Talk:Fools' Revolt

Article title
There's probably some more specific WP:MOS consideration about this, but anyway. Hope this helps. 09:43, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Whatever the substantive article title should be, it should be in the form "Fools' revolt" - the revolt was by a group, not an individual, so in English the apostrophe should be after the plural name of the group
 * A 2010 article, in English, in Der Spiegel (website) refers to the "Narrenrevolte" as the "Jesters' Revolt"
 * "Narr" in German is usually translated as "fool" (see: Das Narrenschiff (Brant) and en Ship of Fools (satire). In this context, "Jester" would appear to be about particular theatrical characters called in English "fools".

 * Support, but if it is not a proper noun, perhaps Fools' revolt would be better? If it is a proper noun, then move per nom. Bensci54 (talk) 17:41, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Support per nominator. "Fools revolt" would be grammatical only if it formed a sentence such as "the fools revolt now", which this article is not about. J I P  &#124; Talk 19:21, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
