Why does Michael Russell automatically go this fellow's article? Is he more important than the others? That's not really fair. I think typing Michael Russell should go straight to the disambiguation page. ~ GoldenGoose100 ( talk) 08:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved back to the original title - Michael Russell (poliician). Kotniski ( talk) 09:34, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Michael William Russell → Mike Russell (politician) — Per standard Wikipedia policy regarding naming of biographical articles, eg. see Bill Clinton and Bill Aitken (politician). Mais oui! ( talk) 10:03, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia's policy on article titles.also I believe self identification should be taken into account http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=146802558681502 was run by him and his acccount and twitter etc all self identify as michael not mike. It is generally tabloids refering to him as mike not really what we should follow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.247.194 ( talk) 18:03, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Does he speak Gaelic fluently? If so, does he use it publicly? The article notes that he has been Minister for Gaelic, so his use of the language would be important and relevant. Some information on activities here would be very welcome. -- Doric Loon ( talk) 09:28, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
The figure was born in England but is long term resident and an active politician in Scotland. Disagreement as to whether the subject should be placed in categories such as English writers in addition to the existing Scottish categories. Some additional opinions would be good. 13:40, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Where people are born in one country and long term resident in another often both are reflected in categories? Anglo-Scots and people from Bromley are already reflected in the categories but additional categories reflecting the birth country were removed. Any additional comments would be welcome.

Critics term Russell "The Bromley Brayer" in references to English birth and his frequent vocal opinions.<ref>{{cite web|author=Alan Cochrane |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/9174961/The-Bromley-Brayer-is-keeping-strangely-quiet.html |title=The Bromley Brayer is keeping strangely quiet |publisher=Telegraph |date=2012-03-29 |accessdate=2012-04-03}}</ref>
No objection if that needs to stay out due to blp concerns but the English birth thing is something various people bring up when critical of Russell so some mention seems relevant(the birth place thing is present in Obama's article isnt it?). A Galloway article is along the same lines."The long-running radio equivalent of Question Time was in The Highlands so of course a collection of Sporrans had to be assembled.
(Russell is an Englishman and all the evidence is that Highlanders groan just as loudly when Newsnight morphs into its White Heather Club alter-ego Newsnicht as any other thinking people in Scotland)."
