Talk:Palatinate

Pfalz Flugzeugwerke and Palatinate
I removed the reference to the air plane manufacturer from the list. Unless the manufacturer actually goes by the name Palatinate, I do not see why it should be listed. Also, this list is almost exclusively states or regions. If we extend this to include Pfalz Flugzeugwerke, then we have to include everything with Pfalz in the name, from beer brands to paperclip manufacturers. I just don't think someone looking for the Palatinate would be looking for the airplane manufacturer.imars 20:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Currently, Pfalz redirects to Palatinate. I suppose that's why the manufacturer was added, it's probably better to make Pfalz a disambiguation article. Markussep 15:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Clarity
This disambiguation page would make a bit more sense if it were cleaned up a little - reading through it, it appears to be a list of Palatinates in different countries with things like the colour and newspaper tacked onto the end.

Also, as the page is entitled Palatinate (not Pfalz), and this is the English version of Wikipedia, shouldn't the UK section come above Germany? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.11.13.181 (talk) 22:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC).


 * Well alphabetically, G does come before U.imars 07:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The part about palatines in Poland doesn't belong in this disambiguation page. It should probably be turned into a separate article, or merged with voivode. Markussep Talk 11:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Removal of disambiguation template
I do not think that "palatinate" should be a disambiguation page. I think that it should be an article. It seems that people do not refer to "palatinate" alone. They include other words to specify what palatinate they are talking about. In that way, this is not a disambiguation page because no two articles could reasonably be named simply "palatinate" on Wikipedia. Also, insular area and Commonwealth realm are articles, as are many administrative divisions. I think that there is enough information on the subject to make a small article, at the very least. However, I do not object to maintaining a list of palatinates within the article. If people are set on having a disambiguation page, perhaps it should be at "palatinate (disambiguation)", and the article would have a link to the disambiguation page at the top. -- Kjkolb (talk) 03:23, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
