Talk:Lord Protector

message: Quote: Oliver Cromwell and afterwards his son Richard Cromwell were the Lords Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland during the period 1649 to 1659. (My emphasis)
Although 1649-59 are the dates for the Commonwealth, isn't it the case that Oliver Cromwell did not assume the title Lord Protector until 16 December 1653? -- Picapica 19:38, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: It seems very dubious to me that the Swedish and Danish terms quoted should be translated in English as "Lord Protector".  Is there any actual evidence to support this ?Eregli bob (talk) 12:53, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Danish and Swedish 

message: Neither Swedish "Riksföreståndare" or Danish "Rigsforstander" translates to Lord Protector. In both cases "National Director", or possibly "King's Director" - and the titles were used after a Sovereign's death before his successor was concidered of age. "Riks-" (not "Rix-")/"Rigs-" is genitive of "Rike"/"Rige" and answers to the German word "Reich" (and "Rijk" in Dutch). "Country" would perhaps be the best English translation of that part of the word. While "föreståndare"/"forestander" means "warden", "manager",  or "director" or even "principal". The word "Protector" means (in Swedish) "övervakare" (supervisor) , "försvarare" (defender). The Scandinavian "Riksförestånare"/"Rigsforstander" profession or office doesn't equal a rebel like Oliver Cromwell. In my mind, was Oliver Cromwell more close to the French Georges Danton or Maximilien Robespierre or some of the American insurgents. In any case I thik the Scandinavian part ought to be erased, as both translation and office are uncorrect comparissions Boeing720 (talk) 03:19, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:List of Republican Roman Consuls

message: Besides abbreviating the prenomina where possible, are we also removing the filiation (e.g., "M.f.", "L.f.") from these names? -- llywrch 19:12, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: I waffle and waffle... in general, it seems better to move the filiation to bios, unless needed for disambig when the three+ names are insufficient.  Since discovering the massive Manius/Marcus Curius Dentatus confusion - when museum curators are mixed up, you know it's bad :-) - I've been a little down on abbreviating praenomina.  One compromise would be to abbreviate the common ones and write out the uncommon, but that will still be mystifying to the random person who finds this list. Written-out praenomina have the advantage of being more sonorous and a little more "Roman-sounding", which is good for nonspecialist reader appeal. Stan 19:49, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Talk:IKEA

message: Is IKEA Dutch or Swedish?
I'd argue it's Swedish. An IP address editor begs to differ, saying it's Dutch.
I'm pretty sure it counts as Swedish. That's what the article has said for a long time. References seem to say it is. It was founded by Swedish people in Sweden. Its first stores were in Sweden. They serve Swedish food. All their products have Swedish names.
There's only a couple of things that could make it Dutch. The first is that their headquarters is in the Netherlands, which is the only reason the IP gave, though I would argue that this doesn't mean a thing, as other businesses have HQs in different places to their nationality. Also, the full company name is Inter IKEA Systems B.V., and I think "BV" is a Dutch incorporation type.
Perhaps it counts as Swedish-Dutch? Strugglehouse (talk) 17:47, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

message: This article needs to inform the reader what the origin is of the term French kiss. Kingturtle 17:33 Apr 26, 2003 (UTC)
I think the proper title should be French kiss, and propose moving this page there. Google gives 4,000 hits for "tongue kiss" and 121,000 hits for "French kiss".
:Given that tongue kissing is called "English kissing" by the French, it seems a lot more appropriate to use a country-neutral title, and I also think the wording in the text should be changed to reflect this, but I guess others might want to chime in on this.

Talk:Tarski's circle-squaring problem

message: Concerning this: In particular, it is impossible to dissect a circle and make a square using pieces that could be cut with scissors (i.e. having Jordan curve boundary).
