Semi-protected edit request on 11 July 2018

Please update the expired PoliticsHome link which currently points to an archive article to this active link https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/political-parties/conservative-party/opinion/house-commons/96662/dominic-raab-we-must-end Mattlpfoster (talk) 10:11, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Resignation

It can now go in the article that Dominic Raab has resigned as Brexit secretary. Vorbee (talk) 08:59, 15 November 2018 (UTC) I see that that is in the article now, so many thanks to the Wikipedian who helped to update the article.Vorbee (talk) 15:35, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Television debate appearance

Re this revert, I don't quite see how this can be judged as "recentism". As far as I know, Raab has never before taken part in a televised debate of any kind apart from Question Time in March 2019. But there seem to be no instances of his appearing on television mentioned in the entire article. I suspect he will not appear in the second Conservative Leader debate scheduled for tomorrow evening on BBC. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:59, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

At Ramallah

Mention of Raab's stay at Ramallah was followed by a parenthesis about Hamas in Gaza. This was irrelevant to Raab, and Ramallah was properly identified in the sentence already, so I took out the parenthesis. (I could have said that in the summary, but I forgot to insert a summary.)

Request for Semi-Protection

Requesting such steps as this man is in a high office, the PM's de facto deputy as First Secretary of State and holds one of the great offices of states. The Chancellor's Wikepedia [age is semi-protetced. This page poses a major risk to vandalism.

Pages are not preemptively protected. No vandalism has taken place, so no need to protect. —C.Fred (talk) 01:02, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Acting Prime Minister

Stop the edit wars. He is in fact acting as prime minister. --Bohbye (talk) 19:35, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I know Raab is deputised to Johnson's roles but do you have a reliable source that explictly states Raab is now the acting Prime Minister? Regards  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 20:25, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52192604 Thanks, EditQwerty (talk) 20:32, 6 April 2020 (UTC)EditQwerty[reply]
That source says 'deputise where necessary' -- that's very different from assuming the role of PM or holding the title. No media source is using "acting PM" or that Raab has taken on all PM duties. — MouldyFox (talk) 20:35, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. Until we find RSs which explictly state Raab is acting prime minister we should not include it. Regards  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 20:38, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Precisely. We shouldn't be making up positions that don't exist, it's deeply irresponsible on our end, and until he is officially defined as the "Acting PM" we should refrain from defining him as what he is not.BitterGiant (talk) 20:41, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The IfG has an article explicitly stating the position does not exist, and why. https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers/acting-prime-ministers — MouldyFox (talk) 20:44, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Whether or not the office exists de jure is irrelevant. The office of Prime Minister didn't exist de jure until the early 1900s, but everyone acted as though it did. Raab is de facto deputy PM, so de facto acting PM. The infobox should reflect that.GibbNotGibbs (talk) 20:59, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It should reflect that if he is actually Acting PM, but he isn't; He's the First Secretary of State doing what the FSS does in this situation. The infobox shouldn't reflect something which doesn't exit, which is this idea that he's somehow become Acting PM when he's just the FSS deputising for Johnson. For all this talk of de facto and de jure, you miss the point that he's neither.BitterGiant (talk) 21:06, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:yeungkahchun he is not Acting PM, please see discussion, the position does not exist and no credible source has defined him as suchBitterGiant (talk) 20:48, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deputisng in the lead

@EditQwerty: I know what you are adding is true and sourced by RSs that Raab has deputised to Johnson's role but as I stated in my edit summary this is a case of WP:RECENTISM and is currently not worth mentioning in the lead. Please self-revert. Regards  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 20:58, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply] 

"where necessary"  Thanks, EditQwerty (talk) 20:59, 6 April 2020 (UTC)EditQwerty[reply]

Rennie

Do we have a rock solid proof that his full name is indeed "Dominic Rennie Raab"? The jokes in association with the stomach and intestine medicine of the same name would write themselves... unless the joke is on us! --Edelseider (talk) 19:53, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

According to The London Gazette (which is "one of the official journals of record or Government gazettes of the British government") his full name is Dominic Rennie Raab [1]. Regards  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 20:28, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]


1942, not 1938

Unfortunately Dominic Raab has given wrong information about his father's immigration, which has now been published in several places. "His father, who was Jewish, came to Britain from Czechoslovakia in 1938 aged six." According to Raab's aunt, and also according to the documentation, the family arrived in 1942, not 1938. See the tree on Geni at https://www.geni.com/people/Peter-Raab/6000000032036028018 and the immigration document at https://photos.geni.com/p13/5a/a6/1b/9b/534448540e7bbf53/screen_shot_2020-04-07_at_11_original.jpg. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Randols (talk • contribs) 18:02, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Volunteering on Kibbutz

Dominic Raab volunteered on Kibbutz Sarid during his gap year. Adding this fact isn't vandalism, and adds valuable content to the biography. Can we add it in again please?Baalmaloche (talk) 21:38, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2019 Election result

The article includes the Esher and Walton constituency result for every election in which Dominic Raab has stood except the latest in 2019. Given that he saw his majority reduced from over 23000 to under 3000 it is surely important information which is relevant to understanding the electorates view of him given that this represented the biggest swing against a Conservative MP in the general election. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:C804:5D00:F17D:3711:BDA3:ABAA (talk) 09:13, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Done It was in the infobox but I have now added it to prose [2]. Regards  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 10:36, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What will Raab's title be as of tomorrow (02/09/2020)?

As the FCO is becoming the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, will Raab's title change to reflect this? Will he become the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Secretary? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanJWilde (talk • contribs) 21:14, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
