[edit] Chargé d'Affaires

A Chargé d'Affairs should be differentiated from a Chargé d'Affaires, ad interim. 'Ad interim' would of course denote in the absence of a regular ambassador or other permanent chief of mission.

[edit] Proconsul

What about proconsul? I heard this was a rank somewhere. --Sobolewski 21:00, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

In the Roman Empire; it was administrative, not diplomatic. See the article. J S Ayer 01:43, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Meaning of "Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary"?

How did it appear? Is it used now? What does it mean? Can an ambassador be either extraordinary or plenipotentiary only? Samnikal 03:24, 21 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Ordering of Sections

Is there any reason that the modern explanation of rank should not be at the top, with the historical ones relegated below? I know many references are to the historical versions, but the article should be about the most current explanation of the term. Sarcasmboy 12:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
