John Lynch is offically refered to as "His Excellency". All incumbent New England Governors are given this title. It doesn't matter if you think he is excellent or not (personally I don't). Keep this page consistant with others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.186.140 ( talk) 21:41, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry to barge in here, folks, but while I totally agree that "His excellency" is legally part of his formal title (and that it is almost completely unqiue to New Hampshire,) it is not Wikipedia practice to add an honorific to ANYONE'S encyclopedia entry. Further, please peruse this List of current United States Governors. Not one, not even the New England governors, seem to have a title before their name, except Gov. Lynch. And the argument that "it's in the constitution, therefore it should be on Wikipedia" doesn't wash. It's also in the Massachusetts Constitution ("Article I. There shall be a supreme executive magistrate, who shall be styled, The Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and whose title shall be -- His Excellency.") [3] but I don't think Mitt Romney's entry needs to be changed, either. It also never appeared on the Craig Benson article (I checked to make sure if this was consistent with previous practice.) In short, it should be deleted, without any disrespect intended to the current governor, while a line or two should be added to this article noting this interesting information about his official title. - Nhprman List 00:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I know John Lynch is a superhero to some, but how - in this recent edit - did he manage to get an award in APRIL, 2006 for his super work during the MAY, 2006 floods, which began on May 11, 2006? (wikitext cited to show dates):
Yeah that was my bad... obviously wasn't thinking clearly when I wrote that. Thanks for noticing my error though. - Prezboy1 12:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I have added results of the election 2006. If anyone can find a source backing up the "record margin" it would be appreciated. I put it here based on reports by WMUR — Preceding unsigned comment added by Log'a'log ( talk • contribs) 04:11, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
I was baffled by the plus-or-minus percentage heading in the just-added infoboxes about election results; I finally figured that it's a completely meaningless figure comparing the percentage point results of a candidate to their percentage point result of the previous election (assuming they ran then). I would strongly recommend that it be removed, because it says nothing (what does his result against Coburn, a newcomer, have to do with the result against Benson, an incumbent?) and is extremely confusing - most people will see it as the percentage difference between the two candidates in that race. Toss it, I say. - DavidWBrooks 02:01, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Let me say that I think it's b.s., and I don't appreciate (or accept as legitimate) the fact that the public, official photograph of Gov. Lynch, along with simliar photos of past governors, has been removed by the little dicatators who are running Wikipedia and turning it into a bland, colorless, photoless place. They only seem to like photos if "fan" photos are used on every page, which makes it look like a cheap fan site. For the record: Public, government-taken photos are IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. - Nhprman 20:15, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I think it's better for there to be no photo rather than the current one which looks like a mug shot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.253.53.74 ( talk) 00:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Did he go to Georgetown or George Washington University??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.164.100.93 ( talk) 15:26, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED to John Lynch (New Hampshire), per discussion below. - GTBacchus( talk) 02:01, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Move back to John Lynch. Middle name is not used, and primary topic, getting 2 to 3 times as many page views as any other John Lynch at John Lynch (disambiguation). 199.125.109.75 ( talk) 21:09, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
According to reference [1] in the article, Lynch is the 80th governor of N.H., not 90th. I even contacted the governor's office and they said he was the 80th. I don't know how this reconciles with List of Governors of New Hampshire. Someone is not counting right. mg ( talk) 10:20, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
