Talk:Quarter days
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Move page
Proposition to move Quarter days to Quarter day for symmetry with Cross-quarter day. The singular is also easier to link to, because it's easier to write [[Quarter day]]s than to write [[Quarter days|quarter day]]. --gwc 07:45, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge Quarter days and Scottish term days
Duplicate content, with the Scottish section in Quarter days containing much of the Scottish term days content, although not in as much depth.
A merged, and cleaned up, article would be of much more worth. Thanks/wangi 16:59, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose Quarter days is not the most commonly used expression for these holy days in Scotland.--Mais oui! 17:40, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: The term would of course still be used as a redirect, the term would of course still be bolded in this article. It is clear from this article that we are talking about essentially the same subject and indeed the Scottish term days article goes into greater depth than the Scottish info on this page, but it is the same information. The term is largely archaic too. Consider WP:MM: "There are two or more articles on related subjects that have a large overlap. Wikipedia is not a dictionary; there doesn't need to be a separate entry for every concept in the universe. For example, "Flammable" and "Non-flammable" can both be explained in an article on Flammability.. Thanks/wangi 21:01, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: No - there is sufficient difference between quarter days and the Scottish term days to justify separate articles. In the absence of a good majority to merge, then the status quo should prevail. Arcturus 00:21, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose These days are quite distinct from the English quarter days. They merit an article in their own right. Arcturus 18:54, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- Support- they are both short stubs on the same topic, and could easily be merged. Astrotrain 22:16, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose - and I'm sure if someone proposed the merger in the other direction (suggesting that quarter days are 'just another name for' term days) it would not even be discussed. So, use the correct 'term' for each, keepthem as separate, and link between them. Principle of least surprise. Grouping everything under whatever term England uses is not needed. Pulling the shorter term day info from quarter days and linking tothe better article would be useful, however. --Nantonos 10:40, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
- I have removed merge template, as consensus is opposed to merge.--Mais oui! 14:50, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
Tidied article, added headings, slight reorg. Removed cleanup template as I believe it's now cleaned up :) --Bookgrrl 01:57, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
