Wikipedia on Sundays

Haven't you noticed how dead Wikipedia is on weekends, especially Sundays?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:39, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
- I couldn't help my absense. Thank's giving meals & family members, occupied my time. GoodDay (talk) 14:21, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
- I was absent most of the day myself, but Wikipedia was completely dullsville.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:25, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
- Who's tomb is that? GoodDay (talk) 20:14, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Anne_of_Great_Britain
Hey GoodDay. On Talk:Anne_of_Great_Britain you have said you oppose Anne, Queen of Great Britain because you prefer Anne (Great Britain). What you actually meant though, I'm guessing from you comments elsewhere, is that you support the move proposal to Anne, Queen of Great Britain but if it were possible, you'd prefer Anne (Great Britain)? If this is so you should change your vote to support and indicate that you would prefer Anne (Great Britain). It's just that, if you don't, we'll end with 1) Anne of Great Britain and 2) anarchy in the naming conventions of numeral-less monarchs. :) Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 16:04, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- Whatcha suggesting? I support Anne (Great Britain) or Anne, Queen of Great Britain. GoodDay (talk) 16:07, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- 'Tis alright, you've adjusted it anyway. BTW, I wonder if anyone would object to "Queen of Britain" rather than the UK or Great Britain ... PatGallacher opposed Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom because it was a "mouthful". Maybe "Britain" would solve that ... . Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 16:14, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- I'd have to tell ya, with all these RMs going on, I find myself agreeing a tad more with the Monarch # of country folks. I still think Victoria (United Kingdom) would solve things. Also, barring a tragedy, there'll someday be a Queen Victoria of Sweden (though not for some time, due to Swedish monarch longevity). GoodDay (talk) 16:17, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- I was originally with those folks, but I have found the Monarch # of country system to be too clumsy and inflexible. The Name, Monarch # of country has the same advantages with none of the disadvantages. It's a shame it takes so long to change things, but when they are changed I hope you'll realise it is worth it. :) Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 16:21, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- I hope you're right. Meanwhile, we do have existing examples - Albert II, Prince of Monaco, for example. GoodDay (talk) 16:25, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

- If it's your finger you're pointing, that's very rude.....however, if it's something else, that's lewd!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:29, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
- It's the 'something else'. GoodDay (talk) 15:31, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Speaking of cats....
What do you make of this story: Demon Cat?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 12:53, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- I don't get it. Are they trying to imply that Washington DC stands for Demon Cat and not District of Columbia?!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 12:54, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- It's a fictional character, as there's no such things as ghosts. The article seems based on a fictional book. This is the first time I've ever heard of the thing. GoodDay (talk) 14:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- Maybe the Demon Cat was in Dallas on 22 November 1963........--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:01, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- Nay, it seems to hang around the Washington DC, only. GoodDay (talk) 16:02, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- Then that rules out my Tony being the Demon Cat.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:07, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- Quite possible. GoodDay (talk) 14:07, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

NHL Captains & Alternates
No replacements for captains or alternates even if it's a long-term injury? Not a problem! Raul17 (talk) 02:02, 15 October 2010 (UTC) PS: There definitely should not be any replacements listed on team rosters.
- I can't handle what goes on at the Captains list page, but things were sure confusing last year on the rosters, with all the injuries. GoodDay (talk) 14:08, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
Nothing personal
For the record GoodDay, our difference of opinion is just that. It's not personal. We all have the right to express our opinions.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:40, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- Ya know such disagreements never offend me. GoodDay (talk) 14:44, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- I know, but wanted to clarify things.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:44, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- Okie Dokie. GoodDay (talk) 14:47, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- I think it's good to be able to have vastly different POVs without hostility creeping in.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:49, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- For sure & I'm glad Dai feels the same way too. Remember, there's blokes out there who don't want these titles RM'd because of the E/W/S/NI dispute & merely won't those 4 excluded. GoodDay (talk) 14:53, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- I still maintain that the four should be included, seeing as they are separate nations with their own identity, border, culture, and history. --Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:56, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- If Wales, Scotland, England or Northern Ireland ever become sovereign states? I'll back their inclusion. GoodDay (talk) 14:58, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

