Assessment[edit]

I have assessed this as B class, although it requires more referencing and inline citations, and of low importance, as I do not feel that many people outside of Canada would be familiar with the subject of this article. Cheers, CP 03:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page move / Name change[edit]

I've reviewed sources and Scott was normally referred to as "Walter Scott". This is the usage in Waiser's New Histiry of Saskatchewan, barnhardt's Biography of Scott ( although he does include "T." in the title), and the Saskatchewan Archives records of the Scott government, and the summaries of his individual constituency elections. It is also the name used for the provincial government office building, the "Walter Scott Building", and the Scott statue on the grounds of the Legislature. "Walter Scott (Canadian politician)" therefore more consistent with MOS:NAMES Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 04:10, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
