== (London) - No rule about the Royal family ? ==
==Picture Locations==
Seems that at anything above ~1024 in resolution, the amount of pictures interferes with the position of the edit links. I'm not experienced enough to fix this. [[User:Rebuttal|Rebuttal]] ([[User talk:Rebuttal|talk]]) 06:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)


The article doesn't mention anything about, what I was under the impression of, - that criticism about the Royal Family (incl. its members) was strictly prohibited. People I asked (as late as mid-March 2017) told me the same, any subject allowed but the Royalties. Am I, and those I asked, wrong ?

:I think [[Speaker's Corner]] should redirect to [[Speakers' Corner]] rather than vice versa. Am I wrong? "Speaker's Corner" would suggest there was only one speaker, wouldn't it? For those who hate [[apostrophe]]s altogether, [[Speakers Corner]] should be another redirect. But would we also need lower case c's ([[Speakers' corner]] etc.)?

I think Speecher's Corner close to [[Marble Arch]] is internationally famous. Far more than the other here mentioned locations. Hence do I make the (minor) '''proposal''' to split this article into one about Speaker's Corner, London solely (as a famous location and what goes on there) and an other one about the other mentioned places. [[User:Boeing720|Boeing720]] ([[User talk:Boeing720|talk]]) 03:25, 15 May 2017 (UTC)


I agree with Boeing720. To add: the section about Canada and Regina goes completely off-piste by discussing lamp posts in London, UK! Surely the text relating to London should be cut/pasted into the relevant section? anon poster
The proper name is [[Speakers' Corner]] and such should be the title of the article... The question is: how to change it?

== External links modified ==
:Hm ... I just tried the "move" function, not expecting it to work, but, surprisingly, it did. I have no idea why: I had always thought it wasn't possible to move a page to an already existing title. I hope that by doing so I haven't caused any trouble. [[User:KF|<KF>]] 19:40, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)


Hello fellow Wikipedians,
'without fear of legal repercussions'. Is there any authority for this?


I have just modified one external link on [[Speakers' Corner]]. Please take a moment to review [[special:diff/812700061|my edit]]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:
=="Climb down"==
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20150929151606/http://speakerscornerleeds.org.uk/ to http://www.speakerscornerleeds.org.uk/
Need information specifically on war in Iraq demonstration paragraph (specifically intent of phrase "climb down", as well as general intent of paragraph (if it should be included at all)). See original intent [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Speakers%27_Corner&oldid=21578280 here] (previous revision).

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
==Day & Time==
This article has the day and time for another Speaker's corner. Shouldn't the same be listed for that in London? Is it not restricted to a certain day of the week, or at least a certain time of the day? I specifically remember the police telling everyone to leave at a certain time. If anyone knows about this, we should get this information up.

==Nearly expert==
As a regular speaker and part-time researcher i count as nearly an expert, I've read the act and the parliamentary debates, as well as some history texts which I've been meaning to use to update the page for a while (in fact I did but then lost it due to connexion errors).

Speakers corner in Woodford Square in Port of Spain Trinidad is both delightful and civilised yet gets to the full story of virtually any subject broached. It's called "The University of Woodford Square" for good reasons and frequntly is divided by interest into "classes".

Speaker's Corner seems a fairly obvious inspiration for this scene, given the elements of competing speakers, religious topics and hecklers:

Maybe an authoritative citation is going to be hard to come by so I've rephrased the reference instead and removed the citation request.

== A great german forum... ==

Yeah :) The link so described does not seem to have much (or anything) to do with the physical Speakers' Corner (any of them) but, although it seems to be spam, I'd like to leave it for now as the use of the name or idea of Speakers' Corner in for example commercial/political forums may be worth writing about. I may move it somewhere more suitable then.

== reprocution? ==

''"any subject without fear of legal reprocutions"'' appears in the blurb or introduction of this article. I've looked up reprocution at [http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?gwp=13&s=reprocution answers.com], [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=reprocution&x=0&y=0 dictionary.com] and i've [http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Areprocution googled "define:reprocution"] and all come up blank. Surely "repercussions" would be a more fitting, appropriate word, since it's actually in most dictionaries?

== None in US? ==

The last time I was there, there WAS a speaker's corner/soap box in Independence Park near the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Its purpose is exactly as described in this article. Is it still there?