- The UK parliament never should've handed out those dissolved parliaments to Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland. When will England get theirs? GoodDay (talk) 15:56, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- I believe the correct word is devolved. Ya say ya wanna devolution, well you know we all wanna change the world....--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:58, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps Devolving Kingdom is a more accurate name. GoodDay (talk) 16:00, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- LOL.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:09, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

I've never seen that article. I find that there's not enough images at Breast & Vagina. -- GoodDay (talk) 13:27, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- There's nothing to get off on IMO. To me, clinical photos are about as erotic as a dentist's office.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:53, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

- How the hell would I know, GD?! I've never tried to fondle anybody on the beach! Although I wouldn't have minded with a certain lifeguard. Too bad I'm cursed with timidity and a certain prudishness.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:28, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Pending retirement
In about a week from now, I will be moving to a rental apartment. For financial reasons, I will not be having a computer (thus internet) & so won't be able to particpate here (at Wikipedia). Hopefully, I will be able to afford a computer & internet in 2011 & un-retire. Anyways, just letting ya'll know, ahead of time. GoodDay (talk) 13:26, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Hey, GoodDay. Take it from Jack forbes, retiring isn't all it's made out to be. You and I don't always see eye to eye with each other, but I will miss you from here (not from the S/W/E/NI stuff). I hope your absense is a short one. Jack forbes (talk) 15:53, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hopefully, I'll return sometime next year. GoodDay (talk) 18:33, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Oh no!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:13, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yep, 'tis true. Fear not though, I'll be here for the rest of this week & all of next week. GoodDay (talk) 18:33, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
GoodDay I hope that things work out for you and that we see you back here soon. Wikipedia needs people like you. Bjmullan (talk) 17:23, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks Bj. Wowsers, I'm excited & hoping for some gals to drop in. GoodDay (talk) 18:33, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to hear that, GoodDay. Hope your move goes smoothly, & try to stay cooool. Expect some things to go wrong, so it doesn't take you by surprise. See you in a few months? Daicaregos (talk) 17:28, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hopefully, I'll be able to return sometime in 2011. I eventually will have to get a higher paying, longer serving job. If I'm lucky, I'll meet a gal & she'll live with me and thus share the rent (among other things, hahaha). GoodDay (talk) 18:33, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- What, you mean like, share in the washing up, housework, that kind of thing? Jack forbes (talk) 18:50, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Giggle giggle, I'm hoping she'll share my bed. GoodDay (talk) 18:51, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

- Hahaha. GoodDay (talk) 18:58, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Nice one, GD. She'll end up servicing you in and out of bed, plus footing half the rent. Where will you find someone that accomodating?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:58, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oh no, she don't gotta serve me out side the bed, my major concern is sharing rent. As for the sex? well, that has to be a mutual thing, as a male & female can share an apartment platonically. GoodDay (talk) 15:03, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- I always preferred platonic male flatmates (roommates).--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:02, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

- I always preferred platonic male flatmates (roommates).--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:02, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oh no, she don't gotta serve me out side the bed, my major concern is sharing rent. As for the sex? well, that has to be a mutual thing, as a male & female can share an apartment platonically. GoodDay (talk) 15:03, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- Nice one, GD. She'll end up servicing you in and out of bed, plus footing half the rent. Where will you find someone that accomodating?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:58, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hahaha. GoodDay (talk) 18:58, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Collect the rent first and everything else will follow. :) Jack forbes (talk) 18:56, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Giggle giggle, I'm hoping she'll share my bed. GoodDay (talk) 18:51, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- What, you mean like, share in the washing up, housework, that kind of thing? Jack forbes (talk) 18:50, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
I'm very sorry to hear this GD... I'll be sure to sit down and come up with ironclad arguments for the Monarchy until you come back! :) As for the whole Room mate thing, I think I agree with Jeanne, in that I always preferred female room mates, and it was always platonic. Hell, platonic female roommates were AWESOME because I didn't have to do anything more with them then I would have to with my male buddies, and living with them, you usually get to see them naked sooner or later with no worries that you'll later have to explain why you don't want a relationship! ;) Dphilp75 (talk) 12:18, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

