==Notability and advertising==
Dear 64.114.128.103, I have reverted the notability and advertising templates you inserted. My reasons are as follows.
*Surely being governor of the Bank of England confers notability without further discussion.
*I scanned quickly through the article looking for "advertising" and found none. Perhaps you could state which part of the article seems like advertising prose to you.

== Dubious ==

The following link is used to claim that Mark Carney is a British citizen - [https://www.channel4.com/news/mark-carney-jon-snow-channel-4-news-video Full transcript: Mark Carney talks to Jon Snow - Channel 4 News] . However, the actual text about his citizenship states:

''You’re also a British subject – British citizenship can’t be far away?''

''I will – to take up my right to British citizenship there’s a residency requirement (JS so you are interested in doing it?) I made that commitment to the prime minister. The residency requirement actually extends to about the end of my term as it turns out despite the fact that I have been married to my British wife for 18 years.''

This indicates that he is not a British citizen (British Subject status is not the same as British citizenship and it is sometimes (incorrectly) used as a synonym for a [[Commonwealth citizen]), and won't be elgible until about the end of his term, which is approximately in 2018.

Revision as of 19:50, 15 July 2024

Nationality

Given that Carney had to take British citizenship in order to take up the "reserved post" of Governor of the Bank of England, should not his nationality be updated to Canadian-British? 86.2.64.179 (talk) 21:05, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He did not have to take up British citizenship to take up the position as Governor -- he is not eligible for it until about the end of his term, at least according to the transcripts of this interview. [1]

Arun (talk) 05:44, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone name a reliable source stating that Mark Carney has since acquired British citizenship? The current source used in the article to support the claim of British citizenship appears to state only that he plans to apply for British citizenship.--Boson (talk) 00:34, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. He does not yet have British citizenship and the only source for the statement he does specifically says that he won't qualify until the end of his term. I'll update it. Harsimaja (talk) 16:34, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jacob Rees-Mogg as source

I have removed a recent addition to the article which I believe to be sourced ultimately from Jacob Rees-Mogg. He has a large undeclared financial interest: much of his £100m+ fortune is invested with hedge funds, especially Somerset Capital Management LLP, of which he is, I think, still a director and partner. The hedge fund industry expects Brexit Britain to be a low-tax, low-regulation haven for financial speculation. Wildfowl (talk) 01:21, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree that JRM has a conflict of interest; however, he is a prominent (and influential!) politician and I think his comments are worth noting. --Bangalamania (talk) 02:16, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that his comments are worth noting, as he might be the next British prime minister – but not without noting his conflict of interest. Wildfowl (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
