A previous version of this page referred to Mr Argall as "His Excellency". Dennis Argall edited the page to remove "His Excellency" and added the following:

(As the involuntary subject of this entry, Dennis Argall wishes to state that the content of the right column is inappropriate insofar as there is no Australian practice, contrary to US practice, of conferring the title of ambassador upon a person for life AND that the title excellency is only appropriate in the circumstance and for the duration of appointment as ambassador by letters of credence from one head of state to another. )

It seems appropriate for that note to be visible on the Talk page for this entry. NickArgall (talk) 04:35, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removing copy that shouldn't be part of an article

Actually having read the comment from Dennis Argall I removed the title "His Excellency" and the copy from the bio that said it wasn't correct form. I have also left a comment on his talk page apologising for creating his bio and asking him to contact me so I can make other corrections if necessary and suggesting that references need to be found for the details that he has added. If the subject is unhappy at being on Wikipedia I hope that he will say so and maybe the article can be removed altogether but at the moment the subject seems happy enough to edit it himself albeit making it known that he didn't cerate it in the first place. If anyone else feels that a record of an Australian Ambassador to China shouldn't be recorded here I hope that they will exercise their right to call for its deletion. There is no malice in my decision to create the article or in my editing of it and I hope that my involvement will be seen as being in good faith.
