[edit] Pinter

I've removed Harold Pinter from the list of exiles. Pinter has referred to his being kicked out of the US Embassy in Turkey as a "voluntary exile," but it only applied to the embassy, not Turkey or any other country, so it's not really exile as it's described on this page. It was a typically Pinteresque joke. Chick Bowen 22:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stalin

On the Stalin page it is stated that he was in exile between 1902-1917 for his revolutionary activities. I'm hesitating to add him to the exile-list because the information there is contradicting with other information given. Skogstokerier 22:27, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Malcolm Watson

The 'History' section seems to deviate strongly from an outline of the history of the concept/practice of exile/exiling, to a detailed description of the events surrounding one man whose putative exile isn't even intended as such. And even if it were, it is still more of an anecdote than anything specifically relevant to the topic of exile. --24.141.72.177 00:32, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fictional People

I'd like to remove the section for "Fictional people who have been in exile" because it does not seem to further the reader's understanding of exile. Perhaps a couple well known examples of fictional people in exile could be added to one of the other sections. Gobonobo T C 20:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to edit your message Gobonobo but I'm a newbie. Could you please how to add a message to a talk page because I don't know my way round this place. Agent008 T C 10:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Sure thing. If you click on the history tab at the top of any page, you will see a history of the edits that have been made. Next to people's names, there should be links for 'Talk' and 'contribs'. Just click on 'Talk' and you will be taken straight to their talk page. If you wish to resurrect the list of fictional people in exile, you will find a rather lengthy list on an older version of exile on this page[1]. I would suggest spinning it off into a separate article (see Wikipedia:Embedded_list). Gobonobo T C 20:31, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
