Talk:James Douglas

message: And other titles, obviosly; I understand the usual Wiki rule about direct-dabbing links, especially on disambiguation pages; but there's at least two Sir James Douglases on this page; James Douglas (governor) and Sir James Douglas preceding him in the list; it's a matter of luck as to how some articles get their titles, not that I'm saying "my" JD over osmebody else's JD is what I'm on about here; but rather isn't it better - or wouldn't it be better- if on people lists like this one that dablinks be used in the case of knighthoods and other similar titles; not just that they earned them, but that people coming to look for Sir James Douglas, while sure "governor" helps ott in the link....I dunno, just doesn't seem right not ti let these guys wear their titles in the foyer, so to speak; either that or there's Sir James Douglas (disambiguation) to think about, if there's more than those two (I don't have time to look right now, and this is being typed half-blind as I misplaced/lost my glasses earlier today so don't want to try and read pages; typing's different); any number of nobility disambiguation pages for "Duke of This" and "Duke of That" have the advantage of those long, deliberately unique legal/dynastic names and 3rd barnoet/4th duke appendages and all that, which are in their article titles; in this case IMO Sir James Douglas (governor) might have been a better way to go; i.e. if knighthoods are to be or can be included in titles, why syould they be omitted?  Not a pressing issue just curious as to if there's any override on the direct-cab thing for certain kinds of things.....Skookum1 08:31, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is discussed at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Honorific_prefixes. The policy states that biographical articles on subjects with honorific prefixes such as "Sir" or "Dame" should be renamed sans honorific to conform with WP style, and the honorific attributed in the inline text. That sort of move would be noncontroversial, and you should be able to go ahead and do it. Or I will. Regardless, nobody's article should have "Sir" in it, not even the venerable Father of British Columbia.  fishy 21:40, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is one thing that should be changed, in the policy. Sir James Douglas the hero of the wars of Scottish Independence was the first James in history to be so called. Furthermore he is commonly known  as Sir James in all relevant contemporary sources such as John of Fordun, Froissart etc. The premise should be for the inclusion of martial knighthoods rather than honorary ones.

Talk:Chicopee Ski Club

message: * Cleaned up the page, removed the phrase "and was created by retreating glaciers approximately 12,000 years ago." as that's the exact phrase a Chicopee PR person used to reply to an online review, plus it's a statement of questionable fact that's mostly irrelevant, as that could be said of any ski hill in the area. Really, it's more of a PR statement to address the popular nickname "Mount Trashmore" which came about from rumors that Chicopee was built on a dry landfill (people assume "landfill = garbage" nowadays. I really doubt it since it was established in 1934 and I doubt that they would have trucked dirt way out there. There is the possibility that it was augmented though - I cannot verify that.

Talk:List of populated places in the Tibet Autonomous Region

message: Why are these names in Pinyin Transcription?
Pinyin Transcription means the Tibetan names have been transcribed from Tibetan to Chinese characters and then into English. The phonetics of the chinses language and the absence of diacritics does not allow for a phonetically correct transliteration of Tibetan; the place names are sometimes greatly different from the name by which the place is referred to by those living there.
So we have an illogically contived transliteration that is not used on the ground.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.111.119.42 (talk) 09:10, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Suggested format

message: While it was wishful thinking to want to have articles on every village, they were mostly created at a time when only databases like falling rain existed, which as we know contains gross errors with population and often errors in altitude and locations. Given that we now at least have Chinese coverage of township level divisions I think the best thing to do for now is to redirect our short stubs which aren't designated towns to here and aim to work on getting the township articles all consistent (ideally start class with some sourced info) and the remaining ones started. Each township should then have sections on the villages within them, those would be the best place for minor details. Eventually I think this article should have a list of major towns in population order and a tabled list by county with population and coordinates should they ever become available for all villages. There's still a huge number of place names missing, you only have to look on Google Earth to see that. But I think this is the best approach, and to hopefully get the most notable settlements up to scatch first.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:14, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
