I removed:

The Department had 423 uniformed and 48 civilian members in 2003, including 90 Royal Protection Officers, as well as 508 in the Diplomatic Protection Group, and additional officers in the Westminster Division.

I think this should be -

The Department had 423 uniformed and 48 civilian members in 2003, including 90 Royal Protection Officers. There are also 508 in the separate Diplomatic Protection Group, and additional officers in the Westminster Division.Ncox (talk) 23:44, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it should be merged, as it is a sufficiently important unit in its own right (i.e. attracts quite a lot of publicity). Ncox (talk) 23:44, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date linking and Manual Of Style

I changed the date linking in the article because The Manual of Style here says "the use of full date formatting is now deprecated." Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 04:16, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, that is taken from the subpage which is explicitly not WP policy. Second, some history.. one user went on a crusade across a hundred or so individual pages, forcing a backdoor change. So no. Prince of Canada t | c 04:22, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is taken directly from the MoS (not a subpage of anything) and it is explicitly wiki policy. Have a look at the Sarah Palin article (or the John McCain article). As you are so certain in your opinion, why don't you try wikilinking dates in the Palin article? I am again date formatting this article in line with the wiki MoS which I quoted above.

Actually no. The 'convention' was put through on the subpage, after brute-force backdoor changes made by a certain user who shall remain nameless. But whatever. As usual on WP, he who yells loudest gets whatever he wants. Prince of Canada t | c 00:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
