Talk:Serjeant-at-arms

message: The two houses of the United States Congress have also adopted this tradition.[2] The primary role of the American Serjeant is as a Doorkeeper and to announce the President when he arrives to deliver the State of the Union address
:This seems to be incorrect.  The Sergeants-at-Arms in the US Congress, I think, do pretty much the same thing as other sergeants-at-arms.  Furthermore, in the House at least, there was a separate office of Doorkeeper of the House who announced the president.  john k 21:59, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Why can't we go back to Sergeant, which is a more accepted spelling? Mr. E. Sánchez (talk) 04:43, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm rather confused by the move too. I'll initiate the rather belated move back now. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 22:43, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  More accepted spelling by whom? Serjeant-at-arms is used in the UK and many Commonwealth countries. And what's all this rubbish about moving it "back"? The page was created with this name and has always had it (except for a clumsy cut-and-paste move in 2010 which was immediately reverted). So are you saying we should move it to sergeant-at-arms because that's the American term? See WP:ENGVAR for an explanation of why we don't do this. We keep articles at the title under which they were created. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:55, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Serjeant? 

message: I don't know about the other countries, but in the UK, it is officially Serjeant (for this post, not for the British Army rank etc), somebody has obviously just taken a cut and paste approach since I last looked, and changed not only the text, but even referenced quote parameters and the official Parliament url, breaking it. So whatever happens, please, lets have no repeat of this kind of silly mistake.

message: Note . I've reverted this as a cut-and-paste move. If you want the page moved, you will need to ask an admin to delete Sergeant-at-Arms first, in order to allow this page to be moved using the move button, in order to preserve the page history. MickMacNee (talk) 22:09, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The term "sergeant-at-arms" is now most commonly met with as the title of the rule-enforcer of an outlaw motorcycle club ("bikers" or "bikies"). Could someone who knows about this please add a section?  --Rofish (talk) 21:29, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

message: If the administrator finds any copyrighted materials, you could amend accordingly instead of bullying users by nullifying my entire contribution to the segment and take it as your own. That is now really misusing my contributions as your own and should be subjected to copyright rules instead. Does the rules of Wikipedia allows administrators to take others’ work as their own? 
If the materials I indicated are copyrighted, everything on Wikipedia is subjected to the same criterion because information from external sources are being used. Despite that, I have given due citations to the information that I have used and referenced to. That does not violate any copyright laws because (i) I have given due and full citations (ii) these information are on the public domain and it is meant for the public to reference.
In this case, I have removed the entire section on Singapore and thereby disallowing Wikipedia or its administrators to use any of my work, unless I am given credits for my contributions. Successor 11:15, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
