message: The transcriptions of Caesar, particularly from Cyrillic-written languages, is slightly misleading: There is no difference between bulgarian tsar and Croation car, as Croatian c is always pronounced ts and transcribed as ц in Cyrillic writing. Also, Czar and Tsar are merely two different ways of transcribing the Russian word in an English text. The Russian word itself has not changed.
Also adding the Hungarian word to the list.

message: The article on Julius Caesar#Early life and career has a source on the etymology of the name, being its nickname for the caesarian section, which came before Julius, contrary to the myth. -Inowen (talk) 06:54, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

message: Should Caesar (Byzantine title) be merged into this page? This page includes a number of different usages of the title, not all just from the imperial Roman period. Neither page is all that long. –Iveagh Gardens (talk) 16:41, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

message: The article claims that "Qas'r (palace)" is derived from Caesar. Qasr is usually considered to be derived from the Latin word for castle, not from Caesar! Wiki article Qasr also indicates "castrum" as origin. I cannot read or speak Arabic, maybe there are two similar words spelled in slightly different ways and we should just remove "(palace)"; or maybe there are two different theories about the etymology of qasr, and that needs to be elaborated in the respective article. Also, "Qas'r" with apostrophe looks like a weird (or wrong?) transliteration to me. Arminden (talk) 06:25, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

message: A hint to the etymology of Caesar as a title lies in Latin. In conjunction with Sarium, Se forms Se Sarium, a brief title when further simplified in Latin, from
Se Sarium --> to C-ae-sar 
C, in this titular context, represents Roman Latin's of the time's plosive introductory character in titles.
Æ represents a dipthrong of vocal excitation, leading to, sar.
Sar is a shortened abbreviation in this title for Sarium, in general, in vernacular English meaning "is necessary"
The implied [MAN] Is Necessary, in Vernacular English, unpacked, is what Caesar in conjunction with Gaius Julius Caesar means. Fitting, for a dictator.
The title of Caesar, is Gaius's personal attempt in his self Cognomina ex virtute, to label himself as necessary as a leader.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.20.225.225 (talk) 11:20, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

message: From the article Constantius II: "Constantius was a son of Constantine the Great, who elevated him to the imperial rank of Caesar on 8 November 324". Which date is correct: 1 March 317 or 8 November 324? - Eroica (talk) 13:17, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: 324. Constantius was only born in August 317. The March 1 refers to his older brother Constantine II. 2001:569:7EBB:7D00:DC0F:48E:9FD2:E0A0 (talk) 15:45, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