WP Ice Hockey in the Signpost
"WikiProject Report" would like to focus on WikiProject Ice Hockey for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Also, if you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 02:36, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Your comments on this interview are amusing. You do realize this will be read by hundreds of people right? Airing our dirty laundry haha nice. -DJSasso (talk) 15:13, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- I was asked for my honest opinon. I've no intentions of going around removing dios. The dirt in the dirty laundry, is the dios. PS: You're free to respond to my statements there, with a promise that I won't rebut them. GoodDay (talk) 15:27, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- It was more the case of clearly trying to soapbox and recruit to your cause that I was commenting on. There is a difference between saying how new people could help our project and basically saying come and help me destroy the opposition to my position. (my paraphrase obviously) But its all good, I was only mentioning it because it makes you look bad, not because I have disagreed with you in the past. -DJSasso (talk) 15:58, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oh well, it all could backfire on me. A whole new group of pro-dios editors could show up at WP:HOCKEY & the articles. Anyways, no probs. GoodDay (talk) 16:03, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Mark Fraser
I am wondering if the Devils placed Mark Fraser on the IR list. He had a pin placed in his fractured right hand and would be out four to six weeks. The last few games, I have noticed that he is listed on the NHL gameday roster as a scratch while Brian Rolston and Bryce Salvador are not listed in the Devils' last game:
http://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20102011/RO020128.HTM
With the recalls of Vasyunov and Eckford, there will be four extra bodies (unless someone is placed on IR) on the roster. Raul17 (talk) 23:17, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- If Fraser is out 4-6 weeks, that looks like IR, to me. GoodDay (talk) 13:38, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
- According to the Devils official website, Fraser's on IR. GoodDay (talk) 13:41, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
- Salmela and Corrente are not? The site must have been updated recently because no players were listed as being on the IR. Tonight's gameday roster will clear things up. Thanks!! Raul17 (talk) 22:24, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
- No probs. GoodDay (talk) 22:25, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
- Just like I thought, Corrente was listed as a scratch!! Doesn't really matter because is retroactive anyway, but just messes up my stats, though. Thanks, again! Raul17 (talk) 02:10, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Mick
I seriously suggest you resist the temptation to comment while possible restrictions are sorted out, its unnecessary and provocative. --Snowded TALK 21:20, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- Alright then. GoodDay (talk) 21:23, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- I never get the fuss about Mick, from those who rush to support him at least. When there are other editors who just get on and get the job done quietly, I struggle to see the value in putting up with his theatrics. WikiuserNI (talk) 23:31, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- Colourful language tends to stir alot of folks. To my recollection, I've had little to no probs with Mick. This includes particpation at AfDs. GoodDay (talk) 23:33, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- Mick does indeed use a lot of durn cuss words, (this is an early attempt of mine to interact with him, d'oh!) but that's not the real issue. Mick just seems to have an unhealthy obsession with Wikipedia and policing it. Would it hurt either him or his edits here to tone down the paranoid walls of text? At the very least, I find it hard to take him in any way seriously. WikiuserNI (talk) 00:07, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not certain as to what his fate will be, but it's up to him. GoodDay (talk) 13:10, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

- I hate to see an established, content editor receive a ban. I really do. I am not condoning rudeness, but surely tireless contributions here have to count for something in his favour, no?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:00, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Well WP:CIVIL blocks, tend to be pushed more so then others. Mick's best hope is to curb the foul language. GoodDay (talk) 17:16, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Well, we have tireless contribution vs tiresome diatribes, which will come out on top? Beside, most contributions seem to be on talk pages where he rails against other users, it's hardly productive. He should also consider his blood pressure. WikiuserNI (talk) 20:47, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

