Removal from the Order of Canada

[edit]

Self-renom. Ok, I figured it should try to get this going again. Just like with my Appointment article, some of the sections will be a bit wordy. I will go through that and fix it. Plus, only two photos are used and both are under CanadaCopyright. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 01:48, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I forgot to mention that. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 06:34, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support, however I feel that the images (Image:Order Canada seal.png and Image:Ahenakew 1976.jpg) should be given a fair use rationale. Otehr than that, well written, well referened. WegianWarrior 07:04, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. I mainly said that those are the most free images we can use in the article or even find online. I cannot find the seal image anywhere else except for the Canada Gazette. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 07:10, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Object Why isn't this integrated with the Appointment to the Order of Canada? Tony 10:57, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • I've had a look at the 'Appointment' and 'Removal' articles, and still think that they should be merged. I read the opening paragraph of 'Removal' and made two grammatical corrections; please get someone to go through the whole article and correct the prose. I'm sorry, I can't bear to do it, because I think these awards are so much poppycock, and should be trashed in every country. In view of my bias, I suppose that it's (note your incorrect usage below, Zscout) only fair that I withdraw my objection. Tony 00:50, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • I can fix the grammar, since that is something I can fix. But, as I mentioned before, this article was put up for merging and that request was denied. The main Order of Canada article is 30 kb long, which is getting close to being "too large" under Wikipedia rules. If I sounded harsh or unreasonable, I am sorry, but I respectfully ask if either you or Raul can strike out the objection by using <s> and </s>.

  • Both articles are forks of Order of Canada, which is also has the FA status. The Appointment article discusses the whole process of getting into the Order and examples of certain people having unique examples, like Rush, Wayne Gretzky, and Gordon Lightfoot. In this article, two people got kicked out of the Order and my main point with this article is how it can be done, what a person has to do in order to be kicked out and short sectionson the two folks who got removed from the Order. But, if you mean why both articles were nominated at different times, I was told I cannot flood FAC's and both articles are completely different in their own respects.
