message: There are a number of references to Turks, Turkish etc. While this probably reflects what they were called in the Allied trenches it is pejorative; they were in fact Ottoman army soldiers. Can these be changed? --Rskp (talk) 06:32, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I spoke to one some years back and he called himself a Turk. It's not pejorative. I take it that you mean that the soldiers in some units were Arabs? I can have a look. Hawkeye7 (talk) 06:47, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes Turkey came into being after the First World War but during the war they were the Ottoman. No hadn't thought of Arabs but Ottoman is a more inclusive term. --Rskp (talk) 08:17, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Well done!

message: If the term "light horse" in the above contested statement is a military term, or used as a decription of a (partial) military task force, should it be capitalised?  All other military unit descriptions are, including the 1st Light Horse Brigade, which is the one presumably referenced in the actual statement - but I'm loathe to make the change without clarification first.

replies: text: No, it is not a proper noun in this usage ie not referring to a specific unit. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:27, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Why does MOS not apply to Chauvel's name? He should, in the first instance, be referred to as "Sir Henry George Chauvel known as Harry Chauvel." --Rskp (talk) 06:07, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The King created him Sir Harry Chauvel. I've read through the manual of style, and looked at various news articles like . I've set it to a form that I think answers your objection while still being correct. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:03, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I was not questioning his title, just his christian names. Now it does look like his name complies with MOS. Thanks a lot. --Rskp (talk) 01:16, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

message: The infobox says: 16 April 1865, Tabulam, New South Wales, Australia.
As Australia didn't exist as a country in 1865, would it not be more accurate (and thus, perhaps, "better") if it said: 16 April 1865, Tabulam, New South Wales? Pdfpdf (talk) 12:39, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Didn't the British refer the continent as Australia in the late 18th century? If so, Australia wouldn't be inaccurate if a little misleading. Hack (talk) 12:57, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: a) Thanks for the response. b) in answer: I don't know.  c) The settlements were individual colonies, which were entities in themselves - c.f. one doesn't refer to France, Europe; Canada, North America; or Egypt, Africa; so why would one refer to the Colony of NSW, Australia? Pdfpdf (talk) 13:29, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really answering the question but there was a suggestion during the 1880s that NSW be renamed Australia. This suggestion was not supported by the other colonies who presumably saw themselves as Australian (if not as a nation-state but as a nation). Hack (talk) 13:49, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