- I know. GoodDay (talk) 22:06, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps having a good laugh at his expense might ultimately be the best way to deal with things. If we could convince Mick, that (and I include even myself here) since we all have better things to do away from Wikipedia, nobody is really going to get as uptight about articles as he does and he should perhaps give it a rest. WikiuserNI (talk) 00:34, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
- Nay. I like honesty in an editor, even when it's emotional honesty. Mick is a stickler for accuracy, which is fine with me. GoodDay (talk) 11:11, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
- I agree. Honesty should never be deprecated. As for accuracy, well, this is an encyclopedia, ergo......--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 12:28, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
- With that in mind I'm remembered of the spifflication he threatened over the demonym issue on the Northern Ireland article. If I recall correctly I was accussed by Mick of pushing some sort of fringe theories and eventually we just had to remove the information from the article to move on. There's a price to pay for angrily enforced pedantry like Mick's. WikiuserNI (talk) 13:25, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't bother
With Factocop he has been told about indenting before and he just cant figure out how to do it. I have stopped interacting on the talk page per WP:DENY as no matter what is said is not going to work, at present he has no consensus for the changes he made and continuing on the discussion is pointless IMO.

- Good question! As has been pointed out by Elen of the Roads, "Somehow he [factocop] then persuaded Shell Kinney that although he socked as Pilgrisquest, and apparently edits in the same IP range as the Maiden City, and he edits just like the Maiden City, he isn't the Maiden City."

- Just to go back to what GD was saying about Diana's parenting, he is quite correct. She used the boys wickedly as tools of revenge against Charles. For example, when Charles went to Hong Kong to deal with the hand over, he flew like crazy to get back to Scotland to spend his time with the boys.. When he got back, he found out that Diana had arbitrarily decided not to send them. When she and Charles divorced, she nailed him so hard that he actually had to borrow money from his mother to pay her off.. I'm *NOT* suggesting that Charles was a great husband (though, by all accounts, he's been a great Dad), however, Diana playing these games with the boys seeing their Father and attempting to bankrupt him during the divorce HARDLY plays in to her very carefully crafted image as "The People's Princess"..

Injured Reserve
I do believe that the official team sites are not reliable for listing players on IR. Saturday's Islanders game vs the Florida Panthers shows the Islanders with an active roster of twenty-two players: http://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20102011/RO020286.HTM
Furthermore, the monthly Islanders transactions and team depth chart from The Sporting News shows those players on IR:
http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/movements.cgi?nyi&x_date=201009 SEPT
http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/movements.cgi?nyi&x_date=201010 OCT
http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/movements.cgi?nyi&x_date=201011 NOV
http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/depthchart.cgi?nyi&x_type=2&x_cat=1 ACTIVE ROSTER
Since this also occurs with the Devils site, I am assuming that all team sites are unreliable for IR info. I could not find an Injured Reserve list from the NHL site. From my understanding, until the trade deadline, the NHL roster is a maximum twenty-three players; all others must be assigned to the minors/juniors or placed on IR list. Raul17 (talk) 06:09, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
- I've completely lost track on the Islanders. If Streit & Okposo are still on IR, then it's likely those other A's are temporary. I haven't the energy anymore, to argue it. GoodDay (talk) 11:46, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

