Minister for Interior (Greece) → Minister for the Interior (Greece) — Relisted for further input. Jafeluv (talk) 06:49, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

The former is incorrect English. Constantine  ✍  08:49, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Idiom would be Minister of the Interior or Interior Minister. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:54, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * You are right, and, personally, I'd prefer "Interior Affairs" as well, since it is Εσωτερικών [Υποθέσεων] in Greek. User:Damac has been moving these pages from "Minister of" to "Minister for", so Minister of Foreign Affairs (Greece) should also be changed. Constantine  ✍  16:01, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: note that Associated Press of Pakistan uses "Federal Minister for Interior" ; Google News search turns up that as well as a number of uses of "Interior Minister". There doesn't seem to be too much WP consensus, though none that I have checked use the word "for": Internal Affairs Minister of Israel, Interior Minister of Pakistan, Minister of the Interior (France), Federal Ministry of the Interior (Germany), Ministry of Internal Affairs (Russia) (note Germany and Russia articles are about ministry rather than minister). -M.Nelson (talk) 02:49, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The Pakistan AP dispatch also has an evident typo in the second paragraph; unfortunate that they aren't writing better, but there it is. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:38, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
