Talk:Commonwealth realm/Archive 5

message: 'Her father, King George VI, upon becoming Emperor of the Dominion of India in 1947, had also become Emperor of many former Indian Principalities which had merged with the Indian Union in 1947 which were originally never British Colonies but had been under the suzerainty of the British Crown.' From the article.
I'd like to object at this. As far as I know, George VI reigned over the Dominion of India in 1947-1950 as a King of India, not as an Emperor. Certainly he wasn't 'Emperor of many former Indian principalities'. Mapple 05:47, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe you're correct. As I recall the "Emperor of India" title was dropped upon India's independence. Homey 06:41, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, technically, he only abdicated the Imperial title in 1948, but his abdication was retroactive to August 15, 1947 (the day India and Pakistan became independent).  I have not been able to find the exact date in 1948 that he actually abdicated, nor a reason why he didn't give the title up immediately upon independence.  Anyone else know? --Jfruh 18:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  India, 1947 

message: The article mentions the invasion of Grenada as a moment where the Queen's roles in various states were in conflict.  However, it seems as if there's a more obvious example: in the Indo-Pakistani_War_of_1947, George VI was actually the head of state of two states that were at war with one another, yes?  Or am I missing something? --Jfruh 18:33, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, Pakistan's G-G was Mohammed_Ali_Jinnah -- who, until he died the next year, was the real executive there, an anomaly.  Up till August of 1947, Mountbatten had been G-G of Indian Empire, which had included the territory that became Pakistan; but after partition, he was G-G of India only. --Jfruh 19:46, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Template talk:Taxobox

message: In the article stub about Cytherellidae the taxobox says it belongs to the order Platycopida, which is correct. And the taxobox in the article stub about Punciidae says that too belongs to the order Platycopida, which is wrong. It belongs to the order Palaeocopida. But when I change the info in the taxobox to correct it, the taxobox describing Cytherellidae changes too, from Platycopida to Palaeocopida. And vice versa. The two taxoboxes are connected, so when you edit it in one of the mentioned articles, the same thing happens in the other. Is there a way to separate them? Hipporoo (talk) 00:28, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed. I'm not sure what you tried to changed or where, but you needed to change the taxonomy template for Punciidae. I changed the parent taxon in Template:Taxonomy/Punciidae to Puncioidea, which was already set up correctly as part of Palaeocopida.

message: Move  from the top of the template to the bottom, immediately after |}, with no intervening characters.
This will prevent taxoboxes from adding an empty paragraph tag that contains an empty style tag (<style data-mw-deduplicate="...">...</style>) which is visible as extra space before the lede. The ExpandTemplates link in #TemplateStyles tag generates empty paragraph demonstrates that the placement right after the close of the table works. — Eru·tuon 23:08, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Star Trek: The Role Playing Game

message: This articles spends a lot of time on John Ford's Klingons. I'm a fan myself but I'm not sure it should be the focus of the article.  In fact rather than being controversial I'd say Ford's vision of the Klingons is very consistent with what was developed in later Trek TV.

Talk:Leyland P76

message: To this day the P76 is considered a lemon of Aussie motoring. When I ask my dad and other ol' timers why this is the case (I was too young to remember the car itself), they can't really give me a good answer. It sounds to me the car was as good as any other mechanically, so the label is probably unjustified.... maybe it refers more to the supply problems outlined in the article. Can anyone shed any light? --Jquarry 22:07, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Runs on Cheddar Cheese? 

message: The car was sarcastically nicknamed the P38 by a few people because it was "half the car" it should've been. I'm not going to add that to the article as I don't have any references. Also, I'm surprised nobody made mention of the notorious door window issues these things had. If you slammed the door on a P76, you ran the real risk of the window coming out of its tracks and falling into the door frame. I was told on good authority by a mechanic that this was a cockup on Leyland's part at the factory due to inexperience with the Loctite glue they used. Naturally, I don't have any refs for this either, but I thought I'd put it here. Peter Greenwell (talk) 10:45, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Scott Podsednik

message: It is stated in the article that Podsednik was the second player to hit a home run in the postseason without hitting one during the regular season, is the other player Jesse Haines? He hit a home run in Game 3 of the 1926 World Series without hitting one during the regular season that year.
But Podsednik's has a minimum requirement of 500 at bats. Haines was a pitcher. So I don't think he had 500 at bats. There could be several that has hit home runs in playoffs and none in the playoffs. Kingjeff 06:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

message: In my edit summary, I didn’t cavil at the notability of the triple crown; I was complaining about disorganization of the article. Thread section isn’t supposed to be a flat list of everything unusual that Polgar ever did.It is supposed to be a quick summary of the rest of the article.  The triple crown is not there, for instance in the “career” section, so it doesn’t qualify for the lead section.
Before you rush off to move your text to the career section, may I remind you that Polgar’s triple crown is not in the same league as Carlsen’s, not by about 300 rating points.

It has actually become popular enough to spawn several fan-parodies, the best known one by an artist and animator by the name of Zarla, and is especially popular in the furry community (due to the fact that Zarla's character is an anthropomorphic vixen) and is unofficially the most reposted animation on the furry imageboard spin-off of 4Chan, FChan.

Template talk:Vijayanagara empire

message: While the telugu Wikipedia sports this template and has articles about almost all the kings, one problem that we can run into in the english wikipedia is that the list of kings as mentioned on Vijayanagara empire differs with those on the template including the names of dynasties. The latter is a settled issue as the name of Krishnadevaraya's father makes it clear as to which dynasty he is from. I propose that this template be retained on all the pages related to Vijayanagara empire so that the issues that emerge can be thrashed out amicably. --Gurubrahma 14:06, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Foreseen problems with this template

message: I've been altering some of the names, looking for some consistency; not easy. I've just changed Aaraveeti (dynasty) to Araviti. This is perhaps not ideal. I've seen the form 'Aravidu', and some other forms for the individual rulers, perhaps deriving separately from Kannada and Telugu, modern and older. Whatever names are used finally, they should bee transliterated consistently. Also it would help if someone could check what language the name is from, and put that in the article.

thread_title: Reestablished the list

message: I have WP:BOLDLY removed from this article the names of practitioners that are not linked to their own articles. I am far from the first editor to do this. The reasons I have done so are as follows:
* The section's title, "Notable examples", means that in WP terms they must have their own articles. If this is supposed to be list of non-notable examples the section title should be changed to "Examples".
* This issue has not been properly considered on this Talk Page for twelve years, during which time the list has changed.
* As with many lists of this sort, it may have been subject to WP:FANCRUFT with no apparent supervision.
I am very much in agreement that major practitioners in the field can be poorly covered as regards literature and the media. However, WP policy does not allow for WP:UNSOURCED material even when that material is both true and relevant. WP:VERIFY discusses the fact that, as an encyclopaedia, WP requires all content to be verifiable rather than simply true. If we are to include the contribution of these artists, the list as it stood is not a particularly good way of doing that. A discussion here to talk about the best way of covering this type of content may be a good idea. -- Polly Tunnel (talk) 11:32, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
