Dido

I really think that Dido Armstrong should be listed as such, rather than as Dido, as that's her name.

Done! -- Oliver P. 02:58 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)

Location

Perhaps this should be moved to a sub-page, specifically Westminster School/Former pupils?
-- James F. (talk) 03:19 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)

No no no, subpages are frowned upon these days. There are loads of "List of..." pages in the "top level" article space. They seem to be quite standard. (Actually, if I recall correctly, all the articles are at the same level anyway, the "/" being treated as just another character in the title. But I could be wrong about that.) -- Oliver P. 03:19 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)
Hmm, very well. I remember sub-pages being all the rage when I started out here... ;-) Of course, that 'everyone else is doing it' isn't really a great excuse, but I'll live with it for now.
James F. (talk) 03:29 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)
Oh, and I think the abbreviations "OW" and "OWW" need explaining in this page, or the Westminster School page, or perhaps both! -- Oliver P. 03:23 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)

Grounds for inclusion

Can I add my own name, or do I have to be famous? —Ashley Y 12:54, Jan 17, 2004 (UTC)

I think that you have to be sufficiently well known to have an article about you on the Wikipedia; the criteria for this criterion are located here. We could have a page for OW Wikipedians, though (there would be at least 3 entries, to my knowledge)...

Matthew Scott OW

... is the man who was kidnapped in Columbia whilst trekking on his gap-year holiday. At the time of writing, Wikipedia has not seen fit to bless him with an article, but if we do at some point do so, the following should be added:

  • Matthew Scott (born 1983), Columbian kidnap victim

references for former Iranian PM

here ambassador to the court of st james' - http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:dQyJLS-qjK8J:www.iransoc.dircon.co.uk/WebPage8.html+hussein+ala++AND+westminster+school&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd=1&ie=UTF-8

..becoming Iranian envoy to the UN ....

..and then PM in 1951 ( long article):

http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:sSVGlffhDWYJ:news.quickfound.net/intl/iran_news.html+hussein+ala+AND+iran+AND+shah&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd=3&ie=UTF-8

Definitely the same man, as all searches inidicate only one Hussein Ala as minister under the Shah, all fitting the same timescale and career progression.

mentioned here as being 68 in 1951 :

Otherwise

Because it is not otherwise stated, the impression is given the Nick Clegg and Guttenplan are British. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.26.1.208 (talk) 15:16, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This applies to another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.26.1.208 (talk) 15:17, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Peter Ustinov might have been a British subject.
