Hi Mark and welcome -- some of us have been working on a nomenclature standard for articles -- especially for royals. You might want to take a look. THe reason behind this is that names repeat themselves so often among royal families that it can be very confusing. Think about how many Henry II there are among all the kingdoms and principalities that have existed in European history! In your most recent example, Princess Margaret might mean something to royal watchers now, but only because she's a 20th c. celebrity. We're therefore trying to come up with mose lasting, sensible titles... what do you think? User:JHK
I totally agree. Actually I was wondering about that when I wrote it, but just decided to go ahead and write a little. Another one of these is the "Queen Mother" which is of course completely vague, yet at the same time, the only name by which probably 90% of people know Elizabeth II's mother. Whereabouts is this being discussed? Mark
- Well, it was on History/Nomenclature -- I think it will come up if you do a search. Also, Michael Tinkler has just started a page -- Royal styles or something. For the Queen Mum, I just don't know. I'd almost say E the Queen Mother, because she'd probably the only one who's been around long enough that people might look for her...User:JHK

Hello Dze27. How is the bot going? I'd like to check it out when you're done if you feel like sharing :-) matt 04:49 Feb 6, 2003 (UTC)
- I'll definitely share it when I'm done. I've had a serious case of Civilization III addiction that I've been feeding too much lately though :) Dze27
Thanks for the scraped announcements feed! I'm working on adding RSS support (back) to the wiki... if you've got any advice / recommendations / warnings / horrified comments, please drop by m:MediaWiki syndication feeds. --Brion 03:27, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hi! Based on your simple suggestion, I've started a project on WikiProject Computing to propose a standard pseudocode for use throughout the Wikipedia that I call wikicode. Please join the wikiproject (no commitment required) and please participate in the discussion about wikicode. Thanks!
