Talk: Andrew Bonar Law

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Was "Bonar" his first name? I always thought it was part of his surname. Deb 20:15 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC)

It's one of those weird British things. Like Lloyd George, but less so. His surname was "Law". His Christian name was "Andrew". He was called "Bonar Law". I've never been completely clear on exactly how it works, but I think the Bonar is more like a first name than a surname. john 23:27 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC)

That being so, I'm not convinced that it was a good idea to move the article from "Andrew Bonar Law" to "Bonar Law". There are some links that now need to be tidied up. Deb 17:50 Apr 30, 2003 (UTC)

Hmm... well, there's a redirect from "Andrew Bonar Law". If you want to switch it back, that's fine, though. john 18:26 Apr 30, 2003 (UTC)

Okay, I moved it back on the basis that there were already lots of links to "Andrew Bonar Law". Deb 19:29 Apr 30, 2003 (UTC)

Law and Baldwin

Why was the reference to Bonar Law's antipathy towards Balwdin removed?

No idea. I'll put it back in, in a more NPOV type way, perhaps. john 04:10, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)
