Governor General of Canada edit

Re-nomination. See here for the previous nomination. No one either supported or objected to it; there was just one comment about the references, which I addressed by adding two more references. --Emsworth 19:52, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Object, a decent article but not comprehensive. It covers the basic facts, but skips most of the detail. For instance there is no mention of the dispute between Lord Minto and Laurier over control of the armed forces, and virtually no history after 1974. The ==political role== section makes no mention of the current main political role of the GG as Canada's highest patronage appointment. Something on the selection process within the PMO is needed. The GGs role as a proponent of Canadian culture also needs more attention. The Governor General's Awards are given brief mention, but nothing about how they came about, the other wide range of awards go unmentioned. In a similar vein this page also needs to mention both the Stanley and Grey Cups, perhaps the most important link between the office of the GG and majority of Canadians. The controversy section also needs to be reworked. Citizens for a Canadian Republic are a pretty minor fringe group, far more important in recent years have been debates over costs. - SimonP 02:19, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
Neutral. It really looks quite good at a glance, but is it suitable as brilliant prose? — Stevey7788 (talk) 17:16, 18 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawn. -- Emsworth 17:39, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
