There is mention of there being "possibly" 2000 US Marines at the event. I was there. There weren't. I've no doubt that there were Marines there but not 2000.
Why is Bush's bike accident considered worthy of inclusion into an encyclopedia entry?
I added a reference (link) for the paragraph which starts with the "700 people arrested" claim. NB: I discovered the wikipedia text is very close to linked article's text. I don't
know if this is a cause for concern.

Blair just gave a speech announcing they'd reach a deal on helping Africa. Can someone add the jist of it into the article? He basically said that he'd had to compromise some stuff but got the bulk of what's needed. America's supposedly "shown interest" in combating global warming by switching to modern technologies at some point in the future or something, so in other words absolutely nothing was achieved on the global warming front. -- 80.4.224.5 8 July 2005 11:45 (UTC)
Should this be called the 31st G8 summit? The group certainly haven't met as the 'G8' 31 times, so the name is slightly misleading.
is there somehting missing? was the african debt forgiven or not?
What is "democracy" in Africa? We're going to give them ballot cards instead of food? Can they make the ballot cards edible? -- brian0918 ™ 04:03, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
The first paragraph says " The summit was overshadowed, however, by bomb attacks in London on the first day of the conference." But the London bombings were on July 7, the SECOND day. Doidimais Brasil 03:10, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
I am not at all convinced this is Edinburgh. The police are not wearing Lothian and Borders uniform, the police van on the right say the name of the force at the top and does not look like L+B, and the man on the front right is holding a mic of TFM...

Image:20050708-173.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The image Image:World Bank Logo.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

There is a slow-motion edit war about one aspect of 31st G8 summit.
Collapsed argument and details
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Beginning with the 3rd G7 summit in London in 1977, the President of the European Commission or his successor President of the European Union has been a formal participant in successive annual events -- see "EU and the G8". In each article about G7/G8 summits, Lucie-Marie has deleted text about EU participation. These serial reverts ignored hyperlinks in the supporting inline citations which were also deleted. Despite attempts to engage discussion here, no consensus has been achieved. Her opinions here have merit, but they remain only opinions. No cited source supports these reverts. Our core policies require something different. WP:V seems relevant because "the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth — whether readers can check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true."
A slow-motion edit war is worrisome; but discussion can be constructive -- see Muskoka 2010: G8 members The edit history of 36th G8 summit records an unhelpful pattern:
The same pattern is seen at 37th G8 summit:
