Gazetted as a verb?[edit]

I was wondering what "Gazetted" means as a verb: it appears to be particularly focus on this one cultural context. Is there anyway a wiki-link could make this meaning more clear to readers?Sadads (talk) 20:32, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I am aware, this is standard English usage. It means "to publish in a gazette" – see "wikt:gazette#Verb". — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 20:38, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Never lived there[edit]

The article states that no prime minister has ever lived there, but goes on to say that Lee Kuan Yew did stay there "in 1965 for a short time for security reasons". Would it be more accurate to have the intro say that no prime minister has ever lived there, except on a temporary basis? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 21:38, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
