[edit] Naming
How about some standardized manner of listing the Knights? Some of these names have surnames in CAPS, some don't, some are neatly stacked, others are all jumbled... Missi —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mississippienne (talk • contribs) 23:13, April 17, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Keep Grand Masters and General List Separate
These really need to be separate as the GM list is already tainted with two individuals (Andre' de Montbard and Everard des Barres) who were regional leaders but probably not GMs. GMs must have resided in Jerusalem and these two did not, at least not during their terms.
[edit] Reason to exist of the list
The list of templars is important because, there are some people who try to make a link between templars after 1307 and other organisations. The question is: If no one mentioned after 1307 as templar was not in command position before 1307 where is the continuity? There was no Larmenius in templars comanderies, where is the link whith the templars? Larmenius Period
[edit] Merge
The Grand Master of the Knights Templar should probably be moved to Grand Masters of the Knights Templar, and linked from the main Knights Templar article, which currently has a duplicate of the information (except is better hyperlinked). Elonka 04:28, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A few things
This article requires three things, as I see it, to be appropiate to WIkipedia 1. A standardized manner of listing the Knights (as stated by Missi) - when one reads an entry here, he wants it to have a certain general appearence and order, so it will not look like a patchwork of writings. I suggest surnames capitalized completely, and first names only capitilized first letters. 2. Merging. This and Grand Masters of the Knights Templar should be merged, as these are both just plain lists, and of practicly the same subject. The above linked subject should just be a sub-list in this subject. 3. Information Verification and expansion. These are lists only, a long line of names, some linked, some don't. This Info should be verified with official documents and/or people and not Via the un-verified sites of the Internet. Also, it would be nice to incloud a small text about each one, Being a sort of Lexicon, rather then a plain list of links and/or names. XonoX 10:17, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- Info about each would be good, as would some reference to credible sources. However, I'd suggest that the GM list be kept separate as more will be available for each of them (probably), and the info might be enough to justify a paragraph or so, and hopefully a link to a separate article. In accordance with English style, and with Internet style in which ALL CAPS is regarded as impolite shouting, I'd suggest first and last names, as well as titles, have intial caps only.
- Further, it occurs to me that WP writers in other languages might be asked to assist as at least some of the (credible) source material will be in languages other than English and elsewhere in any case. The English WP could, of course, offer to return the favor and coordinate formats so that such information in the various WP might have a uniform appearance, thus saving everyone more typing (and us all from the consequent typos).

[edit] Jehan de Vezelay
Jehan de Vezelay also known as the prohet Johannes of Jerusalem is missing. Interestingly, there is an article of it in the Albanian version of Wikipedia.
[edit] King Arthur and the Knights Templar
When I started reading the list, I was thinking in finding King Arthur, although I didn't find him. I was thinking, did King Arthur was connected to them, was one of the knights, or even be a Grand Master? I have some supporting information that could prove my affirmation, but I shall put them later. First, one detail, I've heard and studied some facts and events that made me think of King Arthur being one of the Knights Templar. One interesting thing is that both King Athur and his Knights of the Round Table, and the Knights Templar were having quests and some events including he Holy Grail at the same time period(which both powers ranged until the mid-1400s). If you guys please help me about this or have any opinion, I would be pleased to read it.

[edit] Cleanup
I'm not sure it's worth keeping a list of every Knight Templar, considering that there were many thousands of them throughout their 200 years of existence. Perhaps we should limit the list to only those members who either have their own articles, or potentially could have their own articles someday, by being a Master of a local order or perhaps a key figure in a battle somewhere. What do others think? --Elonka 22:36, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
