Fair use rationale for Image:Ralphgonsalves.jpg
Why does this article entirely suppress the period of Gonsalves life-- between c. 1974 and 1983 -- when he was a Lecturer in Politics at the University of the West Indies in Barbados. During that period he was heavily involved in the politics of the Caribbean left, and wrote a regular newspaper column, and entered into a conflict with Tom Adams Prime Minister of Barbados which ended in his having to seek another place to live and work, thus his move back to St Vincent. Reading the article in its current form one would think he followed a seamless move from student days to politics in St Vincent. Is this the ignorance of its author(s) or a massaging of the history of this individual? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.222.178.50 (talk) 07:59, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
- I agree. If you can find some reliable sources about his period as an academic and columnist, then they should absolutely be added. It's probably not helpful to call editors ignorant or biased though. This is a BLP, the information needs to be verifiable. iamlilyy 04:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Longest reigning prime minister?
Now that Hun Sen (who ruled between 1985 and 2023) stepped down as Cambodia's prime minister, does that make Gonsalves currently the longest-serving head of government in the world? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sri Imperator Maharaja (talk • contribs) 14:50, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
