text: I don't agree. This is a category by nationality and (sub)profession and that is as far as subcategorisation should go. In a few cases the resulting categories will be very large, but that isn't really a problem as we have category indexes. There are usually awards categories of some kind that one can use to pick out the most prominent members of a profession, and hopefully a future software upgrade will allow sorting by number of edits, number of incoming links, or some other criterion that identifies higher profile articles.

message: Hi -- this is a placeholder discussion item, since I don't have time to do the work I'm suggesting these days. I have vivid memories of the amazing Rockwell Kent mural in the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee room in Longworth, and it certainly merits mention in Wikipedia. AFAIK it's still there. Here's a link to a study Kent did for the mural: http://www.heckscher.org/pages.php?which_page=collection_image_detail&which_image=2001_009_140  2602:306:BCD4:B450:70B9:B6C7:35D6:F337 (talk) 14:14, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:List of University of Cambridge people

message: What view do we take of people who attended colleges before they were part of the University, or even before the college was in Cambridge?  Do we think that folk who were at Homerton when it was in Hackney can reasonably be regarded as "University of Cambridge members"?  I imagine that the people concerned didn't think of themselves in that way in their lifetime.  I realise that in some cases it's rather difficult to know whewre to draw the line, as colleges developed progressively closer association with the University.

Talk:Manzanilla (wine)

message: 'Reminiscent of the tea' was intentional, referring to chamomile tea. The wine is also said to be reminiscent of the sea, but that's not where the name comes from. Hashashin 04:40, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: The article calls manzanilla  "a variety of fino sherry", but this is not correct. Manzanilla is not sherry, it is manzanilla—a similarly fortified wine of its own denomination, not made at Jerez de la Frontera but at Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
The name most likely comes from the manzanilla grape, a variety associated with the town of Manzanilla, the Roman Maxilua, in the province of Huelva.

message: I noticed that CarolGray made an edit to the article "Redding", with a comment "avoid redirect".
Wikipedia:Disambiguation is quite clear on this point:
:To link to a disambiguation page (instead of a specific meaning), link to the redirect to the disambiguation page that includes the text "(disambiguation)" in the title (such as, America (disambiguation)).  This helps distinguish accidental links to the disambiguation page from intentional ones.
Hence my edit of 2 Feb 2006 on which I put the comment "Revert link to explicit disambiguation page (see Disambiguation#Links to disambiguation pages) (this time piping (using empty pipe syntax) to hide from main view)".
I think my reasoning is still sound, and there are no convincing indications to the contrary, so I will put it back in line with WP:D. Thanks, Duckbill 16:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of republics

message: Shouldn’t the Weimar Republic be included? I don’t know if it counts but it feels like it should… Snizzbut (talk) 14:31, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weimar Republic? 

message: This term is nonsensical from a political science point of view.  There is no such thing.  A republic is a state whose governmental system has no hereditary monarch.  A monarchy is a state which has such.  Neither term implies either democracy or despotism.  A monarchy can be as limited as Japan or as absolute as Saudi Arabia but it remains a monarchy.  Likewise, a republic can be as democratic as Iceland or as tyrannical as Enver Hoxha's Albania; both are republics.  The notion of a ″Crowned Republic″ is as self contradictory as a short giant or a progressive conservative, the two terms are opposite in meaning.  The proper term for a monarchy where the sovereign is a de facto or de jure figurehead has always been a ″Constitutional Monarchy″.  This is even true of a limited monarchy like the United Kingdom, which has no written constitution, but where the monarch has no actual political rôle beyond fulfilling ceremonial functions.  For a passing moment I wondered if I'd lost my mind, or if political science definitions had been revised while I wasn't looking, so I rang up a friend of mine who is a professor of history to confirm the nature of these definitions.  He assures me that the academic, political science definitions of republic and monarchy have not changed.  I have no say over the format of Wikipedia, but I would suggest that the issue be put to the actual, named editors, and that this ersatz category be deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:3D08:2678:84E0:0:0:0:F33D (talk) 20:50, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: I see that the article was originally William Malone, and was then moved to the current title to "make way for a dab page". Disambiguation by adding a middle name is not the way to go about this. The page should be listed by the name that the person was known as, and if disambiguation is needed, then a descriptor is added in parentheses. So was he known as William George Malone or William Malone? Schwede66 19:31, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure which is best to use.  A lot of my sources do refer to him as William George Malone on first mention; some then revert to Malone or in case, William Malone.  Others use W. G. Malone or William Malone on first mention. I'm inclined to go with William Malone with (soldier) as a disambiguator.  He is named in this way in the news article that is referenced in the article, which to me suggests this is the common name in usage. Zawed (talk) 09:26, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

The counterargument i present may seem weak as phrased, but consider that three people (including Miki Saegusa) who experienced (or at least read about) the events of The Return of Godzilla and Godzilla vs. Biollante end up in the universe occupied by King Ghidorah, so the authority figures in Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla, if not the general public (through Terasawa's writings), would indeed be aware of the existence of Biollante in some different timeline.
