Ignorant Americans don't exactly know what this means[edit]
I was a bit started to see an unassuming single line on the main page announce "The Government of Belgium falls". That seems like a big deal to me! And yet this is a small article. I'm a typical American and don't know much about political systems outside of a representative democracy. I presume then that the "fall of government" in this case doesn't involve a coup, rioting, etc? Perhaps someone with a greater understanding of the subject could explain how this appears to be a news non-item when it seems like it ought to be grabbing the headlines. Is this a regular occurrence? Phasmatisnox (talk) 01:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Consensus wasn't established at WP:ITN/C, as there was no nomination. I left a message on several pages to remove the item until the article better explains what is happening. SpencerT♦C 01:59, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Everything is "current" "is" "are". We need to change tenses! I'd do it, but I'm kinda sleepy. --79.65.69.55 (talk) 01:03, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
First?[edit]
Should we call this Leterme I Government if there is no Leterme II Government?--Avala (talk) 15:48, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Move?[edit]
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: moved. Not much of a consensus here, but as this is a request to revert an undiscussed move we default to moving back to the stable title. This all said, I agree with what Anthony, Skinsmoke and Andrewa have said and would recommend starting a wider discussion for all Belgian cabinet articles. Jenks24 (talk) 09:18, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
First Cabinet of Yves Leterme → Leterme I Government –
- Reverting a page move that was done without any discussion nor any given reason. The user who moved the page neither answered my question on his talk page. The previous name "Leterme I Government" is like all other Belgian government cabinets. Relisted. BDD (talk) 18:13, 6 March 2013 (UTC) SPQRobin (talk) 17:56, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
- "First Cabinet of Yves Leterme" seems clearer to me, since I am not Belgian. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:58, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: Must admit, Leterme I Government seems very odd in English. It suggests he is of the royal family. Agree it makes sense to consider all the similar pages together though. Skinsmoke (talk) 21:37, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
- Support: This is standard notation for governments around the world. It's also the stance adopted in many WP:BELG articles, i.e. Pierlot IV Government. An across-the-board move to First X Government (like British topics) would be OK too, but would require much more effort.---Brigade Piron (talk) 14:21, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: Neither the current nor the proposed title seem good to me, I think that First Leterme Government should be seriously considered. The wider consistency is more important here. Andrewa (talk) 15:00, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
