message: I know definitions are candidates for removal to the Wikidictionary, but shouldn't the whole definition/etymology section be moved there?  Also - Count Chocula.  Funny, but ... more fitting in Uncyclopedia. Chocula isn't the only fictional/humorous reference or usage, so shouldn't there be some additional section for just that? - IstvanWolf 04:00, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Mere dictionary definitions are indeed candidates for removal to  Wikidictionary. The history of what words have been meaning, where they have come from and how they change in meaning is part of the history of ideas and quite clearly an encyclopedic topic, as this article itself demonstrates. Adding Count Chocula is an adolescent's joke. --Wetman 09:01, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I do not believe that Croatian knez, kneginja is etymologically derived from latin comes, count. It clearly is a version of slavic word knjaz... and knyazinja.. that means Prince and is a cognate of indo-eur words king.... croatian word should not be mentioned as etymological, and if it really there corresponds with prince as in otyher slavic languages, then it should not be here at alll.

message: Aerodynamicists and in the general aerospace domain, "count" is an adimensional unit for measuring drag. The drag of an object is usually defined as the projection over an axis parallel to flow direction of the total aerodynamic loads that act upon the object (excluding thrust). The magnitude of the resulting drag vector is denoted by D (in Newtons if using SI units). The drag D is roughly proportional to the air-density and velocity^2, so usually the drag D is made adimensional by defining a coefficient CD such that D = 1/2*rho*V^2*c*CD, where c is a measure (in the order of magnitude) of the object's length, required to make CD non-dimensional. This convention was fixed years ago but the importance of the CD grew to a point where a difference of 0.0001 is enough to drop a couple chairs on a the Concord design. Therefore, aerodynamicists adopted the unit count, where a CD of 1 count is equal to CD = 0.0001 (10^-4). CD being adimensional, the "count" unit is also adimensional.

message: Please excuse me, but are papal titles always at least partly in Italian(e.g. Principe de Polignac), or they are completely in the language of the recipient(e.g. Prince de Polignac)? I hope that this is not excessively irrelevant.--Anglius 19:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I've heard (though ive been unable to find any academic verification online) that the nordic term Earl was adopted in Britain because Count was so phonetically similar to cunt. The fact that an Earl's wife is still called a Countess makes even more sense when considered in this light. I've actually run across this theory more than once, it seems to be pretty much accepted de facto even if it doesn't appear in the canon of linguistic history. I think this is pretty interesting, would anybody object to a casual reference to this somewhere in the first paragraph? Wording it NPOV would be tricky, so i'm not going to bother putting in the effort if its going to get deleted. --popefauvexxiii 02:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

message: For many years we had the tiny stub on Polish count equivalent, hrabia. In 15 years it hasn't improved, and :pl:hrabia is about the title count - in Poland and other countries. While in theory, I can see the article on this topics (hrabia, or count (Poland) existing as a stand-alone entry, the current entry doesn't necessitate a stand-alone article. I suggest merging this here, with no prejudice to splitting it once the section actually is longer than the current 2-3 sentences.
