Talk:Ambassador

message: I have moved the contents of this page to Ambassador (diplomacy) because of the large numbers of Ambassador automobiles that need disambiguation: Nash Ambassador, AMC Ambassador, Hindustan Ambassador, etc.

In this case disambiguation must be done in a different way; please read the guidelines: it is the clear case of "primary topic" disambiguation. Mikkalai 18:14, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Creation of Ambassador (diplomacy)

message: The page says:"Previously, ambassadors were known as minister..."
#"previously" - before what?
#Even today there's the title of "minister plenipotentiary", according to MW Online a diplomatic rank below ambassador, but with full power. Seems to be especially common in South-American countries ("ministro plenipotenciario").

message: . . . and need to be added to this article.  Who wants to help expand on these topics here?  --avnative 22:47, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
I'm happy to lend a hand here.  One thought, though: for these more general discussions of the work and role of senior diplomats, it might be better done in the article Head of Mission.  The purpose, characteristics and duties of Ambassadors are to all intents and purposes the same as those of High Commissioners, Envoys Extraordinary and Ministers Plenipotentiary, Consuls-General, Chargés d'Affaires, etc, who are all given the generic designation of Head of Mission.  The articles for each of these other terms can then be shorter and concentrate on the history and technical aspects of each title.

thread_title: Picture Problem

message: In the article, “the term is rooted in Mongol-Manchu word, Amban Said (Appointed Minister)” is stated very matter-of-factly. I found the origin of the word was relatively controversial, with listed origins in Old French, Italian, Middle English, Medieval Latin, and even Celtic. I’m in no position to make accusations of falsely posted information, but in such a confident statement it would be beneficial to note the source of such information. Especially when addressing this relatively debatable topic, assuming the writer has sound reasoning or strong supporting evidence to back his/her statement, readers should ideally be able to confirm the information themselves. If the writer does not have sufficient evidence to support the previous statement, he/she should consider rephrasing the statement in a way that would avoid misleading readers to take the information as a fact. It may be beneficial to expand upon the topic of origin by noting the fact that there is a level of debate on where the word’s origin lies, perhaps addressing some of these other roots.

replies: text: I can find no reliable source giving a "Manchu-Mongol" origin of the word (most dictionaries suggest an etymology from the Latin "ambactus"), so I am deleting the reference. If anybody can find a reliable source for this fact, feel free to add it back in, but it would be best to avoid reference to "Manchu", since this ethonym did not come into use until more than two hundred years after the term "ambassador" entered the English language.
