Monarchist/Royalist
They are effectively the same thing, but a monarchist simply belives in the monarchy system, a royalist belives a certain person should be running things.

As an example:

Monarchist: I think we should have someone in charge and running things.

Royalist: I think John Smith should be in charge and running things.

A Royalist is effectively just a more specific Monarchist. Half Shadow  03:38, 20 October 2008 (UTC)


 * That's one way of looking at it. But if you look up Merriam-Webster, it simply directs you to the entry on monarchism . American Heritage also agrees, as does Oxford . The consensus seems to be that it is fully synonymous with "monarchism," with the latter definition being secondary or a rather uncommon usage. IranianGuy (talk) 04:25, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Canada page
Thanks for the bold editing. I think the wording better reflects what's in the sources. I tweaked your contribution a little. I thought that both sides should be presented in a balanced way.

I orignally thought that this was a somewhat esoteric point, put in the early days of a minority government it could become important awfully quickly.

Please leave a few comments on the talk page. I'd like your contribution to stick and documenting your rationale helps build consensus. --soulscanner (talk) 21:02, 1 November 2008 (UTC)


 * We're rewriting the whole section, and will probably be moving the King-Byng thing to the Government of Canada page where we'll expand on it. You're welcome to help with or comment on the rewriting. It will add to whatever consensus we come up with. --soulscanner (talk) 05:32, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

You raised a question as to Incoherency of arguments. My answers are on that talk page. Skywriter (talk) 02:06, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

1953 Iranian coup
Asking for help. I thought the article was making some progress on non-controversial areas but it was only because Kurdo777 had taken a break. Do you have any recommendations? --BoogaLouie (talk) 22:02, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

ON Layli o Majnun or Khosrow o Shirin,.. you simply have to revert the ips and possibly report them to admins. Thanks--Khodabandeh14 (talk) 02:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Lendering
You need to read WP:BLP. Sources must unambiguously meet our criteria at WP:RS for anything controversial. The magazine you linked did not, and claims that Lendering is anti-Semitic need solid sources. Dougweller (talk) 16:20, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Kaveh Farrokh
Kaveh and I are friends, at least via email, but you went a bit overboard here. See my edit summaries. We don't even call David Irving a historian. I've tried to make it clear that the vituperative (or whatever word was used) responses weren't by Farrokh. His fulltime job is a college counselor, as you know - a bit of lecturing doesn't actually make you an academic. Lots of people do part time lecturing in subjects they know a lot about, but that doesn't make them academics. Dougweller (talk) 16:32, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
