Talk:John Palaiologos (brother of Michael VIII)

Despot?
Why is this in the title? It would seem to me not to conform with MOS. What is wrong with just having his name as the article title? Gatoclass (talk) 07:57, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * There were several Palaiologoi named John, and despot (despotes) was the highest title he had. I don't particularly like it either, if you have any better disambiguation, please suggest it. Perhaps John Palaiologos (brother of Michael VIII)? Constantine ✍  08:53, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * How many Palaiolgoi's are there currently on Wikipedia? If none, you don't need to disambiguate at all right now. But if you want to, I think you should at least put "Despot" in brackets to conform with the usual practice. And in lower case I think, unless "Despot" was a formal title.

 * Aside from him, there are three emperors with that name. I was already thinking about moving the title into brackets, so that's preferable. Cheers, Constantine ✍  11:18, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
