Talk:Bourbon

message: I made a fumble between the en and io version. Please an administrator to put it back. Marc Venot 05:59, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem, I restored the previous version. However, you can do that yourself in the future. Go to the "history" tab, click the date of the previous version, and then click the "edit this page" tab. You can than save the previous version as the current version. Cheers.

thread_title: Mix-up of en and io versions

message: I've redirected Borbon and Borbón to Bourbon because they didn't have disambig pages, and the family name and word meaning are similar in French and Spanish.  I haven't added many disambig links for Borbon or Borbón yet, however.  Anyone who wants to do it before me, feel free.  --10:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Borbon and Borbón need links 

message: The Spanish monarchy is not referred to by any stretch of the imagination as "Borbó." Eboracum (talk) 05:31, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Borbó?!

message: In my opinion, "bourbon" should direct to the bourbon whiskey page, and this disambiguation page should become a supplementary link at the top of that article. In common usage, I believe people looking for "bourbon" are mostly looking for the whiskey.

replies: text: Four months have gone by and no one has disagreed (or commented on the subject at all).  I tried to take the bold step of proceeding as proposed, but my rename was blocked because of the existence of the other page. I have tagged the Talk:Bourbon (disambiguation) page with a request for deletion, but I'm not sure whether I did it properly. —BarrelProof (talk) 04:16, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Any major changes to this article need to be made by uninvolved editors, not the 4-month-old SPA making 20+ edits a day, the editor praising and protecting the SPA, or me. Flowanda | Talk 07:02, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem – I have no problem with further waiting if necessary – I actually thought I was being rather restrained already by tagging the article for a merge for four months and writing a justification on the Talk page before acting. To me, it seems like a very obvious improvement.  Ask a random person on the street what Bourbon is, and I am confident that 99% of those asked (at least among those that provide a coherent response) will say it's some kind of alcoholic drink. (Incidentally, I didn't understand some of those remarks – what does "the editor praising and protecting the SPA" mean?) —BarrelProof (talk) 12:44, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

text: OK, now three more months have gone by (seven months total), and there is still no objection. I hope that this is a sufficient demonstration of patience, and that the renaming can now proceed. —BarrelProof (talk) 05:51, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: * Follow-up comment: For what it's worth, the ratio of page visits has become even more lopsided since the above discussion.  In August 2011, the ratio of Bourbon whiskey to House of Bourbon article views was 81044 / 24314 = 3.33. In September 2011, the ratio was 67808 / 21616 = 3.14. That's more than 3 to 1 in both periods. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:06, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
