Talk:Donald III of Scotland

message: Does "the Fair" mean "the just" or "the good looking" when applied to him? Could this be clarified in the article, please? /Ludde23 Talk Contrib 18:06, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Donald's Oxford Dictionary of National Biography article says this: "Some physical characteristic presumably gave rise to the Gaelic name Domnall Bán, meaning Donald the Fair, by which he was commonly known". In modern Scottish Gaelic bàn can mean: "white"; or "fair-haired"; or "pale". So I think his name must have had something to do with a light complexion or light-coloured hair.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 07:09, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

message: "Donald was chosen as king and expelled the English from the court". This peropd of history is tricky. The Anglic Lowlanders were 'English' to the Gaaelic speaking Scots (and probaly 'English to themselves too).   The words 'English' and 'Scots' in this period refer as much to the language spoken as/or any nationality. Not only that, both England and Scotland were more collections of kingdoms than two distinct nation states.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.12.183 (talk) 13:33, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Is there any compelling reason for the metabolite brain concentrations and LD50s to have different units? Eutactic (talk) 02:21, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Three years after your post, I know, but yeah: It comes down to accuracy and precision. Micrograms are the more sensible unit when working on the microgram scale, milligrams on the milligram scale. If I was to replace 2460 mg/kg with 2460000 μg/kg, it could suggest that the associated error is on the microgram scale. Replacing 28 μg with 0.028 mg is just harder to read. Hope this helps.

This is unnecessary. It is not normally included in succession-boxes. It makes the box messy, as he was regent several times: except for the two periods above, also in 1777, which would make it even more messy. The regency's should be removed from the box.

Shouldn't this article definitely have an English title (This Is The English Language Wikipedia TM)?
:Hair-splitting - It is an English title, it does'nt use the Cyrillic alphabet so it is a latinization already. Really, I'd say no, it is the proper name, if you make it the English translation - Federal Security Service, it will become mixed with US federal terms. I'm a firm believer that the native term or as close as possible should be used, it avoids confusion. Other wikipedians will disagree.
It is not an English, title, it is a Russian title in the Latin alphabet. This is an English-language encyclopaedia and article titles should be in English. If you think it sound too like an Amerian title, call it Federal Security Service (Russia). In fact that is where I am going to redirect it to. Adam 10:31, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
