Who is the oldest PM? Isn't it him?
Joe Clark?
How come there's no infobox image? Why not just move up one of the images from farther down the page? 23skidoo 06:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
"He was born in Richmond, Surrey, England to Leonard Turner and Phyllis Gregory, and emigrated to Canada as a baby in 1932."
Sounds a bit weird, that phrase does. Shouldn't it say his family emigrated? Or he, as a baby, did it alone? DDD DDD 04:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
I have removed all references to "immigrating" and "emigrating." Turner is NOT an immigrant and he IS Canadian-born. Even though he was born overseas, because he was born to a Canadian parent (his mother), he is a naturally-born Canadian, as he acquired his Canadian citizenship at birth.

Why is there no images of John Turner? He is a former prime minister of a country, I think he would be important enough to have a picture of him in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Preparationh ( talk • contribs) 18:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Finally! Thanks Abebenjoe I tried to put in a picture for this guy, but it was copyrighted, now what's left is Kim Campbell.
Why are we using such an awful picture of Turner as an old man? The other Canadian prime ministers all seem to have photos of them when they were in office. The Parliament of Canada website has a portrait photo of Turner ( http://www2.parl.gc.ca/Parlinfo/Files/Parliamentarian.aspx?Item=2d6cfb9d-1d91-419c-835b-2bc796126fab&Section=Publications), surely we can use this government sourced photo? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jabalong ( talk • contribs) 03:54, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
I agree Jabalong, the photo of Turner is terrible. He looks terribly old in it, unrecognizable from his time in public life. There's gotta be a better pictures around somewhere to use for him. Dcraig9 ( talk) 13:06, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Here's another good one... from his time in politics during the late 1980s: http://img265.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=158640148_JohnNTurner1988_122_54lo.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.137.231.57 ( talk) 18:28, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

I find this a rather confusing section of the MOS, since it (like much of the MOS, IMO) runs counter to colloquial usage. Does it mean that the first sentence of the lede should read:
or

The initial report states that he Passed away "Friday Evening", Meaning the Date of his Death is Friday, September 18th, 2020. [1] WanukeX ( talk) 18:50, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Is it necessary? Seems excessive to me, but I defer to others. AleatoryPonderings ( talk) 03:47, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

MOS is followed throughout the article. Good written English, easily comprehended.
The archive of Reference 7 advises This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine.
This is a very old article (started life in 2002). There needs to be a consistent application of the archived URL either before or after the original link; this application should be consistent throughout this article; a number of reversals were encountered.
Given this is a politician, the article is relatively broad and balanced with respect to his career, departure from politics and return as PM who loses an election. Very balanced, neutral presentation.
The challenge of covering a politician, Prime Minister and Leader of Opposition is well managed.
