Whats up with the person denying that the books of the Government of Saskatchewan were balanced, in part, through privatization of assets such as ownership positions in Cameco, SaskOil (Wascana Energy), and others?

I guess I really should add expropriation as well. Remember what happened to the shareholders of the Federated Co-Op upgrader? ---

Postnominal DU?

Does anyone know what the Postnominal DU means? I was going to give it a more specific link (it currently goes to a disambiguation page) but I don't know where to send it.--RAult (talk) 06:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would guess that it is for Doctor of the University, a kind of honourary degree. --JGGardiner (talk) 08:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that's it. A quick google search show's that he's got one of those from Ottawa U.[1] --JGGardiner (talk) 08:26, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The style manual states we shouldn't list degrees as post nomial letters Reggie Perrin (talk) 11:38, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's true. I guess I was answering the question without thinking about the article. Though we can include in other parts of the article but I personally don't like that. --JGGardiner (talk) 18:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Beginning of Term

I'm pretty sure the date of Oct 21 is an error as that was election day. The Saskatchewan archive's page on the Saskatchewan Ministries gives the date as November 1 which is presumably the correct one. So I took the liberty to correct this error. Shipguy (talk) 03:10, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Roy Romanow. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20070927014337/http://www.fcpp.org/main/publication_detail.php?PubID=585 to http://www.fcpp.org/main/publication_detail.php?PubID=585

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

"House of Romanov" category

Any sources justifying this article's inclusion in the category? "Romanov" isn't exactly a rare surname and there are plenty of Romanovs who have no relation to the Russian imperial dynasty. This relation is especially unlikely in Roy Romanow's case, considering that his first language was Ukrainian and that his parents immigrated from a part of Ukraine which was never even part of the Russian Empire.

Removing the article from the category for now. VonPeterhof (talk) 14:22, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
