Thank you for the correction with regards to proper procedure, it is appreciated. It was more your insistence in persisting in your claims that I found somewhat provocing. I would have had a closer look at things after the person I was requesting sources from stated that he had made no such changes, not just charged along.Manxruler 01:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Its cool, just try and be a little bit less hasty, is all. Manxruler 01:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Baldwin/Baudouin

You were not forced to do anything, especially move it to a just as incorrect form. You could have utilized WP:RM. I am dismayed that someone can be so rude as to expect (basically demand) me to move it to the original title when I am unable to (just as you are). As far as I am concerned, it is your problem and not mine for that reason alone. Charles 09:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

There is a difference between a title and a territorial designation. The King was titled King of the Belgians, yes, but he was also of Belgium. We wouldn't say the King of Belgium because that is not a proper title, but we could say Baudouin/Baldwin of Belgium without the title. Also, we don't have an article called Margrethe II, Denmark's Queen, which is her formal title. We don't use titles for kings and emperors unless there is nothing that the title is specifically "of", such as a German Emperor or a Holy Roman Emperor... Those are more like modifications to a title although there was actually a territory for each. Remember, I had to change just as many redirects, including some double redirects that were left behind when you moved it. There are no exceptions to the title rule whereas the given name is always a grey area for some monarchs. WP:RM can be used and the admin will do all of the work of changing the redirects.

No, we do not use "of the Belgians" because we do not include the title of king. The form is "Name of Place". Charles 11:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, sadly, I find maintaining the naming conventions for sovereigns to be necessary. The anglicization is something that has to be brought up at Requested Moves. Charles 11:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

No need to thank me. Sorry for losing my cool yesterday. I had an awful day and should have checked my attitude at the door. Charles 23:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm an admin, so I could delete the redirect page. john k 15:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shahbag, request for help

Hi. I was going through your discussions on Talk:Bangladesh Liberation War. I want to request you to take a look at the Shahbag, an article I was working on, It's coming out nice, but still has a long way to go. Would you care to take a look at it, please? Aditya Kabir 22:49, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

It's not on war or anything. But, your fastidiousness with citation and all that stuff may come to good use. Awaiting your advises. You can post either to the article talk page or my talk page. Cheers. Aditya Kabir 22:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