I disagree with your definition of area in Westward Ho! GoodDay. That something is the biggest, smallest, widest, narrowest, tallest etc., etc, in England or in the UK is of legitimate interest. The reason that the term geographic has been applied to British Isles is that those who use the term rationalise their use of it by claiming it is not a political term, but geographic. The same criteria do not apply to England or the UK. Btw, why not 'the world'?) Daicaregos (talk) 15:59, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sticking with the geographic options. As I'm seeing it now, Western Europe is too broad & Great Britain could be mistaken for the UK. There is a possible 4th option, Britain and Ireland. GoodDay (talk) 16:03, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
- What about the reference that says it's the only place in the world to have an exclamation mark as part of its name? Using "world" is geographical surely? --HighKing (talk) 16:09, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Succession
You asked if the succession can be changed in one realm but not another. Vernon Bogdanor says on page 269 of The monarchy and the constitution (1995):
- "At the time of the abdication in 1936, each Dominion had to consent to the departure in the line of succession for it to be valid. Since, however, the Commonwealth prime ministers had agreed, in 1952, that there should be a locally variable title, consent was no longer needed to changes in the local element of the title. ... With regard to the succession, however, it is essential to retain a common rule so that the Commonwealth monarchies should not be a personal union over a fortuitous conglomeration of territories. ... Clearly, it would not be in accordance with the relationship between the monarchies of the Commonwealth that there should be any differences in the rules of succession. It remains, therefore, a convention that any alteration in these rules must be agreed between all the members of the Commonwealth which recognize the queen as their head of state. ... With a common rule of succession, then, in the words of Louis St Laurent, prime minister of Canada in 1953,
- Her Majesty is now Queen of Canada, but she is The Queen of Canada because she is Queen of the United Kingdom and because the people of Canada are happy to recognise as their Sovereign the person who is the Sovereign of the United Kingdom. It is not a separate office."
As you will undoubtedly be aware, Miesianiacal strongly disagrees with Bogdanor's interpretation, and vociferously opposes the implications of statements like "not be a personal union" and "not a separate office". DrKiernan (talk) 19:39, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- Mies is argument is that the 16 commonwealth monarchies/realms are completely seperate from each other, even though their respective monarchs happen to be the exact same person. GoodDay (talk) 19:43, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- St. Laurent said what he did in 1953, when the constitutions of the realms still technically resided with the United Kingdom parliament. Still, even earlier than that, the Canadian position in discussions about the Queen's title was "the Queen is Queen of Canada, regardless of her sovereignty over other Commonwealth countries" [emphasis mine].[2] The Commonwealth realms are sovereign states; DrKiernan adheres to the belief that they are not, being unable to legislate for themselves as they wish. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 02:06, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

- It would be interesting to see the Canadian Parliament attempt to pass a new Succession Act. For example: a full cognatic succession, begining with William's children. GoodDay (talk) 02:11, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- Honestly, I think Mies is correct. If Canada amended its Constitution to name Kari Matchett Queen of Canada, who would be the Queen of Canada? It is absurd, frankly, to suggest that it would be Elizabeth II. By the same token, if Canada amended its statutes or Constitution to provide for female-preference primogeniture, it is equally absurd to suggest that Charles, and not Anne, would be heir-apparent. I understand that there is a convention that Commonwealth countries will not unilaterally change succession rules, but a convention is merely that. That an action, being within the power of the actor, violates a convention does not make it void; rather, it mere pisses people off. -Rrius (talk) 02:22, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- Obviously, any country can withdraw any time they wish and 16 of them have done so during the Queen's lifetime. No-one disputes that, and it is frankly absurd and insulting of you to imply that I have. DrKiernan (talk) 08:24, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- Nobody said you said a realm can't become a republic. You said a realm absolutely cannot alter its line of succession without permission from the other realms. In other words: a realm is not free to legislate as it wishes. But, as the Ontario judge I quote below points out, the agreement to have the same person as sovereign and parallel lines of succession is more like a treaty than a law and Canada can alter its constitution as it wishes. I think it's safe to presume that if Canada can, the others can as well.
- Of course, if a realm did, without the consent of the other countries, change its succession laws and put, say, Edward on the throne there, there would likely be some negative consequences; nobody likes it when someone breaks an agreement. But, as Rrius says, the political consequences of such an act don't make it impossible. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 13:35, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- If one of the realms changes their line of succession such that the monarch in the 15 remaining realms is different to the monarch in the one that is changed, then the monarch of the Commonwealth realms is no longer monarch in the country that has opted out. The line of succession to the Commonwealth realms cannot change without the consent of all the Commonwealth realms, but each realm is free to choose whoever they wish as their monarch.
- There are no negative consequences at all as far as I can see. Some people may consider it a positive consequence to have a head of state that is specifically theirs rather than borrowed from another country. DrKiernan (talk) 14:57, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- I'd like a head of state, who's not the same person that's head of state of 15 other places (preferabley a president). GoodDay (talk) 15:11, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

