Resignation / Donations[edit]

Removing material which raises BLP issues i.e. is of questionable POV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulineward (talk • contribs) 07:05, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aye...so is having a party apparatchik monitoring and editing what is meant to be an impartial biographical entry. Steelwool (talk) 20:09, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Degrees[edit]

What are the classes of her degrees? And in what subject is her Glasgow degree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.121.138 (talk) 07:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Her undergraduate degree was in History: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/scotland/article3736592.ece

"Appointment Outstanding"[edit]

I added "Appointment Outstanding" to the "Successor" field on the table below, I just want it to be clear that this is a status of the position and in no way a judgement on her performance as Leader of the Labour party!! I am sane!! 86.111.162.127 (talk) 11:15, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Leader of the Scottish Labour Party" box[edit]

This is incorrect. Gordon Brown is the leader of the Scottish Labour Party. Wendy Alexander was (until this morning) the leader of the Labour group of MSPs in the Scottish Parliament. There is a subtle difference between the two. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 13:50, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
