Bradley's Dual Citizenship

I don't check this site this often, but I was concerned to see that mention of Brad's citizenship status was unceremoniously deleted on 15 May without discussion or seemingly anyone noticing. I would remind you all that it was confirmed in the House of Commons on the evening of 4th April that Bradley is indeed a British citizen under the terms of the 1981 UK Nationality Act and the UK Government has indeed intervened with the State Department on this basis on two separate occasions.

Since - full disclosure - I'm running the UK campaign, it would be ideal if someone who isn't me could keep an eye on this; but I will take on that job if noone else does.

Hacker versus Cracker

This article uses the term computer hacker where "cracker" would be more appropriate. Does the wikipedia have a style manual on the use of the term "computer hacker" vs. computer cracker? I looked around and found nothing. -Ich (talk) 01:43, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

The sources have been using the term "hacker," so we've done the same. SlimVirgin 02:07, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

"Cracker" is general parlance does not refer to cracking code but rather is a disparaging term for a rural caucasian. Since Manning was originally born in Oklahoma that could cause confusion.Walterego (talk) 20:11, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

David House

Would it e worth starting a page for David House, or including more information about him and his increasing role here? Totorotroll (talk) 21:12, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Wales

Can we have a link for Wales? Just "Wales" without a link is confusing to non-Americans like me who don't know there's a Wales outside of Wales, United Kingdom nor where it is in the States. Manytexts (talk) 11:18, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

The Wales referenced is indeed in the UK.♥GlamRock♥ 11:37, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
