Where and how died?
editQuote: ... but on 10 January he died suddenly at the Commonwealth's inaugural ceremonies in Sydney.
Comment: Those celebrations were on 1 January, were they not? He died 9 days later. -- JackofOz (talk) 07:08, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- I've fixed it now. The story of what happened is in his ADB article. -- JackofOz (talk) 08:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

James Dickson (politician) → James Robert Dickson – There are several politicians listed at the dab James Dickson. This article should be moved to James Robert Dickson (deleting the existing redirect there) and (politician) should be changed to redirect to James Dickson. I will take care of the incoming links.

Prime Minister of Queensland
editIt makes sense for consistency and continuity to use the term "Premier" for the colony's political head before Federation, but today's anonymous editor was perfectly right to style Dickson as "Prime Minister of Queensland". William Kidston even so described himself in 1908. Doug butler (talk) 05:49, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- It's true that the term Prime Minister does show up in the newspapers from time to time, but not as frequently as Premier and in official documents the term seems to be consistently Premier. Kerry (talk) 06:09, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
