
Howdy Rrius. Just as I was getting more interested in watching the campaign for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, 'garbage' reporting came into the scene (see Herman Cain's troubles). CNN's rating must've been really low, to wanna go this route. GoodDay (talk) 18:58, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Reality TV?!! Next year, there will be no candidate worth leading this country! No one seems to know what to do in this economical crisis except the same: cut taxes; cut services, etc. or put out a jobs program or another that I do not know what it is a begin with! Cain's story no differernt from the clowns when Bill Clinton first ran for president! I even had forgotten that election day is tomorrow! Thank you & good night.

 * I think it is funny that the Republicans are probably going to have to nominate someone they hate because either no one they actually like ran or because no one can actually live up to their standards. Of course, there is the outside possibility that because there are no more winner-take-all states, Romney won't be able to get a majority, so there'd be a brokered convention. -Rrius (talk) 06:02, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Romney will get the nomination, but he'll have to choose his running-mate carefully. Romney-Jindal? ya never know. GoodDay (talk) 09:16, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Your moves of peers' articles
Surely you can see that in such cases as Michael Williams (diplomat), Mike Storey and so on there was a decision made on the talk page to leave the titles as they were? What do you think gives you the right to ignore these decisions and impose your own views?--Kotniski (talk) 08:47, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, and when you make knowingly controversial bold moves, please don't add a template do the resulting redirect. It's really stretching credulity to ask us to believe that you're not doing it simply to prevent someone from reversing the move.--Kotniski (talk) 09:05, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

List of United States Senators from Ohio
on 19 December 2008,,  you edited  List of United States Senators from Ohio and listed the term for Thomas Morris (Ohio politician) ending December 7, 1839. That doesn't agree with his congressional biography, which lists the traditional end date of March 3, 1839 :.

This edit may be old, but was never updated. Please try to come up with a source for this strange date. Roseohioresident (talk) 00:55, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * As you say, it is an old edit. Do you seriously expect me to have any recollection about a minor detail from a massive edit of the page three years ago? It may have been an error, it may have been a date found somewhere, indeed CongBio may have listed that date at the time—I have no idea, and no desire to research it. So no, I will not try to come up with any such thing. One thing you should realize is that CongBio cannot be taken as gospel; they are frequently wrong. Anyway, do what you want, but if you change the date, it is March 4, not March 3 (regardless of what CongBio says). There is a CRS report on the March 4 thing, but I'm not going to look for it. If you are really interested, it shouldn't be hard to find with a Google search. By that point the assumption on the part of Congress was that terms went from March 4 to March 4. Indeed, they later ran sessions right up to noon on March 4. -Rrius (talk) 04:39, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

File:41st Can House.svg
Hello. I don't keep track of the House of Commons seating schedule, so I don't know if there has been a sitting since Goldring's transition to independent, but File:41st Can House.svg needs to be updated. 117Avenue (talk) 23:47, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I completely missed that. -Rrius (talk) 00:19, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, I did see the story that he resigned the whip, but I completely forgot about, so no excuse. -Rrius (talk) 00:36, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Ahhh, you added the independent, but you didn't remove the Conservative. 117Avenue (talk) 21:25, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