- The line of succession can be changed without changing the incumbent sovereign; a realm could amend its laws to call for Edward to inherit the throne upon Elizabeth's demise. Even if the change in succession also meant a concurrent change in monarch - putting Edward on the throne and altering the succession from then onwards - the required constitutional amendments would only come into effect with the Royal Assent of the person who was sovereign before the changes were made official. Hence, in both cases, it would be a Commonwealth realm making changes to its laws of succession. That could be done either with or without parallel changes in the other realms, either with or without the consent of the other realms. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 16:47, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, so? That's just what I said. But once the realm opts out by adopting someone else as monarch, they are no longer a Commonwealth realm. Let me explain by way of example: Canada passes a law excluding Charles from the line of succession. The law only applies in Canada since they can only legislate for Canada alone not the other Commonwealth realms. The Queen dies. William becomes King of Canada. Charles becomes King of the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, etc. It is Charles who is King of the Commonwealth realms, not William. Canada is no longer a Commonwealth realm; it is a monarchy within the Commonwealth, in the manner of Tonga, Swaziland or Lesotho. It is not possible to change the line of succession to the Commonwealth realms in one realm alone: all must agree. DrKiernan (talk) 16:53, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- GoodDay's original question asked if some realms could change their monarch and/or line of succession without the others agreeing to also do so, not if any Commonwealth realms would stay Commonwealth realms after changing the monarch and/or line of succession to be different to the other realms. To the former, you first answered "no". --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 17:01, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

That could be done either with or without parallel changes in the other realms, either with or without the consent of the other realms. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 16:47, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- I certainly don't think British troops would invade Canada. Though, the other 15 realms 'might' boot Canada out of the Commonwealth of Nations. GoodDay (talk) 02:25, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

- I'm in agreement with you & Mies, there's 16 seperate monarchies/thrones. Getting this put into the intro at Wedding of Prince William of Wales, and Kate Middleton, is gonna be tough, though. GoodDay (talk) 02:42, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

A more recent statement came from the Ontario Superior Court: "Canada as a sovereign nation is free to withdraw from the arrangement and no longer be united through common allegiance to the Crown."[3] Of course, the judge goes on to say that any changes in this regard cannot be made so long as the Statute of Westminster and (according to him) the preamble to the Constitution Act 1867 are as they presently are. But, he does outline that S.41 of the Constitution Act 1982 gives the mechanism whereby such alterations can be made to the constitution.
Per Rrius' comment: the same judge likened the agreement to have a common monarch and line of succession to "a treaty among the Commonwealth countries." Parties to a treaty can't be forced into it, and if one opts out, the result is generally little more than the other party gets pissed. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 03:01, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- In otherwords, Canada can leave the Commonwealth of Nations (or get kicked out), but -regrettably- continue as a monarchy. GoodDay (talk) 03:07, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

- There's still the major stumbling block. How to get "thrones of the 16 Commonwealth realms" mentioned in the intro at the aforementioned article. PS: We should note, there's no mention of the line of succession in the other related Wedding articles (George VI-Elizabeth, Charles-Diana/Camilla). GoodDay (talk) 03:20, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Collective madness
Last night I saw a programme about this woman: Natuzza Evolo. I wonder how much the Church paid those people to claim they were cured by her? I'm also curious as to how much the Vatican doles out to scientists to back such idiocy as the Virgin's tears and manifestations of the stigmata.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:32, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

London
I'm trying to find a Wikipedia guideline on this, but it seems one is strangely lacking. Regardless, as I noted in my last edit summary at Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, the standard phrasing is "London, England," and "London, Ontario," not "London, United Kingdom," and "London, Canada." --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 18:04, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- That's an inaccurate comparison, as London in Ontario isn't also the capital of Canada. London in England, is the capital of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (in that time frame). GoodDay (talk) 18:07, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
