Talk:Real Sociedad Canina de España

message: Oh, look, I'm not going to enter into a spitting contest about this one, but we have to have consistency.  I was admonished for entering articles into English Wikipedia in a foreign language, "correct name" or not.  Please see User talk:Quill#Spanish Kennel Club Which is it, folks??!! Quill 21:02, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, lovely, I have no idea. I'm not sure that I agree with the latest move, it does seem to have been done unilaterally (ditto with German Kennel Club).  I'm not sure whether other people will find this discussion here & it probably needs to go somewhere where other dog-knowledgeable people are more likely to find it. Maybe dog project page again? Elf | Talk 21:15, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Per Wikipedia naming conventions "Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature."  A sub guideline of that is "Name your pages in English and place the native transliteration on the first line of the article unless the native form is more commonly used in English than the English form."  This is the official policy (not a guideline) of wikipedia, so there's not much room for debate unless it falls in an abiguous category, like the name of a band or something that is so unique to that country/language that even English speakers call it by its foreign equivalent, like the Rio Grande (and not the Big River).  So, in my opinion, since the International Kennel Club is very known in the English speaking world, and the respective country members are referred to by their "country plus Kennel Club" (ie - the Mexican Kennel Club), then this should follow that model.  And of course, there would be a redirect from Real Sociedad Canina en España to whatever whatever.  How about we keep it as it is for now, but nominate this for a rename and see what the consensus is.  Or, any one of you have the option of asking one of the admins in this area.--Esprit15d 21:29, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, Elf is one of the admins in this area (as am I) but that's really not relevant - Wikipedia  doesn't work that way :)  -- sannse (talk) 22:48, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Figurehead

message: This term is used in religion too. E.g. in David V. Barrett's book The New Believers chapter After the Prophet Dies page 61 "The School of Economic Science, in a way, has had three figureheads: Andrew  Maclaren (1975) ... []" It is often very difficult for an outsider to assess who has real power in a religious organization.  Can we move this article to figurehead (metaphor)? Andries 21:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: *:Figurehead (metaphor) → :Figurehead —(Discuss)— This is by far the most common use of the word 'figurehead' today. Additionally, the article about the metaphor could be expanded considerably. —16:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Scouting in Rhode Island

message: Would Wikipedians entertain the idea of having the Councils-by-state sections recategorized to "Scouting in Arizona", "Scouting in Washington", and so on, rather than a list of every council and district? The reason I would like this considered is 
1) no other country's Scouting articles are divided into such minute details (except for The Scout Association of Hong Kong, and really, is that much minutiae important or interesting to the reader?)
2) many councils that a reader may choose to look up, like the Fitchburg Area Council of Massachusetts or the Vigilante Area Council of Montana, went extinct 30+ years ago, yet may be of interest in a more state-based article
3) many states like Alaska share a communal Scout history, only fairly recently being broken into smaller councils, others like North Dakota had several merged into one, and some Scouting histories are better told encompassing an entire state. The fact that Scouts in California prior to the charter of the BSA were the youth arm of the California Highway Patrol, or the fact that Connecticut, while having only eight counties, has had 22 councils over the course of its history, would be well-included in a statewide article

This is probably one of the more disturbing episodes of the series, as Buss' behavior recalls that of extreme gaming and anime fanatics known as "otakus".

text: Also, actually there's no copyright issue here since it's just text and therefore fair use isn't relevant.

replies: text: *comment local notability is not necessarily enough to warrant an independent article - each campsite is notable in its own area or region. Also, just because the Scouting in Illinois is "lengthy" does not mean it should not be expanded even more - if there are a lot of campsites in Illinois, then maybe we should have a new article named "Scout Campsites in Illinois", but unless a very substantial amount of information is added to the Camp Robert Drake article in due time, the project will merge the articles as per the project guidelines -- Horus Kol Talk 05:25, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
