Claims about the US Constitution
I've noticed that many in the United States claim that its constitution is the oldest. The republic of San Marino has the oldest written constitition, written in 1600. Someone said that the San Marino does not count, because it was not recognised as a state until 1812, however this is not true and the independence of San Marino dates back to at least the 1200's.

Canal pics
I've expanded Canal a little, so there;s room for more pics if you like. As to which to replace, if this is still necess, how about either Venice, or Amsterdam, as these show the same type of canal? But they're rather beautiful pics, so perhaps the Canal du Midi. I'd be loathe to lose the Calder and Hebble Nav unless it were replaced with something similar, showing the industrial buildings and chimneystack contemporary with the canal. Did you have something in mind? JackyR 20:43, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Cleaning up
Saw you cleanup blocked eds messes - and i noticed some of them arent assessesd for oz project yet - cheers
Cripes you are being generous - most simply revert without as much as a time of day to explain why - well done - hope my low importance asesses are not offensive to you or your hard work - cheers
I don't particularly care who did what, which is why I posted the exact same message on both your pages. I strongly suggest that you both take a step back from the page for 24 hours, and calm down. You have both hit 3RR.
- "Involved? Not involved?" <-- I am not sure what this means. You're both stepping over the line, I don't care who did what, you both just need to calm down. That is the extent of my involvement. t | c 18:26, 25 August 2008 (UTC)]

OR at Australian republicanism
I'm not really sure how much space should be accorded within the article — it would at least be helpful to the reader to have a brief section covering legal matters that relate to the monarchy in Australia, as laws codifying the monarchy are highly relevant to the potential for establishment of republicanism. Flipping over to the article, I see that such a section has now been set up. As to the second part of what you asked, it would definitely be a good idea to lend your apparent expertise in the subject to building this section. There's certainly much to be said beyond just a discussion of succession law — succession law, after all, is relevant but somewhat tangential.
As for your disagreement with Bambino about the material, I remain unsure of exactly which points you disagree with. For a start, do you agree or disagree with this contention:
- The succession law of the United Kingdom's cannot be changed without the consent of the Australian parliament.
I have no strong opinions on the subject, myself. It just struck me that the SoW does seem to support that much, at least. Mr. IP «Defender of Open Editing» 18:23, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, I'm a Yank and supporter of small-r republicanism myself; I have no bias toward his viewpoint. It's just that right now he's got his statement backed by a source which essentially contains the same information as the statement, which rules it out as original research. You may want to pursue a claim that succession law is simply irrelevant, but it's just hard to make it out as OR. How do you feel it should be contextualized? What if it were included with information on exactly where it came from, as in the form, "According to the preamble to the [and so on]..."?

Hi
I owe you an apology for being incredibly rude in the first Personal Union dispute. Careful reflection showed me that I was wrong in my arguments, and incredibly wrong in my attitude towards you. I'm sorry.

Hiya... I would be most grateful if you could check out all the other references being used for 'personal union' at both Monarchy of Canada and Commonwealth realm.
