Old/Untitled comments[edit]

Is the source of her LLD honourary? Is this true to Wikipedia conventions?

What sort of leukemia did she have? I heard it was chronic leukemia, but does anyone know if it was CML or CLL? Dylan Slade 00:36, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Barbarafrum.jpg[edit]

Image:Barbarafrum.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 Wikipedia articles 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 Wikipedia: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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks[edit]

Whoever added the comment regarding Barbara Frum's American fans, who were also crushed by her death - thank you for being inclusive. I'm American and still remember watching the Journal the night she died. Like Peter Jennings, her loss was felt beyond mere borders. 98.196.202.92 04:09, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stamford Collegiate[edit]

Stamford Collegiate Secondary School named their Tech wing after her. The Barbara Frum Tech Wing or something along those lines. It's been a year and a half since I last entered the school, seeing as I graduated, but it's been the Barbara Frum tech wing since I began school there back in 2000. 69.156.176.17 (talk) 04:22, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peacock Terms[edit]

Please identify peacock terms. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SaskatchewanSenator (talk • contribs) 06:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"tough, incisive and well-informed interviewer" "one of CBC Radio's most popular and enduring programs (it still airs today, in virtually the same format" "Frum's interviews were the show's centrepiece, and made it one of Canadian television's most popular programs." "it was in fact one of the highest-rated individual programs in Canadian television history." (that's been tagged for "citation needed" since October 2007} "memorable editorial cartoon". This is still rather a hagiography for a newsreader. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"memorable editorial cartoon" is a peacock term. "Popular" is often a peacock term, but with something like a TV show where popularity is measured by ratings, it's okay to use it. All of these statements are missing sources, which is a problem, but it's a different problem.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 18:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any peacock terms left?--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 23:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Matthew Frum[edit]

There are links to David Frum and Linda Frum, but none to Matthew Frum. Is there any information on the web about what he is doing now? There is a reference that he moved to Vancouver.
