"... must be removed immediately" edit
In bold letters in the article, "must be removed immediately"!!!
Since 2008!!! :) --Wiskeps (talk) 07:46, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- Is there any contentious material then? It's a standard hatnote calling for more sources - when the call is on a BLP article it will add the requirement for immediate removal of anything contentious. Fwiw I don't see anything I regard as falling into that category - do you? If you do, remove stuff. If you don't then perhaps you'd like to see if you can find some sources on Prior to add - he's probably in Who's Who I imagine. Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:12, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Picture? edit
Anyone has a free picture of him? --Lgriot (talk) 12:16, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Article title edit
I strongly recommend the retitling of this article as James Prior, per WP:COMMONNAME. As someone who lived through Prior's time in the Thatcher cabinets, I can assure all editors that the media referred to him as "James" and not "Jim". The usage is similar to that of James Callaghan, where only in personal informal contexts, such as Richard Crossman's diary, was that man referred to as "Jim".

- Tend to agree. Similar situation with Ted Heath? Martinevans123 (talk) 10:00, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- I would say it's similar, yes. The main contrast that comes to my mind is with Tom King, whom I never heard or saw referred to as "Thomas". (There is an interesting note on the relative public acceptability of full forms against short forms – which would I think merit a full-scale discussion in a book on first names, if it hasn't already – in First Names First by Leslie Dunkling.) I've altered the article lead on this matter - perhaps "sometimes" isn't the right word either, but I think it's more accurate than "usually". Harfarhs (talk) 13:26, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
