Talk:Radulf

Wording of Radulf
No idea what you are talking about. Disambig pages are certainly supposed to explain the notability of the persons it lists, and my changes to Radulf do exactly that. There were probably 100,000+ 12th century monks; Radulphe is infamous to this day for a specific reason. -- 146.115.187.76 (talk) 23:36, 25 December 2010 (UTC)


 * That may very well be the case, but the wording is inherently not Neutral. Prehaps instead of "called for the murder of the Jews" you could say "advocated genocide of the Jewish Population", but even that isn't really an impartial tone. Anyways I'm not sure that you need to add that to the disambiguation page at all. The whole purpose of a disambig is to get users to a page as quickly as possible where there a title can have multiple meanings. While there may be hundreds of thousands of 12th century monks I doubt there are hundreds of thousands of 12 century monks whom are notable and have wikipedia articles. --nn123645 (talk) 23:56, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The whole purpose of a disambig is to get users to a page as quickly as possible Exactly, and if all the reader knew beyond the basics was that Radulf/Radople was a religious figure in the late Middle Ages he'd have to check 2 other articles first before finding the one he was looking for, since he shares a name with a bishop and an abbot of the period as well. Neutrality isn't really an issue as this is a plain case of WP:SPADE; not many 12th century monks get written about in the Jewish Encyclopedia. -- 146.115.187.76 (talk) 00:12, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I still think the mention of murder is too judgemental. The objective is to clairify the difference, murder or suprmicist is pretty much a label that should be avoided as much as possible, except in cases where it obviously applies (e.g. Jack the Ripper or Ted Bundy). While I realize you are not overtly calling him that it leans in that direction. --nn123645 (talk) 00:28, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Good point; "killing" might be more exacting. Thanks for clarifying what the bot was up to. Rants about Judaism are probably common among vandals as well, but as long as the bot isn't going to make a habit of chasing me around whenever I pop thru to clean up the articles I maintain on interfaith relations without logging in, I'm a happy camper. -- 146.115.187.76 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:54, 26 December 2010 (UTC).

Per discussion on talk I am removing the word "murder" from the Radople link. --nn123645 (talk) 02:48, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
