Talk:Federal

For a disambiguation page, this contanis too much text imo. Wouter Lievens 1 July 2005 14:22 (UTC)

I agree. I belive there is enough content for the info here to form an article (ie remove the dab tag) and for Federal (disambiguation) to be created.--Commander Keane 19:55, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

maybe we don't need a dab page? there is a see also section Tobias Conradi (Talk) 23:49, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You'd need Federal style architecture and Federal (Amtrak) in a top dab - not a see also. I'm cool with that though, I was thinking there might be another one (3 is really pushing it for a top dab) but if there are only two then no dab is needed. --Commander Keane 23:54, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with CK on this one. The meaning given in the article is so massively dominant that a disam page would be a distraction - better to fix links from those few articles that intend the other meaning. A top dab would be fine, even if there are three pages in it. Soo 19:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

But what would such an article cover that isn't already covered in federalism? D-Rock (Yell at D-Rock) 03:20, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps nothing. Maybe even a redirect would be sensible. Soo 18:24, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Confederacy

...does not mean the Conf states of America. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 05:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirection

from foederal and fœderal, how do you do it? (unsigned)

I believe "Foederal" is a hypercorrection. Randall Bart Talk 00:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked, and the "o" is legit. [1] Randall Bart Talk 01:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Necessary entries?

Could someone who knows more about these things (e.g.: from U.S.) look into whether people really do commonly use federal (without immediate context) to refer to federal republics, federal districts, the federal reserve, &c.

Also, do we really need a link to the U.S. specific page here? Who is going to look up federal expecting to find the U.S. gov specifically?

BTW, it would be nice to have an article on federal universities which is what I was looking for here.

Yes. Americans say "federal" meaning Federal government of the United States all the time. Randall Bart Talk 00:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
