Talk:David V. Aguilar

message: The sources I have looked at thus far give this person's middle initial as "V" rather than "A". Can anyone comment on why we have the middle initial "A" given here? I will wait a little while for comment before editing. Thanks KConWiki (talk) 05:39, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I have found many many online sources that refer to the government official who is the subject of this article as "David V. Aguilar", and none that refer to "David A. Aguilar" or "David A. Aguilar Jr.". David A. Aguilar is the name of an astronomer from Harvard. So, I am removing all the references to middle initial "A" and suffix "Jr." from this article.

Talk:David W. Guion

message: It was originally just David Guion, until it was changed without discussion on 8 November 2006 to David Wendel Guion.
The new name struck me, as I’d always understood he had 2 middle names – Wendell and Fentress – see ,  .  Seems the New Grove Dictionary of American Music accords him Fentress.  However, Fentress does not appear in all refs, and there's no mention of it on his gravestone.
He published as David W. Guion. , 
Then there’s the issue of how Wendell is spelt: the standard spelling is 2 l’s , and 2 l’s appear on his gravestone , but the one-l version appears in various places .
So, what should Wikipedia call him?  It may just have been his publisher’s preference to call him David W. Guion on his published works.  He’s generally referred to as simply David Guion, and I can see no compelling reason to use any of his middle names (whatever they were and however they were spelt) in the title.  We don't have any need for disambiguation, and if we did, we could have David Guion (composer). We don't use middle names in titles unless they are part of how the person was and is generally referred to (eg. John Charles Thomas, never just John Thomas).  Restoring the original title would avoid the problems of how Wendell is spelt, and whether or not Fentress should be included.  
However, we can and should discuss the issues around his name in the body of the article.  --  Jack of Oz  ... speak! ...  23:53, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Ding Dong, Texas

message: 1) This location does not appear to be recognized by the census or US post office, so I'm listing it as unincorporated.  It currently appears to be indistinguishable from the other unincorporated suburban areas near Killeen, TX.  It has a Killeen zip code.
2) The "mayor" Charlie Hold was listed as "unofficial mayor" in 1962 in a magazinearticle.  Since it's not incorporated, and Charlie would be 48 years older than he was at the time of the article, I'm removing the mayor entry. 
3) "Population" is pretty meaningless with no census designation to indicate what geographical area is covered by the name.  Handbook of Texas online lists it as 22 in 1990 and 2000, instead of the 301 previously listed.  so I'm removing that too.  
4) dingdongtx.org website is no longer active. - Removed.

Because the title is supposed to convey a clear information about the content (and not let the reader guess whether it lists authors of plants (genetic engineers?)), I suggest to rephrase it as "List of South African botanists by author abbreviation" or "List of South African authors of botanical names". --Yerpo (talk) 07:35, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Crempog

message: The commentator in paragraph 2 of the article, though unfamiliar with Wikipedia conventions, is correct.
"Crempog" is the ordinary Welsh language word for what in English is called a "pancake", and it appears as such in standard dictionaries such as Collins Spurrell Pocket Welsh Dictionary.  It is not a special word for a special Welsh kind of pancake. Nor in fact is it an English word at all, and it seems to me that the case for it appearing in the English Wikipedia is really extremely poor. Arguably, a Welsh version of it should appear in the Welsh Wikipedia, and if there are local Welsh versions of pancake recipes they should either be dealt with in the general article "pancake", or receive their own articles entitled in the English language.

replies: text: I've always seen it referred to as just "Ballachulish" on maps (including this old OS map) and in books (and RailScot). Early timetables had it as "Ballachulish (Glencoe) for Kinlochleven" whereas later ones had just "Ballachulish", with a footnote that it's the station for Glencoe and Kinlochleven. Photographs show an old nameboard reading "Ballachulish (Glencoe) for Kinlochleven" on Platform 2 but there was a large nameboard on the opposite platform, possibly BR-era, reading just "Ballachulish" in large capital letters. The station did acquire BR totems, but it's hard to tell from photos what was written on them; I suspect it was just "Ballachulish". Although the article has to acknowledge every name by which the station was known, "Ballachulish" should be the most prominent, and not just for reasons of brevity. –Signalhead < T > 22:55, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
