Talk:Literature Wales

POV check
Labeling as pov-check, as it was written by apparently a representative (user:Academi, contributions), and includes phrases like "internationally respected", "foremost", "invaluable", "ultimate". Arbitrary username 13:52, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's a great advert, much of it in Managementspeak. I'll try editing out some of the adjectives and the superlatives and see if that helps.  If Academi does what it says it does, it should weed out these words anyway, as they're bad writing, and the Academi is supposed to encourage good writing. Gwaka Lumpa 23:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I hope you agree I've changed it enough to remove the tag. Gwaka Lumpa 00:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Requested move
The Welsh Academy → Academi — to move poor English translation to the correct name. It's called Academi, and its website uses that name and not "The Welsh Academy", which is hardly ever used except by English academics in England Trident13 14:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Survey - in support of the move

 * 1) Support. Use English is generally superceded in the case where a non-English name is the undisputed official and self-identifying name of an entity; see Naming conflict. cab 01:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

The Academi
Note that, the above discussion notwithstanding, the organization refers to itself in English (on its website and in its publications) as the Academi. -- Picapica 11:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Understand where you are comng from, but unless there are numerous things called "X", wikipedia convention doesn't include "the" in the article name. Rgds, - Trident13 12:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

You misunderstand me. I was in no way proposing an alteration to the article's title (I agree with you entirely that it is correct as it stands) -- just explaining my insertion of the word "the" in several places in sentences in the text, in the same way that the Academi itself does when writing about itself in English. Cheers. -- Picapica 21:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I think we are violently agreeing here - sorry! Rgds, - Trident13 21:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
