List of collective nouns
The entry for bursar in List of collective nouns appears to be bogus. I do not see where the source verifies it's entry. Please do not restore it again unless you can show the page number and text that supports it. Thanks. Joja lozzo  22:30, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Help me!
User:Epistemos has made quite a number of page moves between 16th December 2015 and 23rd December 2015 involving so-called 'common nouns'.

e.g. List of Governors-General of Australia has been moved to List of governors-general of Australia.

I notice that a couple of other users have had issue with these moves and moved some pages back.

Yet List of Governors-General of India was moved to List of governors-general of India back in 2014 and nobody has changed it back since.

I was wondering if non-capitalisation of these titles is correct or not.

If they should not have been moved, then there are a lot of articles that need moving back.

If the moves are in line with Wikipedia policy, then should pages such as Governor-General of Australia and Governor-General of India also be moved.

Please advise. Also, if the pages need moving back, I request assistance with this as I am not overly confident in doing so.

 * It looks like the article do need moving back because they are proper nouns as per MOS:JOBTITLES. I'll move them back. Thanks, Tom29739 [ talk ] 17:53, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Ainslie Roberts re Australian 2 dollar coin
Hi Ozzieboy,

Just querying your edit here. Several WP pages now have information connecting the aboriginal depicted on the $2 coin with Gwoya Jungarai. However none of the cited on-line Mint references mention him by name. Possibly,

Is more explicit? If you know anything more please let me know. 220  of  Borg 02:43, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
