Talk:Courland Governorate

message: Huh. Saw the history and apparently there's some edit war or WP:localconsensus going on I don't want to get in the middle of, but the title's still wrong. Governorate of Courland (noun) is correct; Courlandish Governorate (adj) is correct (and the literal translation from the Russian); Courland (Governorate) (noun) is correct; but the current title is a pig's breakfast.
Is there some source for this name outside of Wikipedia? We should note it in the article. — LlywelynII 18:11, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

When I googled Livland province, I saw this governorate of Livonia, and thought this page was on the medieval Livonia. And yes, I am aware of the annoying way some people work here (mentioned in the preceding discussion from over 10 years ago), only googling stuff trying to make their uninformed opinions into wiki-reality.

Talk:Terra Mariana

message: Was the Livonian Confederation (and for that matter, the Monastic State of the Teutonic Knights) actually IN the Holy Roman Empire? Most sources I have seen point to no, just wondering if there is any sources that say whether or not these nations actually WERE in the HRE. Rcduggan (talk) 00:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  In the Holy Roman Empire 

message: OK, here is the deal, since Livonian Confederation was only formed in the 15th century, but we still need an article that would cover the history for the period from after the Livonian Crusade up to Livonian War, and since this article has been fulfilling the purpose, it would need a new and appropriate name. If we go with the pattern, Polish Livonia, Swedish Livonia this article should be called either German Livonia 23 returns at google books or Teutonic Livonia 4 returns at googe books or also a bit ambiguous Old Livonia has been used by historians -138 returns at google books. The bottom line, there were 3 major periods in the history of Old-Teutonic-German Livonia. The era of Swordbrothers, the era of Ordenstaat after the Swordbrothers were merged with Teutonic Order, and finally the era of Livonian Confedertaion after the 1410 Battle of Grunwald the Livonian branch of the Teutonic Order , the Livonian Order continued de facto rule in Livonia independently and more in cooperation with local Prince Bishops by signing the confederation agreement. Any comments and thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!--Termer (talk) 21:39, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "German Livonia", despite the parallels with "Polish Livonia", "Swedish Livonia", is—to the best of my knowledge—a neologism. Nevertheless, you are right that a better name could be found for this article. Old Livonia is, indeed, ambiguous, but has been used in some scholarly contexts. Another precise, albeit more unwieldy option would be Livonia (German). And then there's a good old standby, used by contemporaries: Terra Mariana. —Zalktis (talk) 09:57, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems that You nailed it! The Latin name for the land of the Virgin Mary? Actually, it's not as rare as one would think, it beats at google books the Livonian Confederation 119 returns with 367 , it's more than 3x even though not all of the returns speak about the country exactly. And even the Encyclopedia Americana - Page 87 says: popularly called Livonia. Under its official name, Terra Mariana, it was technically a principality of the Holy Roman Empire.

message: 2K7, people uses this notation a lot lately, doesn't it mean 2.7K or 2700? Not 2007?
Shouldn't we correct the usage of this notation?
2M7 means 2700000, not 2000007! Imagine wrong usage of this notation in a nuclear power plant! This notation has been used a long time in Electronics.
:It's not the job of wikipedia to correct common usage. As I was gearing up on the issue most of the references were DST issue but when i checked what the wider world was calling it it was clearly Y2K7. It's a matter of interpritation to make Y2K7 2700 - you are assuming some rules. There are various rules - for example Firefox is now 1.5.0.10 which is higher than 1.5.0.9.--Smkolins 11:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  References 

message: I've added a paragraph from a new book review which contains quotes of atrocities from a German officer, Erich Balla.  I've put it after the first paragraph which quoted a fictionalised account {from someone who was actually there.}  As the quotes from Balla are genuine, from a non-fiction as opposed to fiction book, should I swap the order round so the stuff I added comes above the fictional description?
Also, I found that Erich Balla {the source quoted in the book} has a German wiki page.  And many people have an auto-translate button in their browsers now.  But I looked at wiki and it said that to link you put [ [:country code:name] ], which I did, using de as country code [ [:de:Erich Balla] ].  {Though without a space between the two square brackets, obviously.}
However this displayed it on the page {with a sort of mauve coloured link} as de:Erich Balla.  The link still worked, but it would have confused people reading it.
Is this meant to have been displayed in this manner?
Surely you should be able to get it to link without displaying the country code and colon {de:} in front of his name.  Help appreciated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ganpati23 (talk • contribs) 13:34, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
