Talk:Pope Lando

message: I bought a book from one of the Basilicas in Rome that calls this Pope Landus. Is this a mistake, or is it a variant of his name (Latinised rather than Italian)? Should this be mentioned? At least a redirect would be useful as I got no results when I initially searched for 'Landus'.--217.206.93.190 (talk) 11:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently both Lando and Landus were used. "Lando" was declined in the third declension (Landonis, Landoni, etc), but it would also be the dative/ablative of "Landus", so that's kind of odd. Here is a page from Liutprand of Cremona that has both forms. Adam Bishop (talk) 12:07, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent! I have added it.--217.206.93.190 (talk) 14:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Lando was a very common Lombard name. I always assumed he was a Lombard from south-central Italy. In this case, Lando would be the native "nominative" form, declined as if Latin, and Landus would be a further Latinisation, no? Srnec (talk) 03:17, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably, there are lots of ultimately Germanic names that were Latinized in the first, second, and (when they end in -o) third declension. Guido is another that also sometimes appeared as "Guidus". Adam Bishop (talk) 13:30, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Or Landus?

message: If you read the history of this article, you will see about half the edits have been about Lando in popular culture, or references to Lando Calrissian in some sort or another.  See here.  Simply linking to Lando Calrissian as a see also link is a much happier compromise.μηδείς (talk) 00:38, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I came away from this brief article VERY confused about the naming of the pope; it says: "He did not change his name on his accession." ... "He was the last pope to use a papal name which had not been previously used until Pope John Paul I did so in 1978." But he didn't change his name, so what is this talking about? I think this has become gibberized due to previous edits. I'm not sure what it's trying to say.  Heimburg (talk) 23:29, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: They are saying he used his given name, 'Lando,' and was the last pope to not share a name with another pope. Bkatcher (talk) 02:32, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

text: It's unencyclopedic trivia that is meaningless in this article. --Kansas Bear (talk) 02:35, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it's unencyclopedic. When the new pope chose the name Francis, several news outlets devoted a lot of time to the fact that he was the first Francis. Bkatcher (talk) 03:22, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Perhaps this article could be split neatly into sections like Life and Pontificate. Should that be done?--~Sıgehelmus♗(Tøk) 22:24, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is currently three paragraphs long. Given what we know about Lando, it is unlikely to get much longer. I don't see how any "splitting up" is necessary. Srnec (talk) 22:29, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I personally feel that in this case the article should have a short lede with a summary of what we do know about his pontificate, and then a general "Life" section with everything else. "Lando was...his term was known for X" something like that. I understand if it should be left as is, but it just seems a little clunky to me even considering length.-22:49, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
