Religious?[edit]

Is Mr. Hamm religious? HD 123321 02:50, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually not sure if Dr. Hamm is religious...I've never heard him publicize his religion or anything.Habsfannova 03:36, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to Who's Who, Canadian Edition, he is a practising Anglican.Homagetocatalonia 20:26, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please, wait until February 24th, 2006[edit]

As I've stated in the Paul Martin & Stephen Harper articles (between Jan.23-Feb.6), please wait until the scheduled date for transfer of office is upon us. Premier Hamm could suddenley die, resign before Feb. 24th also Premier-designate MacDonald could likewise die (though unlikely) before February 24th, 2006. Be patient & let Hamm complete his time in office and wait unitl MacDonald assumes office GoodDay 15:39, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(current) Premiers of Canada box[edit]

In all the other current Canadian Premiers article, their Premiers of Canada box is in error. John Hamm is still NS Preimer until February 24th, 2006. Listing Rodney MacDonald as premier is wrong as he hasn't taken office yet. GoodDay 16:20, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Johnhamm.jpg[edit]

Image:Johnhamm.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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:38, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment[edit]

I have assessed this as a Start Class, as it contains more detail than would be expected of a Stub (barely), but no organization or proper referencing. I have assessed this as low importance, as I do not feel that many people outside of Canada would be familiar with the subject of the article. Cheers, CP 16:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
