Renaming Proclamation on Recognizing the Golan Heights as Part of the State of Israel to United States recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights

 You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Proclamation on Recognizing the Golan Heights as Part of the State of Israel. 2600:1700:BBD0:8050:3C78:A0BB:680D:657F (talk) 03:27, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Misleading Article Edit Request

The Article List of cities in the United Kingdom is misleading, all of London has city status and not the boroughs of Westminster and the City of London. The information provided on the page is contradicted on every other page related to British cities, please can you permanently change the page back to my edit for a more accurate and less misleading article.

Alternatively you can do something similar to the List of cities in Japan page where Tokyo is shown alongside the internal special wards, but a distinction is made between the two types of "cites" again to avoid confusion and misinformation.

Talk:Farad (disambiguation)

Please don't create empty talk pages for dab pages: see the note at Template:WikiProject Disambiguation which specifically says "Please do not use this template solely to create talk pages that otherwise have no content.". The purpose of a banner is to draw the attention of the relevant Wikiproject, and the Disambiguation WikiProject picks up all disambiguation pages without the need for the banner, or the talk page. The existence of the talk page means that editors will sometimes click on it expecting that it might contain relevant discussion, so wasting their time if it only has this banner. Thanks. PamD 15:33, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

@PamD: Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Is there a different way to get XTools to pick up the pagetype for dab pages, then? That's the reason I was adding them. Sharper {talk} 15:35, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, haven't a clue about XTools. The dab page itself will always be in Category:Disambiguation pages or one of its subcategories, so it presumably uses that? PamD 18:22, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Use of capital letters in the titles of Canadian federal government ministers

It has been observed that you have edit several articles connected the the federal government of Canada, namely the removal of capital letters from their official titles. Before reversing them, I thought it best to understand the move because it does seem inconsistent with how said Federal Government (websites for the Government of Canada and the Office of the Prime Minister) and the media (local and international) refers to said ministers. Could you please advise?

Hi, I'm not sure I recall which specific edits you're referring to. Could you provide me with some examples? Thanks, Sharper {talk} 18:06, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
