Article Title[edit]

If this article is kept (which I'm not so sure it should, but that's not the issue), should this article be called something else? There are virtually no sources calling it Papineau handshake. As much as I really hate the term, we normally go by what everyone else uses, and it seems everyone else has decided to call this Elbowgate. I suggest this article be moved there if it is kept.

I've made the move because I can't find any RS calling it the Papineau handshake. SarahSV ^(talk) 00:46, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Image of the incident[edit]

I think the image of the incident could be increased in size somewhat. One can barely see what is happening. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 02:42, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's a fair use image it has be reduced in size. It's probably possible to increase it a bit more, I'm not sure what the max acceptable size is though. Discant X 02:52, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I just realized you may be talking about the thumbnail size, not the image size. I increased it to the max suggested for a lead, as per Wikipedia:Picture tutorial#Thumbnail sizes. Discant X 02:57, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the thumbnail size was what I meant. Thanks for increasing it. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 03:05, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the image. It's better than just the image of Trudeau. SarahSV ^(talk) 04:28, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Over-dramatization[edit]

Over-dramatization?--I'm on day 4 (talk) 03:26, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree I think this needs to be rewritten. there is video showing the incident and it wasn't this exciting. I personally believe parliamentarians used this as an opportunity to score political points and the whole incident was exaggerated in the media. As such media sources are questionable at best. 198.48.129.235 (talk) 06:56, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pro-LPC non-NPOV bias is off the fucking charts.[edit]
