== Error on page. Suggested change. by [[User:KirkJTorrance|KirkJTorrance]] ([[User talk:KirkJTorrance|talk]]) updated 19:10, 10 November 2013 (UTC) ==

The following paragraph has incorrect statements and is copied from David Torrance's book, "Salmond Against the Odds". The errors in the hardback, were corrected in the paperback edition of the book.

The paragraph in question is:

Salmond attended the local Linlithgow Academy 1966-1972. He studied at Edinburgh College of Commerce 1972-1973, gaining an HNC in Business Studies,[9] and was then accepted by the University of St Andrews, where he studied Economics and Medieval History. During his time at St Andrews, Salmond lived in St Salvator's Hall. He was elected as Vice-President (Education) of the Students' Representative Council in 1977 and was also nominated to join St Andrews Community Council that year.[10] Salmond graduated with a 2:2 Joint Honours MA in Economics and Medieval History in May 1978.[10][11]

I'd suggest the following to correct the inaccuracies:

Salmond attended Linlithgow Academy 1966-1972. He studied at Edinburgh College of Commerce 1972-1973 [8] and was then accepted by the University of St Andrews, from where he graduated with a joint honours MA in Economics and Medieval History in May 1978. During his time at St Andrews, Salmond lived in St Salvator's Hall. He was elected as Vice-President (Education) of the Students’ Representative Council in 1977 and was also nominated to join St Andrews Community Council that year.[9]

What "international Conference" took place in North Macedonia?

I heard it had something to do with Aleister Crowley... 2A02:908:1578:7780:79C5:E837:B3E4:C1DE (talk) 17:51, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's sourced now, it was a conference for young leaders, run by a former prime minister of said country. Where did you hear that it had to do with an occultist who died 77 years ago? Unknown Temptation (talk) 22:19, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
