Hi, I was just wondering why you chose to move John Latham (Australian jurist) to John Latham (jurist). The reason I ask is that this has created some double redirects from John Latham (Australia) (the original location, and the one I prefer). -- bainer 04:46, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
I see this was discussed some time ago. I can't see why it is "(Australian jurist)". There is no other jurist with an article on Wikipedia named John Latham. It makes no sense to have it as "(Australian jurist)". I know precedent does not count for all that much on Wikipedia but the article for another High Court Justice, Alan Taylor, is at Alan Taylor (jurist). Shadow007 14:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
What this article fails to mention that if Latham had not stood aside for Lyons he would have become Prime Minister. He sold out on himself. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Shadow Treasurer ( talk • contribs) 02:53, 14 June 2005.
The statement is self-evident meaning that of all the Opposition Leaders who did not become Prime Minister and aside from Joseph Cook who was Opposition Leader in 1908-09, a Minister in 1909-10 before becoming Prime Minister in 1913, he, Bill Hayden (I confess I have completely forgotten about him when I made that statement) and Alexander Downer became Ministers after their tenure as Opposition Leaders. I mean study the history of what I am saying before making your snap edits. In case it still isn't clear let's look at the former Opposition Leaders who did not become Prime Minister who wasn't a Minister afterwards. Mark Latham 2003-05. Resigned from Parliament in January 2005 without having been a Minister. Simon Crean 2001-03. Time will tell whether he would be a Minister again. John Hewson 1990-94. Resigned from Parliament in 1995 without having been a Minister. Andrew Peacock 1983-85, 1989-90. Would probably have become Foreign Minister in a Hewson Government but when that didn't happen resigned from Parliament in 1994.
Of course the list will go on with Snedden, Calwell, Evatt, Charlton and Tudor. -- The Shadow Treasurer 29 June 2005 00:23 (UTC)

There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.
The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.
Please help us determine consensus on this issue. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 16:38, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Any objection to moving this to John Greig Latham? He was pretty notable as a politician as well. Ivar the Boneful ( talk) 14:50, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
