Talk:The British Grenadiers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

== Rationale: This song is always almost always referred to as such. It is entered as such in anthologies , whether of words or music. It is also referred to as such in commentary, e.g., the Regimental Quick March of the Grenadier Guards is "The British Grenadiers." A redirect should exist under British Grenadiers for clarity. … Please share your opinion at Talk:British Grenadiers. --FClef 17:13, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

PLEASE NOTE: I have read the Rule of Thumb regarding definite articles and the definite article is warranted in this case. -- FClef 23:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

But note: Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Avoid the definite article ("the") and the indefinite article ("a"/"an") at the beginning of the page name. More info at: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name). Thanks/wangi 21:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Understood; but notwithstanding this, the definite article here is an integral part of the title. I will copy your comment, for which many thanks, together with this reply to the discussion section of the talk page of the article and refer you there for further discussion over the next five days. -- FClef 23:29, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I have carried out the suggested move and therefore deleted the Proposed Move notice. -- FClef 14:10, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


"In the movies The Patriot and Empire of the Sun "The British Grenadiers" is played." I seem to remember it being played in "Waterloo", as well. 68.234.47.231 03:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, if it was played in that movie, then add it to the list. Rshu 13:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
